1N5340BRLG

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N5340BRLG is a 5 W Zener voltage regulator diode from the 1N53 Series, housed in an axial lead Surmetic 40 (Case 017AA) plastic package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.0 V with a ±5% tolerance and a test current of 200 mA. The device provides a maximum Zener impedance of 1 Ω at the test current and maintains a reverse leakage current of no more than 3 μA at 12.7 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C and includes an ESD rating exceeding 16 kV per the Human Body Model.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon-oxide passivated junctions for superior operating characteristics and environmental protection.
• Features tight electrical limits guaranteed across multiple parameters including voltage, impedance, and leakage.
• Includes high surge capability rated up to 180 W for 8.3 ms pulses.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over broad operating current and temperature ranges
• Protection against electrostatic discharge events
• Surge current handling in power circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix RLG corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format containing 4000 units per reel. Confirm the presence of the G suffix indicates Pb-Free compliance. Ensure the component matches the Surmetic 40 Case 017AA mechanical outline dimensions before integration into the assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.0 V reference or regulation point is required with a 5 W power dissipation capacity. The axial lead configuration supports through-hole mounting in any position. Consider the specific test current of 200 mA and the resulting impedance values to ensure compatibility with the circuit's load requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N53xxB series of 5 Watt Zener diodes manufactured by onsemi. The series covers a wide voltage range from 3.3 V to 200 V, all sharing the same robust transfer-molded plastic package design. The B suffix denotes a standard voltage tolerance of ±5%, distinguishing it from tighter tolerance variants.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 1N5340B equivalents. Verify that substitute parts meet the 5 W power rating, 6.0 V nominal voltage, and ±5% tolerance specifications. Ensure the replacement package matches the axial lead dimensions of Case 017AA for physical compatibility.
