1N5359CE3/TR8

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5359CE3/TR8 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 24 volts with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device operates within an ambient temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals in a T-18 package. RoHS compliant, it is supplied in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across broad operating current and temperature ranges
• Withstands high surge stresses and offers minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals suitable for through-hole applications

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring high power dissipation
• Protection against overvoltage conditions in industrial systems
• Reference voltage sources in precision measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific 24V Zener voltage and ±2% tolerance requirements. Confirm the RoHS compliance status indicated by the e3 suffix and ensure the tape and reel packaging aligns with automated manufacturing processes. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to confirm availability and lifecycle status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt power rating and a 24-volt regulation point are required. The ±2% tolerance makes it suitable for applications needing tighter voltage accuracy than standard variants. Ensure adequate heat sinking is provided to maintain performance within the specified thermal resistance limits during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Microsemi (now Microchip) 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 to 200 volts. The 'C' suffix indicates a ±2% voltage tolerance, while the 'e3' suffix denotes RoHS compliance. The 'TR8' suffix specifies the tape and reel packaging format.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other 1N5359 variants with matching electrical characteristics. Verify that any substitute maintains the 5W power rating, 24V Zener voltage, and ±2% tolerance. Ensure the replacement package type and lead configuration match the existing design constraints.
