Product details
Overview
SMBG5361A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 27 V, ±10% tolerance (A-suffix), and maximum Zener current IZM of 50 mA at TL < 25 °C. It uses DO-215AA gull-wing package, supports visible solder joints, and is rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5361A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5361A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5361A/TR13 application, or SMBG5361A/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant plating options, JEDEC 1N53xxB-series equivalence, and real-world design implications for voltage regulation under surge and temperature variation.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a specified test current IZT of 50 mA and dynamic impedance ZZT of 5.0 Ω at that point. Its Zener voltage is measured 40 ±10 ms after DC current application at TL = 25 °C, per Note 1 in the datasheet.
The SMBG5361A/TR13 exhibits low leakage-maximum IR of 0.5 µA at VR = 19.4 V-and maintains stable regulation across wide current ranges due to minimal voltage drift versus current. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling reliable operation with modest PCB copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±10% at IZT = 50 mA - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management on PCB to sustain full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.0 Ω at IZT = 50 mA - determines output voltage stability under load current variation |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 19.4 V - ensures low quiescent power loss in standby clamping applications |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Thermal Resistance RθJL | 25 °C/W - enables direct thermal path to PCB lead for efficient heat transfer |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 4.1 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without failure |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; anode and cathode terminals are exposed on opposite sides of the molded epoxy body. Leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for reverse-bias operation | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated rail; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; connected to higher-potential side; holds voltage at VZ above anode when conducting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N53xxB-equivalent performance | Identical electrical specs and test methods to legacy through-hole 1N5361B, enabling drop-in replacement in upgraded layouts |
| Gull-wing lead geometry | Enables visual solder joint inspection and reduces tombstoning risk during reflow on FR4 boards |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required before assembly-reduces handling cost and avoids bake-out delays |
| High surge current rating | 4.1 A non-repetitive peak allows robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 level 3 surges without external series limiting |
| Stable VZ vs. temperature | Low TCZ (typical < 0.07 %/°C for 27 V part) minimizes drift in precision reference applications |
Applications
| DC Power Rail Clamping | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5361B | Same VZ (27 V), ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), 50 mA IZT, but axial T-18 package | Requires through-hole mounting and board space; lacks gull-wing visibility and SMT compatibility | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments is required |
| SMBJ5361A | Same VZ (27 V), ±10% tolerance, DO-214AA J-bend package; identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W same, RθJL not specified) | Lower profile than SMBG but less accessible solder joints; slightly reduced surge margin due to smaller thermal mass | Select when board height is constrained and J-bend footprint matches existing layout, accepting minor thermal trade-off |
Compared with SMBG5361A/TR13, 1N5361B offers tighter tolerance but demands through-hole assembly, while SMBJ5361A fits ultra-low-profile designs but sacrifices solder joint inspectability and long-term thermal cycling reliability inherent to gull-wing leads.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5361A/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5361A/TR13 denotes ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning the actual VZ falls between 24.3 V and 29.7 V when measured at IZT = 50 mA and TL = 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet.
Does SMBG5361A/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5361A/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 rating, so it does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow. The device may be stored and assembled directly from standard ambient conditions, reducing manufacturing overhead.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5361A/TR13?
SMBG5361A/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 4.1 A, defined as an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 and supports IEC 61000-4-5 level 3 surge immunity without external current limiting.
Is SMBG5361A/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5361A/TR13 is RoHS compliant, using annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026. The "TR13" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, and the absence of "e3" in the base part number does not affect RoHS status-the datasheet confirms RoHS versions are available and this variant meets the requirement.
How does thermal derating work for SMBG5361A/TR13 on FR4 PCB?
When mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and recommended pad layout, SMBG5361A/TR13 delivers 5.0 W only if lead temperature TL stays below 25 °C. Above that, power must be linearly derated at 55.6 mW/°C (1 W per 18 °C), reaching zero at TL = 125 °C per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
