1N5383BE3/TR13

Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5383BE3/TR13 is a silicon Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 150 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device features a 5.0-watt power dissipation rating and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Packaged in an axial T-18 leaded format, it includes RoHS compliance indicated by the e3 suffix and tape-and-reel packaging denoted by TR13.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Withstands high surge stresses and offers minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole applications
• Moisture classification is Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B requiring no dry pack

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring high maximum DC currents
• Power supply protection against transient overvoltages
• Reference voltage generation in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific B suffix for ±5% tolerance and the e3 suffix for RoHS compliance. Confirm the TR13 designation indicates tape-and-reel packaging rather than bulk or other formats. Ensure the manufacturer is identified as Microsemi Corporation or its successor entity, Microchip, to guarantee authenticity and traceability of the silicon Zener diode.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150 V Zener voltage with tight ±5% tolerance is required. The 5-watt power rating supports high-current operation if adequate heat sinking is provided. Consider the T-18 axial package for through-hole designs and verify thermal resistance requirements against the derating curves for ambient temperatures exceeding 25°C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of 5.0-watt silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi's Scottsdale Division. The series covers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 to 200 volts. The 1N5383 variant specifically targets the 150-volt regulation segment within this robust axial-leaded product line.

Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents are available in the SMBJ5333-SMBJ5388B or SMBG5333B-SMBG5388B series. Military screening options exist via MQ, MX, or MV prefixes for JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV specifications.
