1N5365CE3/TR8

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5365CE3/TR8 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode in the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device features a T-18 axial lead 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.

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 voltage change versus current
• Constructed with a void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy body

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring high power dissipation
• Power supply protection against overvoltage conditions
• Reference voltage generation in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings and datasheet alignment. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the e3 suffix documentation. Ensure proper heat sinking is utilized during installation to maintain thermal resistance specifications and prevent junction overheating beyond rated limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding precise voltage control with a ±2% tolerance. The 5-watt power rating supports high-current regulation tasks when adequate thermal management is provided. Verify that the required Zener voltage aligns with the 36V specification and that the T-18 package fits the target PCB layout constraints.
