1N5923CPE3/TR12

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5923CPE3/TR12 is a 1.5-watt glass Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 8.2 V and a 2% tolerance. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +175°C, features a DO-41 axial package, and includes RoHS compliance.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass encapsulation for high reliability
• Voltage regulation across broad operating current and temperature ranges
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 method 1020
• Inherently radiation hard construction

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in high-reliability circuits
• Military equivalent screening applications
• High-temperature environments requiring stable breakdown characteristics

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to confirm RoHS compliance and tolerance level. Confirm availability status as manufacturing changes may affect production timelines. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required JEDEC type and screening level for your application.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 2% tolerance at 8.2 V is required in an axial leaded package. The hermetically sealed glass body supports operation up to +175°C junction temperature. Verify that the 1.5 W power dissipation rating aligns with the thermal management design of the target circuit.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the 1N5913BG–1N5956BG series of 1.5 W glass Zener diodes manufactured by Microsemi (now Microchip). The series offers voltages from 3.3 V to 200 V with various tolerance options. The 'C' suffix denotes a 2% voltage tolerance, while 'e3' indicates RoHS compliance.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include 1N5923BPE3/TR12 (5% tolerance) or 1N5923APE3/TR12 (10% tolerance). For non-RoHS requirements, consider the 1N5923C variant without the e3 suffix.
