1N5341C/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5341C/TR12 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, manufactured by the Scottsdale Division. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, 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 '/TR12' designation specifies tape and reel packaging compliant with EIA-296 standards.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with ±2% tolerance for sensitive circuit applications
• Capable of handling high maximum DC currents when adequately heat sunk
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal voltage change versus current

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring stable potential
• Overvoltage protection in power supply systems
• Clamping applications in signal processing paths

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Microchip or Microsemi documentation due to historical manufacturing transitions. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs, as performance depends on adequate heat sinking for maximum current operation.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6.2V regulation point with tighter than standard tolerances is required. The C suffix ensures ±2% accuracy compared to the standard B suffix. Consider the 5W power dissipation capability and T-18 package size for board layout constraints. Verify thermal resistance requirements against the application's ambient temperature conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333-5388B series of 5-watt silicon Zener diodes originally developed by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series covers a wide voltage range from 3.3V to 200V. The 1N5341 variant specifically targets the 6.2V regulation segment, offering higher precision than the standard ±5% variants available in the same power class.
