1N5352AE3/TR13

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5352AE3/TR13 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 15 V with a tolerance of ±10%. The device features a T-18 axial leaded plastic package and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic impedance of 2.5 Ohms, a maximum reverse current of 1.0 µA, and a maximum regulator current of 6.3 A when adequately heat sunk.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile integration
• Moisture classification is Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B requiring no dry pack

Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic components
• Reference voltage generation in measurement systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the component manufacturer origin, as the part was originally produced by Microsemi before acquisition by Microchip Technology. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging standard per EIA-296. Ensure the RoHS compliant e3 designation aligns with environmental requirements for the intended assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust 5-watt power dissipation capabilities in an axial leaded format. The ±10% tolerance offers a balance between cost and precision for general-purpose regulation tasks. Consider thermal management strategies, as steady-state power ratings depend heavily on adequate heat sinking or PCB copper pad specifications.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5333 through 1N5388B series of silicon Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 V to 200 V. Different suffix letters identify specific voltage tolerances, while the TR suffix indicates tape and reel packaging availability for automated assembly processes.
