Product details
Overview
1N4748P/TR8 from Microsemi is a 22 V, 1 W axial-lead Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package with ±5% voltage tolerance, 11.5 mA test current, and 23 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4748P/TR8 datasheet, 1N4748P/TR8 pinout, 1N4748P/TR8 application, or 1N4748P/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (205 mA), reverse leakage (<5 µA at 16.7 V), and RoHS-compliant "e3" plating option.
Technical Context
The 1N4748P/TR8 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable 22 V regulation across 1.0 mA to 205 mA reverse current range with sharp knee characteristics confirmed by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its DO-41 plastic encapsulation delivers lower thermal resistance than glass-body variants.
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V (≈+3.5 mV/°C at 22 V per Figure 3), supports steady-state 1.0 W dissipation at lead temperature <105 °C (3/8″ from body), and meets MIL-STD-750 ESD immunity (Method 1020) without sensitivity concerns.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V ±5% at IZT = 11.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production control |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on lead-mounted PCB layout |
| Dynamic Impedance | 23 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load transients in feedback networks |

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 TR8 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only; identical electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for automated SMT assembly; requires manual or vibration-feed placement | Select 1N4748P/TR8 when board-level automation and traceable reel logistics are required |
| BZX85C22 | Higher ZZT (50 Ω vs. 23 Ω); 1.3 W power rating; DO-41 but non-JEDEC marking format | Less stable regulation under dynamic load; wider VZ tolerance (±5% typical, not guaranteed) | Choose 1N4748P/TR8 where low-impedance regulation and JEDEC-standard consistency are mandatory |
Compared with 1N4748A and BZX85C22, the 1N4748P/TR8 uniquely combines JEDEC registration, TR8 tape-and-reel compatibility, and industry-low 23 Ω dynamic impedance-making it optimal for high-reliability feedback and reference designs requiring both manufacturability and regulation precision.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4748P/TR8?
The 1N4748P/TR8 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 11.5 mA test current, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This means its actual regulation voltage falls between 20.9 V and 23.1 V under specified test conditions, ensuring predictable performance in feedback and reference applications without requiring post-manufacturing trimming.
Does the 1N4748P/TR8 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4748P/TR8 is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not require dry packing or baking prior to reflow soldering. Its void-free epoxy encapsulation and Level 1 classification eliminate moisture-related popcorning risks, simplifying handling and storage for high-volume manufacturing.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4748P/TR8?
The 1N4748P/TR8 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 value reflects its ability to absorb transient overvoltages without degradation-critical for use in 24 V industrial bus protection and input-stage clamping circuits.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4748P/TR8 compare to glass-body Zeners?
The 1N4748P/TR8 exhibits 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance-approximately 15% lower than equivalent glass-body (G-suffix) versions due to superior heat conduction through its plastic molded package. This allows higher sustained power dissipation at the same lead temperature, improving reliability in thermally constrained layouts.
Is the 1N4748P/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4748P/TR8 is RoHS compliant, featuring annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. The "e3" suffix denotes this compliance, confirming absence of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with full documentation available from Microsemi's official product pages.
