Product details
Overview
1N4739APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 9.1 V, 1 W plastic-encapsulated Zener diode with ±5% voltage tolerance, 28 mA test current (IZT), 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and DO-41 package. It regulates voltage in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and voltage-clamping circuits across -65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4739APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4739APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4739APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (500 mA), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 28 mA test current with 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance, ensuring low regulation error across its operating range.
The device uses silicon PN-junction technology in a void-free thermosetting epoxy DO-41 package with tin-plated axial leads. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; regulation occurs when the banded end is held positive relative to the anode, supporting unidirectional voltage reference and clamping functions.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 9.1 V ±5% at 28 mA - defines precise regulation point for reference and clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.0 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Test Current (IZT) | 28 mA - standard bias condition for Vz and ZZT measurement and design validation |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 7 µA at 7.2 V - ensures low leakage below knee voltage for stable standby operation |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 500 mA - supports transient overvoltage absorption without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal management with 3/8" lead length mounting |

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 DO-41 package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; otherwise functionally identical in legacy designs | Select 1N4739A only if Pb-based solder process is used and RoHS exemption applies |
| MMBZ5239BS-7-F | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 9.1 V ±5%; 20 mA IZT; 10 Ω ZZT; 250 mW Pd | Limited power handling and higher impedance reduce regulation stability under >50 mA loads | Choose MMBZ5239BS-7-F only for space-constrained PCBs where 250 mW dissipation suffices |
Compared with 1N4739A and MMBZ5239BS-7-F, the 1N4739APE3/TR8 delivers full 1 W power capability, lower 5.0 Ω impedance, and RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel packaging-making it optimal for through-hole industrial power rails requiring robust, compliant, and thermally stable regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4739APE3/TR8?
The 1N4739APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is verified at 28 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature, and applies across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table.
Does the 1N4739APE3/TR8 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4739APE3/TR8 does not require dry packing. It is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has no floor-life limitation and can be stored and assembled without baking or humidity-controlled handling-ideal for standard industrial production lines.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4739APE3/TR8?
The 1N4739APE3/TR8 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating of 500 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in automotive load-dump or inductive-switching scenarios without permanent parameter shift.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4739APE3/TR8?
The 1N4739APE3/TR8 uses a cathode band-a single painted stripe near one end of the DO-41 body-to indicate polarity. For proper Zener regulation, the banded end must be held positive relative to the opposite (anode) end. This marking is visible and durable per Microsemi's mechanical packaging specification.
Is the 1N4739APE3/TR8 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1N4739APE3/TR8 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow. Its "e3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating, and its package is rated for 260°C for 10 seconds-meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements for Pb-free soldering without delamination or termination degradation.
