Product details
Overview
1N4735P/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 6.2 V ±5%, designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback paths, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection. It operates across –65°C to +150°C, delivers 41 mA test current (IZT), exhibits 2 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT, and features DO-41 axial-leaded plastic packaging.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4735P/TR12 datasheet, 1N4735P/TR12 pinout, 1N4735P/TR12 application, or 1N4735P/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6.2 V regulation tolerance, 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL < 105°C, 41 mA Zener test current, 2 Ω dynamic impedance, and RoHS-compliant "e3" plating option (though TR12 denotes tape-and-reel packaging).
Technical Context
The 1N4735P/TR12 functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its regulation stability relies on controlled avalanche behavior at 6.2 V, with a sharp knee defined by ZZK = 500 Ω at IZK = 1.0 mA and maximum IR = 10 μA at VR = 3 V.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W (at 10 mm lead length) and junction-to-ambient resistance of 105°C/W on FR4 board (4 mm² copper pad). Forward voltage is capped at 1.2 V @ 200 mA, confirming standard silicon PN junction behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 6.2 V ±5% at IZT = 41 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 2 Ω @ IZT - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 μA max @ VR = 3 V - confirms low standby current in undervoltage conditions |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 700 mA at TA = 50°C - determines absolute safe operating current limit |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 500 Ω @ IZK = 1.0 mA - indicates onset sharpness of breakdown region |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

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 TR12 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo-pack only; otherwise identical electrical specs | Not suitable for automated SMT assembly; requires manual or vibratory feeding | Select 1N4735A only for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| BZX55C6V2 | Same 6.2 V ±5%, but DO-35 glass package; higher thermal resistance (75°C/W); 500 mW rating | Limited to lower-power applications; less robust mechanical mounting than DO-41 | Choose BZX55C6V2 only when legacy DO-35 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with 1N4735A and BZX55C6V2, the 1N4735P/TR12 offers superior thermal performance (45°C/W), full 1.0 W dissipation capability, and automated assembly readiness - making it optimal for production-grade power management and industrial control designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4735P/TR12?
The 1N4735P/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This tolerance is measured at 25°C lead temperature with 41 mA test current and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C per Microsemi's published specifications for the 1N4735P/TR12.
Does the 1N4735P/TR12 require dry packing due to moisture sensitivity?
No, the 1N4735P/TR12 is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not require dry packing or baking prior to soldering. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy body provides inherent moisture resistance, supporting standard reflow and wave soldering processes without preconditioning.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4735P/TR12?
The 1N4735P/TR12 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 value reflects its ability to absorb short-duration overcurrent events without degradation, as specified in Microsemi's 1N4728AP–1N4764AP datasheet revision C.
Can the 1N4735P/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4735P/TR12 uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package and is not a surface-mount device. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4735A and MLL4735A - both share identical electrical characteristics but use DO-214AC and SOD-123 packages respectively.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate in 1N4735P/TR12?
"TR12" denotes EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging containing 12,000 units per reel, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The base part 1N4735P specifies plastic DO-41 construction with RoHS-compliant plating; TR12 adds logistics and manufacturability functionality without altering electrical or thermal parameters of the 1N4735P/TR12.
