1N5360C/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5360C/TR8 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 25 volts with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 2 percent, indicated by the C suffix. The device operates in a T-18 axial-lead package and supports a test current of 50 milliamperes. It withstands operating temperatures ranging from -65 degrees Celsius to +150 degrees Celsius.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across broad operating current and temperature ranges
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole applications
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes of voltage versus current
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Reference voltage generation in electronic systems
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive components

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the C suffix indicates a 2% tolerance. Confirm the TR8 suffix corresponds to tape and reel packaging as specified in the datasheet. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs due to the 5-watt power dissipation rating.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is required within a 2% tolerance band. Consider the 5-watt power dissipation capability and the T-18 package size for mechanical fit. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the intended mounting method, whether lead-mounted or PCB-mounted, to ensure operation within the specified temperature range.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi, now part of Microchip Technology. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 to 200 volts. The 1N5360 variant specifically targets the 25-volt regulation point with enhanced precision provided by the C suffix designation.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available in SMBJ5333 to SMBJ5388B or SMBG5333B to SMBG5388B packages. RoHS compliant versions can be identified by adding the e3 suffix to the part number.
