Product details
Overview
1N4745CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 16 V, 5% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 15.5 mA test current (IZT), 16 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA reverse leakage at 12.2 V (VR), used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4745CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N4745CE3/TR13 application, or 1N4745CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (285 mA), operating temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. It exhibits a sharp knee at IZK = 0.25 mA with ZZK = 57 Ω and supports steady-state dissipation of 1.0 W at lead temperature <105 °C or ambient <45 °C on FR4 board.
Its DO-41 axial-leaded package features void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, cathode band polarity marking, and solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Thermal performance is specified for 3/8" (10 mm) lead length from body and validated per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±5% at IZT = 15.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load under lead-heatsink conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance | 16 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA at VR = 12.2 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current | 285 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage handling without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with discrete heatsinking via leads |
| Operating Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - qualifies for industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package

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 "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; otherwise identical functional behavior | Select when legacy Pb-based soldering processes are used and RoHS compliance is not required |
| MMSZ4705ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 16 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 20 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Lower power and different thermal path; requires PCB layout change and requalification | Choose for space-constrained designs where DO-41 axial leads are impractical |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4745CE3/TR13?
The 1N4745CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 16 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 15.2 V and 16.8 V at 15.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The tolerance is tighter than the base 1N4745A (no suffix = ±10%) and looser than D-suffix variants (±1%).
Does the 1N4745CE3/TR13 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N4745CE3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking. This eliminates pre-reflow baking steps and simplifies manufacturing flow for both through-hole and reflow-compatible assembly.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4745CE3/TR13?
The 1N4745CE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) rating of 285 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating applies to transient overvoltage events such as load dump or ESD coupling, and must be derated per thermal limits if repeated frequently.
Can the 1N4745CE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4745CE3/TR13 uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package and is not surface-mount compatible. For SMT implementation, consider the MMSZ4705ET1G (SOD-123, 16 V, 500 mW) or SMAJ4745A (SMA, 16 V, 1 W), both of which are Microsemi's surface-mount equivalents with different thermal and mounting characteristics.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1N4745CE3/TR13?
"TR13" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard on a 13-inch diameter reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly for through-hole components and ensures consistent orientation (cathode band facing same direction) and quantity control (typically 5,000 units per reel). It is distinct from bulk or ammo-pack options.
