1N5334BRLG

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N5334BRLG is a single-channel Zener voltage regulator diode from the 1N53 Series, housed in an axial lead DO-15 (Surmetic 40) package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with a ±5% tolerance and a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 5 W at 25°C. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C and includes silicon-oxide passivated junctions for environmental protection.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon-oxide passivated junctions for enhanced stability and superior operating characteristics.
• Features void-free, transfer-molded thermosetting plastic packaging that provides corrosion resistance and solderability.
• Offers high surge current capability with ratings up to 180 W for short-duration pulses.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in general-purpose electronic circuits
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive components
• Reference voltage generation in power supplies

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Confirm that the 'RLG' designation corresponds to the tape and reel configuration rather than bulk packaging. Ensure compatibility with RoHS and REACH requirements by checking the manufacturer's material declaration before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3.6 V reference or regulation point is required in a high-power environment. The 5 W dissipation rating allows for robust performance in applications where thermal management is feasible. Verify that the low impedance characteristics at the test current meet the circuit's regulation accuracy requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N53 Series, a comprehensive family of 5 Watt Zener diodes ranging from 3.3 V to 200 V. The series is characterized by tight electrical limits and improved thermal handling compared to lower-power variants, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable voltage clamping.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 1N5334B variants from different manufacturers offering identical 3.6 V nominal voltage and 5 W power rating in the DO-15 package. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same ±5% tolerance and thermal resistance specifications to preserve circuit integrity.
