1N5365/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5365/TR8 is a silicon Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the 'B' suffix. The device features a maximum power dissipation of 5.0 watts and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Packaged in a T-18 axial lead case with a TR suffix for tape and reel delivery, it offers high surge current capability and low thermal resistance.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

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

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic components
• Reference voltage generation in measurement systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific JEDEC registration requirements for your design. Confirm the presence of the TR suffix indicates tape and reel packaging rather than cut tape or bulk. Ensure the B suffix aligns with the required ±5% voltage tolerance. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 V regulation point is required with moderate precision. The 5-watt power rating allows operation at higher currents compared to lower-power variants. Consider the T-18 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-lead thermal resistance for your specific mounting configuration.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt silicon Zener diodes originally manufactured by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 V to 200 V. Different suffix letters identify specific voltage tolerances, while prefixes can denote military screening levels. The TR suffix specifically denotes the tape and reel packaging format.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available as SMBJ5333 through SMBJ5388B or SMBG5333B through SMBG5388B. RoHS compliant versions may be identified by adding an e3 suffix to the base part number.
