3EZ5.6D5/TR8

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The Microsemi Corporation 3EZ5.6D5/TR8 is a single silicon Zener diode designed for voltage regulation applications. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%. The device is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 1.25 W and utilizes the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial leaded plastic package. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides precise voltage regulation with a 5.6 V nominal breakdown voltage.
• Capable of handling up to 1.25 W of power dissipation in a standard axial package.
• Engineered for reliable operation across an extended industrial temperature range.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage reference circuits
• Overvoltage protection stages
• General-purpose voltage regulation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microsemi or Microchip distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as historical data indicates potential non-compliance for specific suffixes. Ensure the TR8 tape and reel packaging matches assembly requirements. Validate that the 5% tolerance aligns with circuit design specifications before procurement.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 5.6 V reference is required in a through-hole configuration. The 1.25 W rating supports moderate current loads without excessive heat sinking. Consider the DO-41 footprint compatibility during PCB layout. Evaluate thermal management needs if operating near the upper temperature limit.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Microsemi 3EZ series of axial-leaded Zener diodes. The series offers various voltage options within the DO-41 plastic package. The 'D5' suffix typically denotes a 5% tolerance variant. These components are widely used in discrete semiconductor applications requiring robust voltage clamping.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 5.6 V, 1.25 W Zener diodes in the DO-41 package from manufacturers such as Vishay or ON Semiconductor. Verify electrical parameters including dynamic impedance and reverse leakage current match the original design constraints.
