1N5363A/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5363A/TR8 is a silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 30V and a power dissipation rating of 5.0 watts at 25°C. It features an A suffix indicating a ±10% tolerance and utilizes the T-18 plastic axial-lead package. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C, has a maximum dynamic impedance of 8.0 ohms, and includes a TR suffix for tape and reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across broad operating current and temperature ranges
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole applications
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring 5-watt power handling
• Power supply protection against overvoltage conditions
• Reference voltage generation in industrial equipment

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the part number matches the specific JEDEC registered series requirements. Confirm the presence of the 'TR' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging rather than cut tape or bulk. Ensure the 'A' suffix corresponds to the required ±10% voltage tolerance for your design specifications before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30V Zener voltage with 5-watt capability is required. The T-18 package offers low thermal resistance suitable for high DC currents with adequate heat sinking. Consider the ±10% tolerance if tighter precision is not necessary, as other suffixes offer different accuracy levels.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the 1N5333B thru 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series provides a wide selection of voltages from 3.3V to 200V with various tolerance options identified by specific suffix letters on the part number.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

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