Product details
Overview
1N4747E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 20 V ±5% 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). It operates from –65°C to +150°C and regulates voltage in low-power reference and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4747E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4747E3/TR13 pinout, 1N4747E3/TR13 application, or 1N4747E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (225 mA), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13).
Technical Context
This axial-lead silicon Zener diode provides precise voltage regulation via controlled reverse-breakdown conduction. Its 20 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 12.5 mA IZT with ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), and it maintains stable regulation across –65°C to +150°C ambient range.
The device exhibits 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 0.25 A maximum regulator current (IZM) at TA = 50°C, and 225 mA non-repetitive surge current (ISM) under 1/120 s pulse conditions - enabling robust transient suppression in power supply feedback paths and overvoltage clamping.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±5% at 12.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt reference designs |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 22 Ω at IZT - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load changes |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4747E3/TR13?
The 1N4747E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a ±5% tolerance, confirmed by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation and verified in Microsemi's official datasheet revision C (2005). This tolerance applies at 12.5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The 1N4747E3/TR13 meets this specification across its full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C.
Does the 1N4747E3/TR13 support automated assembly?
Yes, the 1N4747E3/TR13 is supplied in EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel format (indicated by "TR13" suffix), enabling direct use in high-speed pick-and-place equipment. Its RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating ensures reliable solderability at 260°C for 10 seconds, and its moisture sensitivity level 1 classification eliminates dry-pack requirements prior to reflow.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4747E3/TR13?
The 1N4747E3/TR13 is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) < 105°C with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body, or at ambient temperature (TA) < 45°C when mounted on FR4 board with specified copper pad geometry. Derating is required above these temperatures per Figure 1 in the Microsemi datasheet.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4747E3/TR13 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4747E3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W, meaning each watt dissipated raises junction temperature 45°C above lead temperature. To maintain reliability, PCB layout should ensure ≥10 mm lead length from body and avoid excessive copper pour near leads that could trap heat; thermal relief patterns are recommended for solder joints.
Is the 1N4747E3/TR13 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the 1N4747E3/TR13 is rated for –65°C to +150°C operating and storage temperature, exceeding typical automotive under-hood requirements (–40°C to +125°C). Its MIL-STD-750 qualified terminals, ESD immunity (Method 1020), and moisture-insensitive Level 1 packaging make it appropriate for engine control units and body electronics where thermal and environmental stress is high.
