Product details
Overview
1N4745CRL from ON Semiconductor (formerly Motorola) is a 16 V ±2% precision Zener voltage regulator diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW DC power dissipation at 50°C ambient, with 15.5 mA test current, 16 Ω dynamic impedance, and 5 µA maximum leakage at 12.2 V reverse bias. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power linear regulators and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745CRL datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance dependence on lead length, junction temperature limits (–65°C to +200°C), surge current rating (285 mA non-repetitive), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with axial-leaded PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This silicon Zener diode uses metallurgically bonded, oxide-passivated die construction in a hermetically sealed double-slug DO-35 glass case. Its regulation relies on controlled avalanche breakdown at 16 V nominal, with temperature coefficient of +3.5 mV/°C (typical for 12–100 V range).
The device operates with cathode-positive polarity in zener mode and requires thermal management via lead-to-heat-sink length - junction-to-lead thermal resistance drops from ~175°C/W at 1″ lead length to ~25°C/W at 3/8″ per Figure 3. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.3 V min / 17.1 V max at IZT = 15 mA - defines tight ±2% tolerance band for precision reference use |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TA = 50°C - derates linearly to zero at 150°C ambient; requires heatsinking above 50°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω max @ IZT = 15 mA - determines output voltage stability under load current variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 5 µA max @ VR = 12.2 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Surge Current (ir) | 285 mA peak, non-repetitive, 1/120 s pulse - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction Temperature Range | –65°C to +200°C - enables operation in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.2 V @ IF = 200 mA - confirms low-loss forward conduction for bidirectional protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package: hermetically sealed double-slug construction, cathode indicated by color band; leads are corrosion-resistant and solderable at 230°C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node in zener configuration | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; carries full zener current when regulating |
| Cathode | Regulated output node in zener configuration | Provides stable 16 V reference; must be held positive relative to anode during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables direct replacement in precision 16 V reference designs without calibration adjustment |
| Oxide-passivated die | Ensures long-term parameter stability and reduced surface leakage in humid environments |
| Metallurgically bonded construction | Provides robust thermal cycling performance and low interfacial resistance for reliable heat transfer |
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift over 15+ year service life in sealed enclosures |
| Cathode band polarity marking | Eliminates assembly errors in manual or automated placement; visible under 10× magnification |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in discrete linear regulators (e.g., LM317-based circuits) and analog sensor excitation supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as two-terminal shunt voltage reference. Use Value: Delivers 16 V ±2% accuracy with <16 Ω dynamic impedance, minimizing load-regulation error across 1–15 mA current range. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins or ADC inputs from ESD-induced transients exceeding 16 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamping element limiting voltage excursion to safe levels. Use Value: Absorbs 285 mA non-repetitive surge (per JEDEC) while holding clamped voltage within 17.1 V, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage. |
| Temperature-Stable Bias Generator | Low-Cost Voltage Monitor |
Use Scenario: Generating bias currents for op-amp input stages where drift must remain below 100 ppm/°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage source feeding resistor-divider network. Use Value: Temperature coefficient of +3.5 mV/°C (typical) yields <±0.25% drift over –40°C to +85°C, enabling stable bias without compensation. |
Use Scenario: Detecting brown-out conditions in battery-powered devices using comparator threshold set at 16 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed reference input to voltage comparator (e.g., LM393). Use Value: Tight ±2% tolerance ensures detection threshold remains within 0.32 V of nominal, avoiding false triggers in noisy 12 V systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX85C16RL | Same 16 V ±2%, DO-41 package (1 W rating), higher surge current (285 mA same), 200°C max TJ | Higher power handling allows sustained 1 W dissipation with heatsinking; larger DO-41 footprint | Select when board layout permits larger package and >500 mW continuous power is required |
| MZPY16RL | Same 16 V ±2%, DO-35 package, identical 500 mW rating, but 10 Ω max ZZT (vs. 16 Ω) | Lower dynamic impedance improves regulation under fast load steps; same thermal profile | Select when tighter AC regulation is critical and MZPY16RL's tighter ZZ spec meets design margin |
Compared with 1N4745CRL, BZX85C16RL offers higher power headroom in a larger package, while MZPY16RL delivers lower dynamic impedance in the same DO-35 form factor - both retain ±2% tolerance and 16 V nominal, making them functionally aligned alternatives for reference and clamp roles.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for 1N4745CRL at 25°C?
The 1N4745CRL has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 15.3 V minimum to 17.1 V maximum when tested at 15 mA (IZT) and 25°C ambient, reflecting its ±2% tolerance designation per JEDEC standards. This range is verified under controlled lead temperature (30°C ±1°C at 3/8″ from body) per Motorola documentation.
Can 1N4745CRL be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N4745CRL is exclusively available in the axial-leaded DO-35 glass package and is not compatible with SMT reflow processes. Its glass body and lead geometry require through-hole mounting; for SMT equivalents, consider ON Semiconductor's NSZV16F or similar SOD-123 packaged Zeners.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for 1N4745CRL?
The 1N4745CRL has a specified operating and storage junction temperature range of –65°C to +200°C. Exceeding +200°C risks permanent degradation of the oxide-passivated die and metallurgical bonds, even if power dissipation remains within rated limits.
How does lead length affect thermal performance of 1N4745CRL?
Lead length directly impacts junction-to-ambient thermal resistance: per Figure 3, junction-to-lead thermal resistance (θJL) drops from ~175°C/W at 1″ lead length to ~25°C/W at 3/8″. Shorter leads improve heat transfer to PCB copper or external heatsinks, enabling higher continuous power in constrained thermal environments.
Is 1N4745CRL suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - the 1N4745CRL is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. For bidirectional ESD protection, use purpose-built TVS diodes like P6KE16CA (bidirectional, 16 V standoff) or dual-diode arrays; forward conduction (≤1.2 V @ 200 mA) is not rated for repetitive surge handling.
