1N5334C/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5334C/TR8 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode in the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the C suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features an axial lead T-18 package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic impedance of 2.5 ohms and a maximum reverse current of 150µA.

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 applications
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Moisture classification is Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, requiring no dry pack

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Reference voltage sources for electronic systems
• Overvoltage protection components

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR8' against official documentation to confirm tape and reel packaging details. Confirm RoHS compliance status as standard parts may vary. Check for military screening prefixes if higher reliability levels are required. Ensure the component matches the exact 5W power rating and 3.6V specification for the target design.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3.6V reference with ±2% tolerance is required. The T-18 package supports high thermal dissipation up to 5 watts. Consider the low dynamic impedance for applications needing stable performance under varying load conditions. Verify lead length requirements for PCB layout compatibility.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series covers a wide voltage range from 3.3V to 200V. The 'C' suffix specifically denotes the tighter ±2% voltage tolerance compared to standard B or A suffix variants.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts within the same series include 1N5334B (±5% tolerance) or 1N5334D (±1% tolerance). Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5334 or SMBG5334 are available. Verify pinout and thermal characteristics before substitution.
