1N5384E3/TR13

Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 1N5384E3/TR13 is a silicon Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333B to 1N5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 160 V with a ±5% tolerance, indicated by the 'B' suffix. 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-lead T-18 case with RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating, it is supplied in tape and reel format per EIA-296 standards.

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 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 high surge stresses
• General purpose voltage reference applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific 160 V Zener voltage and ±5% tolerance requirements. Confirm the presence of the 'e3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance and the 'TR13' suffix confirms tape and reel packaging. Ensure the supplier documentation references the correct Microsemi datasheet for the 1N5333B-1N5388B series to validate electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 160 V Zener voltage with tight ±5% tolerance is required for high-power applications. The 5-watt power dissipation capability allows operation at high maximum DC currents provided adequate heat sinking is utilized. The T-18 package offers low thermal resistance compared to lower power options, making it suitable for robust voltage regulation designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi 1N5333B through 1N5388B series of silicon 5-watt Zener diodes. The series covers a wide selection of voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V. The 'e3' suffix denotes RoHS compliant devices, while the 'B' suffix specifies the standard ±5% voltage tolerance. These plastic encapsulated diodes are designed for applications requiring high surge stress withstand capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Surface mount equivalents such as SMBJ5333 to SMBJ5388B or SMBG5333B to SMBG5388B are available. Other tolerances can be found using C (±2%) or D (±1%) suffixes. Military screening levels JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV are available with MQ, MX, or MV prefixes respectively.
