Product details
Overview
1N4737CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 7.5 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 34 mA test current, 4.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 5 μA reverse leakage at 6.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4737CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4737CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N4737CE3/TR13 application, or 1N4737CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (605 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. It delivers regulated 7.5 V with tight ±2% initial tolerance (C suffix) and exhibits low dynamic impedance (4.0 Ω at 34 mA) for minimal voltage deviation under dynamic current changes.
Designed for axial-lead mounting on FR4 PCBs, it features 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length and supports steady-state dissipation of 1.0 W below 105 °C lead temperature - enabling reliable operation in industrial power rails and analog reference stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5 V ±2% at 34 mA - ensures precise reference voltage in feedback loops and voltage clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact power supplies without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 4.0 Ω at IZT = 34 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 6.0 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on reference designs |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 605 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands brief overvoltage events without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables predictable thermal design with standard lead-forming practices |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by colored band; terminals are nonsensitive to ESD per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 and solderable with Sn/Pb or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit common or lower-potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal / voltage reference output | Banded end; connected to regulated rail; defines 7.5 V reference relative to anode during breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables high-accuracy voltage references without external trimming in 5 V–12 V supply monitoring |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating, eliminating lead-based solder compatibility concerns |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR13) | Supports automated SMT placement via EIA-296 standard carrier tape, reducing manual handling in production |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - no dry-pack or baking required prior to assembly, lowering manufacturing cost |
| Low knee impedance (ZZK) | 0.5 Ω at IZK = 5 mA - provides stable regulation even near minimum operating current |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in linear regulator ICs or op-amp-based shunt regulators.

Use Value: 4.0 Ω dynamic impedance limits voltage error to <10 mV under 10 mA load variation, improving measurement resolution. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4737A | Same 7.5 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) vs. ±2% (C suffix) of 1N4737CE3/TR13 | Lower accuracy; acceptable where cost priority outweighs reference stability | Select when ±5% regulation suffices and RoHS compliance is not required |
| MMSZ4703T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, same 7.5 V ±5%, 500 mW rating - not 1 W | Not suitable for 1 W continuous dissipation; limited to low-power portable designs | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs where thermal derating permits ≤500 mW operation |
Compared with 1N4737A and MMSZ4703T1G, the 1N4737CE3/TR13 offers tighter voltage tolerance and full 1 W power handling in through-hole DO-41 format - making it optimal for industrial power supplies requiring long-term stability and robust thermal performance without layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4737CE3/TR13?
The 1N4737CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 7.5 V breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 7.35 V and 7.65 V at 34 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature - critical for high-accuracy reference applications where tighter regulation than the standard ±5% (1N4737A) is required.
Does the 1N4737CE3/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4737CE3/TR13 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating on its axial leads, replacing traditional tin-lead finishes while maintaining solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 - verified in Microsemi's official documentation and supported by distributor certifications.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4737CE3/TR13?
The 1N4737CE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) rating of 605 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This value is specified in the official Microsemi datasheet and reflects its ability to absorb short-duration overvoltage transients without parametric shift or failure.
Can the 1N4737CE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4737CE3/TR13 uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package and is not surface-mount compatible. For SMT alternatives, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4737A (SMA package) and MLL4737A (SOD-123), though neither matches the 1N4737CE3/TR13's ±2% tolerance or 1 W power rating - confirming its role as a through-hole precision Zener.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1N4737CE3/TR13?
The "TR13" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 13-inch reels containing 5,000 units. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is distinct from bulk or ammo-pack options - a key logistics detail for production planning and inventory management of the 1N4737CE3/TR13.
