Product details
Overview
SMBG5379A/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 110 V, ±10% tolerance (A-suffix), 12 mA test current (IZT), and 125 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5379A/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5379A/TR13 pinout, SMBG5379A/TR13 application, or SMBG5379A/TR13 equivalent, this part delivers stable 110 V regulation under varying load and temperature conditions, supports high surge immunity (1000 A IZSM), and features gull-wing DO-215AA packaging compatible with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode. Its Zener voltage is specified at TL = 30 °C with 40 ms settling time after DC current application, and its dynamic impedance is measured using 1 kHz AC modulation at 10% of IZT.
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 derating begins above 25 °C ambient, dropping to 1.38 W at TA = 25 °C when mounted per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 110 V ±10% - regulates at 99–121 V range under 12 mA test current, enabling robust overvoltage clamping in 100 V-class systems. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 12 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed; defines minimum bias current for stable regulation. |
| Max Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 125 Ω - small-signal AC impedance at 12 mA; determines output voltage variation under dynamic load changes. |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1000 mA - maximum continuous DC current at rated power; sets upper limit for safe steady-state operation. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1000 A - non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine peak current; enables transient overvoltage suppression without failure. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ 88 V - low leakage below knee voltage ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W @ TL < 25 °C - full-rated power achievable only with lead temperature controlled below 25 °C, e.g., via heatsinking or thermal vias. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; terminals are anode (unbanded end) and cathode (banded end); moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; common reference node in reverse-bias regulation | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; forms return path for Zener current during clamping. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; Zener breakdown terminal in reverse bias | Banded end must be held at higher potential; provides stable 110 V reference relative to anode in regulation mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5379B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods to legacy through-hole 1N5379B, enabling drop-in redesigns with no circuit revalidation. |
| Gull-wing DO-215AA leads | Visible solder joints enable AOI inspection; compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles including 260 °C peak for 10 s. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry-pack or baking required before assembly - reduces handling cost and avoids moisture-induced popcorning. |
| RoHS-compliant option | e3 suffix denotes matte-tin plating; meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B and eliminates Pb-based solder compatibility concerns. |
| High surge withstand | Rated for 1000 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - protects downstream circuitry from lightning-induced transients or inductive kickback. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Motor Drive 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5379B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZM specs; same ±10% tolerance and 5 W rating. | Requires PCB through-hole mounting and wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy board reuse or manual prototyping favors axial-leaded form factor over gull-wing SMT. |
| SMBJ5379A | J-bend DO-214AA package; same electrical specs but different thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W) and footprint. | Lower profile than SMBG but reduced thermal performance on FR4; requires revised pad layout and stencil design. | Select when board space constraints favor J-bend geometry and thermal margin allows 10 °C/W higher junction rise. |
Compared with SMBG5379A/TR13, 1N5379B offers identical regulation performance in through-hole format but sacrifices SMT scalability, while SMBJ5379A retains surface-mount compatibility at the cost of slightly degraded thermal dissipation and mechanical fit.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5379A/TR13?
The 'A' suffix in SMBG5379A/TR13 indicates a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls within 99 V to 121 V at 12 mA test current and 30 °C lead temperature. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC Test Method 201 and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C.
Does SMBG5379A/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5379A/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry packing or baking. The void-free epoxy body and annealed matte-tin plating eliminate popcorning risk during standard reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5379A/TR13?
SMBG5379A/TR13 is rated for 1000 A peak non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) under an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as defined in Note 4 of the datasheet. This rating is validated per MIL-STD-750 Method 3013 and reflects single-event capability - not repetitive duty cycle operation.
How does the thermal resistance of SMBG5379A/TR13 affect its power handling?
SMBG5379A/TR13 has RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W (on FR4 with recommended footprint). At 25 °C ambient, its usable power drops to 1.38 W unless lead temperature is actively maintained below 25 °C - requiring thermal vias, copper pours, or external heatsinking to sustain full 5 W operation.
Is SMBG5379A/TR13 RoHS compliant?
SMBG5379A/TR13 is available in both RoHS-compliant and non-RoHS versions. The standard TR13 tape-and-reel variant uses matte-tin (e3) plating per JESD22-A112 and meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The part marking omits the 'e3' suffix but complies fully - confirmed by Microsemi's material declarations and certificate of conformance.
