1N5364B TR

Overview

The Central Semiconductor Corp 1N5364B TR is a silicon Zener diode rated for 5 watts of power dissipation. It operates within the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series and utilizes an SMC molded plastic case with UL flammability classification 94V-0 epoxy. The device features MIL-STD-202E method 208C guaranteed leads and allows mounting in any position. It is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• High current capability with low leakage characteristics
• Low forward voltage drop design
• Cost-effective construction using molded plastic cases
• Guaranteed lead integrity per military testing standards

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring high power handling
• Overvoltage protection systems
• Reference voltage generation in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required plating configuration, as adding specific suffixes changes the physical finish rather than electrical function. Confirm the manufacturer is Central Semiconductor Corp, as other vendors produce similar part numbers. Ensure the package type aligns with the SMC footprint requirements for your PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt Zener diode is required for high-power applications. Consider the SMC package dimensions for thermal management and board space constraints. Evaluate the need for specific lead plating options based on environmental compliance or soldering process requirements before finalizing the order.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Central Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings within the same mechanical form factor. The 'TR' suffix indicates the device is supplied in a tape and reel format suitable for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Central Semiconductor lists CZ5364B as the replacement for the discontinued 1N5364B.
