Product details
Overview
SMBG5378C/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 100 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and maximum Zener current IZM of 47.5 mA at TL < 25 °C. It uses DO-215AA gull-wing package, supports visible solder joints, and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. It delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5378C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5378C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5378C/TR13 application, or SMBG5378C/TR13 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC-compliant Zener characteristics, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and direct alternatives for 100 V ±2% regulation with 5 W dissipation capability.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt regulator operating in reverse-biased breakdown mode, with dynamic impedance ZZT of 90 Ω measured at 12 mA test current (IZT). Its Zener knee impedance ZZK is 44 Ω at 1.0 mA, indicating low-voltage-noise performance near conduction threshold.
Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted per recommended footprint; junction-to-ambient resistance is 90 °C/W on FR4 with 1 oz Cu, defining its power derating envelope above 25 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±2% at IZT = 12 mA - ensures tight regulation tolerance for reference and clamp applications |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling with adequate heatsinking |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 47.5 mA - derived from PD/VZmax (102 V), sets safe DC bias limit without thermal runaway |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 90 Ω at IZT = 12 mA - quantifies AC impedance in regulation region; lower values improve ripple rejection |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 72 V - confirms minimal off-state current under 72% of VZ, critical for low-power standby |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 800 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables transient overvoltage clamping in surge protection designs |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; anode and cathode terminals are accessible via two J-bend leads suitable for automated reflow assembly. Moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required prior to assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; connected to input rail being clamped or referenced; carries full IZM during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5378B equivalence | Fully compatible with legacy 1N5378B in electrical specs, test methods, and reliability screening |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets lead-free soldering requirements per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026; compatible with SnPb and SAC305 |
| Gull-wing lead geometry | Enables visual post-reflow solder joint inspection and reduces tombstoning risk on fine-pitch layouts |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Eliminates baking preconditioning; supports standard SMT floor life without dry pack or humidity control |
| High surge withstand | Rated for 800 A non-repetitive 8.3 ms surge - suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 transient suppression |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5378B | Same VZ (100 V), ±5% tolerance (B suffix); higher IR (5 µA at 72 V); identical DO-215AA package | Lower cost for non-critical regulation where ±5% tolerance is acceptable | Select when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and legacy qualification is required |
| SMBJ5378C | Same VZ and tolerance; DO-214AA package (J-bend); RθJA = 100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W; same IZM (47.5 mA) | Higher board-level thermal resistance requires larger copper area for equivalent power handling | Choose for compatibility with existing DO-214AA footprints or when gull-wing inspection is not required |
Compared with SMBG5378C/TR13, 1N5378B trades ±2% tolerance for wider leakage and lower cost, while SMBJ5378C retains identical regulation specs but shifts thermal management burden to PCB layout due to higher junction-to-ambient resistance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5378C/TR13?
The "C" suffix in SMBG5378C/TR13 specifies a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 12 mA test current. This yields a guaranteed VZ range of 98.0 V to 102.0 V under standard test conditions (TL = 25 °C), making SMBG5378C/TR13 suitable for precision clamping where tighter regulation is required compared to ±5% (B) or ±10% (A) variants.
Does SMBG5378C/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5378C/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity level 1, meaning it may be stored and processed under standard factory conditions without dry pack or baking. Its void-free epoxy body and Level 1 rating eliminate preconditioning steps, reducing manufacturing overhead versus higher MSL-rated components.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5378C/TR13?
SMBG5378C/TR13 is rated for 800 A peak non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) under an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per Microsemi's test methodology and supports compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity testing when used with appropriate series impedance in the protection circuit.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5378C/TR13 affect PCB layout?
SMBG5378C/TR13 has RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and recommended footprint. To sustain 5 W continuously, the PCB must provide sufficient copper area and thermal vias to keep junction temperature below 150 °C. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient-e.g., only ~3.5 W allowed at TA = 50 °C-so layout must prioritize thermal relief.
Is SMBG5378C/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5378C/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and is qualified for solder reflow up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. It supports standard SAC305 profiles and remains compatible with mixed-technology assemblies containing both leaded and lead-free components without intermetallic concerns.
