1N5359CE3/TR13

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5359CE3/TR13 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 24 volts with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the 'B' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a T-18 axial-lead package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic impedance of 3.5 ohms and a maximum reverse current of 0.5 microamperes. The component is RoHS compliant (e3 suffix) and available in tape and reel packaging (TR13 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 applications.
• 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 sources in measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance requirements and packaging format. The 'e3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while 'TR13' specifies tape and reel packaging. Confirm that the manufacturer's datasheet aligns with your design specifications before procurement, as product availability and screening levels may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt axial-lead Zener diode with a 24-volt nominal rating is required. Ensure the application can accommodate the specified thermal resistance and power dissipation limits. Verify that the ±5% voltage tolerance meets the circuit's precision requirements. Consider the operating temperature range and mounting method to ensure compatibility with the system's environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3V to 200V with various tolerance options. These devices are designed for applications requiring robust voltage regulation and high surge current handling capabilities in a plastic encapsulated axial-lead package.

Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5359 or SMBG5359 are available from the same series. For direct replacement, verify that the substitute component matches the 5-watt power dissipation, 24-volt Zener voltage, and ±5% tolerance specifications. Ensure the alternative package type is compatible with the existing PCB layout and mounting constraints.
