Product details
Overview
SMBG5387B/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 190 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 5 mA test current (IZT), and maximum Zener current (IZM) of 25 mA. It operates over -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and is used for precision voltage regulation in industrial power supplies and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5387B/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5387B/TR13 pinout, SMBG5387B/TR13 application, or SMBG5387B/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 190 V Zener voltage, 5 W power rating at TL < 25 °C, DO-215AA gull-wing package, 450 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1850 A non-repetitive surge current capability.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference diode operating in reverse breakdown. Its regulation performance is defined at 5 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 450 Ω measured at 10% rms AC modulation superimposed on IZT.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance of 25 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 90 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with recommended footprint. The cathode is marked by a band, requiring the banded end to be biased positive relative to the anode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 190 V ±5% at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at lead temperature < 25 °C - requires thermal management for sustained operation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 450 Ω at 5 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC load variations |
| Max Surge Current (IZSM) | 1850 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | -65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA at 137 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper for effective heat extraction |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, matte-tin RoHS-compliant plating, and visible solder joints. Cathode indicated by band.

|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased terminal during regulation | Connected to lower-potential node; carries full Zener current in clamp mode |
| Cathode | Higher-potential terminal during regulation | Banded end; connected to protected rail or reference node; defines polarity for correct biasing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5387B equivalent | Identical electrical specs and testing - enables drop-in replacement for legacy through-hole designs |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out prior to reflow |
| Non-ESD sensitive | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - reduces ESD handling requirements in production |
| Gull-wing lead form | Enables visual solder joint inspection - improves post-reflow quality assurance on automated lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5387B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZT, and tolerance; higher RθJA (150 °C/W) | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy board compatibility or manual prototyping is prioritized over space and thermal efficiency |
| SMBJ5387B | DO-214AA J-bend package; same electrical specs but different mechanical footprint and thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W) | Compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place but lacks gull-wing visibility for optical inspection | Choose when existing DO-214AA land patterns exist and visual solder verification is not required |
Compared with SMBG5387B/TR13, 1N5387B offers identical regulation but demands through-hole assembly and delivers inferior thermal performance, while SMBJ5387B matches SMT compatibility but sacrifices solder-joint visibility and thermal efficiency due to higher junction-to-ambient resistance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBG5387B/TR13?
The 'B' suffix in SMBG5387B/TR13 specifies a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At the rated test current of 5 mA, the actual breakdown voltage falls between 180.5 V and 199.5 V. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC standards and applies across the full operating temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C. SMBG5387B/TR13 is not rated for tighter tolerances such as ±2% (C suffix) or ±10% (A suffix).
Can SMBG5387B/TR13 be used in place of 1N5387B?
Yes, SMBG5387B/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N5387B per Microsemi documentation, sharing identical Zener voltage, test current, dynamic impedance, and surge ratings. However, SMBG5387B/TR13 uses a DO-215AA gull-wing package versus the axial T-18 package of 1N5387B, so PCB layout and assembly process must be updated accordingly. No changes to circuit functionality are required.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5387B/TR13?
SMBG5387B/TR13 is rated for 5.0 W continuous power dissipation only when the lead temperature (TL) remains below 25 °C. On a standard FR4 board with 1 oz copper and the recommended pad layout, derating begins above 25 °C at 55.6 mW/°C, reaching 1.38 W at 25 °C ambient. Thermal design must account for RθJL = 25 °C/W and RθJA = 90 °C/W to avoid exceeding junction limits.
Is SMBG5387B/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMBG5387B/TR13 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the 'e3' marking option referenced in Microsemi's nomenclature guide and supported by its matte-tin plating. The device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits. Compliance documentation is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
What does the 'TR13' suffix indicate in SMBG5387B/TR13?
The 'TR13' suffix in SMBG5387B/TR13 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-1-A standard, using a 12 mm carrier tape with 13-inch reels. This format supports automated SMT placement and is distinct from bulk or ammo-pack options. The TR13 configuration contains 2500 units per reel, consistent with Microsemi's standard ordering convention for SMBG-series Zeners.
