1N5362CE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5362CE3/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333 to 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 28 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the 'C' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features RoHS compliance via the 'e3' suffix. Packaged in an axial-lead T-18 case, it is supplied in tape and reel format as specified by the 'TR12' suffix.

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 voltage change versus current
• Constructed with a void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy body

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring precise tolerance
• Power supply protection against overvoltage conditions
• Reference voltage generation in electronic systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer origin, as the 1N5362 part number is historically associated with multiple vendors including Microsemi and onsemi. Confirm that the 'e3' suffix denotes lead-free RoHS compliance and the 'TR12' suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging specifications for your assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 28 V reference with ±2% accuracy is required. Ensure adequate heat sinking is provided to maintain power dissipation within the 5-watt limit. Verify that the axial-lead T-18 package fits the board layout constraints and that the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt silicon Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V. The 'C' suffix specifically designates the tighter ±2% voltage tolerance compared to the standard ±5% 'B' suffix devices.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering 28 V, 5 W Zener diodes with ±2% tolerance. Ensure mechanical dimensions of the T-18 package and electrical parameters like dynamic impedance are compatible.
