1N5333B TR

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N5333B TR is a silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 3.3V and a tolerance of ±5%. It features a 5W power rating, operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C, and utilizes an axial-lead T-18 plastic package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration
• Withstands high surge stresses while maintaining specified voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in electronic circuits
• Power supply design requiring stable reference voltages
• Protection against overvoltage conditions

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when ordering, as this component is available from multiple vendors including Microsemi and Central Semiconductor. Confirm that the device meets your environmental compliance requirements, as standard versions are not RoHS compliant. Ensure the supplier provides the correct datasheet version corresponding to the manufacturing origin.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a low-voltage Zener reference with moderate power handling capabilities. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for industrial environments. Verify thermal management needs, as the device can operate at high DC currents provided adequate heat sinking is implemented.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series of 5.0-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages ranging from 3.3V to 200V. The 'B' suffix indicates a standard voltage tolerance of ±5%, distinguishing it from tighter tolerance variants like the 'C' or 'D' suffixes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Central Semiconductor lists CZ5333B as a replacement for the 1N5333B. Other manufacturers offer equivalent parts within the same 5W Zener series, such as the MSP1N5333BTR from Microsemi.
