1N5340CE3/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5340CE3/TR13 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, manufactured by the Microsemi Scottsdale Division. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 6.0 volts with a ±2% tolerance, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features an axial lead T-18 package. The 'e3' suffix denotes RoHS compliance, while the 'TR13' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging per EIA-296 standards.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Reference voltage generation for electronic systems
• Overvoltage protection components

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as this part originates from the Microsemi Scottsdale Division, now part of Microchip Technology. Confirm that the specific ordering suffixes match the required tolerance (C for ±2%), compliance (e3), and packaging (TR13). Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs due to the 5-watt dissipation rating.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6.0-volt reference is required with tight ±2% tolerance. Consider the T-18 axial package for through-hole board layouts. Evaluate thermal derating requirements if ambient temperatures exceed 25°C or if heat sinking is not utilized on FR4 PCBs.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3V to 200V. The 1N5340 variant specifically targets the 6.0V regulation point within this extensive lineup.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other 1N5340 variants with different tolerances (A for ±10%, D for ±1%) or standard packaging. Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5340 or SMBG5340 are available for space-constrained designs.
