1N5341B

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5341B is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, housed in an axial-lead T-18 plastic package. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a maximum dynamic impedance of 1.0 Ohm at a test current of 200 mA. It withstands high surge currents up to 765 A (8.3 ms pulse) and maintains low reverse leakage current.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits for microcontrollers and sensors
• Overvoltage protection for power supply inputs
• General-purpose clamping and reference applications

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the datasheet requirements. Confirm that the component meets the necessary military screening levels if applicable, as prefixes like MQ, MX, or MV indicate different screening standards. Ensure the ordering details match the required tolerance and packaging options such as tape and reel availability.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.2V regulation point is required with a 5W power dissipation capacity. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves for proper heat sinking. Verify compatibility with the system's operating temperature range and ensure the axial lead form factor fits the mechanical constraints of the PCB layout.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3V to 200V. The 'B' suffix specifically denotes a standard voltage tolerance of plus/minus 5%, distinguishing it from other tolerance variants available in the same family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available as SMBJ5341B or SMBG5341B. RoHS compliant versions may be identified by adding the e3 suffix to the part number.
