Product details
Overview
1N4745CP/TR8 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, and 16 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745CP/TR8 datasheet, 1N4745CP/TR8 pinout, 1N4745CP/TR8 application, or 1N4745CP/TR8 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 at 12.2 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across varying load and line conditions. It delivers regulated output at 16 V with 15.5 mA test current and exhibits low dynamic impedance (16 Ω) for minimal voltage deviation under dynamic current changes.
Designed for axial-leaded mounting on FR4 PCBs, it features 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length and supports steady-state dissipation of 1.0 W below 105 °C lead temperature or 45 °C ambient when mounted with specified copper pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±5% at 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 defined lead-temperature condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω at IZT = 15.5 mA - determines small-signal AC voltage variation during load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | <5 µA at VR = 12.2 V - ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby regulation mode |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 285 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - defines short-duration overload capability without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables thermal design with predictable junction temperature rise |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in extended industrial and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by color band; terminals are non-polarized leads - anode and cathode defined solely by band marking, requiring banded end to be biased positive for Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current sink in forward bias; reference node in reverse bias | Connected to lower-potential side of regulation circuit; must be held negative relative to cathode for Zener conduction |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node in reverse bias | Provides stable 16 V reference when reverse-biased; polarity marking is critical for correct orientation on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N47xxAP series | Ensures cross-manufacturer compatibility and standardized mechanical/electrical behavior per industry baseline |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints, simplifying SMT and manual assembly logistics |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix option | Meets global environmental compliance mandates without performance trade-offs in Zener characteristics |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces handling precautions and eliminates need for special ESD workstations during board assembly |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Delivers lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants, improving power handling in compact layouts |
Applications
| Switching Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulates output voltage in flyback or forward converter feedback networks using optocoupler-coupled error amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides precise 16 V reference to bias TL431 or similar shunt regulator ICs in secondary-side control loops. Use Value: Maintains ±5% output regulation over temperature and line variations due to stable VZ and low ZZT. | Use Scenario: Supplies stable excitation voltage to bridge-based pressure or strain sensors in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a two-terminal voltage reference replacing higher-cost IC references where 1% accuracy is not required. Use Value: Delivers 16 V ±5% with <5 µA leakage at 12.2 V, minimizing sensor offset drift and self-heating errors. |
| Overvoltage Protection Clamp | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |

Use Value: Operates reliably from –65 °C to +150 °C, ensuring deterministic reset assertion across wide environmental ranges. |
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 "P" suffix → glass-body construction; higher thermal resistance (105 °C/W junction-to-ambient vs. 45 °C/W for 1N4745CP/TR8) | Less suitable for high-power-density layouts; requires larger copper area or forced cooling for same power dissipation | Select 1N4745CP/TR8 when thermal management is constrained or moisture sensitivity must be avoided |
| BZX55C16 | 0.5 W rating, 16 V ±5%, DO-35 package; 200 mA surge rating vs. 285 mA for 1N4745CP/TR8 | Lower power handling limits use in >500 mW regulation nodes; smaller footprint but reduced surge margin | Choose BZX55C16 only for space-constrained, low-current reference applications where 1 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4745A and BZX55C16, the 1N4745CP/TR8 offers superior thermal performance in plastic packaging and higher surge current capacity, making it preferred for industrial power supplies and ruggedized sensor interfaces where reliability under thermal stress and transient overload is critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4745CP/TR8?
The 1N4745CP/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 16 V regulation point falls within 15.2 V to 16.8 V at 15.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, meeting JEDEC 1N47xxA standard specifications.
Does the 1N4745CP/TR8 require dry packing before soldering?
No, the 1N4745CP/TR8 does not require dry packing. Its plastic DO-41 package is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has unlimited floor life and may be processed directly without baking or humidity-controlled storage.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4745CP/TR8?
The 1N4745CP/TR8 has a maximum 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 clamping scenarios and assumes proper series current limiting.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4745CP/TR8 compare to glass-body variants?
The 1N4745CP/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 10 mm lead length, significantly lower than the 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient rating typical of glass-body 1N4745A devices. This enables higher sustained power dissipation in compact layouts without exceeding junction temperature limits.
Is the 1N4745CP/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4745CP/TR8 is RoHS compliant. The "e3" designation in its full ordering code confirms annealed matte-tin plating per RoHS requirements, and its void-free thermosetting epoxy body meets UL94V-0 flammability standards.
