1N5383AE3/TR13

Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5383AE3/TR13 is a silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 150V and a power dissipation rating of 5.0 watts at 25°C. It features an axial-lead T-18 package, ±10% voltage tolerance, and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. The device includes RoHS compliance indicated by the e3 suffix and tape-and-reel packaging via the TR suffix.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for secure installation

Applications

• Voltage regulation in electronic circuits
• Surge protection applications
• General-purpose discrete semiconductor designs

Procurement Notes

Verify that the part number matches the exact specifications required for your design, including the specific tolerance and package type. Confirm the presence of the 'e3' suffix for lead-free compliance and the 'TR' suffix for tape-and-reel packaging. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions given the 5-watt power dissipation rating.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150V Zener diode with a 5-watt power rating is needed. Consider the ±10% tolerance if tighter precision is not required. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics and ensure adequate heat sinking is available to maintain performance within the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the JEDEC registered 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of axial-leaded 5.0 watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 to 200 volts. The 1N5383A variant specifically provides a 150V regulation point within this extensive lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available as SMBJ5333 to SMBJ5388B or SMBG5333B to SMBG5388B.
