Product details
Overview
SMBG5368BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 47 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 25 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA test current, and 2.7 A maximum Zener surge current for 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. It operates in power regulation and overvoltage protection circuits in industrial DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5368BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5368BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5368BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5368BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current capability (2.7 A), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating for lead-free assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision voltage reference and shunt regulator in constant-voltage applications, operating in reverse breakdown with stable VZ across 25 mA to 1.38 W (at TA = 25 °C) or 5.0 W (at TL < 25 °C). Its DO-215AA gull-wing package enables visible solder joints and supports IPC/JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
The SMBG5368BE3/TR13 exhibits minimal voltage variation versus current due to low dynamic impedance (25 Ω at IZT = 25 mA) and maintains regulation over -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Reverse leakage is limited to ≤0.5 µA at 33.8 V, supporting low-power standby modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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 ±5%, 5 W rating, but in axial DO-204AL (1N53xx) package with leaded termination | Requires through-hole mounting and manual soldering; not suitable for automated SMT lines | Select when legacy board design mandates axial components or hand-soldered repair scenarios |
| SMBJ5368B | Identical electrical specs but in DO-214AA (J-bend) package; RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W (RθJL) for SMBG5368BE3/TR13 | Lower thermal performance in high-power density layouts; requires larger copper area for equivalent cooling | Choose only if existing footprint uses DO-214AA; otherwise prefer SMBG5368BE3/TR13 for superior thermal management |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5368BE3/TR13?
The 'B' suffix in SMBG5368BE3/TR13 specifies a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At 25 °C and 25 mA test current, the measured VZ falls between 44.65 V and 49.35 V. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC JESD201A stress testing and applies across the full -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Does SMBG5368BE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5368BE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry pack. The DO-215AA epoxy body is void-free and thermosetting, eliminating moisture absorption concerns during standard lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5368BE3/TR13?
SMBG5368BE3/TR13 delivers 5.0 W continuous power dissipation when lead temperature (TL) is maintained below 25 °C. At ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C on FR4 with recommended footprint, derated power is 1.38 W. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling higher power with proper copper pour design.
How does the gull-wing package of SMBG5368BE3/TR13 improve manufacturability?
The DO-215AA gull-wing leads of SMBG5368BE3/TR13 allow automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets and reduce tombstoning risk during reflow. Unlike J-bend packages, gull-wing geometry provides self-centering alignment and mechanical stability on fine-pitch PCBs used in high-density industrial modules.
What surge current waveform is rated for SMBG5368BE3/TR13?
SMBG5368BE3/TR13 is rated for 2.7 A non-repetitive peak surge current using an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, per Note 4 in the datasheet. This rating applies to single-event transients like load dump or inductive switching spikes, and is validated under standardized test conditions with specified thermal preconditioning.
