1N5364C/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5364C/TR12 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333 to 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the C suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a T-18 axial lead package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 0.5 µA, a dynamic impedance of 10 Ohms, and a maximum regulator current of 3.5 A when adequately heat sunk.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring high power dissipation
• Power supply reference applications
• Protection against overvoltage conditions

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the ±2% tolerance requirement for your design. Confirm the 'TR12' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging compatible with automated assembly equipment. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure adequate thermal management is planned given the 5W power rating.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 33V reference with tighter than standard tolerances is needed. The C suffix ensures ±2% accuracy compared to the standard B suffix. Consider the T-18 package size for physical constraints. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on the intended mounting method and ambient temperature conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip Technology). The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3V to 200V. Different suffix letters identify specific voltage tolerances, allowing designers to choose between standard and tight tolerance options for various precision applications.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts within the same series include 1N5364B (±5% tolerance) or 1N5364D (±1% tolerance). Verify that substitute components match the 5W power dissipation and T-18 package dimensions.
