1N5372B-AP

Overview

The 1N5372B-AP is a 5-watt Zener diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a nominal Zener voltage of 62V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device utilizes a silicon planar structure and is housed in a DO-15 axial leaded package. Designed for robust performance, it offers excellent clamping capability and operates within a standard temperature range suitable for general-purpose voltage regulation applications.

Feature Summary

• High power dissipation rating of 5 watts for stable operation under load
• Excellent clamping capability to protect sensitive circuit components
• Glass passivated junction for improved reliability and stability

Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Overvoltage protection for electronic systems
• Reference voltage sources in analog circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AP indicates the axial DO-15 package configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by your assembly standards. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets from MCC to validate electrical parameters against design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 62V regulation point is required with high power handling capabilities. The DO-15 package allows for through-hole mounting on PCBs or chassis. Consider thermal management requirements due to the 5W dissipation rating during continuous operation in regulated circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N53xx series of 5-watt Zener diodes produced by MCC. The series covers a wide range of voltage values from 3.3V to 200V. The 1N5372B-AP specifically addresses the 62V segment, providing a standardized solution for industrial and commercial power electronics requiring reliable voltage reference or protection.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 1N5372B from other manufacturers such as Diodes Incorporated or ON Semiconductor. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same 62V Zener voltage, 5W power rating, and DO-15 package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
