1N5334B-AP

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The 1N5334B-AP is a Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It belongs to the 1N53xxB series of 5-watt Zener regulator diodes. The device features a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 volts and operates within a specified tolerance range. It utilizes a DO-15 axial leaded package, designated as DO-204AC in industry standards. The component is designed for general-purpose voltage regulation applications requiring moderate power dissipation capabilities.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation at a nominal 3.6-volt level
• Capable of dissipating up to 5 watts of power
• Constructed with an axial leaded DO-15 package for through-hole mounting

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• General-purpose voltage regulation circuits
• Power supply reference voltage generation
• Overvoltage protection stages

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 1N5334B-AP to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure the DO-15 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the 3.6V Zener voltage aligns with your circuit design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt power rating and a 3.6-volt regulation point are required. The DO-15 package offers robust mechanical stability compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives. Consider thermal management strategies if operating near the maximum power dissipation limit in enclosed environments.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part is part of the broader 1N53xxB series from MCC, which covers a wide range of Zener voltages from 3.3V to 200V. The 'AP' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configurations, while the base '1N5334B' identifies the electrical characteristics. This series is widely used in industrial and consumer electronics for reliable voltage clamping.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other manufacturers' 1N5334B equivalents meeting the same 5W/3.6V/DO-15 specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with parts from different vendors to ensure equivalent performance.
