Product details
Overview
SMBG5388BE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a surface-mount 5 W Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 200 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 (-65 °C to +150 °C), supports 5.0 W dissipation at lead temperature <25 °C, and delivers 1.52 A maximum Zener current (IZM) with 480 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current - used in industrial power supply overvoltage clamping.
For engineers reviewing the SMBG5388BE3/TR13 datasheet, SMBG5388BE3/TR13 pinout, SMBG5388BE3/TR13 application, or SMBG5388BE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 200 V Zener voltage at 5 mA, 1.52 A IZM rating under thermal derating constraints, DO-215AA mechanical compatibility, and RoHS-compliant solderability per MIL-STD-750 method 2026.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and transient suppressor in DC power rails, leveraging sharp Zener breakdown at 200 V with low dynamic impedance (480 Ω at 5 mA) and minimal voltage drift versus current. Its DO-215AA gull-wing leads enable visible solder joints and meet IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
Rated for 5.0 W at TL <25 °C (1.38 W at TA = 25 °C on FR4), it withstands non-repetitive 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 1850 A and exhibits ≤0.5 µA reverse leakage at VR = 144 V - critical for high-voltage hold-off integrity in telecom and industrial SMPS feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 200 V at IZT = 5 mA - stable regulation point for high-voltage reference or clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL < 25 °C - requires thermal management via PCB copper pour or heatsink attachment |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1.52 A - defines absolute DC current limit before thermal runaway under rated conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 480 Ω at 5 mA - quantifies voltage stability under small-signal AC modulation in feedback loops |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 µA at VR = 144 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 1850 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - enables single-event transient suppression without degradation |
| Junction Temp Range | -65 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in extended-temperature industrial and automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-215AA gull-wing surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode and cathode only - no internal circuitry or additional pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Positive terminal during Zener conduction | Connected to regulated rail or clamped node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/ground terminal | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential node; completes Zener bias path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N5388B equivalence | Identical electrical specs and test methods - enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Solderable per MIL-STD-750 method 2026 - eliminates Pb-based assembly concerns while maintaining wetting reliability |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required - reduces handling cost and simplifies SMT line logistics |
| Gull-wing lead form | Visible solder fillets on FR4 - enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of joint integrity |
| High surge current rating | 1850 A peak (8.3 ms) - protects downstream circuitry from lightning-induced or inductive-switching transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5388B | Axial-leaded T-18 package; identical VZ, IZM, and ZZT specs but higher RθJA (150 °C/W vs. 90 °C/W). | Requires through-hole assembly and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Select when legacy through-hole production or manual repair is required; not interchangeable without PCB redesign. |
| SMBJ5388 | DO-214AA J-bend package; same VZ and IZM but 20% higher RθJA (108 °C/W) and 10% lower IZSM (1665 A). | Compatible footprint on some layouts but lacks gull-wing visibility for AOI; reduced surge margin. | Choose only if DO-214AA is standardized in your process and 11% lower surge rating is acceptable. |
Compared with SMBG5388BE3/TR13, 1N5388B demands through-hole rework capability and sacrifices thermal performance, while SMBJ5388 trades AOI-friendly gull-wing leads and surge robustness for minor footprint compatibility - making SMBG5388BE3/TR13 optimal for new SMT designs prioritizing inspectability and transient resilience.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMBG5388BE3/TR13?
The 'B' suffix in SMBG5388BE3/TR13 denotes ±5% Zener voltage tolerance. At 200 V nominal, this means the actual VZ falls between 190 V and 210 V when measured at 5 mA test current and 25 °C junction temperature. This tolerance is verified per JEDEC 1N5388B test standards and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does SMBG5388BE3/TR13 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, SMBG5388BE3/TR13 has IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity - meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without dry pack or baking. This eliminates pre-reflow moisture mitigation steps, reducing manufacturing overhead and avoiding thermal stress on the DO-215AA epoxy body.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMBG5388BE3/TR13 on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a 1 oz copper FR4 board with Microsemi's recommended pad layout, SMBG5388BE3/TR13 dissipates 1.38 W continuously at 25 °C ambient. This derated value accounts for RθJA = 90 °C/W and ensures junction temperature remains below 150 °C. Full 5.0 W is only sustainable at lead temperature <25 °C, typically requiring external heatsinking.
How does the gull-wing lead form of SMBG5388BE3/TR13 benefit automated optical inspection?
The gull-wing leads of SMBG5388BE3/TR13 provide exposed solder fillets along the entire lead length after reflow, enabling reliable detection of voids, insufficient solder, or bridging by standard AOI systems. Unlike J-bend or flat leads, this geometry yields consistent contrast and edge definition - critical for zero-defect manufacturing in high-reliability power modules.
Can SMBG5388BE3/TR13 replace 1N5388B in existing designs without modification?
SMBG5388BE3/TR13 matches 1N5388B electrically (VZ, IZM, ZZT, IR) and is JEDEC-equivalent, but its DO-215AA gull-wing package is not mechanically compatible. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign to accommodate surface-mount pads and eliminate through-holes - though electrical validation is unnecessary due to identical parametric performance.
