Product details
Overview
SMBG5387CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 190 V, ±2% tolerance (C suffix), rated test current of 5.0 mA, maximum dynamic impedance of 450 Ω at IZT, and maximum regulator current of 25 mA - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5387CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5387CE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5387CE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5387CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, surge current capability (1850 A), thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and DO-215AA gull-wing package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across wide current (5–25 mA) and temperature (–65 to +150 °C) ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (450 Ω at 5 mA) ensures minimal voltage variation under load transients.
The SMBG5387CE3/TR13 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), cathode-indicated band polarity, and is rated for 260 °C soldering (10 s). It meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity (Method 1020) and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture level 1 - no dry pack required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance and test current for SMBG5387CE3/TR13?
The SMBG5387CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage of 190 V with ±2% tolerance (denoted by the "C" suffix) and is specified at a test current (IZT) of 5.0 mA. This tight tolerance ensures predictable regulation in precision feedback paths, and the 5 mA test point aligns with typical operating currents in voltage reference applications.
Does SMBG5387CE3/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5387CE3/TR13 has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require dry packing, baking, or special handling prior to reflow soldering - simplifying manufacturing logistics and reducing cost.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMBG5387CE3/TR13 and its waveform definition?
The SMBG5387CE3/TR13 is rated for a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZSM) of 1850 A, defined as the maximum value of an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without failure - critical for protecting circuits against lightning-induced surges or inductive switching spikes.
How does the DO-215AA package of SMBG5387CE3/TR13 differ from DO-214AA or T-18 packages?
The DO-215AA gull-wing package of SMBG5387CE3/TR13 provides visible solder joints for optical inspection, lower thermal resistance (RθJL = 25 °C/W), and better coplanarity than J-bend (DO-214AA) or axial (T-18) alternatives - enhancing SMT yield and thermal reliability in high-power density layouts.
Is SMBG5387CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SMBG5387CE3/TR13 carries the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and is qualified for lead-free reflow up to 260 °C for 10 seconds - meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements and supporting modern Pb-free manufacturing standards.
