Product details
Overview
1N4745A_T50R from onsemi is a 16 V, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, rated for ±5% tolerance at 16 mA test current, with 15.5 Ω dynamic impedance and 0.25 µA leakage at 12.2 V reverse voltage. It regulates voltage in low-power DC supplies and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745A_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal derating (6.67 mW/°C above 50°C), junction temperature range (–65°C to +200°C), and DO-41 mechanical compatibility.
Technical Context
The 1N4745A_T50R operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable reverse-biased breakdown at nominal 16 V across its cathode-anode terminals. Its Zener mechanism provides predictable regulation under controlled current conditions (IZ = 16 mA) and defined thermal boundary (TL ≤ 50°C).
It exhibits 15.5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ @ IZ) and 22 Ω knee impedance (ZZK @ IZK = 1.6 mA), supporting precision referencing where low AC impedance matters. The 0.25 µA leakage current at VR = 12.2 V ensures minimal error in high-impedance bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.2–16.8 V at 16 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W @ TL ≤ 50°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 15.5 Ω @ IZ = 16 mA - determines AC voltage variation under changing load current |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 µA @ VR = 12.2 V - limits error in high-resistance divider or bias networks |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +200°C - supports industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace environments |
| Thermal Derating | 6.67 mW/°C above 50°C - requires heatsinking or power reduction in elevated ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 glass axial package with cathode indicated by a single black band. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel; body diameter 2.0–2.7 mm, length 4.4–7.0 mm, lead diameter 0.4–0.6 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit common when used in shunt regulation; carries full load current during regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input supply via series resistor; maintains stable voltage relative to anode during reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables use without post-calibration in cost-sensitive 16 V reference designs |
| 1.0 W power rating | Supports up to ~62 mA max Zener current (16 V × 62 mA ≈ 1 W), sufficient for most analog references |
| Low 15.5 Ω dynamic impedance | Minimizes output voltage shift under ±10 mA load transients in feedback or sensing paths |
| –65°C to +200°C operating range | Validates suitability for extended-temperature applications including engine control and downhole electronics |
Applications
| DC Power Supply Regulation | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4745A | Same electrical specs and DO-41 package; T50R suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-D standard. | No functional difference; identical performance in PCB layout and thermal design. | Select 1N4745A_T50R for automated SMT placement; choose bulk 1N4745A for hand-solder prototyping. |
| BZX55C16 | 16 V, ±5%, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package; higher ZZ (20 Ω) and narrower temp range (–65°C to +175°C). | Limited to lower-power applications due to 0.5 W rating; smaller DO-35 footprint may require layout change. | Choose BZX55C16 only if space-constrained and power demand stays below 31 mA at 16 V. |
Compared with 1N4745A_T50R, the 1N4745A offers identical performance in different packaging, while BZX55C16 trades 50% lower power rating and higher impedance for smaller size-making 1N4745A_T50R optimal for robust 1 W regulation where DO-41 fit is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4745A_T50R?
The 1N4745A_T50R has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its nominal 16 V breakdown occurs between 15.2 V and 16.8 V at 16 mA test current and 25°C. This tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +200°C, as confirmed in the onsemi 1N4728A–1N4758A datasheet Rev. 8.
Can the 1N4745A_T50R be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N4745A_T50R uses a DO-41 axial glass package with radial leads intended for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with SMT reflow processes. For SMT alternatives, consider SOD-123 or SOD-323 packaged Zeners like MMBZ5245B, but note differences in power rating and impedance versus the 1N4745A_T50R.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4745A_T50R?
The 1N4745A_T50R specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.25 µA at VR = 12.2 V and 25°C. This value is measured prior to Zener breakdown and ensures minimal current draw in high-impedance bias networks where the 1N4745A_T50R serves as a reference node.
How does thermal derating affect the 1N4745A_T50R's power handling?
The 1N4745A_T50R is rated for 1.0 W only when lead temperature (TL) is ≤ 50°C. Above that, power must be reduced linearly at 6.67 mW/°C. At TL = 100°C, maximum dissipation drops to 0.667 W. Proper lead length (3/8″) and board thermal relief are required to meet this spec in the 1N4745A_T50R's thermal model.
Is the 1N4745A_T50R RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-the 1N4745A_T50R meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per onsemi's material declarations. The DO-41 glass package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and all materials comply with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for the 1N4745A_T50R.
