1N5384BRL

Overview

The onsemi 1N5384BRLG is a 5 Watt Zener voltage regulator from the 1N53 Series, housed in an axial lead Surmetic 40 (DO-201AE) package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 160 V with a ±5% tolerance. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +200°C and features silicon-oxide passivated junctions for superior environmental protection.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon-oxide passivated junctions for enhanced reliability
• Offers surge current rating up to 180 W at 8.3 ms pulse width
• Includes built-in strain relief within the transfer-molded plastic case

Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Overvoltage protection for sensitive electronic components
• Reference voltage generation in measurement systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'RL' corresponds to tape and reel packaging containing 4000 units per reel as defined in the datasheet. Confirm that the 'G' suffix is required if lead-free compliance is mandatory for the assembly process. Ensure the component marking matches the specified alphanumeric code for quality assurance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 160 V reference is required with high power dissipation capabilities. The axial lead configuration facilitates through-hole mounting. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating requirements above 25°C to ensure safe operation under continuous load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N53 Series of 5 Watt Zener diodes manufactured by onsemi. The series covers a wide voltage range from 3.3 V to 200 V. The 1N5384B variant specifically targets applications requiring precise voltage clamping at higher potentials within this power class.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 1N5384B equivalents meeting the same electrical specifications and DO-201AE mechanical outline. Verify that any replacement maintains the ±5% tolerance and 5W power rating.
