1N5360C/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5360C/TR12 is a single silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 25V and a tight tolerance of ±2%. It features a maximum power dissipation of 5W at 25°C, a test current of 50mA, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5µA. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and utilizes a T-18 axial lead package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and maintains minimal voltage changes versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile installation

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in electronic circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the ±2% tolerance requirement. Confirm the 'TR12' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging per EIA-296 standards. Ensure the component meets the required thermal resistance specifications for the intended heat sinking method.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 25V reference is needed with low tolerance. Consider the 5W power rating and thermal resistance of 25°C/W junction-to-lead for adequate heat sinking. Verify compatibility with the T-18 through-hole package dimensions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers voltages from 3.3V to 200V. The 'C' suffix specifically denotes a tighter ±2% voltage tolerance compared to standard B or A suffixes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include other 1N5360 variants with matching tolerances. Surface mount equivalents are available as SMBJ5360 or SMBG5360.
