1N5341AE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5341AE3/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a ±10% tolerance, indicated by the 'A' suffix. The device operates in a T-18 axial lead package and supports tape and reel packaging via the 'TR' suffix. RoHS compliance is ensured by the 'e3' suffix. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 3.0 µA and a dynamic impedance of 1.0 Ω.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications
