1N5352A/TR8

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5352A/TR8 is a silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 15V and a tolerance of ±10%. It features a maximum power dissipation of 5.0 watts at 25°C, operating within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The device utilizes an axial-lead T-18 package and includes a TR suffix for tape and reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal voltage changes versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals in a void-free transfer molded epoxy body

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring 5W power handling
• High surge stress environments
• Applications needing wide selection from 3.3 to 200 volts

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR8' against official documentation to confirm tape and reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the 'e3' designation in the datasheet title. Ensure the component matches the JEDEC registered series requirements for your design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 15V Zener reference with ±10% tolerance. Consider the thermal resistance of 25°C/W junction-to-lead when designing heat sinking. Verify that the T-18 package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip). The series offers various voltage options and tolerances, with the 'A' suffix specifically denoting a ±10% voltage tolerance.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include other 15V 5W Zener diodes from the same series such as 1N5352B or 1N5354B, provided the tolerance requirements align with the application needs.
