Product details
Overview
1N4745CPE3/TR8 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 (IZT), 16 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 700 μA reverse leakage at 12.2 V (VR), used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4745CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4745CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4745CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its tight 2% Zener voltage tolerance, DO-41 axial-leaded mechanical form, 1 W steady-state power rating at TL < 105°C, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminations.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 16 V nominal Zener voltage (VZ) is specified at 15.5 mA IZT with ±2% tolerance (C suffix), and exhibits low dynamic impedance (16 Ω at IZT) for minimal regulation error under current variation.
Thermal performance is defined by 45 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance at 10 mm lead length and 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with 4 mm² copper pads. It supports operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and withstands 260 °C soldering for 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±2% at 15.5 mA - ensures precise reference accuracy in feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - defines maximum continuous thermal load on leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω at IZT = 15.5 mA - determines regulation sensitivity to current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 12.2 V - limits standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Test Current (IZT) | 15.5 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed per JEDEC spec |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 285 mA at TA = 50°C - sets absolute upper current limit before thermal runaway |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - relevant for polarity protection or series-switching use cases |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package with cathode indicated by color band; body diameter 2.0–2.7 mm, overall length 4.4–5.9 mm, lead diameter 0.4–0.6 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; forward conduction path |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node during regulation; Zener breakdown occurs here |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter output voltage control in regulated supplies without post-regulation trimming |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Ensures reliable solderability and compliance with environmental directives without Sn/Pb |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints for SMT-compatible handling |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces need for special ESD handling during board assembly and testing |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Provides lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants, improving power handling in compact layouts |

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) instead of ±2% | Lower cost where tighter regulation not required; higher VZ spread affects feedback loop stability margin | Select when budget constraints outweigh precision needs and system tolerances allow ±5% VZ variation |
| MMSZ4705ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, same 16 V ±5%, 500 mW rating | Not drop-in compatible; requires PCB redesign; lower power derating limits sustained current | Choose only for space-constrained designs accepting reduced power capability and layout change |
Compared with 1N4745A and MMSZ4705ET1G, the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 delivers superior voltage accuracy and higher power handling in an axial-leaded through-hole format ideal for prototyping, industrial power supplies, and legacy-replacement scenarios.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4745CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4745CPE3/TR8 has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by the "C" suffix in its part number per Microsemi's documentation. This means its nominal 16 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 15.68 V and 16.32 V at 15.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports higher-accuracy regulation than standard ±5% variants like the 1N4745A.
Is the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "e3" suffix in its full part number. Microsemi specifies that the "e3" denotes RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on the DO-41 leads, fully satisfying EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements without lead or other restricted substances.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N4745CPE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm carrier tape and 1,000 units per reel. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly and is distinct from bulk or ammo-pack options. The base device remains identical electrically and mechanically to non-TR variants.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 at room temperature?
At TA = 25 °C, the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 supports a maximum continuous Zener current of 285 mA, derived from its 1.0 W power rating and 16 V nominal voltage (IZM = PZ / VZ ≈ 1000 mW / 16 V). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MAXIMUM REGULATOR CURRENT (IZM) TA = 50°C", with derating applied linearly above 50 °C.
Can the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4745CPE3/TR8 uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4745A (SMA package) and MLL4745A (SOD-123), though these differ in power rating, thermal performance, and footprint. Board redesign is required to substitute any SMT variant for the 1N4745CPE3/TR8.
