Product details
Overview
1N4745E3/TR13 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 (IZT), and 16 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4745E3/TR13 pinout, 1N4745E3/TR13 application, or 1N4745E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (285 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. It features a sharp knee in the breakdown curve verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202, and exhibits low temperature coefficient near zero crossing (~0 mV/°C) due to its 16 V nominal rating.
The device is rated for 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at lead temperature <105 °C (3/8" from body) or ambient <45 °C on FR4 board, with thermal resistance of 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient under defined PCB layout (4 mm² copper pad, 1 mm trace width). Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 16 V ±5% at 15.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in feedback loops with predictable error band |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous heat removal capability with standard lead mounting |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω at IZT = 15.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 5 μA at VR = 12.2 V - ensures low leakage below regulation threshold in standby modes |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 285 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with known temperature rise per watt at lead |
| Operating Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4745E3/TR13?
The 1N4745E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the base part number. This tolerance is specified at 15.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table.
Does the 1N4745E3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4745E3/TR13 does not require dry packing before PCB assembly because it is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy body and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating ensure robust handling in standard factory environments without baking or humidity-controlled storage.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4745E3/TR13?
The 1N4745E3/TR13 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 supports transient overvoltage suppression in automotive and industrial applications, including ISO 7637-2 load dump events on 12 V systems.
Is the 1N4745E3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4745E3/TR13 is compatible with lead-free reflow soldering: its matte-tin plating meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and it withstands solder temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds - satisfying JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements for Pb-free assembly. The DO-41 package remains mechanically stable under these thermal profiles.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4745E3/TR13 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4745E3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W, meaning each watt dissipated raises the junction temperature 45 °C above lead temperature. For reliable operation at 1 W, keep lead temperature below 105 °C - achieved by maintaining ≥3/8" (10 mm) lead length from body and avoiding excessive copper pour that traps heat near the diode body.
