Product details
Overview
SMBG5370B/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 56 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 20 mA test current, and 35 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT; used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection, and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5370B/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5370B/TR13 pinout, SMBG5370B/TR13 application, or SMBG5370B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (280 A), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with tightly controlled VZ = 56 V at IZT = 20 mA, exhibiting low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 35 Ω) and minimal voltage drift over temperature (−65 to +150 °C junction range). Its DO-215AA gull-wing package enables visible solder joints and supports high-density PCB layouts.
The SMBG5370B/TR13 delivers stable regulation across wide operating currents (IZK = 1.0 mA knee point, IZM = 280 mA max DC current) and withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surges up to 280 A, meeting MIL-STD-750 ESD robustness requirements without external protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% at 20 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for feedback or protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management on FR4 board with recommended footprint |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω at 20 mA - ensures low output impedance and minimal voltage variation under load changes |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 280 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - provides transient overvoltage immunity without derating |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted per spec |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at 42.6 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; establishes polarity for reverse-bias operation |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; carries regulated voltage referenced to anode; must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5370B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| Gull-wing lead form | Visible solder joints and automated optical inspection compatibility - improves manufacturing yield |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - reduces handling cost and eliminates bake-out before reflow |
| RoHS-compliant finish | Matte-tin plating (e3) - meets EU directive and avoids lead-based solder compatibility issues |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5370B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM specs; no gull-wing geometry | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT lines | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual prototyping is required |
| SMBJ5370B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs but higher RθJA (100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W); different pad layout | Lower thermal performance on standard FR4; may require larger copper pour for 5 W dissipation | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint is fixed and thermal margin allows |
Compared with SMBG5370B/TR13, 1N5370B offers identical regulation performance but mandates through-hole assembly, while SMBJ5370B fits J-bend footprints but demands greater PCB thermal design effort to sustain full 5 W operation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5370B/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5370B/TR13 specifies a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning the measured VZ at 20 mA falls between 53.2 V and 58.8 V. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test conditions and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 to +150 °C. The SMBG5370B/TR13 maintains this specification without requiring derating at elevated ambient temperatures when mounted per recommended footprint.
Does SMBG5370B/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5370B/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry packing or baking prior to reflow. This eliminates process steps and cost associated with moisture-sensitive handling, making SMBG5370B/TR13 suitable for high-volume SMT production lines without special humidity controls.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for SMBG5370B/TR13?
The maximum regulator current (IZM) for SMBG5370B/TR13 is 280 mA at TL < 25 °C, calculated per Note 3 in the datasheet using P/VZM (5.0 W ÷ 58.8 V). At higher lead temperatures, IZM must be reduced per the derating curve in Figure 1. This value reflects the device's ability to sustain full 5 W dissipation when properly heatsunk to PCB copper, not ambient-rated operation.
How does SMBG5370B/TR13 compare to the axial-leaded 1N5370B?
SMBG5370B/TR13 is electrically identical to 1N5370B in all key parameters-VZ, IZT, ZZT, IZM, and IR-but uses a DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package instead of the T-18 axial-leaded case. The SMBG5370B/TR13 supports automated placement and reflow, whereas 1N5370B requires through-hole insertion. Both share the same ±5% tolerance and 5 W rating.
Is SMBG5370B/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5370B/TR13 is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" marking variant (e.g., SMBG5370Be3) and confirmed in the datasheet's features and mechanical sections. It uses annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits. The TR13 tape-and-reel packaging also complies with RoHS shipping requirements.
