Product details
Overview
1N4747UR-1/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 1.0 W glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 20 V ±5%, 12.5 mA test current, 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum reverse current 5 μA at 15.2 V. It operates from −65 °C to +175 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in high-density power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4747UR-1/TR datasheet, 1N4747UR-1/TR pinout, 1N4747UR-1/TR application, or 1N4747UR-1/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (130 °C/W on FR4), surge current rating (750 mA), hermetic DO-213AB package, and RoHS-compliant e3 plating.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference diode operating in reverse breakdown. Its Zener voltage is specified at 20 V with ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), measured 90 s after DC current application, and exhibits 22 Ω dynamic impedance at 12.5 mA test current.
The DO-213AB glass MELF package provides hermetic sealing, inherent radiation hardness per MicroNote 050, and low parasitic capacitance. It supports steady-state dissipation of 1.0 W below 125 °C end-cap temperature or 45 °C ambient on FR4 with recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V ±5% - stable regulation point for feedback networks requiring tight voltage reference accuracy |
| Test Current (IZT) | 12.5 mA - defined operating point for specifying VZ and dynamic impedance |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 22 Ω @ IZT - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 5 μA @ 15.2 V - confirms sharp knee and low leakage below regulation threshold |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W @ TEC < 125 °C - defines safe continuous operation limit with thermal derating above that temperature |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +175 °C - enables use in extended industrial, aerospace, and downhole environments |
| Thermal Resistance | 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 - determines required PCB copper area and heatsinking for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB glass MELF - hermetically sealed, leadless cylindrical surface-mount package with cathode band marking; dimensions A = 2.39–2.66 mm, B = 4.80–5.20 mm, C = 0.41–0.55 mm; weight 0.05 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-biased terminal | Connected to regulated voltage node; must be held positive relative to anode for Zener conduction |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/ground terminal | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4747AUR-1/TR | Same Zener voltage (20 V), same ±5% tolerance, identical DO-213AB package, but lacks e3 RoHS suffix | No difference in function or mounting; non-RoHS version may be selected where legacy compliance or tin-lead soldering is required | Choose 1N4747AUR-1/TR only if RoHS exemption applies; otherwise prefer e3-compliant 1N4747UR-1/TR |
| SMAJ4747A | Same 20 V Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, but uses SMA package (plastic, not glass); higher thermal resistance (~150 °C/W) | Lower cost and higher volume availability, but reduced reliability in high-radiation or high-humidity environments | Select SMAJ4747A for commercial-grade cost-sensitive designs; avoid where hermeticity or radiation hardness is mandatory |
Compared with 1N4747AUR-1/TR and SMAJ4747A, the 1N4747UR-1/TR delivers guaranteed RoHS compliance, hermetic glass sealing, and proven radiation hardness-making it the preferred choice for high-reliability, extended-temperature, and mission-critical regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4747UR-1/TR?
The 1N4747UR-1/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 20 V with a tolerance of ±5%, indicated by the "A" suffix in its designation. This tolerance is verified at 12.5 mA test current and 30 °C case temperature, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +175 °C. The 1N4747UR-1/TR maintains this specification due to its hermetic glass construction and process-controlled doping.
Does the 1N4747UR-1/TR require external ESD protection?
No, the 1N4747UR-1/TR is explicitly characterized as nonsensitive to ESD per manufacturer documentation, eliminating the need for external transient suppression or handling precautions beyond standard SMT practices. This property stems from its glass MELF structure and internal junction design, and is confirmed in the "Applications / Benefits" section of the official Microsemi datasheet for the 1N4747UR-1/TR.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4747UR-1/TR?
The 1N4747UR-1/TR has a maximum surge current rating of 750 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating reflects its ability to withstand short-duration overvoltage events in power supply clamp or transient protection roles without degradation, and is validated under JEDEC-standard test conditions referenced in the datasheet notes.
Is the 1N4747UR-1/TR compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1N4747UR-1/TR carries the "e3" suffix, indicating RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating that meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its DO-213AB glass body is inherently compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles, and no special prebake or handling is required prior to assembly.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4747UR-1/TR affect PCB layout?
The 1N4747UR-1/TR has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 130 °C/W when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and the recommended footprint. To maintain safe operation at full 1.0 W dissipation, the PCB must provide adequate copper area and thermal vias-especially near the cathode and anode terminations-to limit end-cap temperature below 125 °C. The datasheet specifies exact pad dimensions and layout guidance on Page 3 for optimal thermal performance of the 1N4747UR-1/TR.
