Product details
Overview
SMBG5369C/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 51 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), DO-215AA gull-wing package, 25 mA test current, and 27 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT; used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5369C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5369C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5369C/TR13 application, or SMBG5369C/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC-compliant replacement context, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating details, and real-world design implications for high-surge industrial power rails.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown with minimal voltage variation across 10–100 mA operating current. Its 27 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA ensures stable regulation under load transients, while the 25 °C junction temperature coefficient supports predictable drift in ambient ranges up to +150 °C.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package enables visible solder joints and achieves RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu) and RθJL = 25 °C/W to lead-critical for thermal management in compact 5 W power regulation designs where heat sinking is constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±2% at 25 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for feedback or protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal design attention above 25 °C per derating curve |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 27 Ω at 25 mA - low impedance maintains regulation stability during current ripple |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 230 mA - sets absolute DC current limit before thermal runaway at rated power |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 230 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltages without degradation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at 40.8 V - negligible standby loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; banded end must be held positive relative to anode for proper Zener operation. Weight: 0.1 g. Moisture sensitivity level: IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 (no dry pack required).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-biased terminal | Connected to regulated node or voltage reference point; polarity critical for breakdown conduction |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/ground terminal | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5369B equivalent | Identical electrical characteristics and testing to through-hole 1N5369B - enables drop-in redesign migration |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture classification - eliminates dry-pack requirement and simplifies handling |
| Gull-wing lead form | Enables visual solder joint inspection and reliable reflow yield on standard SMT lines |
| High surge capability | 230 A non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms) - protects downstream circuitry from lightning-induced or inductive-switching transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5369B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and PD specs; same ±2% tolerance. | Requires axial-leaded PCB footprint and wave soldering; not suitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is preferred over automated SMT placement. |
| SMBJ5369C | Same DO-214AA (J-bend) package; identical electrical specs but different mechanical form factor and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W). | Lower thermal performance on FR4 board; may require larger copper area for equivalent power handling. | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint reuse is prioritized over optimal thermal efficiency. |
Compared with SMBG5369C/TR13, 1N5369B offers identical regulation performance in through-hole format but sacrifices SMT manufacturability, while SMBJ5369C retains surface-mount compatibility at the cost of higher thermal resistance-making SMBG5369C/TR13 optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding 5 W regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for SMBG5369C/TR13?
The SMBG5369C/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with ±2% tolerance (denoted by the "C" suffix) and is specified at a test current (IZT) of 25 mA. This tight tolerance ensures consistent regulation accuracy across production lots, and the 25 mA test point reflects typical operating conditions for stable dynamic impedance measurement in feedback and clamp applications.
Is SMBG5369C/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5369C/TR13 uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750, method 2026, and carries the "e3" marking designation. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, meaning no dry-pack requirement is needed prior to reflow soldering-reducing handling complexity and shelf-life constraints.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5369C/TR13?
The SMBG5369C/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 230 A with an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per Microsemi's test methodology and enables reliable protection against common-mode transients in 48 V and 60 V industrial power rails without degradation under single-event stress.
How does thermal resistance affect SMBG5369C/TR13 power handling on a PCB?
SMBG5369C/TR13 has RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and recommended pad layout. At ambient 25 °C, full 5 W dissipation raises junction temperature to 25 + (5 × 90) = 475 °C-exceeding its 150 °C limit. Therefore, actual usable power must follow the derating curve: e.g., only ~1.38 W is sustainable at TA = 25 °C unless heatsinking improves RθJA.
Can SMBG5369C/TR13 replace 1N5369B in existing designs?
Yes, SMBG5369C/TR13 is electrically identical to 1N5369B per Microsemi documentation and serves as a surface-mount drop-in replacement for the through-hole 1N5369B in new designs. However, mechanical redesign is required due to DO-215AA vs. DO-41 footprints-no PCB changes are needed only if migrating from SMBJ5369C or other DO-215AA variants.
