Product details
Overview
1N4739P/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 9.1 V ±5% axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection. It delivers stable Zener voltage at 28 mA test current, with 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance, 7 μA reverse leakage at 7 V, and operates across –65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739P/TR8 datasheet, 1N4739P/TR8 pinout, 1N4739P/TR8 application, or 1N4739P/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.0 W power rating at 25°C, DO-41 mechanical compatibility, thermal resistance of 45°C/W (junction-to-lead), and RoHS-compliant "e3" variant availability.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 9.1 V reference across a wide current range (1–500 mA), with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per JEDEC standards. Its 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 28 mA ensures low output variation under load transients.
The device uses void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), tin-lead or matte-tin plating, and features cathode band polarity marking. It is moisture-sensitive Level 1 (IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B) and ESD-nonsensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% at IZT = 28 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance in feedback or clamp applications |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL ≤ 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance | 5.0 Ω at IZT = 28 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 7 μA max at VR = 7 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal design when leads serve as primary heat path |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - relevant for polarity-check or forward-bias protection use cases |

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 indicates glass-body construction; higher thermal resistance (≈60°C/W vs. 45°C/W) | Less suitable for high-power-density layouts where lead conduction dominates cooling | Select 1N4739P/TR8 when thermal performance or moisture resilience (Level 1) is critical |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 9.1 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; 10 Ω ZZT | Requires PCB redesign; lower power and higher impedance limit use in high-current regulation | Choose MMSZ4702T1G only for space-constrained, low-power SMT designs where DO-41 is impractical |
Compared with 1N4739A and MMSZ4702T1G, the 1N4739P/TR8 offers superior thermal management in axial-lead form, guaranteed Level 1 moisture classification, and full 1.0 W capability-making it optimal for through-hole power supply and industrial clamp applications requiring reliability and legacy footprint compatibility.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4739P/TR8?
The 1N4739P/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This tolerance is specified 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 1N4739P/TR8 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4739P/TR8 does not require dry packing. It is classified as moisture sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored and assembled without baking or humidity-controlled handling-unlike higher-level moisture-sensitive devices. This simplifies manufacturing logistics and reduces cost for high-volume production of the 1N4739P/TR8.
What is the maximum steady-state current the 1N4739P/TR8 can regulate continuously?
The 1N4739P/TR8 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 500 mA at TA = 50°C, as specified in Microsemi's electrical characteristics table. At 25°C ambient and proper lead heatsinking (3/8″ from body), it sustains 1.0 W dissipation, corresponding to ~109 mA at 9.1 V-though actual continuous current depends on thermal design and ambient conditions.
How does the "P" suffix in 1N4739P/TR8 differ from the "A" in 1N4739A?
The "P" suffix in 1N4739P/TR8 denotes plastic encapsulation (DO-41), whereas 1N4739A refers to the legacy glass-body (DO-35) version. The plastic variant offers lower thermal resistance (45°C/W vs. ~60°C/W), Level 1 moisture rating, and RoHS-compliant "e3" options-making the 1N4739P/TR8 more robust for modern industrial and automotive applications than the 1N4739A.
Is the 1N4739P/TR8 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4739P/TR8 is qualified for lead-free soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds maximum, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its matte-tin plating (standard for RoHS-compliant "e3" versions) ensures reliable wetting and intermetallic formation. Standard SnPb soldering is also supported, providing flexibility for mixed-technology assembly of the 1N4739P/TR8.
