Product details
Overview
1N4748APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 22 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 11.5 mA test current (IZT), 23 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA reverse leakage at 16.7 V (VR). It operates across –65°C to +150°C and regulates voltage in low-power reference and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4748APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4748APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4748APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4748APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (205 mA), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8).
Technical Context
This axial-lead silicon Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device, operating in reverse breakdown with sharp knee characteristics verified per MicroNote 202. Its regulation stability relies on controlled 22 V nominal Zener voltage at 11.5 mA IZT and low 23 Ω dynamic impedance at that current.
The device uses void-free UL94V-0 thermosetting epoxy encapsulation with tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, marked with cathode band polarity and full part number. It meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity (Method 1020) and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V ±5% at 11.5 mA IZT - defines precise regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Dynamic Impedance | 23 Ω at IZT = 11.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at VR = 16.7 V - ensures minimal off-state current in shunt regulation |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 205 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping capability |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with discrete lead heatsinking |
| Operating Temp | –65°C to +150°C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4748A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; tin-lead termination only; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; requires Pb-based solder process | Select when legacy Pb-Sn assembly is mandated and RoHS exemption applies |
| MMBZ5248BS | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 22 V ±5%; 100 mW rating; 25 Ω ZZT; different thermal profile | Lower power handling (100 mW vs. 1 W); unsuitable for high-current regulation or surge clamping | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 22 V reference is needed at ≤100 mW dissipation |
Compared with 1N4748A and MMBZ5248BS, the 1N4748APE3/TR8 uniquely combines 1 W power rating, DO-41 mechanical robustness, RoHS compliance, and tape-and-reel automation support-making it optimal for industrial power rails requiring reliable 22 V shunt regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4748APE3/TR8?
The 1N4748APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed by its "A" suffix per JEDEC registration. This tolerance is measured at 11.5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The 1N4748APE3/TR8 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, making it suitable for applications demanding stable reference accuracy under thermal stress.
Does the 1N4748APE3/TR8 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4748APE3/TR8 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, indicated by its "e3" suffix denoting RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. The device uses lead-free terminations and void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, eliminating the need for dry packing or baking before assembly-critical for RoHS-compliant manufacturing flows.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4748APE3/TR8?
The 1N4748APE3/TR8 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 205 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating enables the 1N4748APE3/TR8 to safely clamp transient overvoltages on 24 V systems without degradation. Surge capability is validated per Microsemi's test methodology and correlates directly with its 1 W steady-state power rating and thermal resistance profile.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4748APE3/TR8?
The 1N4748APE3/TR8 uses a cathode band marking on the plastic DO-41 body to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode to achieve Zener breakdown regulation. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-204AL standards and is visible under standard visual inspection. Forward voltage is specified at ≤1.2 V @ 200 mA, confirming standard silicon diode behavior in forward bias.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N4748APE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix in 1N4748APE3/TR8 indicates EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging with 8 mm carrier tape width and 1000 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly despite the axial-leaded DO-41 form factor. The 1N4748APE3/TR8 reel is compatible with industry-standard feeders and provides full traceability per unit, fulfilling requirements for high-volume industrial and automotive production lines.
