Product details
Overview
1N4748CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 22 V, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package with ±2% voltage tolerance (C suffix), 11.5 mA test current (IZT), 23 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and rated for -65°C to +150°C operation. It provides precise voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4748CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4748CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N4748CE3/TR13 application, or 1N4748CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (205 mA), reverse leakage (<5 µA at 16.7 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with sharp knee characteristics verified per MicroNote 202, using 10% AC superimposition on DC test current to measure dynamic impedance. Its 22 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5.6 V, typical for this family.
The device uses void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation with axial leads, cathode band polarity marking, and is moisture-sensitive Level 1 per J-STD-020B-no dry pack required. Thermal performance is specified at 3/8" lead length (45°C/W) and on FR4 board (105°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V ±2% at 11.5 mA - ensures stable reference within tight tolerance across production lots |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - supports continuous regulation without derating below 105°C lead temperature |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 11.5 mA - low AC impedance maintains regulation stability under varying load currents |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <5 µA at VR = 16.7 V - minimal off-state current preserves efficiency in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 205 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) - enables accurate thermal design for PCB trace heat sinking |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - qualified for industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace 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 | Same 22 V, 1 W, DO-41, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) and non-RoHS Sn/Pb plating | Acceptable where tighter tolerance not required and legacy Pb-based assembly used | Select 1N4748CE3/TR13 when RoHS compliance and ±2% regulation accuracy are mandatory |
| MMSZ4702ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123, 22 V, ±5%, 500 mW, 30 Ω ZZT - lower power, smaller footprint | Used in space-constrained PCBs where axial leads are incompatible with layout or automated placement | Choose MMSZ4702ET1G only if board area is critical and 500 mW dissipation suffices |
Compared with 1N4748A and MMSZ4702ET1G, the 1N4748CE3/TR13 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, ±2% tolerance, and full 1 W power handling in axial DO-41 form-making it optimal for industrial power supplies requiring long-term calibration stability and environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4748CE3/TR13?
The 1N4748CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its measured breakdown voltage at 11.5 mA test current falls between 21.56 V and 22.44 V at 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports precision reference applications where standard ±5% devices would introduce unacceptable error.
Does the 1N4748CE3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4748CE3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It is classified as moisture sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking or humidity-controlled packaging. This simplifies inventory handling and eliminates floor-life tracking for surface mount or through-hole assembly lines.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4748CE3/TR13?
The 1N4748CE3/TR13 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating of 205 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating reflects its ability to absorb short-duration overvoltage transients-such as ESD or inductive kickback-without permanent parametric shift or failure, supporting reliable clamp function in protection circuits.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4748CE3/TR13 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4748CE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W at 3/8" (10 mm) lead length, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises junction temperature 45°C above lead temperature. For reliable 1 W operation, PCB traces connected to its leads should provide adequate copper area and thermal relief; mounting on FR4 with 4 mm² pads yields 105°C/W junction-to-ambient, requiring ambient derating above 45°C.
Is the 1N4748CE3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the 1N4748CE3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and is rated for solder temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds-fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its UL94V-0 epoxy body withstands repeated thermal cycling without cracking or delamination, ensuring process robustness in high-volume manufacturing.
