1N5342AE3/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5342AE3/TR8 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333 to 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation with a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 volts and a standard tolerance of plus or minus 10 percent, indicated by the 'A' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a maximum reverse current of 7.5 microamperes at a test voltage of 6.2 volts. It utilizes an axial-lead T-18 package and includes a tape and reel option for automated assembly.

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required specifications. The 'e3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while the 'TR' suffix confirms tape and reel packaging. Confirm the 'A' designation aligns with the necessary plus or minus 10 percent voltage tolerance. Ensure the manufacturer source is validated against official documentation before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt power dissipation rating is required for high-current regulation tasks. The 6.2-volt nominal voltage suits specific reference needs within the series. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and heat sinking requirements for maintaining performance at elevated temperatures. Verify compatibility with existing circuit layouts due to the axial lead configuration.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 to 200 volts. These devices are designed for applications requiring robust voltage regulation with low thermal resistance and high surge current capability.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent 5-watt Zener diodes in the T-18 package. Verify that substitute parts meet the same electrical parameters, including the 6.2-volt nominal voltage and 10 percent tolerance. Ensure mechanical dimensions and pinout configurations match the original design requirements.
