Product details
Overview
1N4735CPE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 6.2 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 41 mA test current and 700 mA maximum regulator current at 50°C, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4735CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4735CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4735CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its tight 2% Zener voltage tolerance, low 2 Ω dynamic impedance at 41 mA, -65°C to +150°C operating range, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with cathode-banded polarity, requiring the banded end to be held positive relative to the anode for regulation. Its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero (±0.05%/°C typical), enabling stable reference performance across industrial temperature ranges.
The device delivers 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature <105°C (3/8" from body) or ambient <45°C on FR4 board with defined copper pad geometry. Thermal resistance is 45°C/W junction-to-lead and 105°C/W junction-to-ambient under specified mounting conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A | Same 6.2 V rating but ±5% tolerance (A suffix), no RoHS or tape-and-reel designation | Acceptable where calibration margin permits wider voltage spread; not qualified for lead-free assembly | Select 1N4735CPE3/TR8 when ±2% tolerance and RoHS compliance are required for production release |
| BZX55C6V2 | 6.2 V ±5%, DO-35 glass package, 500 mW rating, different thermal profile | Limited to lower-power applications; incompatible with high-current shunt or high-temp PCB layouts | Choose 1N4735CPE3/TR8 for 1 W operation, DO-41 mechanical robustness, and industrial temperature support |
Compared with 1N4735A and BZX55C6V2, the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 offers tighter voltage control, higher power handling, RoHS compliance, and tape-and-reel readiness-making it optimal for volume-manufactured industrial and automotive power systems requiring long-term calibration stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4735CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4735CPE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its measured breakdown voltage at 41 mA test current falls between 6.076 V and 6.324 V at 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance improves accuracy in feedback and reference applications compared to standard ±5% variants like the 1N4735A.
Does the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 support lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating (indicated by the "e3" suffix) and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds maximum. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, eliminating the need for dry-packaging prior to assembly.
What is the maximum continuous current the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 can regulate at 50°C ambient?
At 50°C ambient temperature, the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 700 mA. This value is derived from its 1.0 W power rating and thermal derating curve, ensuring safe operation when mounted on FR4 with specified copper pad geometry. Exceeding this current risks thermal runaway or parametric shift.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4735CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4735CPE3/TR8 uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held positive relative to the unbanded (anode) end during Zener regulation. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-41 standards and is laser-etched or molded into the plastic body for permanent identification during visual inspection and automated placement.
Is the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 suitable for use in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the 1N4735CPE3/TR8 is rated for operation from -65°C to +150°C and meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening requirements when ordered with appropriate prefixes (e.g., MV for JANTXV). Its DO-41 plastic package, void-free epoxy body (UL94V-0), and stable Zener characteristics make it suitable for engine control units, battery management systems, and other under-hood electronics where thermal and environmental resilience are essential.
