Product details
Overview
1N4737UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 1.0 W glass Zener diode with a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V ±5%, DO-213AB (MELF) hermetic package, 34 mA test current, and 4.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and delivers stable voltage regulation in high-density power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4737UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4737UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4737UR-1/TR application, or 1N4737UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener tolerance, thermal resistance (130 °C/W on FR4), surge current rating (700 mA), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin termination for reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt voltage regulator, maintaining a stable 7.5 V reference across its cathode–anode terminals when reverse-biased above breakdown. Its glass MELF construction ensures low parasitic capacitance and inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It exhibits a sharp Zener knee with 0.5 mA test current (IZK) and 45 Ω maximum knee impedance (ZZK), enabling reliable low-current regulation. The 1.2 V forward voltage at 200 mA supports polarity verification during functional testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5 V ±5% at 34 mA - defines regulated output voltage in feedback loops with predictable tolerance band |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TEC < 125 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on end-cap heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 4.0 Ω at IZT = 34 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 5 μA at VR = 6.0 V - ensures minimal leakage below regulation threshold |
| Surge Current (IS) | 700 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands short-duration overvoltage events without degradation |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - supports aerospace, downhole, and industrial environments without derating |
| Thermal Resistance | 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 (1 oz Cu) - informs PCB pad design for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
DO-213AB (Glass MELF) hermetically sealed surface-mount package with axial symmetry; cathode identified by single black band. No discrete pins - terminals are metallized end caps soldered directly to PCB pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to reference point (e.g., op-amp inverting input); must be held positive relative to anode for Zener operation |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Return/reference ground | Typically tied to system ground or feedback divider low-side; establishes current path through series resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift; enables >20-year reliability in sealed enclosures |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | No special handling required - withstands human-body-model discharges without parameter shift or failure |
| Specified capacitance (Figure 2) | Low junction capacitance (~10–20 pF typical) preserves high-frequency stability in switching regulator feedback networks |
| Inherent radiation hardness | Meets MIL-PRF-19500 requirements for total ionizing dose (TID) without additional screening |
| RoHS-compliant termination | Matte-tin plating meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile (260 °C/10 s) and eliminates lead-based solder concerns |
Applications
| Switching Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Reference |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4737AUR-1/TR | Same Zener voltage (7.5 V), identical DO-213AB package, but rated for ±5% tolerance with "A" suffix; same electrical specs and thermal performance | No functional difference - both qualified for high-reliability surface-mount use; "AUR" denotes Microsemi's standard A-grade screening | Select 1N4737AUR-1/TR if sourcing from legacy BOMs referencing "AUR" nomenclature; otherwise 1N4737UR-1/TR is functionally identical |
| BZX84-C7V5 | 7.5 V ±5%, SOT-23 plastic package, 300 mW power rating, higher ZZT (15 Ω), lower surge rating (500 mA), and narrower temp range (–65 °C to +150 °C) | Suitable for consumer-grade low-power regulators where size and cost outweigh reliability and thermal margin | Choose BZX84-C7V5 only for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical designs; avoid where >1 W dissipation, >150 °C operation, or radiation hardness is required |
Compared with 1N4737AUR-1/TR and BZX84-C7V5, the 1N4737UR-1/TR offers identical regulation performance to the former while differing only in part-numbering convention, and provides superior power handling, thermal range, and ruggedness versus the latter's plastic SOT-23 alternative.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4737UR-1/TR?
The 1N4737UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Microsemi datasheet. This tolerance applies at 34 mA test current and 30 °C case temperature, and is maintained across its full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C.
Is the 1N4737UR-1/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4737UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full manufacturer designation (1N4737UR-1/TR,e3). It features annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What package type does the 1N4737UR-1/TR use?
The 1N4737UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AB glass MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) package - a hermetically sealed cylindrical surface-mount outline with metallized end-cap terminals. Its dimensions are 2.39–2.66 mm diameter and 4.80–5.20 mm length, per page 3 of the Microsemi datasheet.
Can the 1N4737UR-1/TR replace through-hole 1N4737A diodes?
The 1N4737UR-1/TR is electrically equivalent to the through-hole 1N4737A but is not a mechanical drop-in replacement. It uses DO-213AB surface-mount packaging versus DO-41 axial leads, requiring PCB redesign. Functionally, it delivers identical 7.5 V ±5% regulation and 1.0 W power dissipation in high-density layouts.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4737UR-1/TR on FR4?
The 1N4737UR-1/TR dissipates 1.0 W continuously when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper using the recommended footprint, up to an ambient temperature of 45 °C. Above that, power must be linearly derated at 130 °C/W - e.g., 0.5 W at 80 °C ambient - as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
