Product details
Overview
SMBG5386BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 180 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), rated test current of 5.0 mA, maximum dynamic impedance of 430 Ω at IZT, and peak surge current capability of 1750 A (8.3 ms half-sine). It regulates voltage in high-voltage power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5386BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5386BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5386BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5386BE3/TR13 equivalent, this part serves as a RoHS-compliant, gull-wing DO-215AA packaged Zener for stable voltage reference and transient clamping where 180 V breakdown and 5 W steady-state dissipation are required.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased Zener breakdown mode, delivering precise 180 V regulation at 5.0 mA test current with dynamic impedance of 430 Ω. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted per recommended footprint.
The SMBG5386BE3/TR13 exhibits low reverse leakage (≤0.5 µA at VR = 144 V), minimal voltage drift over temperature (−65 to +150 °C operating range), and robust surge handling (1750 A non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine), making it suitable for industrial power rail stabilization and ESD-robust protection networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 180 V ±5% at IZT = 5.0 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 180 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management on FR4 board to sustain full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 430 Ω at IZT = 5.0 mA - determines regulation stiffness under varying load current |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 1750 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports single-event transient suppression without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 144 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 to +150 °C - enables operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Thermal Resistance RθJL | 25 °C/W - allows direct thermal path to PCB lead for reliable 5 W operation with adequate copper area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5386B | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, and IZSM specs; non-RoHS tin-lead plating | Requires axial-leaded PCB layout; not suitable for SMT-only production lines | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or cost-sensitive non-RoHS designs are prioritized |
| SMBJ5386B | Same DO-214AA (J-bend) package; identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (RθJA = 90 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W for SMBG) | Lower thermal performance limits sustained 5 W operation without enhanced heatsinking | Select when existing J-bend footprint reuse is critical, accepting reduced thermal margin at full power |
Compared with SMBG5386BE3/TR13, the 1N5386B offers identical regulation but mandates through-hole assembly, while SMBJ5386B shares SMT compatibility but sacrifices thermal efficiency-making SMBG5386BE3/TR13 optimal for high-reliability, high-power-density 180 V clamp designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5386BE3/TR13?
The "B" suffix in SMBG5386BE3/TR13 specifies a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 171 V and 189 V when measured at 5.0 mA test current and 25 °C. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC test standards and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 to +150 °C.
Does SMBG5386BE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, SMBG5386BE3/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without desiccant or dry packing. The device's void-free epoxy body and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating eliminate moisture absorption concerns during standard reflow profiles up to 260 °C.
How does the thermal performance of SMBG5386BE3/TR13 compare to SMBJ5386B?
SMBG5386BE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25 °C/W, significantly lower than SMBJ5386B's RθJA of 90 °C/W. This means SMBG5386BE3/TR13 transfers heat more efficiently to the PCB copper via its gull-wing leads, enabling sustained 5 W operation with standard FR4 layout, whereas SMBJ5386B requires larger copper areas or forced cooling at full power.
Is SMBG5386BE3/TR13 compatible with the legacy 1N5386B in circuit design?
Yes, SMBG5386BE3/TR13 is electrically and functionally equivalent to 1N5386B per Microsemi documentation, sharing identical VZ, IZT, ZZT, IR, and IZSM specifications. The only differences are package (DO-215AA vs. DO-41) and plating (RoHS matte-tin vs. Sn/Pb), making SMBG5386BE3/TR13 a direct surface-mount replacement where layout permits.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5386BE3/TR13 and how is it defined?
SMBG5386BE3/TR13 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 1750 A, defined as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This rating is validated under specified test conditions and reflects the device's ability to absorb single-event transients without parametric shift or catastrophic failure.
