Product details
Overview
1N4739APE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 9.1 V ±5% axial-lead Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for -65°C to +150°C operation, with 28 mA test current, 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 7 μA reverse leakage at 7 V. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739APE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4739APE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4739APE3/TR12 application, or 1N4739APE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include its 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage, 1 W power rating at 25°C, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and TR12 tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 9.1 V reference across a wide current range (1–500 mA), with low dynamic impedance (5.0 Ω) ensuring minimal voltage variation under load transients. Its thermal resistance is 45°C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) and 105°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board.
The device features a cathode band marking, UL94V-0 epoxy case, and meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity (Method 1020). It is moisture-sensitive Level 1 per J-STD-020B-no dry pack required-and supports soldering at 260°C for 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% at 28 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.0 Ω at 28 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 7 μA at 7 V - ensures low quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 500 mA at TA = 50°C - establishes peak safe operating current under thermal constraints |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - relevant for polarity-check circuits or series forward-path use |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in automotive engine bays and industrial control enclosures |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package with cathode indicated by a single color band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to lower-potential node; forward conduction path when biased positive relative to cathode |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node during Zener operation; defines regulation polarity and reference node orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Matte-tin terminal plating compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and lead-free assembly requirements |
| DO-41 plastic construction ("P" suffix) | Lower thermal resistance (45°C/W) vs. glass-body variants, improving power handling in compact layouts |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry-pack or baking required prior to reflow, reducing manufacturing overhead and floor-life management |
| JEDEC-registered 5% tolerance | Guaranteed VZ between 8.65 V and 9.56 V at 28 mA, enabling predictable loop gain in analog regulators |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - no special handling needed during board assembly or testing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; requires Pb-based solder process | Select only if legacy Pb-process compliance is mandated and RoHS exemption applies |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 9.1 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 10 Ω ZZT; different thermal profile | Designed for space-constrained PCBs; lower power and higher impedance limit use in high-current references | Choose for automated SMT lines where board area is critical and 500 mW suffices |
Compared with 1N4739A and MMSZ4702T1G, the 1N4739APE3/TR12 offers full 1 W power capability in through-hole DO-41 form with RoHS-compliant plating and TR12 tape-and-reel delivery-making it optimal for industrial power supplies requiring robust thermal performance and lead-free compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4739APE3/TR12?
The 1N4739APE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.65 V and 9.56 V when measured at 28 mA and 25°C lead temperature. This tolerance is confirmed by the "A" suffix in the part number and applies across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
Does the 1N4739APE3/TR12 support lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4739APE3/TR12 includes the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at 260°C for up to 10 seconds. Its UL94V-0 epoxy body and thermal design ensure reliability under Pb-free thermal profiles without delamination or parameter shift.
What is the maximum continuous current the 1N4739APE3/TR12 can regulate?
The 1N4739APE3/TR12 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 500 mA at ambient temperature of 50°C. At 25°C, this is limited by its 1.0 W power rating, corresponding to ~110 mA at 9.1 V; derating curves apply above 25°C, with full 500 mA permitted only after thermal management reduces junction temperature rise.
How is polarity identified on the 1N4739APE3/TR12?
The 1N4739APE3/TR12 uses a single cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node during Zener operation. When used in forward bias, the anode (non-banded end) connects to the more positive potential, with forward voltage ≤1.2 V at 200 mA.
Is tape-and-reel packaging included in the 1N4739APE3/TR12 designation?
Yes, the "TR12" suffix in 1N4739APE3/TR12 specifies EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging with 12 mm carrier tape width, enabling compatibility with high-speed pick-and-place equipment. Each reel contains 10,000 units, and the packaging maintains moisture sensitivity Level 1 compliance without desiccant or dry pack.
