1N5334CE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5334CE3/TR12 is a silicon 5.0-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, featuring a maximum reverse current of 150 µA at 1.0 V and a dynamic impedance of 2.5 Ω. The device utilizes an axial T-18 package with RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across broad operating currents and temperatures
• Withstands high surge stresses without damage
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring tight tolerance
• Power supply protection against overvoltage conditions
• General-purpose voltage regulation in industrial equipment

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration matches the required tolerance level before procurement. Confirm that the e3 designation aligns with environmental compliance requirements for the target assembly process. Ensure the TR12 tape and reel format is compatible with existing pick-and-place machinery specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is critical due to its narrow tolerance band. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves if operating near maximum power dissipation limits. Verify lead length compatibility with the intended PCB layout constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5.0-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3V to 200V with various tolerance options identified by specific suffix letters on the part number.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the 1N5334B or 1N5334C. Verify that substitute components maintain the same T-18 package dimensions and electrical parameters to ensure mechanical and functional compatibility.
