1N5363AE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5363AE3/TR12 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, housed in an axial-lead T-18 package with tape and reel packaging. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 30V with a ±10% tolerance. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features RoHS compliance.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole applications
• Moisture classification is Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B requiring no dry pack

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits
• Surge protection systems
• Power supply reference designs

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the part number includes the 'e3' suffix to confirm RoHS compliance and the 'TR12' suffix to ensure tape and reel packaging. Confirm the 'A' suffix indicates the required ±10% voltage tolerance. Check manufacturer discontinuance notifications as this component family may have limited availability or end-of-life status.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30V Zener voltage with ±10% tolerance is required in a 5W power rating. Ensure adequate heat sinking is provided to handle maximum DC currents due to the low thermal resistance design. Verify that the T-18 axial lead package fits the PCB layout constraints and that the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3V to 200V. Different tolerance levels are identified by specific suffix letters on the part number, such as B for ±5%, A for ±10%, C for ±2%, and D for ±1%. The e3 suffix denotes RoHS compliant devices.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include other 5W Zener diodes with a 30V nominal voltage and ±10% tolerance in a T-18 package. Verify electrical characteristics match before substitution.
