Product details
Overview
1N4735CPE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 6.2 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 41 mA test current, 2 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 700 mA maximum regulator current at 50°C. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4735CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4735CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4735CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4735CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (730 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 6.2 V reference across a wide current range (1–700 mA). Its 2 Ω dynamic impedance at 41 mA ensures low output variation under load transients.
The DO-41 package delivers 45°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length, enabling reliable 1 W dissipation up to 105°C lead temperature. It meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity (Method 1020) and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V ±2% at 41 mA - tight tolerance enables precision reference design without trimming |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - supports continuous regulation in compact linear supplies |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2 Ω at IZT = 41 mA - minimizes output voltage shift during current changes |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 700 mA at TA = 50°C - defines safe operating envelope for shunt regulation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - dictates heatsinking requirement for sustained 1 W operation |
| Reverse Leakage | 10 μA max at VR = 4.96 V - ensures low standby power in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 730 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands transient overloads without degradation |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package with cathode indicated by color band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node when used as shunt regulator |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Banded end; connected to unregulated input; maintains 6.2 V relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Enables direct use in precision references without external calibration or trimming |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3 suffix) | Ensures lead-free assembly compatibility and long-term solderability per MIL-STD-750 |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR12 suffix) | Supports automated SMT placement despite axial form factor via carrier tape handling |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints for production handling |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces handling precautions and eliminates need for ESD-protected workstations |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A | Same 6.2 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) instead of ±2% | Acceptable where reference accuracy <±3% suffices; lower cost | Select 1N4735A only if system-level calibration or wider tolerance bands accommodate ±5% drift |
| BZX84-C6V2 | SOT-23 surface-mount package; same 6.2 V ±5%, 300 mW rating | Used in space-constrained PCBs; unsuitable for 1 W continuous dissipation | Choose BZX84-C6V2 only for low-power, high-density layouts where thermal budget limits dissipation to ≤300 mW |
Compared with 1N4735A and BZX84-C6V2, the 1N4735CPE3/TR12 uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, 1 W power handling, and tape-and-reel readiness-making it optimal for precision, high-reliability through-hole power supply designs requiring no post-assembly trimming.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4735CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4735CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured breakdown voltage at 41 mA test current falls within 6.076 V to 6.324 V at 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports precision reference applications without external adjustment and is confirmed in Microsemi's official 1N4728AP–1N4764AP datasheet Rev C.
Does the 1N4735CPE3/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4735CPE3/TR12 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, as indicated by the "e3" suffix. Its terminations use annealed matte-tin plating instead of tin-lead, and it is certified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability. The device is also moisture sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020B, eliminating dry-pack requirements.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N4735CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4735CPE3/TR12 is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) below 105°C with 10 mm lead length from the body. Derating begins above that temperature at 11.1 mW/°C, per Figure 1 in the Microsemi datasheet. On FR4 board with specified copper pads, full 1 W operation is limited to ambient temperatures below 45°C.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4735CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4735CPE3/TR12 uses a cathode band (typically black or dark stripe) near one end of the DO-41 package to indicate polarity. For proper Zener regulation, the banded end must be held at a higher potential than the unbanded (anode) end. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA, confirming standard silicon diode behavior in forward bias.
What does the "TR12" suffix mean in 1N4735CPE3/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12,000 units per reel. This format enables automated pick-and-place insertion for through-hole assembly lines, despite the DO-41 axial lead configuration. The "TR" denotes tape-and-reel; "12" specifies reel quantity-not voltage, tolerance, or thermal grade.
