Product details
Overview
1N4745CPE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 16 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 15.5 mA test current, 16 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 700 μA reverse leakage at 12.2 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4745CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4745CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4745CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 2% VZ tolerance, low ZZT, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and TR12 tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its 16 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with typical TC of +8.5 mV/°C per Figure 3 in the datasheet.
The device is characterized at 25 °C lead temperature with 90-second stabilization time, and supports steady-state dissipation of 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C (3/8″ from body) or TA < 45 °C on FR4 board with defined copper pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±2% - precise regulation point for feedback networks and voltage references |
| Test Current (IZT) | 15.5 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified; sets minimum bias requirement |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω at IZT - low AC resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Max Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA at 12.2 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or high-impedance sensing paths |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL ≤ 105 °C - defines thermal design margin for PCB trace width and heatsinking |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Package | DO-41 (DO-204AL) - axial-leaded, JEDEC-standard plastic package with cathode band marking |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 plastic package: axial-leaded, void-free thermosetting epoxy body (UL94V-0), cathode indicated by colored band; terminals are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation output | Banded end; connected to higher-potential node; delivers regulated voltage at this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Enables tighter feedback loop accuracy without external trimming in power supply designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4745A | Same 16 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) and no RoHS "e3" designation | Acceptable where tighter tolerance not required; not RoHS-compliant | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and environmental compliance needs |
| BZX84-C16 | SOT-23 surface-mount package; same 16 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; different thermal profile | Used in space-constrained PCBs; lower power handling limits surge capability | Choose for compact layouts where 1 W dissipation is not required and reflow compatibility is confirmed |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4745CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4745CPE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V with a tolerance of ±2%, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number. This tighter tolerance enables higher accuracy in voltage reference and feedback applications compared to standard ±5% variants like the 1N4745A. The 1N4745CPE3/TR12 achieves this specification under JEDEC test conditions at 25 °C lead temperature.
Is the 1N4745CPE3/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4745CPE3/TR12 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its part number. It features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its leads and meets the requirements of EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering processes with a maximum solder temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate in 1N4745CPE3/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates that the 1N4745CPE3/TR12 is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging conforming to EIA-296 standards, with a 12 mm tape width. This format supports automated surface-mount assembly equipment and ensures consistent feeding and placement reliability. The reel quantity is standardized for TR12 carriers per Microsemi's packaging specifications.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for the 1N4745CPE3/TR12 at 50 °C ambient?
The maximum Zener current (IZM) for the 1N4745CPE3/TR12 is 285 mA at TA = 50 °C, derived from its 1.0 W power rating and 16 V nominal Zener voltage (IZM = PZ/VZ). This value assumes operation within thermal limits and accounts for derating per the power dissipation curve in the datasheet. Exceeding IZM risks thermal runaway or parametric shift.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4745CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4745CPE3/TR12 uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be connected to the higher-potential node during Zener operation. When used in forward bias, the anode (unbanded end) is positive relative to the cathode. This marking follows JEDEC DO-41 standard conventions and is visible on the plastic body adjacent to the lead.
