Product details
Overview
1N4745AP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 16 V, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package with ±5% voltage tolerance, 15.5 mA test current (IZT), and 16 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT. It regulates voltage across industrial power supplies, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection stages where stable 16 V clamping is required.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745AP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4745AP/TR12 pinout, 1N4745AP/TR12 application, or 1N4745AP/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (285 mA), reverse leakage (5 µA @ 12.2 V), and RoHS-compliant "e3" plating compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 16 V reference across variable load currents from 1.0 mA to 285 mA. Its 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 1 W dissipation at lead temperature ≤105 °C with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body.
The 1N4745AP/TR12 exhibits a sharp Zener knee with 0.5 mA test current (IZK) and 57 Ω knee impedance (ZZK), ensuring low-noise regulation under light-load conditions. Polarity is marked by cathode band; operation requires cathode positive relative to anode for regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±5% at 15.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production control for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with adequate lead heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω @ IZT = 15.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 µA max @ VR = 12.2 V - guarantees low standby power loss in precision bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 285 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design using standard axial-lead mounting without forced cooling |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. Cathode identified by colored band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires this terminal negative relative to cathode |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; held at stable 16 V above anode during breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N47xxAP series | Industry-standard footprint and electrical behavior enabling direct replacement in legacy designs |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required - simplifies SMT handling and eliminates bake-out prior to assembly |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Robust handling in manufacturing without special static controls beyond standard precautions |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix option | Meets global environmental compliance requirements while maintaining identical electrical performance |
| Plastic P-suffix construction | Lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body G-suffix variants - improves power handling in same JEDEC outline |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4745A | No "TR12" tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only | Same electrical specs but unsuitable for automated pick-and-place | Select 1N4745AP/TR12 for SMT production; use 1N4745A for prototyping or manual assembly |
| MMBZ5245B | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 16 V ±5%, 200 mW rating | Lower power handling limits use to signal-level clamping, not 1 W regulation | Choose MMBZ5245B only for space-constrained low-power biasing where 1 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4745A and MMBZ5245B, the 1N4745AP/TR12 uniquely combines 1 W power capability, DO-41 axial-leaded manufacturability, and tape-and-reel delivery-making it optimal for high-reliability industrial power rails requiring proven thermal performance and automated assembly support.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4745AP/TR12?
The 1N4745AP/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix per JEDEC registration. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 15.2 V and 16.8 V at 15.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, supporting predictable design margins in reference and clamp applications.
Does 1N4745AP/TR12 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N4745AP/TR12 is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored and processed without dry packing or baking. Its plastic DO-41 package is inherently moisture-resistant, eliminating pre-reflow bake steps and reducing manufacturing overhead in high-volume assembly.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4745AP/TR12?
The 1N4745AP/TR12 supports a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 285 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in power-line protection and input-stage clamping without permanent parameter shift.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4745AP/TR12 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4745AP/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W, meaning its safe 1 W operation depends on effective heat conduction through its axial leads. Layout should maintain ≥10 mm straight lead length from body to board entry point and avoid excessive copper removal near solder joints to preserve thermal path integrity.
Is 1N4745AP/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N4745AP/TR12 confirms RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating instead of tin-lead, meeting lead-free soldering requirements while retaining full electrical and thermal equivalence to legacy Sn/Pb versions.
