1N5365AE3/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5365AE3/TR8 is a JEDEC registered silicon 5.0-watt Zener diode in the axial-leaded T-18 package. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a ±10% tolerance, indicated by the 'A' suffix. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features RoHS compliance via the 'e3' suffix. Electrical characteristics include a maximum dynamic impedance of 11 Ohms and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA.

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 demonstrates minimal voltage change versus current
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Protection against voltage spikes and transients
• Reference voltage generation in electronic systems

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffixes on the component marking to confirm the exact voltage tolerance and lead plating composition. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the manufacturer designation aligns with current corporate structures following industry acquisitions.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 V regulation point is required with moderate precision. The 5 W power rating supports high current applications provided adequate heat sinking is implemented. Verify thermal resistance requirements against the intended mounting method, as steady-state power dissipation varies significantly between free-air and PCB-mounted configurations.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt Zener diodes originally developed by Microsemi. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V. The 'TR8' suffix indicates the component is supplied in a tape and reel format suitable for automated assembly processes.
