Product details
Overview
SMBG5379AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 110 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), and maximum Zener current IZM of 12 mA at TL < 25 °C. It uses DO-215AA gull-wing packaging, supports visible solder joints, and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in industrial power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5379AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5379AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5379AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5379AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 110 V Zener voltage, 12 mA maximum regulator current, 125 Ω dynamic impedance at 12 mA, 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 88 V, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating - all critical for stable regulation under surge and thermal stress.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse-biased breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 110 V ±10% measured at 12 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance ZZT = 125 Ω at that point and knee impedance ZZK = 45 Ω at 1.0 mA.
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). It withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 1000 A and exhibits ≤0.5 µA reverse leakage at VR = 88 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 110 V ±10% at IZT = 12 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Maximum Regulator Current (IZM) | 12 mA at TL < 25 °C - sets upper DC current limit before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 125 Ω at IZT = 12 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 88 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management when mounted on PCB with lead heat sinking |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in harsh industrial or automotive under-hood environments |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1000 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - provides transient overvoltage protection without failure |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; anode and cathode terminals are accessible via symmetric gull-wing leads for visual solder inspection and automated optical alignment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node in Zener regulator configuration | Connected to lower-potential side of circuit; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated output node in Zener regulator configuration | Banded end; held at stable 110 V relative to anode during reverse conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5379B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | e3 suffix confirms lead-free finish compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity |
| Gull-wing lead geometry | Enables AOI-compatible solder joint inspection and reduces tombstoning risk on fine-pitch layouts |
| High surge current rating | 1000 A non-repetitive surge capability protects downstream circuitry from lightning or inductive kick events |
| Stable voltage vs. current | Low dynamic impedance (125 Ω) and minimal VZ drift ensure tight regulation across 5–15 mA operating range |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Automotive ECU Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage standard used to verify DMM full-scale accuracy at 100 V range. Use Value: ±10% tolerance and stable TC ensure repeatable readings across 0–50 °C ambient without recalibration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5379B | Same VZ (110 V), ±5% tolerance (B suffix), identical DO-215AA package and IZM = 12 mA | Higher voltage precision required where ±5% tolerance is mandatory for feedback loop stability | Select when tighter regulation tolerance is needed and RoHS compliance is not required |
| SMBG5379BE3/TR13 | Same VZ (110 V), ±5% tolerance (B suffix), RoHS-compliant e3 finish, identical thermal and surge ratings | Used where both tighter tolerance and lead-free assembly are mandated (e.g., EU medical devices) | Choose for new designs requiring RoHS + ±5% VZ spec; not pin-compatible with SMBG5379AE3/TR13 due to different tolerance coding |
Compared with SMBG5379AE3/TR13, 1N5379B offers tighter voltage tolerance but lacks RoHS compliance, while SMBG5379BE3/TR13 delivers both RoHS and ±5% tolerance - making it suitable for regulated markets but requiring layout verification due to differing part-number-driven tolerance expectations.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5379AE3/TR13?
The 'A' suffix in SMBG5379AE3/TR13 indicates a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage ranges from 99 V to 121 V at 12 mA test current. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test methods and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C. The SMBG5379AE3/TR13 datasheet specifies 110 V nominal with this tolerance band.
Is SMBG5379AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5379AE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the 'e3' suffix in its marking and packaging documentation. It features 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. This makes SMBG5379AE3/TR13 suitable for lead-free reflow processes.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5379AE3/TR13?
SMBG5379AE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 1000 A with an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per Microsemi's test methodology and reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or catastrophic failure - critical for automotive load-dump and telecom lightning protection.
How does SMBG5379AE3/TR13 compare to the through-hole 1N5379B?
SMBG5379AE3/TR13 is the surface-mount DO-215AA equivalent of the axial-leaded 1N5379B, sharing identical electrical characteristics including 110 V Zener voltage, 12 mA IZM, and 125 Ω dynamic impedance. However, SMBG5379AE3/TR13 uses gull-wing leads for automated assembly, while 1N5379B requires through-hole mounting - making them functionally equivalent but not mechanically interchangeable.
What thermal resistance values apply to SMBG5379AE3/TR13?
SMBG5379AE3/TR13 has RθJL = 25 °C/W (junction-to-lead) and RθJA = 90 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on FR4 with 1 oz Cu and recommended pad layout). These values define its thermal behavior: at 5 W dissipation, junction temperature rises 125 °C above lead temperature, requiring adequate copper pour or heatsinking to maintain safe operation below 150 °C.
