Product details
Overview
1N4739UR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 1.0 W glass-encapsulated Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 9.1 V, ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 28 mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 7 μA at 7.3 V. It operates from –65°C to +175°C and is used for precision voltage regulation in high-density power supply rails and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4739UR/TR datasheet, 1N4739UR/TR pinout, 1N4739UR/TR application, or 1N4739UR/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-213AB MELF package, hermetic glass construction, low parasitic capacitance, radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, and suitability for high-reliability industrial and aerospace voltage reference designs.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage regulator by operating in reverse breakdown, maintaining stable output voltage across a broad current range (0.5 mA to 500 mA) and temperature extremes. Its Zener knee occurs at 0.5 mA with 4.5 Ω impedance, ensuring sharp regulation onset and low noise performance.
The DO-213AB glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing, ESD insensitivity, and thermal resistance of 130°C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu), enabling reliable operation without derating up to 45°C ambient or 125°C end-cap temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% - precise regulation point for 9 V rail stabilization and analog reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TEC < 125°C - supports continuous operation in compact thermal environments |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5.0 Ω @ IZT = 28 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 7 μA @ VR = 7.3 V - guarantees low quiescent current in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +175°C - qualified for extended-range industrial, automotive, and downhole applications |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max @ 200 mA - enables use as clamping diode in bidirectional protection schemes |
| Thermal Resistance | 130°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 - defines minimum PCB copper area and layout for thermal compliance |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB glass MELF - hermetically sealed, leadless, cylindrical surface-mount package with cathode band marking; dimensions A = 2.39–2.66 mm, B = 4.80–5.20 mm, C = 0.41–0.55 mm; weight 0.05 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection in reverse-bias configuration | Must be held at higher potential than anode to enable Zener conduction; polarity critical for regulation |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection in reverse-bias configuration | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; forms reference return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Eliminates moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift; supports MIL-PRF-19500 screening options |
| Radiation hardness (MicroNote 050) | Enables use in space-grade and nuclear instrumentation without additional shielding or derating |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands handling without special precautions-reduces assembly-line failure risk |
| Specified capacitance (Fig. 2) | Low junction capacitance enables stable regulation in high-frequency feedback loops and RF bias networks |
| Tight tolerance options (±1%, ±2%) | "C" and "D" suffix variants support precision references where ±5% is insufficient |

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 Zener voltage (9.1 V) and tolerance (±5%), but DO-41 axial-leaded package; higher thermal resistance (65°C/W junction-to-lead) | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required |
| SMAJ4739A | Same electrical specs, but SMA package (plastic, non-hermetic); rated for 1.0 W but derates faster above 75°C ambient | Lacks radiation hardness and hermeticity; not qualified for aerospace or high-reliability mil-spec use | Select for cost-sensitive commercial applications where glass MELF robustness is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4739A and SMAJ4739A, the 1N4739UR/TR offers superior thermal performance on FR4, guaranteed hermeticity for long-term stability, and documented radiation hardness-making it the only choice for mission-critical, high-temperature, or radiation-exposed deployments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4739UR/TR?
The 1N4739UR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "A" suffix in its designation. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 8.645 V and 9.555 V at 28 mA test current and 30°C. Tighter tolerances (±2% or ±1%) are available via "C" or "D" suffix variants, but the 1N4739UR/TR itself is strictly ±5%.
Does the 1N4739UR/TR require heatsinking in standard PCB layouts?
No, the 1N4739UR/TR does not require external heatsinking when mounted on FR4 with the recommended footprint (1 oz Cu). Its thermal resistance is 130°C/W junction-to-ambient, and it delivers full 1.0 W dissipation up to 45°C ambient temperature. Above that, linear derating applies per Figure 1 in the datasheet-no heatsink needed for typical industrial applications below 70°C ambient.
Can the 1N4739UR/TR be used in place of the through-hole 1N4739A?
Electrically yes-the 1N4739UR/TR matches the 1N4739A's Zener voltage, tolerance, and regulation characteristics-but mechanically no. The 1N4739UR/TR uses a DO-213AB glass MELF package requiring reflow-compatible SMT pads, while the 1N4739A uses DO-41 axial leads. Substitution requires PCB redesign; they are not drop-in replacements.
Is the 1N4739UR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in the full part number 1N4739UR/TR,e3 confirms RoHS compliance. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Lead-free soldering is supported with peak reflow temperature up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum reverse surge current rating for the 1N4739UR/TR?
The 1N4739UR/TR is rated for a maximum reverse surge current (IS) of 500 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating enables transient suppression in automotive load-dump and inductive-switching scenarios without degradation, provided average power remains within 1.0 W limits.
