Product details
Overview
SMBG5374AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 75 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 620 A (8.3 ms half-sine), and is used in overvoltage protection and precision reference circuits in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5374AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5374AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5374AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5374AE3/TR13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, RoHS-compliant packaging details, and direct alternative part comparisons for reliable circuit design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a specified test current (IZT) of 20 mA and dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 45 Ω at that point. Its Zener voltage is measured 40 ±10 ms after DC current application at TL = 25 °C, per JEDEC-standard test methodology.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 90 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4 with recommended footprint). Power dissipation is rated at 5.0 W only when lead temperature (TL) remains below 25 °C; derating applies above that threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V ±10% - stable regulation point at IZT = 20 mA, suitable for 72–78 V system clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W @ TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management on PCB to sustain full rating |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 620 mA - maximum continuous DC current before exceeding 5 W at VZ = 75 V × 1.1 |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 620 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events without failure |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 45 Ω @ 20 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ VR = 54 V - negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; anode and cathode terminals are accessible via solderable gull-wing leads. Moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required prior to assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference/ground node in Zener regulator configuration | Connected to lower-potential side; must be routed with adequate copper area for thermal conduction |
| Cathode | Regulated output node (banded end) | Connected to protected rail; polarity reversal causes forward conduction and loss of regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5374B equivalence | Fully compatible with legacy 1N5374B designs - identical electrical specs and test methods |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | e3 suffix confirms lead-free finish meeting IPC-J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture handling |
| Gull-wing lead form | Enables visual solder joint inspection and improves mechanical reliability vs. J-bend packages |
| High surge current capability | 620 A non-repetitive surge rating enables use in lightning/surge-prone industrial interfaces |
| Low dynamic impedance | 45 Ω at 20 mA ensures <±0.5 V regulation shift across typical load-current variations |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Protection | DC Bus Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48 V DC input stage in programmable logic controller (PLC) power module exposed to load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as shunt overvoltage clamp, triggered when bus exceeds 75 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5374B | Same Zener voltage (75 V), ±10%, but axial T-18 package; no RoHS compliance (Sn/Pb plating) | Requires through-hole mounting and dry pack for moisture control; unsuitable for high-density SMT lines | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or cost-sensitive non-RoHS production is required |
| SMBJ5374B | Identical electrical specs, but DO-214AA J-bend package; RθJA = 100 °C/W (vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG) | Lower thermal efficiency on FR4; requires larger pad area to match SMBG5374AE3/TR13's 5 W capability | Select when existing J-bend footprint is fixed and thermal margin allows 10% power derating |
Compared with SMBG5374AE3/TR13, 1N5374B offers identical regulation but lacks SMT compatibility and RoHS compliance, while SMBJ5374B matches function but demands greater PCB thermal design effort to sustain full 5 W operation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5374AE3/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5374AE3/TR13 denotes ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its regulated voltage falls between 67.5 V and 82.5 V at IZT = 20 mA and TL = 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet, and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is SMBG5374AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5374AE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" suffix in its part number. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - no dry pack required prior to reflow.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for SMBG5374AE3/TR13?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for SMBG5374AE3/TR13 is 620 mA, calculated per Note 3 on page 3 of the datasheet using IZM = P/VZM, where P = 5.0 W and VZM = 75 V × 1.1 = 82.5 V. This rating assumes TL ≤ 25 °C and proper thermal management on the PCB.
Can SMBG5374AE3/TR13 replace 1N5374B in existing designs?
SMBG5374AE3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N5374B per the datasheet's opening statement, but it is not a drop-in replacement due to package differences: SMBG5374AE3/TR13 uses DO-215AA gull-wing SMT, while 1N5374B uses axial T-18. PCB layout and assembly process must be updated accordingly.
What is the surge current rating for SMBG5374AE3/TR13?
SMBG5374AE3/TR13 has a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) rating of 620 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This value is validated per JEDEC test conditions and reflects capability under standardized transient stress.
