Product details
Overview
1N4735APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 6.2 V ±5% axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic package, rated for 41 mA test current, 2 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 700 mA maximum regulator current at TA = 50°C. It delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and biasing circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4735APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4735APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4735APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4735APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at TL < 105°C, 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating - all critical for thermal reliability and compliance-driven designs.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 6.2 V reference across a wide current range (1–700 mA), with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its DO-41 plastic package provides lower thermal resistance than glass-body variants and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
Designed for axial-lead through-hole mounting, it features cathode band polarity marking, 1.2 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, and is rated for 260 °C soldering (10 s). The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS compliance; "TR8" denotes EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging with 8 mm carrier tape width.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V ±5% at IZT = 41 mA, TL = 25°C - defines precise regulation point for reference and clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2 Ω at IZT = 41 mA - ensures low AC ripple transmission and tight regulation under varying load |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 700 mA at TA = 50°C - determines peak clamping capability before thermal runaway |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal design using lead temperature as proxy for junction temp |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 μA max at VR = 3 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL), axial-lead plastic molded epoxy case (UL94V-0), 0.7 g weight, cathode indicated by colored band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current sink in reverse bias | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Provides stable 6.2 V reference when reverse-biased; must be held positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N47xxAP series | Industry-standard footprint and electrical behavior - ensures direct compatibility with legacy designs and PCB footprints |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" termination | Matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 - eliminates lead content while maintaining solderability and corrosion resistance |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - reduces handling cost and simplifies SMT line integration |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - enables safe handling in standard assembly environments without special grounding protocols |
| Tape-and-reel "TR8" option | EIA-296 compliant 8 mm carrier tape - supports automated pick-and-place for high-volume production |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in linear regulator circuits or providing precision bias for op-amp comparators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage reference element establishing fixed DC potential independent of input variation. Use Value: Delivers 6.2 V ±5% stability over 1–700 mA operating range, minimizing output drift due to load or line changes. | Use Scenario: Protecting downstream ICs from transient voltage spikes on 5 V or 12 V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt protection device that conducts excess energy to ground when rail exceeds 6.2 V. Use Value: Limits clamping voltage to ≤6.2 V + IZM × ZZT ≈ 7.6 V, preventing latch-up or damage in sensitive logic interfaces. |
| Bias Network Stabilizer | Temperature-Compensated Reference |
Use Scenario: Setting stable base-emitter or gate-source bias points in amplifier stages or sensor front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-voltage anchor in resistive divider networks to counteract transistor parameter spread. Use Value: Maintains bias point within ±5% across −65°C to +150°C, reducing gain drift and offset error in analog signal chains. | Use Scenario: Paired with complementary diodes or thermistors to generate temperature-stable references. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary Zener element whose 6.2 V nominal value exhibits near-zero temperature coefficient when operated near IZK. Use Value: Enables construction of <±50 ppm/°C references using its known TC curve (Figure 3), critical for precision instrumentation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A (non-e3, non-TR) | Same electrical specs but Sn/Pb terminations and bulk packaging - not RoHS-compliant and requires manual loading | Suitable only for legacy non-RoHS production or prototyping where lead-free is not mandated | Select only if environmental compliance and automated assembly are not required |
| MMSZ4702T1G (ON Semiconductor) | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 6.2 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 3 Ω ZZT - lower power and different thermal profile | Used in space-constrained PCBs where through-hole mounting is impractical | Choose for compact layouts; verify thermal margin given 50% lower power rating and higher RθJA |
Compared with 1N4735APE3/TR8, the 1N4735A lacks RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel support, limiting modern manufacturing use; MMSZ4702T1G offers SMT compatibility but requires derating for equivalent power handling and thermal management redesign.

Manufacturer
Microsemi (now part of Microchip Technology) is a U.S.-based semiconductor company specializing in high-reliability analog, RF, and timing solutions for aerospace, defense, and industrial markets.
The 1N47xxAP Zener series was engineered for ruggedized voltage regulation in mission-critical systems, emphasizing thermal robustness, JEDEC standardization, and extended temperature operation - not general-purpose consumer use.
FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4735APE3/TR8?
The 1N4735APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's JEDEC-registered specification. This tolerance is measured at 41 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C.
Does the 1N4735APE3/TR8 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N4735APE3/TR8 does not require dry packing. It is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking or humidity-controlled packaging prior to soldering.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4735APE3/TR8?
The 1N4735APE3/TR8 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating of 700 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating reflects short-duration transient energy absorption capability during overvoltage events.
Can the 1N4735APE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N4735APE3/TR8 uses a DO-41 axial-lead package intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, consider Microsemi's MLL4735A or ON Semiconductor's MMSZ4702T1G, which share the same 6.2 V rating but differ in package, power rating, and thermal performance.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N4735APE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix indicates EIA-296-compliant tape-and-reel packaging with an 8 mm carrier tape width, designed for automated pick-and-place equipment. It confirms factory-loaded reels with standardized orientation, quantity per reel, and leader/trailer dimensions for high-volume manufacturing.
