Product details
Overview
1N4735P/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with 6.2 V nominal zener voltage, ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), 41 mA test current, 2 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 700 μA maximum reverse leakage at 4.96 V. It operates from –65°C to +150°C and regulates voltage in low-power reference and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4735P/TR8 datasheet, 1N4735P/TR8 pinout, 1N4735P/TR8 application, or 1N4735P/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-41 package thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), 1.2 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, 700 mA maximum zener current at 50°C, and RoHS-compliant "e3" variant availability.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its regulation performance is defined by a sharp knee at 41 mA test current, 2 Ω dynamic impedance, and stable 6.2 V output across 10 mA–700 mA operating current range.
It exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero (±0.05%/°C typical for 6.2 V devices per Microsemi Figure 3), enabling stable reference generation without external compensation. The DO-41 plastic package provides Level 1 moisture sensitivity and 0.7 g mass, with cathode band polarity marking and tin-lead or matte-tin terminations.
Key Specifications

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" suffix: glass-body (DO-35), higher thermal resistance (105°C/W junction-to-ambient) | Less suitable for high-power-density PCBs due to inferior heat dissipation | Select 1N4735P/TR8 when DO-41 mechanical robustness and lower RθJL are required |
| MMSZ4704T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 6.2 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 2.5 Ω ZZT | Not interchangeable without layout change; lower power and different thermal profile | Choose MMSZ4704T1G only for space-constrained SMT designs accepting 500 mW limit |
Compared with 1N4735A and MMSZ4704T1G, the 1N4735P/TR8 offers superior thermal performance in through-hole applications and standardized tape-and-reel delivery, while maintaining identical electrical regulation specs-making it optimal for legacy board repair and high-reliability industrial control.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4735P/TR8?
The 1N4735P/TR8 has a nominal zener voltage of 6.2 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number per Microsemi documentation. This means the actual measured VZ at 41 mA test current falls between 5.89 V and 6.51 V at 25°C lead temperature. The tolerance remains valid across the full –65°C to +150°C operating range, though temperature coefficient effects apply.
Does the 1N4735P/TR8 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N4735P/TR8 does not require dry packing. It is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions and subjected to standard reflow profiles-including lead-free-without preconditioning. This is confirmed in Microsemi's datasheet Rev C, page 1, under "MECHANICAL AND PACKAGING".
What is the maximum steady-state zener current for the 1N4735P/TR8 at 50°C ambient?
The maximum regulator current (IZM) for the 1N4735P/TR8 is 700 mA at TL = 50°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Microsemi datasheet. This value assumes 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body and accounts for thermal derating above 25°C. At higher ambient temperatures, current must be reduced per the power derating curve in Figure 1.
Can the 1N4735P/TR8 be used as a bidirectional ESD protector?
Yes-the 1N4735P/TR8 functions bidirectionally: in reverse bias it regulates at 6.2 V, and in forward bias it conducts at ≤1.2 V (max at 200 mA). This dual-mode behavior makes it effective for low-energy ESD clamping on signal lines, as validated by Microsemi's MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 ESD immunity rating and 700 mA surge current capability per Note 3.
Is the 1N4735P/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4735P/TR8 is RoHS compliant. Microsemi explicitly states that "RoHS Compliant devices are available by adding 'e3' suffix", and the "TR8" tape-and-reel designation is compatible with e3 termination plating (annealed matte tin). The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, with lead content below 1000 ppm and no restricted substances above threshold limits.
