Product details
Overview
1N4735PE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 6.2 V ±5% axial-lead Zener diode in DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic package, designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and signal clamping circuits across industrial and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4735PE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4735PE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4735PE3/TR12 application, or 1N4735PE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage at 41 mA test current, 2 Ω dynamic impedance, 10 µA reverse leakage at 4.96 V, 146 mA maximum regulator current at 50°C, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating with tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a near-zero temperature coefficient (~0 mV/°C), making it ideal for low-drift reference applications where thermal stability is critical.
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 thermal resistance of 45°C/W junction-to-lead and 105°C/W junction-to-ambient under defined PCB layout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 6.2 V ±5% at 41 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Dynamic Impedance (Zzt) | 2 Ω at 41 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (Ir) | 10 µA max at 4.96 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Max Regulator Current (Izm) | 146 mA at TA = 50°C - sets upper limit for sustained regulation without thermal runaway |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - supports compact designs with minimal heatsinking in linear regulators |
| Forward Voltage (Vf) | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - enables use as polarity-sensitive clamp or series diode in dual-function circuits |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - validated for extended-range industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL), axial-lead plastic encapsulated case with cathode band marking; RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating; weight 0.7 g; moisture sensitivity level 1 (no dry pack required).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener mode | Enables standard diode conduction path; must be held negative relative to cathode for regulation |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; banded end, connected to higher-potential node in Zener mode | Applied positive voltage here relative to anode to activate reverse breakdown and regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 5% tolerance | Guarantees Vz within ±5% of 6.2 V at 41 mA, enabling predictable design margins without binning |
| Near-zero tempco | Temperature coefficient ~0 mV/°C near 6.2 V minimizes drift in precision references over –65°C to +150°C |
| Low dynamic impedance | 2 Ω at IZT ensures <13 mV output shift per 25 mA load change-critical for stable feedback sensing |
| RoHS-compliant e3 suffix | Matte-tin plating meets JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture classification and eliminates Pb-based solder concerns |
| Tape-and-reel TR12 packaging | Standard EIA-296 format supports automated SMT placement despite axial-lead form factor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A | No "P" (plastic) or "e3" (RoHS) suffix; glass-body construction; Sn/Pb plating; bulk packaging | Higher thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient); not moisture-rated for reflow; incompatible with Pb-free assembly | Select only for legacy non-RoHS designs requiring glass-body reliability or MIL-PRF-19500 screening prefixes |
| BZX55C6V2 | Same 6.2 V ±5%, but 500 mW rating; TO-92 package; 10 Ω Zzt; 100 µA Ir at 4.96 V | Lower power handling limits use in >300 mW regulation; higher impedance increases load regulation error | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where 146 mA Izm and 2 Ω Zzt are not required |
Compared with 1N4735A and BZX55C6V2, the 1N4735PE3/TR12 offers superior thermal performance (45°C/W vs. ~120°C/W), tighter regulation (2 Ω vs. 10 Ω), lower leakage (10 µA vs. 100 µA), and RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel readiness-making it optimal for modern industrial power management.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4735PE3/TR12?
The 1N4735PE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its base part number (1N4735A). This tolerance is guaranteed at 41 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature, ensuring predictable regulation across production lots without binning.
Does the 1N4735PE3/TR12 support lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4735PE3/TR12 features RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating and is rated for soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds, fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. The "e3" suffix explicitly denotes this RoHS compliance, and its moisture sensitivity level 1 eliminates dry-pack requirements before assembly.
What is the maximum continuous current the 1N4735PE3/TR12 can regulate?
The 1N4735PE3/TR12 supports a maximum regulator current (Izm) of 146 mA at 50°C ambient temperature. At higher temperatures, derating applies: power dissipation drops linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature, per the 45°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance specification.
How does the 1N4735PE3/TR12 differ from the glass-body 1N4735A?
The 1N4735PE3/TR12 uses a plastic DO-41 package with lower thermal resistance (45°C/W vs. ~120°C/W for glass), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel (TR12) packaging. The glass-body 1N4735A lacks these features and is not rated for moisture exposure or Pb-free assembly.
Can the 1N4735PE3/TR12 be used in series or parallel configurations?
Series connection is acceptable for higher-voltage references, but parallel use is strongly discouraged due to mismatched Zener impedances and thermal runaway risk. For multi-Zener applications, the 1N4735PE3/TR12 should be individually ballasted with series resistors to ensure current sharing stability.
