Product details
Overview
SMBG5381BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 130 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 10 mA test current, 190 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1.2 A maximum surge current (8.3 ms half-sine). It regulates voltage in power supply overvoltage protection circuits operating across -65°C to +150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5381BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5381BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5381BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5381BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25°C/W), surge current rating, moisture sensitivity level (MSL Level 1), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and shunt regulator in DC power rails, clamping transient overvoltages by conducting reverse current above its specified VZ. Its DO-215AA gull-wing package enables visible solder joints and supports high-density PCB layouts without dry-pack requirements.
It delivers stable regulation under broad current ranges (IZK = 10 mA, IZM = 36.6 mA) with minimal voltage drift versus temperature (TJ = –65°C to +150°C) and low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 190 Ω), ensuring predictable clamping behavior during surge events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 130 V ±5% at 10 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25°C - requires thermal management via lead conduction (RθJL = 25°C/W) |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 190 Ω at 10 mA - determines voltage deviation under varying load current |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 1.2 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands short-duration transients per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at 104 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | –65°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Level 1 per J-STD-020B - no baking required before reflow, simplifying SMT assembly |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode (unbanded end) and cathode (banded end); polarity must be observed for correct shunt regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference for Zener conduction |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded terminal; connected to protected rail; conducts when voltage exceeds 130 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5381B Equivalent | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| RoHS Compliant Matte-Tin Plating | e3 suffix confirms annealed tin finish meeting IPC-J-STD-006 - supports Pb-free reflow profiles |
| Gull-Wing Leads (DO-215AA) | Visible solder joints and mechanical stability - improves post-reflow inspection and reliability |
| MSL Level 1 Rating | No dry pack or baking needed - reduces manufacturing overhead and avoids moisture-induced defects |
| High Surge Withstand (1.2 A) | Rated for 8.3 ms half-sine waveform - protects downstream circuitry against lightning-induced surges |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5381B | Same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and PD; axial T-18 package instead of DO-215AA | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT boards | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual repair is prioritized over board space savings |
| SMBJ5381B | Same VZ and tolerance; DO-214AA (J-bend) package; RθJA = 100°C/W vs. 90°C/W for SMBG | Higher thermal resistance limits sustained power handling on FR4; identical surge rating | Choose when existing footprint uses DO-214AA or when slightly higher RθJA is acceptable in thermally managed layouts |
Compared with SMBG5381BE3/TR13, 1N5381B offers identical regulation but mandates through-hole mounting, while SMBJ5381B shares the same Zener characteristics but trades gull-wing visibility and marginally better thermal performance for J-bend compatibility.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for SMBG5381BE3/TR13?
The SMBG5381BE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage of 130 V with ±5% tolerance (denoted by the 'B' suffix) and is tested at 10 mA (IZT). This tolerance ensures the actual breakdown voltage falls between 123.5 V and 136.5 V under standard conditions, supporting reliable overvoltage clamping in safety-critical power rails where SMBG5381BE3/TR13 is deployed.
Does SMBG5381BE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5381BE3/TR13 is rated MSL Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has no moisture sensitivity limitations and can be placed directly into reflow without baking or dry-pack storage. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and eliminates risk of popcorning during SMBG5381BE3/TR13 assembly.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5381BE3/TR13 and its waveform definition?
SMBG5381BE3/TR13 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) of 1.2 A, defined as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without degradation, making SMBG5381BE3/TR13 suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 compliant surge protection stages.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5381BE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA in thermal performance?
The DO-215AA gull-wing package of SMBG5381BE3/TR13 provides a lower thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL = 25°C/W) compared to DO-214AA variants like SMBJ5381B (RθJL ≈ 30°C/W), enabling more efficient heat conduction through PCB copper. This enhances SMBG5381BE3/TR13's sustained power capability in compact layouts.
Is SMBG5381BE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5381BE3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating (e3 suffix) and is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Its DO-215AA package and internal construction ensure robustness during SMBG5381BE3/TR13 soldering without delamination or parametric shift.
