1N5936P/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5936P/TR8 is a 1.5 W glass-encapsulated Zener diode with a nominal voltage of 30 V and a ±2% tolerance. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +175°C, featuring a maximum dynamic impedance of 28 Ohms and a reverse leakage current of 1 µA at 22.8 V. The component utilizes an axial DO-41 package and includes a tape-and-reel suffix for automated surface mounting.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed glass body construction with tungsten slugs for enhanced reliability
• Metallurgically enhanced internal contact design providing lower thermal resistance
• Non-sensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 method 1020
• Inherently radiation hard as described in Microsemi MicroNote 050

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation over broad operating currents and temperatures
• High reliability applications requiring hermetic sealing
• Radiation-hardened circuit designs

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TR8' against official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as commercial versions may differ from screened equivalents. Ensure the selected variant matches the required JEDEC type number and tolerance level for your application.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 V Zener reference with tight ±2% tolerance is required. The axial lead configuration supports through-hole or flexible mounting. Consider the high junction temperature rating for environments exceeding standard commercial limits. Verify that the 1.5 W power dissipation meets the thermal requirements 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 Microchip Technology (formerly Microsemi). The series offers a wide voltage selection from 3.3 V to 200 V with various tolerance options. The P suffix indicates a plastic-body equivalent, while the BG suffix denotes the hermetically sealed glass version available in this family.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Equivalent part numbers include 1N5936BG for the hermetically sealed glass version. Surface mount alternatives within the same series are available in DO-213AB (MELF), SMB, SMAJ, and Powermite packages.
