1N5361AE3/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5361AE3/TR8 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It features an axial-leaded plastic encapsulated body with a nominal Zener voltage of 27 volts and a ±10% tolerance, indicated by the 'A' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and includes RoHS compliance via the 'e3' suffix for tin-plated terminals. Packaged in tape and reel format per EIA-296 standards as denoted by the 'TR8' suffix, it provides voltage regulation over a broad operating current and temperature range.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides voltage regulation across a wide operating current and temperature range
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for standard PCB integration
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal voltage change versus current
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring 5-watt power dissipation
• Power supply protection against overvoltage conditions
• Reference voltage generation in industrial electronic systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required specifications: 'A' for ±10% tolerance, 'e3' for RoHS-compliant tin plating, and 'TR8' for tape and reel packaging. Confirm the manufacturer origin is Microsemi/Microchip Scottsdale Division. Ensure the component meets the specified JEDEC registration standards for the 1N5361 series before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 27-volt Zener reference with ±10% tolerance is required in a 5-watt axial package. The 'e3' suffix ensures environmental compliance for lead-free assembly processes. The 'TR8' suffix indicates bulk tape-and-reel handling suitable for automated placement equipment, distinguishing it from bulk or tube-packaged variants.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi Scottsdale Division 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a voltage selection from 3.3V to 200V with various tolerance options. The 1N5361 variant specifically targets the 27-volt application point within this broader regulatory family, utilizing a void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy body meeting UL94V-0 flammability ratings.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1N5361 variants with different tolerances (e.g., 1N5361B for ±5%) or packaging. Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5361 are available for space-constrained designs. Verify thermal resistance requirements match the new component's junction-to-lead characteristics.
