1N5362B

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor 1N5362B is a non-planar silicon unidirectional voltage regulator diode designed for commercial and industrial applications. It features a DO-201 axial leaded package with a maximum power dissipation of 5 W at 50°C ambient temperature. The nominal Zener voltage is 28 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. Key electrical characteristics include a test current (IZtest) of 50 mA, a dynamic resistance (rzj) of 6 Ω, and a reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.5 μA at 21.2 V. The device supports a surge current of up to 21.2 A for 8.3 ms pulses and operates within a junction temperature range of -50°C to +150°C.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when ordering, as the 1N5362B designation is utilized by multiple semiconductor producers including Diotec, onsemi, and Micro Commercial Components. Confirm that the component matches the required DO-201 or DO-15 package dimensions and the specified 5 W power rating. Ensure compliance with project-specific material declarations such as RoHS and REACH before finalizing procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 28 V reference point with moderate power handling capabilities. The 5 W rating allows for effective heat dissipation in through-hole layouts without excessive thermal management. Verify that the circuit's operating current remains below the maximum allowable Zener current of 170 mA at 50°C to maintain stable regulation and prevent thermal runaway.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5345B through 1N5388B series of high-power Zener diodes from Diotec Semiconductor. The series covers a wide voltage range from 8.7 V to 200 V, all sharing the same 5 W power dissipation rating and DO-201 mechanical form factor. This family is engineered for robust performance in standard commercial and industrial environments.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers using the 1N5362B designation, such as onsemi or MCC. Verify that substitute parts match the 28 V nominal voltage, 5 W power rating, and DO-201 package outline to ensure physical and electrical compatibility.
