1N5360CE3/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5360CE3/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 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. 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 dynamic impedance of 4.0 ohms, a maximum reverse current of 0.5 µA, and a maximum regulator current of 4.3 A.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

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

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings against official datasheet specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the e3 suffix and ensure the TR8 tape and reel packaging matches project requirements. Validate electrical parameters such as Zener voltage and dynamic impedance against incoming inspection data before integration into production lines.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is required with tight tolerance constraints. The 5-watt power dissipation rating supports high-current applications provided adequate heat sinking is implemented. Ensure the T-18 through-hole package fits the PCB layout and verify that the 25 V Zener voltage aligns with the circuit design specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V with various tolerance options identified by suffix letters. The C suffix specifically denotes a ±2% voltage tolerance, distinguishing it from standard B (±5%) or A (±10%) variants.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other 1N53xx devices with matching voltage ratings and tolerances. Surface mount equivalents are available in the SMBJ5333 to SMBJ5388B series. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance when transitioning between package types.
