Product details
Overview
SMBG5385BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 170 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (E3), and DO-215AA gull-wing package. It regulates voltage across wide current and temperature ranges and withstands high surge stresses in power supply protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5385BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5385BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5385BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5385BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, maximum surge current rating, thermal resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its dynamic impedance is 380 Ω at 8.0 mA test current, and it exhibits minimal voltage drift versus current due to low knee impedance (31.6 Ω at 1.0 mA).
The SMBG5385BE3/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W power dissipation at lead temperature <25 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 25 °C/W and junction-to-ambient of 90 °C/W on FR4 board. It meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity requirements and has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5385BRLG | Same 170 V ±5%, but axial T-18 package - no SMT compatibility | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density boards | Select only when legacy through-hole manufacturing is mandated |
| SMBJ5385B | Identical electrical specs, but DO-214AA J-bend package - different footprint and thermal path | Higher RθJA (100 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W) limits power handling on same PCB layout | Choose if existing J-bend footprint is fixed and thermal margin allows |
Compared with SMBG5385BE3/TR13, 1N5385BRLG requires manual insertion and lacks gull-wing solder joint visibility, while SMBJ5385B demands PCB pad redesign and delivers lower thermal performance on identical board area.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5385BE3/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5385BE3/TR13 indicates a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At the specified test current of 8.0 mA and lead temperature of 25 °C, the actual breakdown voltage falls between 161.5 V and 178.5 V. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test methods and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C.
Does SMBG5385BE3/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5385BE3/TR13 does not require dry packing. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking. This eliminates pre-reflow bake cycles and reduces manufacturing overhead compared to higher MSL-rated components.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5385BE3/TR13?
SMBG5385BE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 1750 A, defined as the maximum value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is validated per industry-standard surge test protocols and enables use in primary-level transient protection for industrial and telecom infrastructure.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5385BE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA?
The DO-215AA gull-wing package of SMBG5385BE3/TR13 provides visible solder joints for automated optical inspection, whereas DO-214AA uses J-bend leads that hide solder fillets. DO-215AA also offers lower thermal resistance junction-to-lead (25 °C/W vs. ~30 °C/W for DO-214AA), improving power handling on thermally constrained PCBs.
Is SMBG5385BE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SMBG5385BE3/TR13 supports standard lead-free reflow with a peak solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, per its qualification data. The RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating ensures wetting reliability and intermetallic formation control under IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 process conditions.
