Product details
Overview
SMBG5378B/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 100 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 90 Ω dynamic impedance at 12 mA test current, and maximum regulator current of 47.5 mA at 25 °C. It operates in the DO-215AA gull-wing package and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5378B/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5378B/TR13 pinout, SMBG5378B/TR13 application, or SMBG5378B/TR13 equivalent, key selection factors include its 100 V Zener voltage, 5 W power rating at lead temperature <25 °C, 90 Ω Zener impedance, 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 72 V, and DO-215AA thermal resistance of 25 °C/W junction-to-lead.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse breakdown, maintaining stable 100 V regulation across 12 mA test current (IZT) and up to 47.5 mA maximum DC current (IZM). Its 90 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 0.5 µA reverse leakage (IR) at VR = 72 V support tight regulation under varying load conditions.
The SMBG5378B/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), gull-wing matte-tin terminals per MIL-STD-750 method 2026, and achieves IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required. Cathode polarity is marked by a band; operation requires cathode positive relative to anode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% at IZT = 12 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via PCB copper pour or heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω at IZT = 12 mA - low impedance ensures minimal voltage shift under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 72 V - enables low-power standby operation without excessive quiescent loss |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 47.5 mA at 25 °C - sets upper limit for sustained DC bias in shunt regulation |
| Junction-to-Lead Rθ | 25 °C/W - supports direct thermal path to PCB pad for reliable 5 W operation |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 800 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands transient overvoltage events in industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a band on the body; anode and cathode terminals are formed as symmetrical gull-wing leads for visible solder joint inspection and automated optical alignment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded terminal; connected to feedback point or protected circuit node; maintains 100 V above anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5378B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required before reflow - reduces handling cost and assembly complexity |
| Gull-wing lead form | Visible solder joints and self-centering during reflow - improves SMT yield and AOI inspection reliability |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | MIL-STD-750 method 2026 solderability - ensures robust intermetallic formation and long-term joint integrity |
| High surge current rating | 800 A non-repetitive peak - protects downstream circuitry against lightning-induced or inductive-switching transients |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5378B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IR specs; higher RθJA (125 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W). | Requires through-hole mounting and manual assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy through-hole design or hand-soldering prototyping is required. |
| SMBJ5378B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs but 35 °C/W higher RθJA (125 °C/W); no gull-wing visibility. | Limited thermal performance on FR4; less suitable for continuous 5 W operation without enhanced copper. | Choose only if DO-214AA footprint compatibility is mandatory and thermal derating is acceptable. |
Compared with SMBG5378B/TR13, 1N5378B offers identical regulation but inferior thermal performance and assembly flexibility, while SMBJ5378B sacrifices thermal efficiency and visual solder inspection capability for footprint compatibility-making SMBG5378B/TR13 optimal for high-reliability SMT power regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5378B/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5378B/TR13 indicates a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At 25 °C, this means the measured VZ falls between 95 V and 105 V when tested at IZT = 12 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi's T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet.
Can SMBG5378B/TR13 be used in place of 1N5378B?
Yes-SMBG5378B/TR13 is explicitly stated as electrically equivalent to JEDEC 1N5378B, with identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, IR, and IZM specifications. However, SMBG5378B/TR13 uses a DO-215AA gull-wing package versus the axial T-18 of 1N5378B, so mechanical redesign is required.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5378B/TR13?
SMBG5378B/TR13 delivers 5.0 W only when lead temperature (TL) is maintained below 25 °C. On a standard FR4 board with recommended footprint, power must be derated above 25 °C per Figure 1, reaching ~1.38 W at TA = 25 °C due to its 90 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Does SMBG5378B/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No-SMBG5378B/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry pack or baking. This is verified in the Mechanical and Packaging section of the datasheet.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMBG5378B/TR13?
SMBG5378B/TR13 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.5 µA at VR = 72 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on monitoring circuits without compromising regulation stability.
