Product details
Overview
SMBG5368C/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 2.7 A maximum Zener current under thermal-limited conditions. It regulates voltage in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5368C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5368C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5368C/TR13 application, or SMBG5368C/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DO-215AA gull-wing package details, JEDEC 1N5368B-compliant performance, and real-world design guidance for voltage reference and clamping use cases.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision shunt regulator in reverse-biased breakdown mode, maintaining stable 47 V output across 10–200 mA operating current range with minimal voltage drift versus temperature (−65 °C to +150 °C junction). Its 25 Ω dynamic impedance ensures tight regulation under varying load conditions.
The SMBG5368C/TR13 uses a void-free UL94V-0 epoxy package with gull-wing leads, enabling visible solder joints and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required. Thermal resistance is 25 °C/W junction-to-lead and 90 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±2% at 25 mA - precise reference for feedback networks requiring tight tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - supports high-energy transient suppression without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω at IZT = 25 mA - low AC impedance enables stable regulation under ripple-loaded conditions |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 33.8 V - ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 210 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive lightning-induced transients in industrial interfaces |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour for passive heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode (unbanded end) and cathode (banded end); polarity must be observed during placement to ensure correct reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current sink terminal in forward bias; reference node in reverse-bias regulation | Connected to lower-potential rail (e.g., ground or return path) in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode | Current source terminal in reverse breakdown; regulated output node | Connected to voltage node requiring stabilization (e.g., feedback divider tap or protected IC input) |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5368BRLG | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical 47 V ±2%, 5 W rating, but RθJA = 120 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG5368C/TR13 | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT production | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required |
| SMBJ5368C | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs but 35 Ω ZZT (vs. 25 Ω) and 200 A IZSM (vs. 210 A) | Lower thermal performance due to higher RθJL (30 °C/W); less effective in thermally constrained layouts | Select only if DO-214AA footprint compatibility is mandatory and 10% ZZT degradation is acceptable |
Compared with 1N5368BRLG and SMBJ5368C, SMBG5368C/TR13 delivers superior thermal performance (25 °C/W RθJL), tighter ZZT, and gull-wing manufacturability-making it optimal for automated SMT lines targeting high-reliability industrial power systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5368C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in SMBG5368C/TR13 denotes ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 25 mA test current, meaning the actual VZ falls within 46.06 V to 47.94 V at 25 °C. This tighter tolerance than ±5% (B suffix) or ±10% (A suffix) variants supports precision feedback and reference applications where output accuracy is critical.
Does SMBG5368C/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5368C/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, confirmed by its plastic encapsulation and void-free epoxy body. It may be stored and processed directly without baking or dry pack, simplifying manufacturing flow and reducing handling cost versus MS level 2+ devices.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for SMBG5368C/TR13 at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient on FR4 with recommended footprint, SMBG5368C/TR13's power derating curve limits dissipation to ~3.3 W. Using IZM = P/VZM with VZM = 47.94 V (high-end tolerance), maximum continuous current is approximately 69 mA-well below its 2.7 A rated IZM at 25 °C.
Is SMBG5368C/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5368C/TR13 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, fully supporting standard JEDEC J-STD-020 Class 3 lead-free reflow profiles without solderability degradation or intermetallic formation issues.
How does the gull-wing lead frame of SMBG5368C/TR13 improve manufacturability?
The gull-wing geometry of SMBG5368C/TR13 provides self-centering during reflow, reduces tombstoning on asymmetric pads, and allows 100% optical inspection of solder fillets-critical for automotive and industrial products requiring zero-defect assembly. Its DO-215AA footprint also enables higher board density than axial or DO-214AA alternatives.
