Product details
Overview
SMBG5357C/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 20 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 3.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 65 mA test current, and 75 mA maximum regulator current. It operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5357C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5357C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5357C/TR13 application, or SMBG5357C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current capability (5.1 A), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and gull-wing DO-215AA package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse breakdown, maintaining stable output voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its low dynamic impedance (3.0 Ω) ensures minimal voltage deviation across regulated current range (1–75 mA), and its MSL 1 rating eliminates dry-pack requirements for storage and handling.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package provides visible solder joints for optical inspection and supports 5 W power dissipation at lead temperature ≤25 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient rated at 90 °C/W on FR4 board using recommended footprint. Cathode polarity is marked by a band; operation requires cathode biasing positive relative to anode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±2% at 65 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL ≤25 °C - enables robust transient energy absorption without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 3.0 Ω at IZT = 65 mA - ensures <150 mV voltage shift over 10–75 mA load variation |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 75 mA - sets upper limit for continuous DC regulation without thermal runaway |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for efficient heat transfer |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 5.1 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands common AC line transients and ESD events |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; anode and cathode terminals are formed as symmetrical gull-wing leads for reflow-compatible mounting on FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; connected to feedback point or protected circuit node; maintains 20 V reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5357B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods to legacy through-hole 1N5357B, enabling drop-in redesign |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B MSL 1 - no dry pack required, simplifies inventory and assembly logistics |
| Gull-wing lead geometry | Enables visual solder joint inspection and high-yield reflow processing on standard SMT lines |
| Low leakage at VR = 14.4 V | IR ≤ 0.5 µA - minimizes quiescent current loss in battery-powered or low-power standby circuits |
| High surge current rating | 5.1 A non-repetitive peak - protects downstream ICs from IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges without external clamping |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZM, and ZZT; no MSL rating | Requires manual or wave-solder assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole design must be maintained or thermal mass of axial lead improves surge handling |
| SMBJ5357B | J-bend DO-214AA package; same VZ and tolerance but higher ZZT (5.0 Ω); RθJA = 100 °C/W | Lower thermal performance on FR4; less suitable for sustained 5 W operation without copper pour | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint is fixed and moderate regulation stability suffices |
Compared with SMBG5357C/TR13, 1N5357B offers identical regulation but lacks SMT compatibility and MSL 1 assurance, while SMBJ5357B trades off thermal efficiency and impedance for footprint reuse-making SMBG5357C/TR13 optimal for new high-density, thermally constrained designs requiring precision and manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5357C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in SMBG5357C/TR13 specifies a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 65 mA test current, yielding a guaranteed VZ range of 19.6 V to 20.4 V. This tighter tolerance supports high-accuracy feedback loops in regulated power supplies and precision reference applications where ±5% devices would introduce unacceptable output variation.
Does SMBG5357C/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5357C/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry pack or baking. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during reflow and simplifies inventory handling compared to MSL 3+ components.
What is the maximum continuous current SMBG5357C/TR13 can regulate?
SMBG5357C/TR13 supports a maximum continuous regulator current (IZM) of 75 mA at lead temperature ≤25 °C. At higher ambient temperatures, derating applies per the power derating curve in Figure 1; for example, at TA = 70 °C on FR4, usable IZM drops to approximately 42 mA to maintain safe junction temperature.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5357C/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA gull-wing package of SMBG5357C/TR13 features symmetrical, outward-bent leads enabling visual solder joint inspection and superior coplanarity control versus the J-bend leads of DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5357B). This improves first-pass yield in fine-pitch SMT processes and enhances thermal conduction via shorter lead paths to PCB copper.
Can SMBG5357C/TR13 replace 1N5357B in existing designs?
Yes, SMBG5357C/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N5357B per Microsemi documentation, matching VZ, IZM, ZZT, and surge ratings. However, the DO-215AA surface-mount package requires PCB footprint revision; it is not a drop-in replacement unless the layout accommodates gull-wing geometry and thermal relief patterns.
