1N5365AE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5365AE3/TR12 is a silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series, manufactured by the Microsemi Scottsdale Division. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a ±10% tolerance. The device features an axial-lead T-18 plastic encapsulated package and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 0.5 µA and a dynamic impedance of 11 Ω.

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 5W power dissipation
• Power supply reference designs
• Protection against overvoltage conditions

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet revision status before procurement. Confirm that the specific suffixes match the required tolerance and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions given the 5W power rating. Check for any discontinuance notifications or lifecycle status updates from the manufacturer.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36V Zener voltage with ±10% tolerance is required. Consider the T-18 axial lead package for through-hole applications. Evaluate thermal derating requirements based on ambient temperature and mounting method. Compare dynamic impedance and leakage current specifications against circuit sensitivity requirements.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333-5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes originally developed by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3V to 200V. The 'e3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance, while 'TR12' denotes tape and reel packaging options available for the standard axial-lead form factor.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: 1N5365BG (onsemi), 1N5365BRLG (onsemi), 1N5938BRLG (onsemi). Verify electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions match application requirements before substitution.
