1N5340C/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5340C/TR8 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 6.0 V and a ±2% tolerance. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a T-18 axial lead package. The device has a maximum dynamic impedance of 1.0 ohms, a maximum reverse current of 1.0 µA at 2.0 V, and a maximum regulator current of 790 mA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with tight manufacturing tolerances
• Capable of handling high surge stresses and steady-state power dissipation
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole applications

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in broad operating current ranges
• High current applications requiring adequate heat sinking
• General purpose voltage reference circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR8' indicates tape and reel packaging per EIA-296 standards. Confirm that the component retains the original Microsemi specifications despite potential corporate transitions. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs given the 5-watt power rating.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.0 V reference with ±2% accuracy is required. The T-18 package supports high power dissipation up to 5 watts. Verify that the application can accommodate the specified thermal resistance and junction-to-lead requirements for reliable operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon Zener diodes. The series offers voltages from 3.3V to 200V. The 'C' suffix denotes a tighter ±2% voltage tolerance compared to standard B or A suffixes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include other 1N5340 variants with different suffixes (e.g., 1N5340B) which share the same electrical characteristics but may have looser tolerances. Surface mount equivalents like SMBJ5340 are available.
