Product details
Overview
1N4740UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 1.0 W glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 10 V ±5%, 25 mA test current, 7 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 10 μA maximum reverse leakage at 7.6 V, and operating temperature range −65 °C to +175 °C - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4740UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4740UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4740UR-1/TR application, or 1N4740UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (130 °C/W on FR4), surge current rating (454 mA), hermetic DO-213AB MELF package, and RoHS-compliant e3 plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode in reverse breakdown mode, delivering stable 10 V regulation across 0.25 mA to 454 mA DC current range. Its glass hermetic DO-213AB MELF construction ensures low parasitic capacitance and radiation hardness per MicroNote 050.
It exhibits a sharp Zener knee with 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA and 400 mV maximum forward voltage at 200 mA. Thermal derating follows linear 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient path on standard FR4 PCB with recommended footprint.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740AUR | Same 10 V ±5%, DO-213AB package, but no TR tape-and-reel suffix - supplied in bulk or different reel configuration | Lacks standardized 1500-unit tape-and-reel; requires manual loading or custom packaging integration | Select 1N4740UR-1/TR when automated SMT production demands verified reel compatibility and traceable lot control |
| SMAJ4740A | Same 10 V ±5% Zener voltage but in SMA package (DO-214AC); higher thermal resistance (150 °C/W), lower surge rating (300 mA) | Less suitable for high-temp or high-surge environments; better for cost-sensitive consumer PCBs with lower reliability requirements | Choose SMAJ4740A only if DO-213AB footprint is unavailable and thermal/surge margins exceed 20% design headroom |
Compared with 1N4740AUR and SMAJ4740A, the 1N4740UR-1/TR uniquely combines JEDEC DO-213AB mechanical compliance, RoHS e3 plating, TR tape-and-reel logistics, and full −65 °C to +175 °C qualification - making it optimal for high-reliability automated manufacturing where thermal robustness and supply chain traceability are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4740UR-1/TR?
The 1N4740UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its designation. This tolerance is specified at 25 mA test current and 30 °C case temperature, ensuring predictable regulation accuracy in feedback and reference applications.
Does the 1N4740UR-1/TR meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4740UR-1/TR is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its full part number. It features annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, qualified for both Pb-free reflow (260 °C for 10 seconds) and traditional SnPb soldering processes.
What package type does the 1N4740UR-1/TR use?
The 1N4740UR-1/TR uses the DO-213AB glass MELF package - a hermetically sealed, leadless cylindrical surface-mount outline standardized by JEDEC. Its dimensions are 2.39–2.66 mm diameter and 4.80–5.20 mm length, with cathode polarity marked by a single band.
Can the 1N4740UR-1/TR replace through-hole 1N4740A diodes?
No direct replacement: the 1N4740UR-1/TR is a surface-mount DO-213AB MELF device, while the 1N4740A is axial-leaded DO-41. They share identical electrical specs but differ mechanically - PCB redesign and reflow process validation are required to substitute 1N4740UR-1/TR for 1N4740A.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4740UR-1/TR?
The 1N4740UR-1/TR is rated for 1.00 W steady-state power dissipation at end-cap temperature below 125 °C or ambient temperature below 45 °C on FR4 with recommended footprint. Derating is linear above these temperatures, reaching zero power at 175 °C ambient per the published curve in Figure 1.
