Product details
Overview
SMBG5372AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 62 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges, supports surge currents up to 400 A (8.3 ms half-sine), and is used in overvoltage protection circuits for industrial power supplies and DC bus clamping.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5372AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5372AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5372AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5372AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current rating, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), RoHS compliance (e3), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13) for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with a specified test current (IZT) of 20 mA and dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 42 Ω at that point. Its knee impedance (ZZK) is 76 Ω at 1.0 mA, indicating stable regulation near the breakdown threshold.
The SMBG5372AE3/TR13 is rated for junction temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C, has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020B, and requires no dry pack. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) is 90 °C/W on FR4 with recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±10% - precise clamping reference for 60–68 V DC rails |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W @ TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management above ambient |
| Test Current (IZT) | 20 mA - standard bias point for VZ measurement and impedance characterization |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 42 Ω @ 20 mA - low impedance ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 400 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltages in power systems |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ 47.1 V - negligible standby current in high-impedance protection nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper when lead-mounted |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; two-terminal unidirectional Zener diode requiring correct polarity orientation during placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-voltage side | Connected to ground or lower-potential node in clamp configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / high-voltage side | Connected to protected rail; banded end must be at higher potential than anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5372B equivalent | Direct electrical and mechanical replacement for legacy axial 1N5372B in space-constrained designs |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3) | Lead-free solder compatibility and MIL-STD-750 method 2026 solderability assurance |
| Gull-wing leads (DO-215AA) | Visible solder joints enable AOI inspection and reduce tombstoning risk in reflow |
| MSL Level 1 rating | No dry pack or baking required before SMT assembly - simplifies manufacturing flow |
| High IZM (5.1 mA) | Supports stable regulation at low quiescent current while maintaining voltage accuracy |
Applications
| DC Power Rail Clamping | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5372B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, and ZZT; no RoHS (Sn/Pb) plating | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy board repair or mixed-technology assembly is required |
| SMBJ5372 | J-bend DO-214AA package; same VZ and PD; RθJA = 100 °C/W (vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG) | Higher thermal resistance limits sustained power handling on small pads | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where footprint compatibility with SMBJ series is prioritized |
Compared with SMBG5372AE3/TR13, the 1N5372B offers identical regulation but lacks SMT compatibility and RoHS compliance, while the SMBJ5372 trades slightly lower thermal performance for broader industry footprint adoption - making SMBG5372AE3/TR13 optimal for new high-reliability SMT designs demanding visible solder joints and MSL Level 1 handling.
