Product details
Overview
1N5365/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5 W axial-leaded silicon Zener diode with nominal regulation voltage of 36 V, ±5% tolerance (B suffix), 30 mA test current, 11 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum reverse current of 0.5 μA at 27.4 V. It operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5365/TR8 datasheet, 1N5365/TR8 pinout, 1N5365/TR8 application, or 1N5365/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (25 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (160 A), voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 3.3 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator operating in reverse breakdown, maintaining stable output voltage across wide current (30 mA to 160 mA) and temperature (–65 °C to +150 °C) ranges. Its low dynamic impedance (11 Ω) and tight voltage regulation (ΔVZ = 3.3 V) ensure minimal output variation under load transients.
The 1N5365/TR8 uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy T-18 package with cathode band marking, rated for 5 W steady-state dissipation at 25 °C lead temperature, and derates linearly above 25 °C with 25 °C/W thermal resistance junction-to-lead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±5% - defines regulated output voltage under 30 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 5.0 W at TL = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with adequate heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 11 Ω at IZT = 30 mA - determines output voltage stability against current changes |
| Maximum Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 μA at VR = 27.4 V - ensures low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IZSM) | 160 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Voltage Regulation (ΔVZ) | 3.3 V - difference between VZ measured at 10% and 50% of IZM, indicating regulation linearity |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5365B | No TR8 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only | Lacks automated SMT placement compatibility; requires manual or vibratory feed handling | Select when board-level assembly uses hand-soldering or bulk dispensing and tape cost sensitivity is high |
| SMBJ5365B | Surface-mount SMB package (JEDEC DO-214AA); same electrical specs but 125 °C/W RθJA | Requires PCB layout change; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy axial designs | Select for space-constrained, high-volume SMT production where reflow compatibility and board density are prioritized |
Compared with 1N5365/TR8, the 1N5365B lacks tape-and-reel convenience for pick-and-place, while SMBJ5365B trades axial mounting flexibility for surface-mount scalability-both retain identical 36 V ±5% regulation but differ in thermal path and assembly integration.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5365/TR8?
The 1N5365/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "B" suffix in its full designation. This means its actual regulation voltage falls within 34.2 V to 37.8 V at 30 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, as confirmed in Microsemi's official 1N5333B–1N5388B datasheet Rev D.
Does the 1N5365/TR8 require dry packing before soldering?
No, the 1N5365/TR8 does not require dry packing. It carries Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has no floor-life limitation and can be stored and assembled without baking or humidity-controlled environments-verified in the "Mechanical and Packaging" section of the Microsemi datasheet.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N5365/TR8?
The 1N5365/TR8 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IZSM) of 160 A, defined as the peak value of an 8.3 ms half-sine waveform. This rating is specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table and supports transient clamping in industrial power rails without device failure.
Can the 1N5365/TR8 replace the 1N5365B in existing designs?
Yes-the 1N5365/TR8 is functionally and electrically identical to the 1N5365B, differing only in packaging: TR8 denotes EIA-296 tape-and-reel format (8 mm carrier tape, 1000 pcs/reel), whereas 1N5365B is supplied in bulk or ammo pack. No circuit or layout changes are needed for substitution.
What is the forward voltage specification for the 1N5365/TR8?
The forward voltage of the 1N5365/TR8 is specified as a maximum of 1.2 V at 1.0 A forward current, per the "Maximum Ratings" table in the Microsemi datasheet. This parameter applies during forward conduction (anode positive), not during Zener regulation mode.
