Product details
Overview
1N4739AP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 9.1 V, 1 W plastic-encapsulated Zener diode with ±5% voltage tolerance, 28 mA test current (IZT), and 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT. It operates from –65°C to +150°C and regulates voltage in low-power reference and protection circuits such as power supply feedback loops and overvoltage clamping.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739AP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4739AP/TR12 pinout, 1N4739AP/TR12 application, or 1N4739AP/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (500 mA), and RoHS-compliant "e3" plating compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This axial-lead Zener diode functions in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its DO-41 package enables through-hole mounting with flexible lead termination and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
The device delivers regulation with 100 µA maximum reverse leakage at 7 V (VR), 1.2 V forward voltage at 200 mA, and 0.5 A maximum regulator current (IZM) at TA = 50°C. Thermal derating begins above 45°C ambient on FR4 board or 105°C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% - precise DC reference for feedback networks and voltage clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C or TA < 45°C - defines maximum continuous thermal load on PCB or leads |
| Test Current (IZT) | 28 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified; used for stable biasing |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.0 Ω at IZT - low AC impedance ensures minimal voltage variation under ripple or transient load |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA at VR = 7 V - confirms tight regulation onset and low standby power loss |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 500 mA - withstands short-duration transients without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - determines temperature rise per watt in lead-mounted configurations |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package with cathode indicated by color band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-bias reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; carries full Zener current during regulation |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; held at stable 9.1 V relative to anode when reverse-biased above knee voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener | Fully compliant with JEDEC 1N4739A standard for interchangeability and test methodology |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants-improves power handling in compact layouts |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required-reduces handling cost and simplifies SMT/through-hole assembly logistics |
| ESD robustness | Nonsensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020-enables safe handling without special ESD controls |
| RoHS-compliant option | "e3" suffix denotes annealed matte-tin plating-meets environmental compliance without solderability trade-offs |

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 "P" suffix; glass-body construction; higher thermal resistance (≈60°C/W junction-to-ambient) | Less suitable for high-density PCBs requiring low thermal rise; same electrical specs | Select 1N4739AP/TR12 for improved thermal performance and RoHS compliance in new designs |
| MMBZ5239BS | SOT-23 surface-mount; 9.1 V ±5%; 200 mW rating; 10 Ω ZZT; 20 mA IZT | Lower power and smaller footprint; not drop-in compatible due to package and thermal limits | Choose MMBZ5239BS only for space-constrained, low-power applications where 1N4739AP/TR12's 1 W rating is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4739A and MMBZ5239BS, the 1N4739AP/TR12 offers superior thermal management in through-hole layouts, guaranteed 1 W dissipation, and moisture-insensitive packaging-making it optimal for industrial power supplies and ruggedized analog systems where reliability under thermal stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4739AP/TR12?
The 1N4739AP/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC registration. This tolerance applies at 25°C lead temperature with 28 mA test current and ensures predictable regulation across production lots without requiring binning or calibration.
Does 1N4739AP/TR12 require dry packing before reflow?
No, the 1N4739AP/TR12 is moisture sensitivity level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not require dry packing or baking prior to assembly. Its void-free epoxy body and Level 1 classification eliminate moisture-related popcorning risks during standard soldering processes including wave and reflow.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4739AP/TR12?
The 1N4739AP/TR12 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 allows the device to safely absorb transient overvoltages in protection circuits without permanent degradation.
How does the "P" suffix affect the 1N4739AP/TR12 package and performance?
The "P" suffix in 1N4739AP/TR12 designates plastic encapsulation (DO-41), which provides lower thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead) compared to the glass-body "G" variant. This improves power handling and thermal stability in high-temperature environments while maintaining identical electrical specifications.
Is 1N4739AP/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4739AP/TR12 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" designation in Microsemi's official documentation. It features annealed matte-tin plating on leads, meeting EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements without compromising solderability or reliability.
