1N5340BG

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N5340BG is a 6.0 V nominal Zener voltage regulator diode from the 1N53 Series, housed in an axial lead Surmetic 40 plastic package (CASE 017AA). It features a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 5 W at 25°C and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C. The device guarantees tight electrical limits including a reverse Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 1.0 A, and a surge rating of up to 180 W for 8.3 ms pulses. It utilizes silicon-oxide passivated junctions for superior environmental protection.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'G' corresponds to the Pb-Free package configuration as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the specific part number matches the required 6.0 V nominal Zener voltage and ±5% tolerance. Ensure the procurement documentation references the correct CASE 017AA mechanical outline for proper mounting and thermal management considerations.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 W axial lead Zener diode with a 6.0 V nominal breakdown is required. The device is suitable for applications demanding high surge withstand capability and strict voltage tolerance limits. Consider the operating temperature range and thermal resistance characteristics to ensure adequate heat sinking or lead length for power dissipation requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N53 Series of 5 Watt Zener Voltage Regulators manufactured by onsemi. The series covers a wide Zener voltage range from 3.3 V to 200 V, providing designers with a comprehensive selection of standard values. All devices in this family share the same Surmetic 40 axial lead package and utilize silicon-oxide passivation technology for consistent performance and durability.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other manufacturers' 1N5340B variants that meet the JEDEC specifications for 6.0 V Zener voltage and 5 W power dissipation. Verify that any substitute device maintains the same axial lead package dimensions and thermal characteristics to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit modification.
