1N5338AE3/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5338AE3/TR13 is a silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 5.1 V and a tolerance of ±10%. It features a maximum power dissipation of 5 W at 25 °C, operating within a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C. The device utilizes a T-18 axial leaded plastic package and complies with RoHS standards. It is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile installation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits
• Surge protection applications
• General-purpose electronic equipment requiring stable reference voltages

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR13' confirms tape and reel packaging requirements. Confirm that the 'e3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free terminations. Ensure the 'A' suffix matches the required ±10% voltage tolerance for your design specifications before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5.1 V Zener voltage with ±10% tolerance is required. Consider the 5 W power rating and thermal resistance characteristics for adequate heat sinking. Verify compatibility with the T-18 through-hole package and tape and reel delivery format.

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 3.3 V to 200 V with various tolerance options identified by suffix letters. These devices are designed for robust performance in demanding environments.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the standard 1N5338A without the e3 or TR13 suffixes. Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5338B may be considered if board space requires a different package type.
