1N5338CE3/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5338CE3/TR13 is a JEDEC registered silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 5.1 V and ±2% tolerance, indicated by the 'C' suffix. It operates in a T-18 axial leaded package with a maximum power dissipation of 5.0 W at 25°C. The device features RoHS compliance via the 'e3' suffix and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296. Electrical characteristics include a test current of 240 mA, a maximum dynamic impedance of 1.5 Ω, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 1.0 µA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Features low thermal resistance design for high maximum DC current operation
• Withstands high surge stresses and is nonsensitive to electrostatic discharge

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over broad operating current and temperature ranges
• High surge stress applications requiring robust protection
• General purpose voltage reference circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffixes on the component marking against the datasheet nomenclature to confirm the exact voltage tolerance and compliance status. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, as the TR suffix indicates tape and reel configuration. Confirm that the manufacturer designation aligns with current corporate records following industry acquisitions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 5.1 V regulation point with tight ±2% tolerance is required. The T-18 package supports through-hole mounting, while surface mount equivalents are available in SMBJ or SMBG series. Consider the thermal derating requirements if ambient temperatures exceed standard conditions or if heat sinking is not utilized.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5.0 watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 V to 200 V. These plastic encapsulated devices offer moisture classification Level 1 and are available in various military screening levels with specific prefix identifiers.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available in the SMBJ5333 to SMBJ5388B or SMBG5333B to SMBG5388B series.
