Product details
Overview
1N4745P/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 (IZT), and 16 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT-used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4745P/TR8 datasheet, 1N4745P/TR8 pinout, 1N4745P/TR8 application, or 1N4745P/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors 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 "e3" plating option.
Technical Context
The 1N4745P/TR8 operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 16 V output across a wide current range (0.25–15.5 mA), with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its DO-41 plastic encapsulation delivers lower thermal resistance than glass-body variants (G suffix) and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
Designed for axial-lead mounting, it features tin-lead or matte-tin plating compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, cathode band polarity marking, and 1.2 V forward voltage max at 200 mA-enabling reliable bidirectional use in clamp and reference topologies under industrial temperature conditions (–65 °C to +150 °C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16 V ±5% at 15.5 mA - defines regulated output level with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 16 Ω at IZT = 15.5 mA - indicates low AC impedance for minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 µA max at 12.2 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 285 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables accurate thermal design for PCB trace heatsinking |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - qualifies for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, cathode indicated by colored band; terminals are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated for solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to regulated voltage node; must be held positive relative to anode for breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1 W Zener | Industry-standard footprint and electrical behavior compatible with legacy designs and automated assembly |
| Plastic P-suffix construction | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance-15% lower than glass-body G-suffix equivalents for improved power handling |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" option | Matte-tin plating meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is solderable without lead-free process requalification |
| MIL-STD-750 ESD robustness | Nonsensitive to electrostatic discharge per Method 1020-eliminates need for special handling in production environments |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B-reduces inventory management overhead and BOM cost |

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 DO-35 package; higher 65 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | Less suitable for high-power-density layouts where lead heatsinking is critical | Select 1N4745P/TR8 when board space permits axial leads and thermal performance is prioritized |
| BZX55C16 | 0.5 W rating, 16 V ±5%, DO-35 package; 40 Ω ZZT at 5 mA - higher impedance and lower power | Limited to low-current biasing; not rated for 285 mA surge events | Choose BZX55C16 only for space-constrained, low-power signal-level regulation |
Compared with 1N4745A and BZX55C16, the 1N4745P/TR8 delivers superior thermal management (45 °C/W), higher surge capability (285 mA), and plastic-package reliability-making it optimal for industrial power rails where long-term stability under thermal cycling matters.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4745P/TR8?
The 1N4745P/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 16 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This tolerance is specified at 15.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The 1N4745P/TR8 does not offer tighter 1% or 2% tolerances-those require "D" or "C" suffix variants like 1N4745D or 1N4745C, which are distinct orderable parts.
Does the 1N4745P/TR8 support RoHS compliance?
Yes, the 1N4745P/TR8 is available in RoHS-compliant form with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4745P/TR8e3), featuring annealed matte-tin plating that meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Standard versions use tin-lead plating. Both meet MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 solderability requirements, and the "e3" variant requires no process change for lead-free reflow.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4745P/TR8?
The 1N4745P/TR8 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 285 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating applies only to single-event transients; repeated surges must respect average power limits and thermal derating curves shown in Figure 1 of the Microsemi datasheet.
How does the DO-41 plastic package of the 1N4745P/TR8 compare thermally to glass-body Zeners?
The DO-41 plastic package of the 1N4745P/TR8 achieves 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance-significantly lower than the 65 °C/W typical of DO-35 glass-body equivalents like the 1N4745A. This 31% improvement enables higher sustained power dissipation in lead-heatsinked layouts and reduces thermal stress during transient overload conditions.
Can the 1N4745P/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4745P/TR8 is an axial-leaded DO-41 device and is not surface-mount compatible. Microsemi offers surface-mount equivalents-such as SMAJ4745A (SMA package) and MLL4745A (SOD-123)-which share identical electrical specs but require different PCB footprints and reflow profiles. These alternatives are not drop-in replacements for the 1N4745P/TR8.
