Product details
Overview
1N5364E3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W, 33 V ±5% axial-leaded silicon Zener diode optimized for voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and precision reference applications. It delivers stable regulation at 33 V with 10 Ω dynamic impedance at 40 mA test current, supports up to 150 mA maximum Zener current when adequately heat-sunk, and operates across –65 °C to +150 °C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5364E3/TR8 datasheet, 1N5364E3/TR8 pinout, 1N5364E3/TR8 application, or 1N5364E3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 33 V nominal Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance (B-suffix), 5 W power rating, low 10 Ω ZZ at IZT, and RoHS-compliant e3 suffix with tape-and-reel TR8 packaging.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its regulation performance is defined by Zener voltage (VZ = 33 V), dynamic impedance (ZZ = 10 Ω at IZT = 40 mA), and voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 3.5 V between 10% and 50% of IZM).
Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W at 3/8″ lead length, enabling 5 W dissipation at TL ≤ 25 °C. Reverse leakage remains ≤0.5 μA at 25.1 V, and forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 1.0 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±5% at 40 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - requires minimum 3/8″ lead length for full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 10 Ω at IZT = 40 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 150 mA - achievable only with adequate heat sinking per thermal derating curve |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 25.1 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.2 V at IF = 1.0 A - enables use as low-loss rectifier in dual-role circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: Axial-leaded T-18 plastic case (Void-free UL94V-0 epoxy), cathode indicated by band. Leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Weight: 0.7 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; supplies stable 33 V when reverse current flows through external series resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener | Complies with industry-standard 1N53xxB family mechanical and electrical definitions |
| RoHS-compliant (e3) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR8) | Standard EIA-296 compliant reel format for automated SMT placement compatibility |
| MIL-STD-750 ESD robustness | Nonsensitive to electrostatic discharge per Method 1020 - eliminates need for special handling |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - simplifies storage and assembly logistics |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5364B | Same 33 V ±5%, but lacks RoHS e3 suffix and TR8 tape-and-reel packaging | Requires manual loading or different reel standard; not suitable for RoHS-compliant production | Select 1N5364B only for legacy non-RoHS builds or prototyping without automated placement |
| SMBJ5364B | Surface-mount SMB package; same 33 V ±5% and 5 W rating, but ZZ = 12 Ω and IZM = 140 mA | Enables PCB space reduction and reflow assembly, but thermal performance differs due to FR4 mounting constraints | Choose SMBJ5364B when board area is constrained and thermal management uses 4 mm² copper pads per datasheet layout guidelines |
Compared with 1N5364E3/TR8, 1N5364B omits RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel convenience, while SMBJ5364B trades axial-mounting flexibility and superior junction-to-lead thermal resistance (25 °C/W) for surface-mount integration at slightly reduced regulation precision and surge capability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5364E3/TR8?
The 1N5364E3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 33 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "B" suffix in its full designation. This tolerance is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C and applies to devices tested at 40 mA Zener test current under standard conditions per JEDEC specifications.
Can the 1N5364E3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N5364E3/TR8 is an axial-leaded T-18 package intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMBJ5364B in SMB package. The 1N5364E3/TR8 itself requires lead forming and wave or hand soldering; its thermal performance is optimized for 3/8″ lead length heat sinking, not PCB pad conduction.
What does the "e3" and "TR8" suffix mean in 1N5364E3/TR8?
The "e3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction (lead-free matte-tin plating and halogen-free epoxy), while "TR8" denotes EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging with 8 mm carrier tape width and 1,000 units per reel. Together, they confirm that the 1N5364E3/TR8 meets environmental compliance requirements and is ready for automated pick-and-place assembly.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5364E3/TR8?
The 1N5364E3/TR8 has a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 150 A, specified as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating assumes proper PCB layout and thermal mass; actual clamping performance depends on series impedance and duration of the transient event applied to the 1N5364E3/TR8.
How does thermal derating affect the 1N5364E3/TR8's power capability?
The 1N5364E3/TR8 is rated for 5.0 W at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 25 °C. Power must be linearly derated above this point at 20 mW/°C (due to 25 °C/W thermal resistance). At TL = 75 °C, for example, maximum dissipation drops to 4.0 W. Mounting on FR4 with 1 oz copper yields only 1.47 W at 25 °C ambient, per datasheet Figure 1.
