1N5362BG

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The onsemi 1N5362BG is a 5 Watt silicon Zener voltage regulator diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 28 V and ±5% tolerance. It utilizes a Surmetic 40 (DO-201AE) axial lead package featuring a void-free, transfer-molded plastic case over a silicon-oxide passivated junction. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C, though DC conditions are limited to 150°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum dynamic impedance of 6 Ω at the test current and a peak forward surge current rating of up to 180 W for an 8.3 ms pulse width.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon-oxide passivated junction technology for superior operating characteristics and environmental protection.
• Features a robust axial lead plastic package designed for high thermal dissipation and mechanical strain relief.
• Provides guaranteed limits on multiple electrical parameters including Zener voltage, impedance, and leakage current.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

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

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'G' corresponds to the Pb-Free package designation as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the component matches the Surmetic 40 (CASE 017AA) physical outline dimensions. Ensure the procurement documentation references the correct revision level of the 1N5333B/D datasheet to validate the specific electrical tolerances and thermal ratings associated with this manufacturing lot.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 28 V reference is required with a 5 W power handling capability. The axial lead configuration facilitates through-hole mounting on standard PCBs or chassis mounts. Consider the low dynamic impedance for applications requiring stable regulation under varying load currents. Verify that the ambient operating temperature does not exceed the derating curve limits defined in the thermal characteristics section.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N53 Series of 5 Watt Zener regulators produced by onsemi. The series covers a wide voltage range from 3.3 V to 200 V, all sharing the same Surmetic 40 package and passivation technology. The 'B' suffix denotes the ±5% tolerance band, while the 'G' suffix indicates compliance with lead-free packaging standards.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 28 V nominal Zener voltage, 5 W power rating, and DO-201AE axial package. Other manufacturers producing JEDEC-compliant 1N5362 devices are functionally equivalent provided they meet the specified impedance and leakage current limits.
