1N5371CE3/TR12

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5371CE3/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 60 V and a ±2% tolerance. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C, features a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 µA at 43 V, and has a dynamic impedance of 40 Ohms. The device utilizes a T-18 axial lead package and is supplied in tape and reel format.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with tight manufacturing tolerances
• Capable of handling high surge stresses and steady-state power dissipation
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring stable reference levels
• Power supply protection against overvoltage conditions
• Clamping applications in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as this specific part number may be subject to discontinuance or limited availability. Confirm that the RoHS compliant e3 suffix matches environmental requirements. Ensure the TR12 tape and reel packaging aligns with automated assembly specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60 V reference with high precision is required. The C suffix indicates a tighter tolerance compared to standard B suffix devices. Consider the thermal resistance and derating curves if operating near the maximum power dissipation limit in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This device belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5-watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V. The e3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance, while the TR12 suffix specifies the tape and reel packaging configuration for automated processing.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 1N5371 variants such as 1N5371B or 1N5371D, provided the voltage tolerance requirements are met. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 5 W power rating and T-18 package dimensions.
