1N5334C/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5334C/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and ±2% tolerance. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C, features a T-18 axial lead package, and includes a TR suffix for tape and reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with tight ±2% tolerance
• Capable of handling high surge stresses and steady-state power dissipation
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for robust installation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in broad operating current ranges
• High-power circuit protection requiring thermal stability
• Military equivalent screening applications via prefix identifiers

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific C suffix indicates the required ±2% tolerance level. Confirm the TR suffix matches the intended tape and reel packaging requirements. Ensure the component meets the necessary JEDEC registration standards for the application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.6 V reference with tighter than standard tolerance is needed. The 5 W power rating supports high current operation with adequate heat sinking. Consider the T-18 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

Part of the 1N5333B through 1N53388B series of registered 5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V with various tolerance options identified by suffix letters. This specific model provides a low-voltage regulation option within the broader family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include other 3.6 V 5 W Zener diodes with similar T-18 packages. Verify that replacement components meet the same ±2% tolerance and thermal resistance specifications.
