Product details
Overview
SMBG5368CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 47 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), 25 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA test current, and 100 mA maximum regulator current. It operates in the DO-215AA gull-wing package and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5368CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5368CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5368CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5368CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (210 A), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference diode operating in reverse breakdown, with specified Zener voltage measured at 25 mA (IZT) and characterized by low dynamic impedance (25 Ω) and tight ±2% voltage tolerance. Its thermal design supports 5 W dissipation at lead temperature ≤25 °C, with derating to 1.38 W at ambient temperature under standard FR4 mounting.
The SMBG5368CE3/TR13 exhibits minimal voltage variation versus current due to low ZZT, withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 210 A, and maintains stable regulation across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range without dry-pack requirements (MSL 1).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±2% at 25 mA - precise reference for feedback networks requiring tight regulation tolerance. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL ≤25 °C - enables high-current regulation with adequate heat sinking on PCB leads. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω at IZT = 25 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load current variations. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 100 mA - defines upper DC current limit before exceeding rated power at specified VZ. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 210 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - provides robust transient overvoltage clamping capability. |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 25 °C/W - allows accurate thermal modeling when mounted with recommended footprint on FR4. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL 1 - eliminates bake-out requirement prior to reflow soldering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5368B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM; non-RoHS (Sn/Pb) plating. | Requires axial-leaded PCB footprint and wave soldering; not suitable for high-density SMT lines. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or cost-sensitive non-RoHS production is required. |
| SMBG5368BE3/TR13 | Same DO-215AA package and electrical specs, but ±5% tolerance (B suffix) instead of ±2% (C suffix). | Higher VZ uncertainty (±5% vs ±2%) reduces accuracy in precision reference applications. | Select when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized over regulation stability. |
Compared with SMBG5368CE3/TR13, the 1N5368B offers identical regulation performance but mandates through-hole assembly, while SMBG5368BE3/TR13 trades ±2% voltage accuracy for lower unit cost-making the C-suffix version optimal for high-precision SMT power management where reference stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5368CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5368CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls within 46.06 V to 47.94 V when measured at 25 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. This tight tolerance supports precision regulation in feedback and reference applications where voltage accuracy directly impacts system performance.
Does SMBG5368CE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5368CE3/TR13 does not require dry packing prior to reflow soldering. It is rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions (<30 °C / 60% RH) without baking. This eliminates pre-reflow bake cycles and simplifies manufacturing logistics for high-volume SMT assembly.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5368CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5368CE3/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W continuous power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) ≤25 °C. When mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint, its usable power drops to 1.38 W at 25 °C ambient temperature due to higher thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (90 °C/W). Derating curves apply above 25 °C.
How does the dynamic impedance of SMBG5368CE3/TR13 affect regulation stability?
The SMBG5368CE3/TR13 has a dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 25 Ω at 25 mA test current. This low value means the Zener voltage changes only ~25 mV per 1 mA change in current, minimizing output voltage drift under varying load conditions. In feedback loops, this directly improves regulation accuracy and transient response compared to higher-ZZT alternatives.
Is SMBG5368CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5368CE3/TR13 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow profiles. Its matte-tin (e3) plating meets J-STD-006 requirements and supports peak solder temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. The device's thermal resistance and package construction are qualified for standard JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow cycles without degradation of Zener characteristics or mechanical integrity.
