Product details
Overview
1N4741UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 1.0 W glass Zener diode with a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V, ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), 8 Ω dynamic impedance at 23 mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 5 μA at 8.4 V. It operates across –65 °C to +175 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4741UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4741UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4741UR-1/TR application, or 1N4741UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-213AB MELF glass package, hermetic sealing, low parasitic capacitance, radiation-hardened performance per MicroNote 050, and compatibility with high-density PCB layouts requiring stable regulation under thermal stress.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage by conducting reverse current above its specified breakdown threshold. Its operation relies on controlled avalanche breakdown in doped silicon, with sharp knee characteristics verified via dual-point Zener impedance measurement per Note 2.
The device exhibits inherent radiation hardness and low ESD sensitivity due to its hermetically sealed glass MELF construction. Thermal resistance is 50 °C/W junction-to-end-cap and 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 (1 oz Cu) with recommended pad layout - critical for sustained 1.0 W dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11 V ±5% at 23 mA - defines regulated output level in feedback networks and clamping thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TEC < 125 °C - supports continuous regulation without forced cooling in compact designs |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 8 Ω at IZT = 23 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA max at VR = 8.4 V - guarantees low quiescent error in precision reference applications |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables use in aerospace, downhole, and industrial environments |
| Thermal Resistance | 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 - informs heatsinking requirements and derating curves |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - relevant for polarity-checking and forward-bias protection circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB glass MELF (hermetically sealed, leadless cylindrical surface-mount package). Cathode indicated by single black band; device must be mounted with banded end positive relative to opposite end for Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener anode connection point | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during regulation |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Zener cathode connection point | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Enables operation in high-reliability, high-humidity, and radiation-exposed environments per MicroNote 050 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4741A-TR | Same 11 V ±5%, DO-41 axial package (not surface-mount); higher thermal resistance (150 °C/W) | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; less suitable for high-density or automated SMT lines | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual prototyping is required |
| SMAJ4741A | Same 11 V ±5%, but in SMA package; 1.5 W peak power rating; higher capacitance (~100 pF vs ~50 pF) | Better surge handling but introduces more noise coupling in high-speed feedback paths | Select when enhanced surge immunity is prioritized over low-noise regulation |
Compared with 1N4741UR-1/TR, the 1N4741A-TR offers identical regulation specs but lacks surface-mount compatibility and thermal efficiency, while the SMAJ4741A trades lower parasitic capacitance for higher surge capability - making the 1N4741UR-1/TR optimal for space-constrained, low-noise, high-reliability SMT applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4741UR-1/TR?
The 1N4741UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 11 V with a tolerance of ±5%, denoted by the "A" suffix in its designation. This tolerance is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C and applies under standard test conditions (23 mA Zener test current, 90-second stabilization per Note 4).
Is the 1N4741UR-1/TR suitable for high-temperature industrial applications?
Yes, the 1N4741UR-1/TR is rated for continuous operation from –65 °C to +175 °C and features a thermal resistance of 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4. Its hermetic glass MELF package ensures reliability in thermal cycling environments typical of oil & gas, automotive under-hood, and industrial motor control systems.
Does the 1N4741UR-1/TR require external ESD protection?
No - the 1N4741UR-1/TR is explicitly characterized as nonsensitive to ESD per its datasheet. Its glass MELF construction and internal structure eliminate the need for additional board-level ESD protection, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in sensitive analog signal paths.
How does the DO-213AB package of the 1N4741UR-1/TR compare to DO-41 in thermal performance?
The DO-213AB package of the 1N4741UR-1/TR delivers superior thermal performance versus DO-41: junction-to-end-cap thermal resistance is 50 °C/W (vs ~100 °C/W for DO-41), and it supports 1.0 W dissipation at lower case temperatures. This enables higher power density and better reliability in thermally constrained SMT designs.
Can the 1N4741UR-1/TR be used as a replacement for the 1N4741A in existing designs?
The 1N4741UR-1/TR provides identical electrical specifications (11 V ±5%, 8 Ω ZZT, 1.0 W) but differs mechanically: it uses the surface-mount DO-213AB MELF package instead of the axial DO-41. Direct substitution requires PCB footprint redesign and requalification of thermal performance, though functional behavior remains consistent.
