Product details
Overview
SMBG5370CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 56 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), DO-215AA gull-wing package, and maximum regulator current of 20 mA at 25 °C - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5370CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5370CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5370CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5370CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), surge current rating (IZSM = 280 A), moisture sensitivity level (MSL Level 1), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across wide current (20 mA IZM) and temperature (–65 to +150 °C) ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (ZZK = 35 Ω @ 1.0 mA) ensures minimal voltage variation under load transients.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package enables visible solder joints and supports high-density PCB layouts. With RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu), it requires no dry pack per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B MSL Level 1 classification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±2% at IZT = 20 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load without heatsink |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 20 mA - determines usable current range before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZK) | 35 Ω @ 1.0 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal ripple conditions |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 280 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - defines transient overvoltage clamping capability |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables accurate junction temperature estimation from lead temperature |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Level 1 - allows unlimited floor life; no baking required prior to reflow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5370B | Same VZ (56 V), ±5% tolerance, Sn/Pb plating, axial T-18 package | Requires through-hole assembly; not suitable for high-density SMT designs | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or Pb-based solder is required |
| SMBJ5370B | Same VZ (56 V), ±5% tolerance, DO-214AA J-bend package, identical electrical specs | Different footprint and thermal profile (RθJA differs); no gull-wing visual inspection benefit | Select when existing DO-214AA layout reuse is prioritized over AOI capability |
Compared with SMBG5370CE3/TR13, 1N5370B offers through-hole mounting but lacks RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 handling, while SMBJ5370B retains SMT compatibility but sacrifices gull-wing solder joint visibility and uses J-bend leads incompatible with standard SMBG footprints.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5370CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5370CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured VZ falls within 54.88 V to 57.12 V at IZT = 20 mA and TL = 25 °C. This tighter tolerance supports higher-accuracy regulation than ±5% (B suffix) or ±10% (A suffix) variants of the SMBG5370 series.
Does SMBG5370CE3/TR13 require baking before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5370CE3/TR13 does not require baking before reflow. It carries an IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of Level 1, meaning it has unlimited floor life and can be placed directly into reflow without preconditioning or dry-pack storage - reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5370CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5370CE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak Zener surge current (IZSM) of 280 A, specified for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This value reflects its ability to absorb transient energy in overvoltage protection applications without degradation, provided the surge interval allows sufficient thermal recovery.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5370CE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA package of SMBG5370CE3/TR13 features gull-wing leads that extend outward and downward, enabling visual solder joint inspection and improved coplanarity control. In contrast, DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5370B) uses J-bend leads that curve under the body - making AOI more difficult and altering thermal resistance and PCB footprint requirements.
Is SMBG5370CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5370CE3/TR13 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow profiles. Its matte-tin (e3) plating meets RoHS requirements and is rated for solder temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. The device's thermal limits (TJ = –65 to +150 °C) and package construction ensure reliability under standard JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant reflow cycles.
