1N5360CE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5360CE3/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at 25 volts with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 2 percent, indicated by the C 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 reverse current of 0.5 microamperes and a dynamic impedance of 4.0 ohms.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses while maintaining minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile installation
• Utilizes void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy body meeting UL94V-0 standards

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring high power dissipation
• Surge protection applications utilizing high specified maximum current capabilities
• Equipment requiring robust thermal resistance design with adequate heat sinking

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific component marking and physical dimensions against the official datasheet to confirm authenticity. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tolerance and packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any discontinuance notifications prior to finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt power rating and 25-volt regulation point are required. The C suffix indicates a tighter plus or minus 2 percent tolerance compared to standard B suffix devices. Consider the T-18 package size and thermal resistance characteristics for proper heat sinking requirements in the target application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the extensive 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi, now part of Microchip Technology. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 to 200 volts. The e3 suffix denotes RoHS compliant devices with annealed matte-tin plating on the terminals.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available as SMBJ5360 or SMBG5360. Other manufacturers may offer compatible parts within the same JEDEC registration series, provided they meet the 5-watt power dissipation and 25-volt specification.
