1N5359AE3/TR13

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5359AE3/TR13 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, manufactured by the Microsemi Scottsdale Division. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a ±10% tolerance, indicated by the 'A' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features an axial T-18 package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic impedance of 3.5 Ohms and a maximum reverse current of 0.5 µA. The component is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix) and supplied in tape and reel packaging (TR suffix).

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring 5-watt power dissipation.
• Protection against high surge stresses in electronic systems.
• Applications necessitating operation at temperatures up to +150°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the part number includes the e3 suffix for RoHS compliance and TR suffix for tape and reel packaging. Confirm the A suffix indicates the required ±10% voltage tolerance. Check for any specific military screening prefixes if environmental ruggedness is required. Ensure the supplier documentation matches the Microsemi/Microchip datasheet specifications for thermal resistance and power derating curves.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 V Zener reference with ±10% tolerance is needed. The 5-watt power rating allows for high DC currents with adequate heat sinking. Consider the T-18 axial package for through-hole PCB layouts. Verify that the maximum dynamic impedance of 3.5 Ohms meets the circuit's regulation requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -65°C to +150°C range.
