Product details
Overview
SMBG5368AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 47 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), 25 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA test current, and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5368AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5368AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5368AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5368AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, surge current rating (210 A), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 47 V Zener voltage is specified at 25 mA (IZT), with 25 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) measured at 10% AC modulation superimposed on IZT.
The SMBG5368AE3/TR13 features a moisture sensitivity level 1 rating per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, eliminating dry-pack requirements. Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 with recommended footprint, supporting reliable operation from –65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±10% - stable regulation point at 25 mA, suitable for 48 V rail monitoring and clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W @ TL < 25 °C - supports high-energy transient suppression when heatsinked |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω @ IZT = 25 mA - low voltage variation under load changes, critical for precision references |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 210 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges without failure |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJL = 25 °C/W - allows direct PCB copper pour heat transfer to improve long-term reliability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5368BRLG | Same 47 V ±10%, 5 W rating, but in axial DO-41 package; RθJA = 120 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; less suitable for high-density SMT production | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher ambient temperature derating margin is needed |
| SMBJ5368B | Same electrical specs, but in DO-214AA (J-bend) package; RθJL = 30 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W | Lower thermal performance limits continuous power in compact layouts; no gull-wing visual inspection advantage | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint reuse is prioritized over thermal efficiency or AOI capability |
Compared with SMBG5368AE3/TR13, 1N5368BRLG offers identical regulation but requires board redesign for axial mounting, while SMBJ5368B retains SMT compatibility at the cost of 20% higher thermal resistance and reduced solder-joint visibility.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5368AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5368AE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±10%, indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 47 V Zener voltage falls within 42.3 V to 51.7 V at 25 mA test current and 25 °C junction temperature, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet.
Does SMBG5368AE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5368AE3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It carries a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow without baking - a key advantage for high-volume manufacturing.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5368AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5368AE3/TR13 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 210 A, defined as an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet and supports robust protection against IEC 61000-4-5 surges.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5368AE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA package of SMBG5368AE3/TR13 uses gull-wing leads for visible solder joint inspection and lower profile mounting, whereas DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5368B) employs J-bend leads. DO-215AA also achieves better thermal performance with RθJL = 25 °C/W versus 30 °C/W for DO-214AA, improving power handling in compact layouts.
Is SMBG5368AE3/TR13 compatible with JEDEC 1N5368B?
Yes, SMBG5368AE3/TR13 is fully equivalent to JEDEC registered 1N5368B in electrical characteristics, testing, and performance. The datasheet explicitly states that the SMBG5333B–SMBG5388B series provides identical specifications to 1N5333–1N5388B, enabling direct functional replacement in legacy designs.
