Product details
Overview
1N4739CPE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 9.1 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic 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 reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4739CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4739CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4739CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its tight 2% Zener voltage tolerance, low 5 Ω ZZT, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, tape-and-reel packaging (TR8), and operation across –65°C to +150°C.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. It delivers regulated 9.1 V with ±2% initial accuracy (C suffix), 5 Ω dynamic impedance at 28 mA, and 7 μA maximum reverse leakage at 7.2 V.
Thermal performance is defined by 45°C/W junction-to-lead resistance at 10 mm lead length and 105°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with specified copper pad geometry. Its DO-41 plastic package meets UL94V-0 flammability rating and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±2% - precise reference voltage for feedback loops and clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - supports continuous regulation in compact layouts |
| Test Current (IZT) | 28 mA - standard bias point for specifying VZ and ZZT |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω @ 28 mA - low AC resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 7 μA @ 7.2 V - negligible standby current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | DO-41 (DO-204AL) - industry-standard axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic package with axial leads: cathode indicated by painted band; anode is unmarked lead. Body diameter 2.0–2.7 mm, overall length 4.5–5.5 mm, lead diameter 0.4–0.6 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulation circuit; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Banded end; connected to higher-potential side; maintains stable 9.1 V relative to anode when reverse-biased |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-voltage reference replacing more expensive bandgap ICs where moderate accuracy suffices. Use Value: 2% initial tolerance and low 7 μA leakage minimize reference error contribution and loading effects on ADC input. |
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) instead of ±2% | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements | Select 1N4739A only if system-level calibration or wider tolerance bands accommodate ±5% variation |
| BZX55C9V1 | 9.1 V ±5%, DO-35 glass package, 500 mW power rating | Lower power dissipation limits use in sustained-current applications | Choose BZX55C9V1 only for low-duty-cycle clamping or space-constrained designs where DO-35 fits better than DO-41 |
Compared with 1N4739A and BZX55C9V1, the 1N4739CPE3/TR8 offers superior voltage precision (±2% vs. ±5%), higher power handling (1 W vs. 500 mW), and RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel packaging-making it optimal for production-grade industrial power management where accuracy, thermal margin, and assembly compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4739CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4739CPE3/TR8 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 falls within 8.92 V to 9.28 V at 25°C and 28 mA test current, enabling tighter regulation than the ±5% 1N4739A variant.
What does the "e3" suffix indicate on the 1N4739CPE3/TR8?
The "e3" suffix on the 1N4739CPE3/TR8 indicates RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating on the leads, verified per JEDEC standards. This ensures compatibility with lead-free soldering processes, including peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, without compromising solder joint integrity or corrosion resistance.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4739CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4739CPE3/TR8 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 7 μA at a reverse test voltage (VR) of 7.2 V and ambient temperature. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference applications and minimizes parasitic loading in precision analog circuits.
How is thermal performance defined for the 1N4739CPE3/TR8?
Thermal performance of the 1N4739CPE3/TR8 is defined as 45°C/W junction-to-lead resistance at 10 mm lead length from the body, and 105°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board with specified copper geometry. Derating begins above 105°C lead temperature or 45°C ambient, maintaining 1.0 W dissipation only within those limits.
What does the "TR8" suffix signify in the 1N4739CPE3/TR8 part number?
The "TR8" suffix in 1N4739CPE3/TR8 indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm carrier tape width and component orientation optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. This format supports high-volume manufacturing while preserving the DO-41 axial-lead mechanical configuration.
