Product details
Overview
SMBG5381C/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 130 V, ±2% tolerance (suffix C), 10 mA test current, 190 Ω dynamic impedance, and 1250 A peak surge current capability. It regulates voltage in high-voltage power supply rails and overvoltage protection circuits where stable reference and robust transient handling are required.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5381C/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5381C/TR13 pinout, SMBG5381C/TR13 application, or SMBG5381C/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current rating, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse-biased breakdown mode, maintaining regulation across wide current (10 mA to 1250 A surge) and temperature (–65 °C to +150 °C) ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (190 Ω at 10 mA) ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes.
The DO-215AA gull-wing package provides visible solder joints and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity, eliminating dry-pack requirements. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted per recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 130 V ±2% at 10 mA - precise reference for high-voltage monitoring and clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management on PCB for sustained operation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 190 Ω at IZT = 10 mA - low AC impedance ensures stable regulation under varying load |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 1250 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands high-energy transients in industrial power systems |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables efficient heat conduction to lead frame and PCB copper pour |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | Level 1 per J-STD-020B - no dry pack or bake-out required before reflow |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode and cathode only. Designed for high-density PCB layouts with visible solder joints and compatible with standard reflow profiles (260 °C, 10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Positive terminal in reverse bias | Connected to regulated/high-side rail; voltage referenced to anode |
| Anode | Negative terminal in reverse bias | Typically connected to ground or low-side return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| JEDEC 1N53xxB equivalent | Direct functional replacement for legacy axial 1N5381B with identical electrical specs |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Lead-free solder compatibility and MIL-STD-750 compliant solderability |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry-pack or baking needed - reduces manufacturing overhead and floor-life constraints |
| Gull-wing lead form | Enables visual post-reflow inspection and improves mechanical reliability vs. J-bend packages |
| High surge current rating | 1250 A non-repetitive peak supports IEC 61000-4-5 level 4 surge immunity designs |
Applications

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; same VZ, tolerance, and IZM; RθJA = 120 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W for SMBG | Requires through-hole mounting and higher board area; less suitable for automated SMT lines | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual repair is required; not drop-in for SMT |
| SMBJ5381C | DO-214AA J-bend package; identical electrical specs but RθJL = 30 °C/W (vs. 25 °C/W) and no visible solder joint | Compatible with same PCB footprint family but lacks gull-wing visual inspection capability | Select when DO-214AA is already standardized; slightly lower thermal performance than SMBG |
Compared with 1N5381B and SMBJ5381C, SMBG5381C/TR13 delivers superior thermal conduction (25 °C/W RθJL) and manufacturability (gull-wing visibility), making it optimal for high-reliability SMT power regulation where thermal margin and process control are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage and tolerance of SMBG5381C/TR13?
SMBG5381C/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 130 V with ±2% tolerance, verified at 10 mA test current and 25 °C junction temperature. This tight tolerance enables precise voltage clamping in high-voltage feedback and protection circuits where reference stability is critical to system safety and accuracy.
Does SMBG5381C/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, SMBG5381C/TR13 uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating per the "e3" designation in its nomenclature, satisfying EU Directive 2011/65/EU and related global environmental standards. The device is fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5381C/TR13?
SMBG5381C/TR13 is rated for 1250 A peak non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) under an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This specification directly supports compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity testing in industrial and automotive power systems.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5381C/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA gull-wing package of SMBG5381C/TR13 provides visible solder joints and lower thermal resistance (25 °C/W RθJL) versus the DO-214AA J-bend variant (30 °C/W). While both are surface-mount, DO-215AA supports better post-reflow optical inspection and more efficient heat transfer to PCB copper.
Is SMBG5381C/TR13 a direct replacement for 1N5381B?
SMBG5381C/TR13 is functionally equivalent to 1N5381B in electrical characteristics (VZ, IZT, ZZT, IZM) and testing per JEDEC standards, but it is not a mechanical drop-in replacement due to its DO-215AA surface-mount package versus the axial T-18 package of 1N5381B. Board redesign is required for SMT integration.
