Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific B suffix indicates a standard ±5% voltage tolerance. Confirm the e3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and the TR suffix confirms tape and reel packaging. Ensure the component meets the required JEDEC registration standards for the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt power rating and a 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage are required. Consider the T-18 package for through-hole mounting and verify that the ±5% tolerance aligns with circuit precision requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-lead thermal resistance.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-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 applications requiring high maximum DC currents with adequate heat sinking.
