1N5361CE3/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5361CE3/TR8 is a JEDEC registered silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode in the 1N5333-5388B series, housed in a T-18 axial-lead package with tape and reel packaging. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a maximum dynamic impedance of 5.0 ohms at a test current of 50 mA.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Overvoltage protection systems
• Reference voltage generation in electronic instrumentation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the ±2% voltage tolerance and 'e3' indicates RoHS compliance before procurement. Confirm the 'TR8' designation matches the required tape and reel packaging format. Ensure the component meets all environmental and screening requirements for the intended application.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when precise voltage regulation is required with tighter tolerances than standard B or A suffix devices offer. Consider the 5-watt power dissipation capability and thermal resistance characteristics for adequate heat sinking. Verify that the axial lead configuration fits the mechanical constraints of the target PCB design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3V to 200V with various tolerance options identified by suffix letters. These plastic encapsulated devices are designed for applications requiring robust performance and reliable voltage regulation.
