1N5361E3/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5361E3/TR8 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. 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. The 'e3' suffix denotes RoHS compliance, while the 'TR' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole applications
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Moisture classification is Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B with no dry pack required

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over broad operating current and temperature ranges
• Circuits requiring high specified maximum current with adequate heat sinking
• Applications needing non-sensitive ESD protection per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffixes match the required specifications: 'B' for ±5% tolerance, 'e3' for RoHS compliance, and 'TR' for tape and reel packaging. Confirm the manufacturer designation as Microchip Technology or its predecessor entity Microsemi. Ensure the component meets the specific electrical characteristics defined in the official datasheet for the 1N5361 type number.

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 package offers low thermal resistance for high DC currents. Consider the ±5% tolerance if tighter precision is not needed. Verify that the application supports the specified operating temperature range and utilizes adequate heat sinking to maintain performance.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context
