SMBG5923CE3/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The SMBG5923CE3/TR13 is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It features a silicon construction housed in a DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package with two terminals. The device is designed for high-reliability applications, offering robust protection against voltage transients. It complies with RoHS standards and carries an MSL rating of 1, indicating it does not require dry packing. The component utilizes plastic epoxy encapsulation within a rectangular small outline form factor suitable for automated assembly processes.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides transient voltage suppression capabilities using silicon technology
• Features a gull-wing design in the DO-215AA package for visible solder joints
• Offers lower thermal resistance compared to axial lead equivalents

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Protection of sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes
• High-density surface mount mounting applications
• Low-profile circuit board designs requiring robust ESD protection

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating and tolerance suffixes required for your application, as the base part number may correspond to a range within the SMBG59xx series. Confirm that the DO-214AA or DO-215AA package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your manufacturing environment. Check for any specific military screening levels if high reliability is mandated. Validate moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during storage and assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount solution is preferred over axial leads for improved thermal performance and space efficiency. Consider the SMBG series for applications requiring higher power ratings than standard JEDEC axial counterparts. Evaluate the specific breakdown voltage needs against the available options in the 592x series. Ensure the unidirectional configuration aligns with the polarity requirements of the protected circuit. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the end-use system.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the SMBG5913 through SMBG5956 series of Zener and TVS diodes. These devices are surface-mount equivalents to the traditional 1N5913B through 1N5956B axial-leaded series. The SMBG series offers identical electrical characteristics but provides a higher power rating due to the superior thermal properties of the surface-mount packaging. This family is widely used in industrial and consumer electronics for overvoltage protection.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other SMBG5923 variants from different manufacturers, provided they match the DO-214AA/DO-215AA package and electrical specifications. Cross-reference with SMAJ or P6KE series parts only if package size and power dissipation allowances permit. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substituting.
