Product details
Overview
1N4741E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 11 V, ±5% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 23 mA test current (IZT), 8 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA reverse leakage at 8.4 V (VR). It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across -65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4741E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4741E3/TR13 pinout, 1N4741E3/TR13 application, or 1N4741E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (414 mA), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13).
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with cathode band indicating polarity; regulation begins at nominal 11 V with sharp knee behavior confirmed by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its 1 W steady-state dissipation is valid at lead temperature <105°C (3/8" from body) or ambient <45°C on FR4 board with defined copper layout.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient near zero (±2 mV/°C typical for 11 V Zeners per Figure 3), low forward voltage (≤1.2 V @ 200 mA), and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - enabling reliable use in unregulated DC rails and analog reference nodes without external transient suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V ±5% at IZT = 23 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with standard lead mounting |
| Dynamic Impedance | 8 Ω at IZT = 23 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at VR = 8.4 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 414 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal design using lead temperature as proxy for junction temp |
| Operating Temp | -65°C to +150°C - qualified for aerospace, industrial, and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package with cathode indicated by color band; terminals are non-polarized leads suitable for through-hole mounting. Moisture sensitivity level 1 - no dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation output | Connected to higher-potential node; delivers stable 11 V when reverse-biased above knee voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC 1N47xxA registration | Industry-standard footprint and electrical behavior - ensures compatibility with legacy designs and PCB footprints |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" finish | Matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 - eliminates lead while maintaining solderability and corrosion resistance |
| Tape-and-reel packaging ("TR13") | EIA-296 compliant 13-inch reel - supports automated SMT placement despite axial-leaded form factor |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack or baking required before assembly - reduces manufacturing overhead and avoids moisture-induced popcorning |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for ESD handling protocols during board assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4741A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; requires Pb-based solder process | Select only if legacy Pb-process compatibility is mandatory and RoHS exemption applies |
| BZX55C11 | Same 11 V ±5%, but 500 mW rating, 15 Ω ZZT, and DO-35 package | Lower power handling limits use in >500 mW regulation or surge scenarios | Choose when board space is constrained and thermal load is ≤0.5 W; verify derating on FR4 |
Compared with 1N4741A and BZX55C11, the 1N4741E3/TR13 offers full RoHS compliance, 1 W power capability, and tape-and-reel readiness - making it optimal for modern high-reliability production where environmental compliance and automation compatibility are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4741E3/TR13?
The 1N4741E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This tolerance is guaranteed at 23 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature, and remains stable across its full operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C per Microsemi's characterization data.
Is the 1N4741E3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4741E3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix denoting matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE, and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restriction of hazardous substances in electrical equipment.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1N4741E3/TR13?
"TR13" specifies EIA-296-compliant tape-and-reel packaging on a 13-inch reel, enabling automated pick-and-place insertion despite the DO-41 axial-leaded form factor. This configuration supports high-volume manufacturing with verified orientation control and static-dissipative carrier tape - distinct from bulk or ammo-pack alternatives.
Can the 1N4741E3/TR13 replace older 1N4741A parts in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N4741E3/TR13 is a direct functional and mechanical replacement for 1N4741A, sharing identical Zener voltage, test current, dynamic impedance, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The only differences are RoHS-compliant terminations and tape-and-reel packaging - both compatible with standard DO-41 footprints and reflow/soldering processes.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4741E3/TR13?
The 1N4741E3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 414 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 inputs and signal lines without permanent parameter shift or junction damage.
