Product details
Overview
1N4741ATR from ON Semiconductor is a 11 V, 1 W axial-leaded Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, rated for ±5% tolerance, 23 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA test current, and 0.25 µA leakage at 8.4 V reverse voltage. It regulates voltage in low-power DC supplies, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection for microcontroller I/O lines.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4741ATR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (11 V), power dissipation (1 W), thermal derating (6.67 mW/°C above 50°C), operating temperature range (–65°C to +200°C), and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its 11 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 25 mA test current (IZ), with typical dynamic impedance of 23 Ω and knee impedance of 9 Ω at 0.25 mA (IZK).
The device supports non-repetitive peak reverse surge current up to 414 mA (at 8.3 ms pulse width) and exhibits ≤0.25 µA leakage current at VR = 8.4 V. It is designed for thermal equilibrium at lead temperature TL ≤ 50°C with 3/8″ lead length, per ON Semiconductor's characterization methodology.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.0 V (min 10.45 V, max 11.55 V at IZ = 25 mA; ±5% tolerance) |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W (derates linearly at 6.67 mW/°C above 50°C ambient) |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 23 Ω (measured at IZ = 25 mA; defines regulation stiffness under load variation) |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 9 Ω (measured at IZK = 0.25 mA; indicates low-current regulation capability) |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.25 µA at VR = 8.4 V (ensures minimal standby power loss in bias/reference circuits) |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +200°C (supports industrial, automotive under-hood, and high-reliability applications) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4741A | Same electrical specs and DO-41 package; differs only in packaging format (ammo pack vs. tape/reel) | No functional difference; identical performance in all circuit roles | Select 1N4741A for manual prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| BZX55C11 | Same 11 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package; smaller size, lower power, higher ZZ (30 Ω) | Suitable for space-constrained, low-power signal references but not 1 W load regulation | Choose BZX55C11 when board area is critical and average power < 0.5 W |
Compared with 1N4741ATR, the 1N4741A offers identical performance in a different packaging format, while BZX55C11 trades power handling and impedance for miniaturization-making it viable only where thermal and regulation stiffness requirements are relaxed.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4741ATR?
The 1N4741ATR has a nominal Zener voltage of 11.0 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 10.45 V and 11.55 V when tested at 25 mA. This tolerance is maintained across the full operating temperature range and is verified per ON Semiconductor's 1N4728A–1N4758A datasheet Rev. 8. The 1N4741ATR achieves this consistency using tightly controlled diffusion and metallization processes.
Can the 1N4741ATR be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N4741ATR is exclusively offered in the DO-41 axial-leaded glass package and is not compatible with SMT reflow or pick-and-place processes. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the MMBZ5242B (11 V, SOD-123, 225 mW) or BZX84-C11 (11 V, SOT-23, 300 mW), both of which differ in power rating, impedance, and thermal behavior. The 1N4741ATR requires through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for rated power dissipation.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for the 1N4741ATR?
The 1N4741ATR supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 414 mA, defined for an 8.3 ms square-wave pulse per ON Semiconductor's test note 2. This value reflects the device's surge-handling capability during transient overvoltage events such as ESD or load dump, provided the junction temperature remains within limits. Continuous operation must stay within the 1 W DC power envelope.
How does thermal derating apply to the 1N4741ATR?
The 1N4741ATR derates linearly at 6.67 mW/°C above a lead temperature of 50°C, meaning its usable power drops to 0.667 W at 100°C lead temperature. This derating is based on 3/8″ lead length and assumes thermal equilibrium; shorter leads or PCB copper heatsinking alter the effective thermal resistance. Designers must calculate actual lead temperature-not ambient-to apply derating correctly for the 1N4741ATR.
Is the 1N4741ATR RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-the 1N4741ATR meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per ON Semiconductor's material declarations. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Full compliance documentation, including substance concentration data, is available in ON Semiconductor's official product change notices and environmental reports for the 1N47xxA family.
