1N5340AE3/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5340AE3/TR13 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, manufactured by Microsemi Scottsdale Division. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 6.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±10%, indicated by the 'A' suffix. The device features an axial-lead T-18 package and RoHS compliance via the 'e3' suffix. Electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic impedance of 1.0 ohms and a maximum reverse current of 1.0 µA. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal voltage change versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile integration
• Moisture classification Level 1 requiring no dry pack storage

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Protection against transient overvoltage events
• Reference voltage generation in electronic systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix TR13 corresponds to the tape and reel packaging option as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the presence of the e3 suffix indicates RoHS compliant annealed matte-Tin plating on the terminals. Ensure the A suffix is present to confirm the ±10% voltage tolerance requirement. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's latest documentation to verify current production status and availability.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.0 V reference with ±10% tolerance is required in a 5-watt axial package. Consider the thermal resistance of 25 °C/W junction-to-lead for heat sinking requirements. Evaluate the maximum regulator current (790 mA) against circuit load needs. Compare against B, C, or D suffix variants if tighter voltage tolerances are necessary for the application.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 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. The specific part utilizes the T-18 plastic encapsulated case with void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy meeting UL94V-0 standards. It is designed for operation with adequate heat sinking to handle high maximum DC currents.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5340 or SMBG5340 are available from the same series. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal management differences when transitioning between axial leaded and surface mount packages.
