1N5364B

Overview

The Microsemi 1N5364B is a silicon Zener diode belonging to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 33V with a standard tolerance of plus or minus 5%, indicated by the 'B' suffix. The device is rated for a maximum DC power dissipation of 5W and utilizes a T-18 axial leaded plastic package. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• JEDEC registered reliability for consistent performance
• Low thermal resistance design supporting high DC currents
• Moisture classification Level 1 requiring no dry pack storage

Applications

• Voltage regulation in industrial equipment
• Overvoltage protection for power inputs
• High-reliability military and aerospace circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Rectron Semiconductor also produces this part number. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as Microsemi offers both compliant and non-compliant variants. Ensure the package type matches the required T-18 axial lead configuration for the intended circuit board layout.

Selection Notes

Select based on the required 33V regulation point and 5W power handling capability. Consider the 5% tolerance if precise voltage control is not critical. Evaluate thermal management requirements, as adequate heat sinking is necessary to maintain performance at maximum DC currents due to the device's thermal characteristics.

Part Context

This component is part of a broad family of 5-watt Zener diodes ranging from 3.3V to 200V. The series provides various tolerance options identified by suffix letters, allowing designers to choose between standard and tight voltage specifications for different application needs.
