1N5361E3/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5361E3/TR13 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, manufactured by the Microsemi Scottsdale Division. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 27 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 maximum dynamic impedance of 5.0 Ω and a maximum reverse current of 0.5 µA. The component is RoHS compliant due to the e3 suffix and is supplied in tape and reel packaging per EIA-296 standards.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and offers minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole applications
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Reference voltage sources in electronic instrumentation
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive semiconductor components

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the part number includes the 'e3' suffix to confirm RoHS compliance and the 'TR' suffix to ensure tape and reel packaging. Confirm the 'B' suffix indicates the standard ±5% voltage tolerance. Ensure the supplier source aligns with Microchip Technology or authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability for this specific Microsemi-derived component.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt power dissipation rating and a 27 V Zener voltage are required. The T-18 axial lead package is suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. Consider the thermal resistance specifications for heat sinking requirements if operating near maximum DC currents. Verify that the ±5% tolerance meets the design precision needs compared to tighter tolerance options available in the series.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes originally developed by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division.
