Product details
Overview
1N4747CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 20 V, 5% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 12.5 mA test current (IZT), 22 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA reverse leakage at 15.2 V (VR), used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4747CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4747CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N4747CE3/TR13 application, or 1N4747CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (225 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13) for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. It delivers regulated 20 V with ±5% initial tolerance and exhibits low dynamic impedance (22 Ω at 12.5 mA) for minimal voltage deviation under dynamic current changes.
Designed for axial-lead 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 - enabling reliable operation in industrial power rails and analog reference stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±5% at 12.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight initial accuracy for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load for PCB-level thermal design |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 22 Ω at IZT = 12.5 mA - determines small-signal voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 15.2 V - ensures low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 225 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal modeling for lead-length-dependent derating |
| Operating Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - qualifies for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by colored band; terminals are unmarked anode and banded cathode - polarity critical for Zener operation (cathode positive relative to anode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased input terminal | Connected to lower-potential node; carries full Zener current during regulation |
| Cathode | Regulated output terminal | Banded end; held at stable 20 V above anode when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Enables lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity |
| JEDEC-registered 1N47xxA series | Guarantees standardized electrical behavior and interchangeability across qualified suppliers |
| Low thermal resistance (45 °C/W) | Supports higher power density than glass-body variants (e.g., 1N4747A-G) in same footprint |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR13) | Facilitates high-speed pick-and-place assembly with EIA-296 standard carrier tape |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4747A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not compliant with lead-free manufacturing; requires Pb-containing solder process | Select 1N4747A only for legacy Pb-based assembly lines |
| MMSZ4704T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 20 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Lower power handling and different thermal profile; unsuitable for 1 W continuous use | Choose MMSZ4704T1G only for space-constrained, low-power PCB layouts |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4747CE3/TR13?
The 1N4747CE3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed by the "C" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's documentation. This tolerance applies at 12.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The 1N4747CE3/TR13 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C, supporting stable reference performance in demanding environments.
Is the 1N4747CE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4747CE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, indicated by the "e3" suffix in the part number, denoting annealed matte-tin plating per Microsemi's specification. It meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering. The 1N4747CE3/TR13 is moisture-sensitive Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, requiring no dry pack prior to assembly.
What package type does the 1N4747CE3/TR13 use?
The 1N4747CE3/TR13 uses the DO-41 (also designated DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package, with cathode identified by a colored band. Its mechanical dimensions conform to JEDEC standards, and it weighs 0.7 grams. The 1N4747CE3/TR13 is supplied in EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel format (TR13), optimized for automated placement equipment.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4747CE3/TR13?
The 1N4747CE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) rating of 225 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating enables the 1N4747CE3/TR13 to safely clamp transient overvoltages in power rails and I/O protection circuits without parametric shift or failure, provided average power remains within 1.0 W limits.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4747CE3/TR13 affect PCB layout?
With a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 10 mm lead length, the 1N4747CE3/TR13 requires careful lead trimming and board copper area planning to avoid exceeding 105 °C lead temperature at full 1.0 W dissipation. The 1N4747CE3/TR13 benefits from ≥4 mm² copper pads and ≥1 mm track width to achieve specified thermal performance - unlike surface-mount alternatives with higher junction-to-ambient resistance.
