Product details
Overview
SMBG5381AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 130 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), and maximum Zener current IZM of 36.6 mA at TL < 25 °C. It uses DO-215AA gull-wing package, supports visible solder joints, and operates across –65 to +150 °C junction temperature range. It serves as precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5381AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5381AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5381AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5381AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 130 V Zener voltage, 5 W power rating at lead temperature <25 °C, ±10% voltage tolerance, DO-215AA gull-wing thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator diode operating in reverse-biased breakdown mode. Its Zener voltage is specified at 130 V with test current IZT = 10 mA, dynamic impedance ZZT = 190 Ω, and maximum reverse leakage IR = 0.5 µA at VR = 104 V.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W on FR4 board with recommended footprint. It withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge current up to 1250 A and exhibits moisture sensitivity level 1 - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 130 V ±10% - stable regulation point at IZT = 10 mA, usable for 120–140 V rail clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management when lead temperature exceeds 25 °C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 190 Ω at IZT = 10 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage variation under small-signal ripple |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at VR = 104 V - negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1250 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - handles transient overvoltage events without failure |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 to +150 °C - suitable for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables predictable junction-to-lead temperature rise under DC load |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; banded end is anode in forward bias but functions as cathode terminal in Zener operation (reverse-biased).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (banded end) | Reference node for reverse bias | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; defines polarity for Zener conduction |
| Cathode (unbanded end) | Zener output terminal | Connected to higher-potential side; voltage at this node clamps to 130 V when reverse current exceeds knee |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5381B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods to legacy through-hole 1N5381B - simplifies redesign migration |
| Gull-wing leads | Enables visual solder joint inspection and improves mechanical reliability vs. J-bend packages |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack or baking required before reflow - reduces manufacturing handling overhead |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | e3 suffix confirms lead-free finish compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - meets global environmental mandates |
| High surge current rating | 1250 A peak (8.3 ms) - protects downstream circuitry from lightning-induced or inductive-switching transients |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Clamping | DC Bus Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamp 120 V DC bus against switching surges in motor drive inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal passive voltage clamp absorbing transient energy above 130 V threshold.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response shunt element diverting >100 V transients to ground. Use Value: Withstands 1250 A surge per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without degradation - eliminates need for external TVS arrays. |
Use Scenario: Provide calibrated 130 V reference in portable multimeter calibration circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable Zener source enabling traceable voltage measurement at mid-range DC levels. Use Value: Low dynamic impedance (190 Ω) minimizes loading error when driving high-impedance ADC inputs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5381B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IR specs; non-RoHS (Sn/Pb plating) | Requires PCB through-hole mounting; not suitable for high-density SMT assembly | Select when legacy through-hole design reuse or manual prototyping is prioritized over automated assembly. |
| SMBJ5381B | J-bend DO-214AA package; same VZ and tolerances; RθJA = 100 °C/W (vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG); no e3 RoHS option listed | Lower thermal efficiency on FR4; less visible solder joints; different footprint and reflow profile | Select only if DO-214AA footprint is already standardized and RoHS compliance is not required. |
Compared with SMBG5381AE3/TR13, 1N5381B offers identical electrical behavior but demands through-hole layout changes, while SMBJ5381B sacrifices thermal performance and RoHS compliance for J-bend compatibility - SMBG5381AE3/TR13 uniquely combines SMT gull-wing visibility, Level 1 moisture rating, and certified lead-free plating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5381AE3/TR13?
The "A" suffix in SMBG5381AE3/TR13 specifies ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 117 V and 143 V at IZT = 10 mA and TL = 25 °C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0246-1 Rev. 1, where SMBG5381B (same base number) lists VZ = 130 V with A-suffix tolerance.
Is SMBG5381AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5381AE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" suffix per Microsemi's nomenclature guide. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - no dry pack required prior to reflow soldering.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5381AE3/TR13?
SMBG5381AE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive Zener surge current (IZSM) of 1250 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of T4-LDS-0246-1 Rev. 1. This rating applies under defined test conditions and supports transient suppression in industrial and automotive systems.
How does SMBG5381AE3/TR13 differ from SMBJ5381B?
SMBG5381AE3/TR13 uses DO-215AA gull-wing leads with RθJA = 90 °C/W and RoHS-compliant e3 plating, whereas SMBJ5381B uses DO-214AA J-bend leads with RθJA = 100 °C/W and no documented e3 variant. Both share 130 V Zener voltage and ±10% tolerance, but SMBG5381AE3/TR13 offers superior thermal performance and environmental compliance.
What is the test current (IZT) used to specify the Zener voltage of SMBG5381AE3/TR13?
The Zener voltage of SMBG5381AE3/TR13 is specified at a test current (IZT) of 10 mA, as shown in the Electrical Characteristics table for SMBG5381B on page 3 of T4-LDS-0246-1 Rev. 1. This current establishes the operating point for measuring VZ = 130 V and associated parameters like ZZT and IR.
