Product details
Overview
1N4748AP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 22 V ±5%, 11.5 mA test current (IZT), 23 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and maximum reverse current 5 μA at 16.7 V. It regulates voltage in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and voltage-clamping circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4748AP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4748AP/TR12 pinout, 1N4748AP/TR12 application, or 1N4748AP/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (205 mA), RoHS-compliant "e3" plating, and DO-41 package compatibility with standard axial-lead PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its 22 V nominal zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V, with typical TC of +5.5 mV/°C per Figure 3. The 1.0 W power rating is valid at 25 °C lead temperature (TL), derating linearly to zero at 105 °C TL.
It features a sharp knee in the breakdown curve verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement (IZT and IZK), ensuring stable regulation. The DO-41 plastic package provides moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020B, eliminating dry-pack requirements, and supports soldering at 260 °C for 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 22 V ±5% at 11.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference generation |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling on 3/8″ lead length |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 11.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA max at VR = 16.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby clamping applications |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 205 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design using lead heatsinking in compact layouts |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - validated for automotive under-hood and industrial control 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 (Microsemi) | No "TR12" tape-and-reel packaging; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Requires manual loading or bulk feed; unsuitable for high-speed SMT placement | Select 1N4748AP/TR12 for automated assembly; choose 1N4748A for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldering |
| MMBZ5248BS (ON Semiconductor) | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 22 V ±5%, 100 mW rating, 25 Ω Zzt | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; not suitable for >100 mA regulation loads | Choose MMBZ5248BS only for space-constrained PCBs where 1.0 W dissipation is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1N4748AP/TR12?
The 1N4748AP/TR12 has a nominal zener voltage of 22 V with ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix per JEDEC standard. This tolerance applies at 11.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The "P" denotes plastic package, and "TR12" specifies 12 mm pitch tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Can 1N4748AP/TR12 replace 1N4748A in existing designs?
Yes, the 1N4748AP/TR12 is electrically and mechanically identical to 1N4748A except for packaging: it uses tape-and-reel (TR12) instead of bulk or ammo pack. Both share DO-41 package, 22 V ±5% Vz, 1.0 W rating, and RoHS-compliant "e3" plating. No layout or schematic changes are needed.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N4748AP/TR12?
The 1N4748AP/TR12 sustains 1.0 W steady-state power at lead temperature (TL) below 105 °C with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body. On FR4 board with specified copper area, derating begins above 45 °C ambient, reaching zero at 105 °C ambient per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
How is polarity marked on 1N4748AP/TR12?
The cathode of 1N4748AP/TR12 is marked by a distinct color band on the plastic DO-41 body. During Zener operation, the banded end must be held positive relative to the unmarked (anode) end. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA, confirming standard silicon diode polarity.
Is 1N4748AP/TR12 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1N4748AP/TR12 operates from –65 °C to +150 °C and meets MIL-PRF-19500 screening levels when ordered with appropriate prefixes (e.g., MV1N4748AP/TR12 for JANTXV). Its moisture sensitivity level 1 and ESD immunity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 support under-hood deployment.
