Product details
Overview
SMBG5385AE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 170 V, ±10% tolerance (A suffix), rated for 8.0 mA test current (IZT), 380 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 1.1 A maximum surge current (IZSM); used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5385AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5385AE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5385AE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5385AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at IZT, thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), surge current capability (IZSM = 1.1 A), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased mode, with cathode indicated by a band and requiring positive bias on the banded end. Its Zener voltage is specified at TL = 30 °C with 40 ±10 ms settling time after DC current application.
It delivers stable regulation across wide current ranges (IZK to IZM) and temperature extremes (–65 to +150 °C), supported by low dynamic impedance (380 Ω at 8.0 mA) and minimal voltage drift versus current-enabling reliable clamping in transient suppression and feedback sensing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 170 V ±10% at 8.0 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference stability. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - supports high-energy transient absorption when mounted with adequate heat sinking. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 380 Ω max at 8.0 mA - ensures minimal voltage variation under load changes in regulation circuits. |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1.1 A peak (8.3 ms half-sine) - withstands repetitive line transients without degradation. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65 to +150 °C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - allows efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for sustained 5 W operation. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | Level 1 per J-STD-020B - eliminates dry-pack requirement and simplifies handling and storage. |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a band on the body; terminals are anode (unbanded end) and cathode (banded end); designed for visible solder joint inspection and compatible with standard reflow profiles (260 °C for 10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; referenced ground in Zener clamp configuration | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path) during regulation or clamping. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; high-side connection in Zener operation | Banded terminal connected to input rail or feedback node; reverse-biased to maintain 170 V reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5385B equivalence | Identical electrical characteristics and testing to legacy through-hole 1N5385B, enabling drop-in replacement in upgraded designs. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | e3 suffix confirms annealed matte-tin finish meeting MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, ensuring solderability and long-term reliability. |
| Gull-wing lead form | DO-215AA package provides visible solder joints and mechanical robustness for automated optical inspection (AOI) and rework. |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required - reduces inventory handling cost and eliminates bake-out steps before SMT assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5385B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and PD specs; no RoHS compliance (Sn/Pb plating). | Requires axial-leaded PCB layout and wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT production. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly is mandated or thermal mass requirements exceed SMBG's RθJA = 90 °C/W. |
| SMBJ5385B | Same DO-214AA (J-bend) package; identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (RθJL = 30 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W). | Lower thermal efficiency limits sustained 5 W operation without enhanced copper pour; less suitable for compact heatsinking. | Prefer when existing footprint uses DO-214AA; verify thermal margin using RθJL = 30 °C/W in worst-case ambient conditions. |
Compared with SMBG5385AE3/TR13, 1N5385B offers identical regulation performance but requires manual or wave-solder assembly, while SMBJ5385B shares SMT compatibility but trades 5 °C/W higher junction-to-lead thermal resistance-impacting long-term reliability under continuous 5 W load.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5385AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5385AE3/TR13 has a ±10% Zener voltage tolerance, denoted by the "A" suffix in its part number. Its nominal VZ is 170 V, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 153 V and 187 V when measured at 8.0 mA test current and TL = 30 °C. This tolerance is verified per Microsemi T4-LDS-0246-1 Rev. 1 specifications and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is SMBG5385AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5385AE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its marking. It features annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and meets all substance restrictions defined in Directive 2011/65/EU. The device is also moisture sensitivity Level 1, eliminating dry-pack requirements for handling and storage.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5385AE3/TR13?
The SMBG5385AE3/TR13 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 1.1 A, defined as a single 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated under the conditions specified in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0246-1 datasheet and supports robust transient suppression in power supply and motor drive applications without parameter degradation.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5385AE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA package of SMBG5385AE3/TR13 uses gull-wing leads for visible solder joints and improved mechanical strength, whereas DO-214AA (used in SMBJ5385B) employs J-bend leads. DO-215AA offers lower thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W vs. 30 °C/W) and better suitability for AOI and rework-critical for high-reliability SMT lines where solder joint inspection is mandatory.
Can SMBG5385AE3/TR13 replace 1N5385B in existing designs?
Yes, SMBG5385AE3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N5385B per Microsemi documentation, matching VZ, IZT, ZZT, PD, and surge ratings. However, it requires PCB footprint revision from DO-41 to DO-215AA and supports only reflow soldering-not wave soldering. The e3 RoHS finish also replaces Sn/Pb plating, necessitating process validation for lead-free assembly.
