1N5359A/TR12

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5359A/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 24 V and ±10% tolerance. It operates in the -65°C to +150°C range, features a T-18 axial lead 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 change versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring 5-watt power dissipation
• High surge stress environments
• Through-hole PCB assembly

Procurement Notes

Verify the component against official datasheets to confirm the specific electrical parameters and physical dimensions. Ensure the TR suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging format for automated assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 V Zener reference with ±10% tolerance is required. The 5-watt rating supports high current applications, while the T-18 package facilitates robust mechanical mounting on printed circuit boards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of axial-leaded 5.0 watt Zeners. The series covers voltages from 3.3 to 200 volts, offering various tolerance options identified by suffix letters such as A, B, C, or D.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include 1N5358A/TR12 (22 V) and 1N5360A/TR12 (25 V). Verify that the replacement maintains the required 5-watt power dissipation and T-18 package compatibility.
