Product details
Overview
1N4749APE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 24 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 10.5 mA test current (IZT), 25 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA reverse leakage at 18.2 V (VR). It operates from –65°C to +150°C and regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749APE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4749APE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4749APE3/TR12 application, or 1N4749APE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (190 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown. Its regulation performance is defined by specified test current (IZT = 10.5 mA), knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), and dynamic impedance (ZZT = 25 Ω at IZT), with temperature coefficient optimized near 24 V.
It exhibits 5 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 18.2 V and withstands 190 mA non-repetitive surge current (ISM) under standardized 1/120 s half-sine conditions. Thermal design must account for 45°C/W junction-to-lead resistance at 10 mm lead length or 105°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with defined copper layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% at IZT = 10.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production tolerance |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL ≤ 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum steady-state thermal load |
| Dynamic Impedance | 25 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤5 μA at VR = 18.2 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current | 190 mA (1/120 s half-sine) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal modeling using standard lead-mounting geometry |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - validated for industrial and extended-temperature environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package with cathode band marking; terminals are unidirectional anode/cathode leads for through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; forward voltage ≤1.2 V at 200 mA |
| Cathode | Zener regulation terminal | Banded end; connected to higher-potential node; maintains 24 V reference when reverse-biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack requirement |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants (e.g., 1N4749AG), improving power handling |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR12) | Standard EIA-296 format supporting automated SMT placement despite axial-leaded form factor |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for special ESD handling in assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A-T | Same 24 V ±5%, 1.0 W, DO-41, but with Pb-free matte-tin plating and no TR12 tape-and-reel packaging | Requires manual or bulk loading instead of automated pick-and-place | Select when RoHS compliance is required but reel packaging is unnecessary |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, same 24 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT, 10 μA IR at 18.2 V | Limited to lower-power applications due to 0.5 W rating and higher impedance | Select for space-constrained PCBs where thermal mass and surge capability are secondary to footprint |
Compared with 1N4749APE3/TR12, 1N4749A-T offers identical electrical specs but lacks tape-and-reel convenience, while MMSZ4702T1G trades power handling and surge robustness for miniaturization-making the 1N4749APE3/TR12 optimal for high-reliability through-hole regulation where board-level automation and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749APE3/TR12?
The 1N4749APE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This means the actual measured VZ at IZT = 10.5 mA falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V under standard test conditions (TL = 25°C ±2°C, 90 s after current application). The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range.
Does the 1N4749APE3/TR12 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N4749APE3/TR12 does not require dry packing prior to soldering. It is moisture-sensitive level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking. Its plastic encapsulation and void-free epoxy body eliminate moisture absorption concerns that would otherwise mandate dry pack or floor-life controls.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4749APE3/TR12?
The 1N4749APE3/TR12 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 190 mA, measured using a 1/120 second half-sine waveform at 25°C ambient. This rating applies to short-duration transients such as inductive kickback or load dump events, and must be derated per the device's power derating curve when ambient or lead temperature exceeds 25°C.
Can the 1N4749APE3/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
The 1N4749APE3/TR12 itself is an axial-leaded DO-41 device and is not surface-mount compatible. However, Microsemi offers direct functional equivalents in SMD packages: the SMAJ4749A (SMA) and MLL4749A (SOD-123) share identical 24 V ±5% regulation and 1.0 W rating. These alternatives require separate part numbers and layout adaptation but maintain electrical equivalence.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate in 1N4749APE3/TR12?
"TR12" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12 mm tape width and component orientation optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminal plating, while "P" specifies plastic encapsulation. Together, 1N4749APE3/TR12 identifies a fully compliant, production-ready Zener diode variant with logistics and assembly support built in.
