1N5363C/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5363C/TR8 is a silicon Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 30V with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 2%. The device operates in a T-18 axial-lead plastic package and supports a maximum power dissipation of 5.0 watts. It features a test current of 40 mA, a maximum reverse current of 0.5 µA, and withstands high surge currents.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over broad operating current and temperature ranges
• High maximum DC current operation with adequate heat sinking
• Surge stress protection in electronic circuits

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix TR8 corresponds to the tape and reel packaging option as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the C suffix indicates the required plus or minus 2% voltage tolerance. Ensure the component meets the specific moisture classification Level 1 requirements without dry pack constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official Microsemi documentation to validate authenticity.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 30V reference with plus or minus 2% tolerance is required. The T-18 package accommodates high thermal loads up to 5 watts. Consider the low dynamic impedance characteristics for stable performance. Verify compatibility with the intended PCB layout for the axial lead configuration.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device 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 suffix letters identify specific voltage tolerances, with the C suffix denoting plus or minus 2% accuracy. The series includes RoHS compliant versions and military screening options.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available in the SMBJ5333 to SMBJ5388B series. Other variants within the same family offer different voltage ratings or tolerance levels.
