Product details
Overview
1N4739CPE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 9.1 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W plastic-encapsulated Zener diode in DO-41 package, rated for 28 mA test current, 5 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 7 μA reverse leakage at 7.2 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4739CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4739CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4739CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (500 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. It delivers regulated 9.1 V with ±2% initial tolerance (C suffix), 5 Ω dynamic impedance at 28 mA test current, and exhibits low knee impedance (100 Ω at 0.25 mA) for sharp regulation onset.
Designed for axial-lead mounting on FR4 PCBs, it features 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length, supports steady-state 1.0 W dissipation below 105 °C lead temperature, and complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±2% at 28 mA - ensures tight regulation stability in feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - defines maximum continuous thermal load on leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω at IZT = 28 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 7 μA at VR = 7.2 V - guarantees low quiescent error in high-impedance references |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 500 mA (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 length |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by color band; terminals are unmarked anode and banded cathode; polarity must be observed - cathode positive for Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased input terminal | Connected to lower-potential node; carries reverse current during regulation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener output terminal | Provides stabilized 9.1 V reference; must be held at higher potential than anode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | Same 9.1 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) vs. ±2% for 1N4739CPE3/TR12 | Acceptable where calibration or trimming compensates for wider tolerance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for initial accuracy |
| BZX55C9V1 | 9.1 V ±5%, DO-35 package, 500 mW rating, higher ZZT (10 Ω) | Lower power and less precise; suitable only for non-critical biasing | Choose only if board space constraints require smaller DO-35 footprint |
Compared with 1N4739A and BZX55C9V1, the 1N4739CPE3/TR12 provides superior initial accuracy (±2% vs. ±5%), higher power handling (1 W vs. 500 mW), and lower dynamic impedance (5 Ω vs. 10 Ω), making it optimal for untrimmed, high-stability reference designs requiring production consistency.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4739CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4739CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 9.1 V breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 8.92 V and 9.28 V at 28 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, enabling high-accuracy voltage referencing without post-production adjustment.
Does the 1N4739CPE3/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4739CPE3/TR12 meets RoHS requirements, confirmed by the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its axial leads. The device is fully compliant with Directive 2011/65/EU and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4739CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4739CPE3/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 overvoltage events common in automotive and industrial power rails without parameter shift or failure.
How does the DO-41 package of the 1N4739CPE3/TR12 affect thermal performance?
The DO-41 package of the 1N4739CPE3/TR12 provides a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 10 mm lead length, enabling reliable 1.0 W power dissipation up to 105 °C lead temperature. When mounted on FR4 with specified copper pads, its junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 105 °C/W, requiring appropriate board-level thermal design for continuous operation.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate in the 1N4739CPE3/TR12 part number?
"TR12" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12,000 units per reel. This format supports automated axial-lead placement equipment and ensures consistent feeding, reduced handling damage, and traceable lot control - critical for high-volume manufacturing of power supplies and industrial controls using the 1N4739CPE3/TR12.
