Product details
Overview
SMBG5357CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 20 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across broad current and temperature ranges in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5357CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5357CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5357CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5357CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (5.1 A), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL Level 1).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its dynamic impedance is 3.0 Ω at 65 mA test current, and it exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current due to low knee impedance (237 Ω at 1.0 mA).
The SMBG5357CE3/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W power dissipation at lead temperature <25 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 25 °C/W and junction-to-ambient of 90 °C/W on FR4 board. It withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 5.1 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±2% at 65 mA - ensures precise voltage reference within tight tolerance for feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - supports high-energy clamping without heatsink when lead-temperature controlled. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 65 mA - defines maximum continuous DC current before thermal derating begins. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 3.0 Ω at IZT = 65 mA - enables low AC ripple rejection in regulation applications. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.1 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - provides robust transient overvoltage suppression in industrial power rails. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 to +150 °C - suitable for extended-temperature automotive and industrial environments. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL Level 1 - eliminates dry-pack requirement and simplifies SMT assembly logistics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, tolerance, and electrical specs but higher RθJA (120 °C/W). | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density PCBs or automated SMT lines. | Select when legacy board reuse or manual prototyping is prioritized over space and automation. |
| SMBJ5357B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same VZ and power rating but 35 °C/W RθJA and no RoHS e3 option. | Lower profile than SMBG but less visible solder joint; incompatible footprint with DO-215AA. | Select when existing DO-214AA layout exists and RoHS compliance is not required. |
Compared with SMBG5357CE3/TR13, 1N5357B requires through-hole mounting and offers inferior thermal performance, while SMBJ5357B lacks RoHS compliance and uses a different footprint - making SMBG5357CE3/TR13 optimal for new SMT designs demanding regulatory compliance and manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5357CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5357CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured VZ falls between 19.6 V and 20.4 V at 65 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, enabling high-accuracy voltage referencing in feedback networks and calibration circuits.
Does SMBG5357CE3/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5357CE3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) Level 1 classification, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking or humidity-controlled packaging prior to reflow soldering.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5357CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5357CE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 5.1 A, specified for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating supports robust protection against transient overvoltages in industrial control and automotive power distribution systems.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5357CE3/TR13 compare between junction-to-lead and junction-to-ambient?
SMBG5357CE3/TR13 has RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 board. The lower junction-to-lead value indicates efficient heat transfer to PCB copper traces via leads, while the higher junction-to-ambient reflects dependence on board layout - underscoring the need for adequate copper pour for 5 W operation.
Is SMBG5357CE3/TR13 compatible with the legacy 1N5357B diode?
Yes, SMBG5357CE3/TR13 is electrically and functionally equivalent to 1N5357B per Microsemi documentation, sharing identical Zener voltage, tolerance, dynamic impedance, and surge ratings. However, it uses DO-215AA surface-mount packaging instead of axial T-18, requiring PCB footprint redesign.
