1N5374E3/TR12 is a Zener diode, single component packaged discrete component from Central Semiconductor. The component is designed to provide a low-cost and cost-effective solution to various electronic applications. Because of its excellent electrical performance, price, and quality, along with its low power dissipation, 1N5374E3/TR12 is the perfect choice for any project.

When using 1N5374E3/TR12, it’s important to remember that the electrical rating of the component is established for optimum performance. The maximum power rating (before self-heating becomes excessive) is 500 mW. This value represents the absolute maximum dissipation that can be applied as continuous average power.

The 1N5374E3/TR12 has several important parameters that must be considered when wiring up a circuit. The most important are: forward voltage, reverse voltage, and leakage current. The forward voltage is about 2.4 volts for a 15 Volt Zener. The reverse voltage is 36 volts maximum, and the nominal leakage current is less than 0.1µA.

An ideal application for 1N5374E3/TR12 is a voltage supervisor used to maintain a predetermined system voltage in the event of a power failure. The Zener diode is connected in reverse polarity relative to the power source and is stressed with a higher than normal power supply voltage.

When the operating voltage reaches the Zener breakdown voltage, current will flow through the diode. By having a higher voltage source connected to the Zener diode, it can sense an increase or decrease in the line voltage. Once the line voltage rises, the Zener diode also becomes forward biased and begins to conduct, effectively acting as a voltage supervisor. This allows the system to remain stable even if the power supply is not so.

In addition to its use as a voltage supervisor, 1N5374E3/TR12 is also widely used for voltage regulation, transient protection, and hybrid solutions. It is ideal for use in AC/DC or DC/DC switch mode power supplies, and its compact size makes it particularly attractive for small and compact applications.

The 1N5374E3/TR12 is a high-quality diode that provides reliable results in multiple applications. With its superior electrical characteristics, superior quality, and cost-effective pricing, 1N5374E3/TR12 is the perfect choice for any project that requires a high quality and reliable Zener diode.
