1N5340BE3/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5340BE3/TR13 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 6.0 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a T-18 axial lead package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 1.0 µA and a dynamic impedance of 1.0 Ω. The component is RoHS compliant, moisture classification Level 1, and supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required specifications: 'e3' indicates RoHS compliance, while 'TR13' specifies the tape and reel packaging format. Confirm the manufacturer origin, as this part originates from the Microsemi Scottsdale Division now under Microchip Technology. Ensure the procurement documentation aligns with the specific B suffix tolerance requirements for your design.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt power dissipation rating and a 6.0 V Zener voltage are required. The ±5% tolerance suits general-purpose regulation tasks. Consider the T-18 package dimensions and thermal resistance characteristics for heat sinking requirements. Verify compatibility with the system's operating temperature range and surge current expectations.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part 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 B suffix denotes a standard ±5% voltage tolerance. These devices are designed for high DC currents with adequate heat sinking and feature void-free transfer molded epoxy bodies meeting UL94V-0 standards.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5340B or SMBG5340B are available from the same series. Direct pin-to-pin replacements must match the 5-watt power rating, 6.0 V Zener voltage, and T-18 package form factor.
