Product details
Overview
SMBG5371A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 60 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), 20 mA test current (IZT), and 40 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT. It regulates voltage in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5371A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5371A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5371A/TR13 application, or SMBG5371A/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DO-215AA gull-wing package details, thermal derating behavior, and validated alternative parts for voltage reference and clamping designs.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across wide current (20 mA IZT to 79 mA IZM) and temperature (-65 °C to +150 °C) ranges. Its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 5 W dissipation with proper PCB copper heatsinking.
The SMBG5371A/TR13 exhibits low dynamic impedance (40 Ω at 20 mA), minimal voltage drift versus current, and high surge capability (350 A non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for transient suppression and precision regulation where ±10% VZ tolerance is acceptable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 60 V ±10% - Stable regulation point at 20 mA; high-end tolerance limit is 66 V for worst-case IZM calculation. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 20 mA - Operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified; defines baseline bias for feedback loop design. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω - Small-signal AC resistance in breakdown; determines output voltage ripple rejection under varying load. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 79 mA - Maximum DC current at 25 °C ambient with adequate heatsinking; derived from P = VZM × IZM. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 350 A - Non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine peak; supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure. |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +150 °C - Enables operation in extended industrial environments including automotive under-hood zones. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - Confirms efficient heat transfer to PCB lead; requires minimum 1 oz Cu pad layout per datasheet Figure 1. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; polarity must be observed-cathode (banded end) is positive during regulation. Weight: 0.1 g. Moisture sensitivity level: IPC/JEDEC Level 1 (no dry pack required).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased terminal during Zener operation | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path); forms current sink when cathode is biased higher. |
| Cathode | Zener voltage reference terminal | Banded end; connected to regulated node (e.g., feedback divider tap); maintains 60 V relative to anode under breakdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5371B equivalent | Identical electrical characteristics and testing to through-hole 1N5371B; enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs with board rework. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets lead-free soldering requirements (260 °C, 10 s); compatible with standard reflow profiles without whisker risk. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry-pack or baking required before assembly; reduces manufacturing overhead and avoids moisture-induced popcorning. |
| Gull-wing leads | Enables visual solder joint inspection; improves reliability verification in automated optical inspection (AOI) systems. |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Regulation | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5371B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM specs; same ±10% tolerance. | Requires axial-leaded PCB footprint; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly is mandated or thermal mass from leads improves transient handling. |
| SMBG5371B | Same DO-215AA package but ±5% VZ tolerance; lower ZZT (35 Ω vs. 40 Ω); identical IZT (20 mA) and IZM (79 mA). | Higher precision regulation needed for tighter feedback loops; slightly better ripple rejection. | Choose when ±5% VZ tolerance is required and 5 Ω lower dynamic impedance improves stability margin. |
Compared with SMBG5371A/TR13, the 1N5371B offers identical regulation performance in through-hole form, while SMBG5371B provides tighter voltage control and lower impedance for demanding feedback applications-both require no circuit redesign but differ in mounting and tolerance-driven selection criteria.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5371A/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5371A/TR13 denotes ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 54 V and 66 V at 20 mA test current and 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet, where SMBG5371A is explicitly listed with VR = 43 V and IZM = 79 mA.
Does SMBG5371A/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5371A/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1, as stated in the Applications/Benefits section and Mechanical Packaging section of the datasheet. This means it can be stored and assembled without dry packing or baking-even after exposure to ambient humidity-eliminating moisture-related popcorning risks during reflow.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5371A/TR13 at 70 °C ambient?
At 70 °C ambient, SMBG5371A/TR13's power derating follows the curve in Figure 1: 5.0 W at ≤25 °C, linearly decreasing to ~3.3 W at 70 °C. This assumes mounting on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and recommended pad layout; exceeding this requires additional copper area or forced airflow to avoid junction overheating beyond 150 °C.
Is SMBG5371A/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5371A/TR13 uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on gull-wing terminals, as documented in the Mechanical and Packaging section. The "A" suffix does not indicate RoHS status (that is denoted by "e3"), but Microsemi confirms all SMBG53xxA/TR13 parts shipped post-2006 meet RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC with lead content <1000 ppm.
Can SMBG5371A/TR13 replace 1N5371B in existing designs?
Yes-SMBG5371A/TR13 is explicitly stated as the surface-mount equivalent of JEDEC-registered 1N5371B with identical electrical characteristics and testing. While package differs (DO-215AA vs. DO-41), the VZ, IZT, ZZT, IZM, and surge ratings match, enabling direct functional replacement with only footprint adaptation.
