Product details
Overview
SMBG5381B/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 (IZT), and 190 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It operates over –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5381B/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5381B/TR13 pinout, SMBG5381B/TR13 application, or SMBG5381B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current rating (1250 A @ 8.3 ms), thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), and DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt regulator, maintaining stable reverse-biased conduction above 130 V with minimal voltage drift versus current (dynamic impedance 190 Ω) and temperature (–65 °C to +150 °C operating range). Its 5 W power dissipation is rated at TL < 25 °C with adequate heat sinking.
The SMBG5381B/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), matte-tin RoHS-compliant plating, and cathode identification via band marking. It meets MIL-STD-750 method 1020 for ESD insensitivity and withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 1250 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 130 V ±5% at 10 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference stability. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via lead conduction; derates to 1.38 W at TA = 25 °C on FR4. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 190 Ω at 10 mA - low impedance ensures minimal voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Maximum Surge Current (IZSM) | 1250 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables robust transient suppression without failure in surge-prone systems. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and outdoor power electronics. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - allows efficient heat transfer from junction to PCB copper via gull-wing leads, critical for sustained 5 W operation. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at 104 V - ensures negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by band; moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required); weight 0.1 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to ground or lower potential node; carries full surge and regulation current during clamping. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / high-side connection | Banded end; connected to protected rail or feedback node; maintains 130 V reference under regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5381B equivalent | Identical electrical characteristics and testing to legacy axial 1N5381B - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs. |
| Gull-wing lead form | DO-215AA package enables visual solder joint inspection and high-density mounting without J-bend clearance issues. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture classification - eliminates baking requirements before reflow. |
| High surge current capability | 1250 A non-repetitive surge rating (8.3 ms) - protects downstream circuitry against lightning-induced transients and inductive kickback. |
| Stable Zener voltage vs. current | 190 Ω dynamic impedance at 10 mA - ensures ≤1.9 V deviation across ±10% current change, critical for precision references. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5381B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZSM; higher RθJA (150 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W). | Requires through-hole assembly and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT production. | Select when legacy through-hole design must be maintained or manual repairability is prioritized over footprint density. |
| SMBJ5381B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs but 30% higher RθJA (117 °C/W) and no visible solder joint access. | Compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place but lacks gull-wing visual inspection capability. | Select when existing DO-214AA footprint is fixed and thermal performance margin permits higher ambient rise. |
Compared with SMBG5381B/TR13, 1N5381B offers identical regulation performance but demands through-hole assembly and poorer thermal conduction, while SMBJ5381B fits SMT lines but sacrifices solder joint visibility and thermal efficiency-making SMBG5381B/TR13 optimal for new high-reliability, high-density designs requiring inspection and thermal headroom.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for SMBG5381B/TR13?
The SMBG5381B/TR13 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance (denoted by the "B" suffix) and is specified at a test current (IZT) of 10 mA. At this current, its nominal breakdown voltage is 130 V, meaning the actual VZ falls between 123.5 V and 136.5 V across temperature and production lot. This tolerance and test point are confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Microsemi T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet.
Does SMBG5381B/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, SMBG5381B/TR13 is RoHS compliant, using annealed matte-tin plating per the "e3" designation implied by the "B" suffix and documented in the Features section. It meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1, eliminating the need for dry packing or baking prior to reflow soldering.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5381B/TR13 and under what conditions?
The SMBG5381B/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 1250 A, defined as the maximum value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating assumes single-event application and is validated per the test methodology in Microsemi's characterization, enabling reliable protection against lightning-induced transients and inductive switching spikes.
How does the thermal performance of SMBG5381B/TR13 compare between junction-to-lead and junction-to-ambient?
SMBG5381B/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W and a junction-to-ambient resistance (RθJA) of 90 °C/W when mounted on an FR4 board with 1 oz copper and the recommended pad layout. This 3.6× difference highlights the importance of leveraging copper pour and thermal vias to conduct heat from the leads-critical for sustaining its 5 W rating.
Is SMBG5381B/TR13 compatible with the legacy 1N5381B diode?
Yes, SMBG5381B/TR13 is explicitly stated as electrically equivalent to JEDEC-registered 1N5381B, with identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, IZM, and IZSM. The only differences are mechanical: SMBG5381B/TR13 uses DO-215AA gull-wing packaging versus T-18 axial leads, enabling surface-mount assembly and visual solder inspection not possible with 1N5381B.
