1N5360E3/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5360E3/TR8 is a silicon 5-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 ±5% tolerance, indicated by the 'B' 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 test current of 50 mA, a maximum dynamic impedance of 4.0 ohms, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal voltage change versus current variations
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for secure installation
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) 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 equipment

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity against official Microchip Technology documentation. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required electrical tolerances and packaging format. Ensure compliance with applicable environmental standards and check for any product discontinuance notifications prior to finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 V regulation point is required with a 5-watt power dissipation capability. The ±5% tolerance suits applications requiring standard precision. Consider the thermal resistance and derating curves if operating near maximum ambient temperatures or without adequate heat sinking.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B-1N5388B series of 5-watt silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V. The 'e3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while the 'TR' suffix denotes tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for direct cross-references. Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5360 or SMBG5360 may be considered for space-constrained designs, provided voltage and power ratings are matched.
