Product details
Overview
SMBG5366A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 39 V, ±10% tolerance (A-suffix), 30 mA test current (IZT), and 14 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT. It operates in reverse-biased regulation mode, delivers stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature, and is used in power supply overvoltage protection and precision DC rail clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5366A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5366A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5366A/TR13 application, or SMBG5366A/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, maximum surge current (IZSM = 170 A), thermal resistance (RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4), and DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a voltage-reference regulator in reverse breakdown, maintaining stable output across 10–100 mA operating current range with minimal voltage drift versus temperature (−65 to +150 °C junction range). Its low dynamic impedance (14 Ω) ensures tight regulation under transient load changes.
The SMBG5366A/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), matte-tin RoHS-compliant plating, and cathode band polarity marking. It meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity (Method 1020) and withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 170 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±10% - Stable regulation point at 30 mA; high-end limit is 42.9 V for worst-case design margining. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 30 mA - Defined operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified; sets minimum bias requirement for regulation. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 14 Ω - Low AC impedance ensures <0.42 V deviation per 30 mA load step; critical for ripple suppression. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 122 mA - Maximum continuous DC current at TL < 25 °C; derates linearly above 25 °C per Figure 1. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 170 A - Withstands 8.3 ms half-sine transients (e.g., IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3); enables robust input-stage clamping. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 90 °C/W - On FR4 board with recommended pad layout; requires thermal relief design for sustained 5 W operation. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ 31.2 V - Ultra-low leakage below VR ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby modes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package (JEDEC standard), 0.1 g weight, moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| JEDEC 1N53xxB equivalent | Direct electrical and mechanical replacement for legacy through-hole 1N5366B; simplifies SMT migration. |
| Gull-wing lead form | Visible solder joints enable AOI inspection and rework accessibility without X-ray. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No baking or dry-pack handling required-reduces manufacturing overhead and floor-life constraints. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Lead-free finish compatible with Pb-free reflow profiles (260 °C/10 s max); supports global compliance mandates. |
| High surge endurance | 170 A non-repetitive surge rating allows single-device clamping of industrial-level transients. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5366B | Same VZ (39 V), ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), higher IZT (30 mA), lower ZZT (14 Ω), axial T-18 package. | Through-hole mounting only; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required. |
| SMBJ5366A | Identical VZ and tolerance, but DO-214AA J-bend package; RθJA = 100 °C/W (vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG5366A/TR13). | Lower thermal performance on same PCB; may require larger copper area for equivalent power handling. | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint reuse is prioritized over optimal thermal efficiency. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5366A/TR13?
The SMBG5366A/TR13 has a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its regulated voltage falls between 35.1 V and 42.9 V at 30 mA test current. This A-suffix designation is confirmed in the part nomenclature table and electrical characteristics page of the Microsemi datasheet T4-LDS-0246-1. The tolerance directly impacts worst-case design margins in overvoltage protection circuits using SMBG5366A/TR13.
Does SMBG5366A/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5366A/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it can be stored and assembled without dry packing or baking. This is explicitly stated in the "MECHANICAL and PACKAGING" section of the datasheet and verified by its "Level 1" classification. Engineers using SMBG5366A/TR13 avoid moisture-related popcorning risks and simplify factory handling.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5366A/TR13?
The SMBG5366A/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 170 A, defined for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This value is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Microsemi datasheet T4-LDS-0246-1. Designers rely on this rating when sizing SMBG5366A/TR13 for IEC 61000-4-5 compliant surge protection stages.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5366A/TR13 compare to similar Zeners?
SMBG5366A/TR13 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 90 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with the recommended footprint, which is lower than SMBJ5366A (100 °C/W) and significantly better than axial 1N5366B (200+ °C/W). This 10 °C/W advantage improves power dissipation headroom and reduces thermal derating in compact designs using SMBG5366A/TR13.
Is SMBG5366A/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5366A/TR13 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, as confirmed in the "FEATURES" and "MECHANICAL and PACKAGING" sections of the datasheet. The "TR13" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, and the absence of "e3" in the base part number does not affect RoHS status-the device meets Directive 2011/65/EU. This ensures SMBG5366A/TR13 is suitable for export-controlled and environmentally regulated applications.
