Product details
Overview
1N5364/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 33 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 40 mA test current, 10 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT, and 150 mA maximum Zener current when adequately heat-sunk. It serves as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5364/TR8 datasheet, 1N5364/TR8 pinout, 1N5364/TR8 application, or 1N5364/TR8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC T-18 package details, and validated alternatives for industrial power management and voltage stabilization designs.
Technical Context
The 1N5364/TR8 operates as a shunt-regulating device with stable reverse-biased breakdown at 33 V under DC conditions. Its low dynamic impedance (≤10 Ω) ensures minimal voltage variation across 10–50% of IZM, and its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable 5 W dissipation with 3/8″ lead length heat sinking.
Designed for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C, it features moisture sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020B, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and cathode identification via axial band. It withstands non-recurrent 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 150 A and exhibits ≤3.5 V voltage regulation (ΔVZ) across its rated current range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±5% at 40 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5364B | Same 33 V ±5%, 5 W rating, but in bulk (non-tape-and-reel) packaging; no TR8 suffix | Identical electrical function; differs only in packaging format and reel quantity (TR8 = 800 pcs/reel) | Select 1N5364/TR8 for automated SMT placement; choose 1N5364B for hand-soldered prototyping or low-volume builds |
| SMBJ5364B | Surface-mount SMB package; same 33 V ±5% and 5 W rating; higher thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient ≈ 85 °C/W) | Requires PCB layout change; unsuitable for axial-leaded sockets or legacy through-hole boards | Choose SMBJ5364B only when board space constraints mandate SMT or when reflow compatibility is required |
Compared with 1N5364/TR8, the 1N5364B offers identical regulation performance with simpler logistics for small batches, while SMBJ5364B trades axial-mount flexibility for compact footprint-neither is pin-compatible due to differing form factors and mounting methods.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5364/TR8?
The 1N5364/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its part number. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls within 31.35 V to 34.65 V when measured at 40 mA DC test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C, and the 1N5364/TR8 is fully compliant with JEDEC registration requirements for the 1N53xxB family.
Can the 1N5364/TR8 be used without a heatsink?
The 1N5364/TR8 can operate at full 5 W dissipation only with adequate heat sinking-specifically, a 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body acting as a thermal path. Without that lead length or supplemental heatsinking, its steady-state power rating drops to 1.47 W on FR4 PCB (1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pad). For continuous 5 W operation, direct PCB copper pour or chassis mounting is required; standalone use at full power without thermal management risks exceeding 150 °C junction temperature and permanent degradation.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N5364/TR8?
"TR8" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, containing 800 units per reel. This format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The "TR" denotes tape-and-reel, and "8" specifies the reel quantity. Electrically and mechanically, 1N5364/TR8 is identical to 1N5364B-the base part number-but the TR8 variant supports high-volume manufacturing workflows requiring consistent feeding and traceability.
How does the 1N5364/TR8 perform under surge conditions?
The 1N5364/TR8 is rated for a maximum non-recurrent surge current (IZSM) of 150 A, defined as the peak of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. During such events, it clamps at approximately 33 V ±5% and absorbs the transient energy without parametric shift or failure, provided the surge occurs infrequently and ambient temperature remains within spec. Its robust construction-including void-free epoxy and annealed tin-plated leads-ensures reliability in lightning-induced or inductive-switching surge environments.
Is the 1N5364/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5364/TR8 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in Microsemi's official documentation and product marking. It uses RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating on leads per J-STD-609A Class 1 and void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation. No lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances exceed EU Directive 2011/65/EU thresholds, and the device is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
