Product details
Overview
1N4739PE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 9.1 V ±5% axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 28 mA test current, 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 7.0 μA reverse leakage at 7.0 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739PE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4739PE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4739PE3/TR12 application, or 1N4739PE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (500 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 9.1 V nominal regulation is specified at 28 mA with ±5% tolerance ('A' suffix), and it exhibits low dynamic impedance (5.0 Ω) ensuring minimal voltage deviation under dynamic current changes.
Designed for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C, the device features moisture sensitivity Level 1 (no dry pack required), UL94V-0 epoxy body, and cathode band polarity marking. Thermal performance is defined for both lead-temperature (TL) and ambient (TA) mounting conditions on FR4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% at 28 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback references and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in lead-mounted configurations |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.0 Ω at IZT = 28 mA - determines output voltage stability under small-signal AC load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 7.0 μA at VR = 7.0 V - ensures low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 500 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables thermal design of heatsinking and board layout |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - defines conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |

The 1N4739PE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the 'A' suffix in its JEDEC designation. This tolerance is verified at 28 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The 1N4739PE3/TR12 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C), supporting stable regulation in demanding environments.
Is the 1N4739PE3/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4739PE3/TR12 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its part number, indicating annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is suitable for lead-free reflow soldering processes without exemption waivers.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4739PE3/TR12?
The 1N4739PE3/TR12 is rated for a maximum surge current (ISM) of 500 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating enables reliable transient clamping in power supply and interface protection circuits without permanent degradation of the 1N4739PE3/TR12's regulation characteristics.
Does the 1N4739PE3/TR12 require dry packing before use?
No, the 1N4739PE3/TR12 does not require dry packing. It is moisture sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored and assembled without humidity-controlled packaging or baking. This simplifies inventory handling and eliminates floor-life tracking for the 1N4739PE3/TR12 in production environments.
What package type is used for the 1N4739PE3/TR12?
The 1N4739PE3/TR12 uses the DO-41 (also designated DO-204AL) axial-lead plastic package. It features a void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, tin-plated leads, and cathode identification via a visible band. The "P" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this plastic construction, distinguishing it from glass-body variants.
