1N5341CE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5341CE3/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 6.2 V and ±2% tolerance. It operates in the -65°C to +150°C range, dissipating up to 5 W at 25°C lead temperature. The device features a maximum reverse current of 1 µA at 3 V and a dynamic impedance of 1 Ω. Packaged in an axial T-18 case with tape-and-reel suffix TR12, it provides stable voltage regulation across broad operating currents.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring high stability
• Power supply protection against overvoltage conditions
• Clamping applications in electronic systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific C suffix indicates ±2% tolerance rather than standard B suffix ratings. Confirm the TR12 designation aligns with required reel specifications. Ensure thermal management meets the 25°C/W junction-to-lead requirement for optimal performance.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when strict voltage accuracy is critical compared to standard tolerance variants. Consider the T-18 package dimensions for board layout constraints. Evaluate thermal derating curves if ambient temperatures exceed standard operating limits.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt Zener diodes. The e3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance, while the C suffix specifies the tighter voltage tolerance band available for precision applications within this family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute with other parts from the 1N5333B-1N5388B series sharing the same 6.2 V rating and C suffix for equivalent electrical characteristics. Verify mechanical compatibility with the T-18 axial leaded package.
