1N5383CE3/TR8

Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5383CE3/TR8 is a silicon Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 150 V and a tolerance of ±2%. It features a maximum power dissipation of 5.0 watts at 25°C, a test current of 8.0 mA, and a maximum dynamic impedance of 330 ohms. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and utilizes a T-18 axial lead package.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with tight tolerances for stable circuit performance
• Capable of handling high surge stresses and steady-state currents when adequately heat sunk
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for versatile integration

Applications

• Voltage regulation in broad operating current and temperature ranges
• High surge stress protection applications
• Circuits requiring minimal changes of voltage versus current

Procurement Notes

Verify the component matches the exact JEDEC registered series specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status indicated by the e3 suffix. Ensure the TR8 packaging designation aligns with tape and reel requirements. Validate that the C suffix corresponds to the required ±2% tolerance level for the specific application needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 150 V Zener voltage with strict ±2% tolerance. Consider the 5-watt power rating and thermal resistance characteristics for adequate heat sinking. Verify compatibility with through-hole mounting methods and ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N5333B thru 1N5388B JEDEC registered series of 5.0 watt Zener diodes. The series offers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 to 200 volts. Different suffix letters identify specific voltage tolerances, while the e3 suffix denotes RoHS compliant devices.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official documentation for verified substitutes within the same JEDEC registered series or equivalent military screening levels.
