Product details
Overview
SMBG5361BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 27 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), DO-215AA gull-wing package, and maximum Zener current IZM of 50 mA at 25 °C lead temperature - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5361BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5361BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5361BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5361BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (IZSM = 176 A), thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with specified test current IZT = 50 mA and dynamic impedance ZZT = 5.0 Ω at that point. Its Zener knee current IZK is defined at 1.0 mA, where ZZK = 40 Ω.
Thermal performance is characterized by junction-to-lead resistance of 25 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 90 °C/W on FR4 with recommended footprint. It withstands solder reflow up to 260 °C for 10 s and exhibits moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020B - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at IZT = 50 mA - defines stable regulation point under typical operating current |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management when lead temperature exceeds 25 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.0 Ω at IZT = 50 mA - low impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation with load current changes |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 176 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 20.1 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; terminals are anode (unbanded end) and cathode (banded end); polarity must be observed - device conducts in reverse bias during regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference for Zener voltage drop |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded terminal; voltage at this node is clamped to VZ above anode potential during breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N53xxB equivalent | Fully compatible with legacy 1N5361B designs - same electrical specs and test methods |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Solderable per MIL-STD-750 method 2026; eliminates Pb-based finishes while maintaining reliability |
| Gull-wing lead form | Enables visual solder joint inspection and reduces tombstoning risk on fine-pitch PCBs |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack or baking required before reflow - simplifies SMT line handling and inventory control |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulates error amplifier reference in isolated flyback converter feedback network. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference diode providing stable 27 V reference for optocoupler bias and TL431-like comparator input. Use Value: Tight ±5% VZ tolerance and low 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance maintain <±1% output voltage regulation across line/load variations. |
Use Scenario: Clamps and references analog sensor output (e.g., 4–20 mA transmitter) before ADC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Overvoltage protector and precision DC reference for ratiometric signal scaling. Use Value: 176 A surge rating absorbs ESD events per MIL-STD-750 method 1020; 0.5 µA IR prevents loading of high-Z sensor outputs. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Programmable Logic Controller Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller GPIO pins from load-dump transients in 12 V vehicle systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed between protected line and chassis ground. Use Value: 27 V standoff allows normal 13.5–14.5 V operation while clamping >28 V spikes; DO-215AA gull-wing aids automated optical inspection. |
Use Scenario: Shields PLC digital input circuitry from field-wiring induced surges in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamp in multi-stage protection network upstream of TVS diode and series resistor. Use Value: 5 W continuous dissipation handles sustained overvoltages; RθJL = 25 °C/W enables reliable thermal coupling to copper pour on industrial PCBs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5361B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM specs; non-RoHS (Sn/Pb plating) | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual repair is required; not suitable for new SMT-only boards |
| SMBJ5361B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs; slightly higher RθJA (100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W) | Lower profile but less visible solder joints; marginally reduced thermal performance on FR4 | Prefer when board space constraints favor J-bend geometry; verify thermal margin with layout-specific simulation |
Compared with SMBG5361BE3/TR13, 1N5361B requires through-hole mounting and lacks RoHS compliance, while SMBJ5361B offers identical regulation performance in a different surface-mount form factor with modest thermal trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test condition for SMBG5361BE3/TR13?
The SMBG5361BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, denoted by the "B" suffix. VZ is specified as 27 V measured at TL = 25 °C with a test current IZT of 50 mA, per Microsemi T4-LDS-0246-1 Rev. 1. The measurement is performed 40 ±10 ms after applying DC current to avoid thermal drift effects.
Does SMBG5361BE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5361BE3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It carries IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking. This simplifies handling in SMT lines and eliminates pre-reflow bake cycles.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5361BE3/TR13 and its waveform definition?
The SMBG5361BE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive Zener surge current (IZSM) of 176 A. This value is defined for a single half-sine wave pulse of 8.3 ms duration, per Microsemi's characterization methodology in T4-LDS-0246-1. It reflects capability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or failure.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5361BE3/TR13 affect PCB layout decisions?
SMBG5361BE3/TR13 has RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 with recommended footprint. To maintain safe junction temperature, designers must provide adequate copper area connected to the leads - especially the cathode - and avoid excessive ambient temperature rise. Thermal derating curves in Figure 1 guide power reduction above 25 °C lead temperature.
Is SMBG5361BE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5361BE3/TR13 is qualified for lead-free reflow with peak solder temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 method 2026. Its RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating ensures reliable wetting and intermetallic formation under standard JEDEC J-STD-020 profiles.
