1N5365B

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5365B is a silicon unidirectional voltage regulator diode belonging to the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device features a maximum power dissipation of 5.0 watts at 25°C and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a test current of 30 mA, a maximum dynamic impedance of 11 Ohms, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA. The component utilizes an axial-lead T-18 package.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and maintains minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile installation
• Constructed with a void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy body

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over wide operating ranges
• High surge stress environments
• Circuits requiring flexible axial-lead mounting

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required electrical parameters, particularly the 36 V Zener voltage and ±5% tolerance. Confirm the package type is T-18 and ensure compliance with any necessary military screening prefixes if applicable. Check RoHS status based on the suffix, as standard versions may differ from e3 compliant devices.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-watt axial-leaded Zener diode is required for precise voltage clamping or regulation. Ensure adequate heat sinking is provided to maintain operation near the maximum DC current limits. Consider the thermal resistance specifications for PCB mounting scenarios to prevent overheating during steady-state operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component is part of the Microsemi Scottsdale Division 1N5333B through 1N5388B series. These are JEDEC registered silicon Zener diodes offering a voltage selection from 3.3 V to 200 V. The series is designed for applications requiring high reliability and robust performance under varying thermal conditions.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available as SMBJ5365B or SMBG5365B. Other manufacturers producing JEDEC registered 1N5365B parts may be considered if they meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.
