1N5363/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5363/TR8 is a silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 30V and a power dissipation rating of 5W. It features a T-18 plastic axial lead package and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The device provides voltage regulation over broad operating current and temperature ranges, characterized by minimal changes in voltage versus current. It withstands high surge stresses and is non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a wide operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses while maintaining minimal voltage variation relative to current changes
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in electronic circuits requiring stable reference voltages
• Protection against transient voltage spikes and surge stresses
• General-purpose voltage clamping applications in industrial equipment

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration when ordering, as it determines tolerance and compliance status. Confirm that the TR8 designation indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Ensure the component meets the required moisture sensitivity level and thermal management specifications for the intended application environment.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 30V Zener voltage with a 5W power rating. Consider the T-18 package dimensions and thermal resistance characteristics for adequate heat sinking. Evaluate the ±5% tolerance associated with the B suffix if tighter voltage accuracy is not critical. Verify compatibility with the target circuit's maximum operating current and ambient temperature constraints.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5.0 watt silicon Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of Zener voltages ranging from 3.3V to 200V. Different tolerances are identified by specific suffix letters on the part number, allowing for precise selection based on circuit requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available as SMBJ5333 to SMBJ5388B or SMBG5333B to SMBG5388B. RoHS compliant versions can be sourced by adding the e3 suffix to the base part number.
