1N5360B

Overview

The onsemi 1N5360B is a single-channel voltage regulator Zener diode designed for through-hole mounting in a DO-15 axial lead package. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 25 V with a tight tolerance of ±5%. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 5 W and operates within an extended temperature range from -65°C to +200°C junction temperature. Key electrical characteristics include a test current of 50 mA, a maximum Zener impedance of 4 Ω, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 500 nA.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon-oxide passivated junction technology for superior operating characteristics and reliability.
• Features a void-free, transfer-molded thermosetting plastic package providing protection against common environmental conditions.
• Includes built-in strain relief and corrosion-resistant external surfaces with readily solderable leads.

Applications

• General-purpose voltage regulation in industrial equipment.
• Overvoltage protection circuits requiring high surge capability.
• Reference voltage sources in precision measurement instruments.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., BG) to confirm packaging details such as bulk or tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure the procurement order matches the required RoHS compliance status, as standard versions may differ from Pb-Free variants. Confirm that the DO-15 package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 25 V reference is required with high power handling capabilities. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for harsh environments where standard diodes might fail. Consider the low dynamic impedance for applications demanding precise voltage stability under varying load currents.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N53xxB series of 5 Watt Zener diodes, which offers a broad voltage range from 3.3 V to 200 V. The series is characterized by tight limits and enhanced performance due to silicon-oxide passivation. It serves as a robust alternative to lower-power regulators in applications needing significant surge protection.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5360B equivalents, such as those from Diotec Semiconductor or Central Semiconductor. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same DO-15 package, 5 W power rating, and 25 V Zener voltage specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
