3EZ3.6D5/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 3EZ3.6D5/TR8 is a single silicon Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The component has a maximum power dissipation rating of 3 W and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 150°C. It utilizes the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial-leaded plastic package, providing two pins for through-hole mounting.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation with a 3.6 V nominal breakdown voltage
• Capable of handling up to 3 W of power dissipation under adequate heat conditions
• Constructed with a silicon junction in a durable plastic encapsulated DO-41 package

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring 3.6 V reference
• Overvoltage protection for low-voltage electronic systems
• Clamping applications in DC power supplies

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D5' indicates the 5% tolerance variant as documented in the official datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as lead-free designations may vary by manufacturing batch or revision. Ensure the TR8 tape-and-reel packaging matches the required assembly equipment specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3.6 V regulation point is required with a 3 W power rating. The DO-41 package is suitable for general-purpose through-hole designs. Consider the ±5% tolerance if tighter voltage accuracy is not critical. Verify thermal management requirements are met for full-power operation at elevated ambient temperatures.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 3EZ series of axial-leaded Zener diodes from Microsemi. The series covers a wide voltage range from 3.9 V to 200 V with consistent 3 W power ratings. The 3EZ3.6D5/TR8 specifically addresses the lower end of the voltage spectrum, offering a standard 3.6 V option in the same robust plastic package format used across the family.
