Product details
Overview
1N4749APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 24 V, ±5% tolerance (A suffix), 10.5 mA test current (IZT), 25 Ω maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA maximum reverse leakage at 18.2 V (VR). It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4749APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4749APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4749APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-41 package thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), 24 V regulation stability over -65 °C to +150 °C, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 24 V Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with typical TC near +9.5 mV/°C per Figure 3 - enabling predictable drift compensation in precision references.
The 1N4749APE3/TR8 delivers 190 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at TA = 50 °C and supports surge currents up to 190 mA (ISM) using a ½-sine wave pulse. Its 1.2 V forward voltage at 200 mA ensures low-loss biasing in series-shunt configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% at IZT = 10.5 mA - defines primary regulation point for feedback networks and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω max at IZT = 10.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 18.2 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with discrete lead heatsinking |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial controls |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - allows reliable forward conduction for dual-polarity protection schemes |

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%, DO-41, but non-RoHS tin-lead plating and bulk packaging (no TR8) | Lacks tape-and-reel delivery; not compliant with modern environmental directives | Select when legacy assembly lines require Sn/Pb solder compatibility and manual placement is used |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, same 24 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT | Lower power (0.5 W vs. 1.0 W); unsuitable for >125 mA continuous regulation | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where thermal management permits reduced dissipation |
Compared with 1N4749A-T and MMSZ4702T1G, the 1N4749APE3/TR8 uniquely combines full 1.0 W dissipation, RoHS compliance, and EIA-296 tape-and-reel readiness - making it optimal for high-reliability industrial production requiring traceable, environmentally aligned components.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749APE3/TR8?
The 1N4749APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC registration. 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, 90 s stabilization).
Does the 1N4749APE3/TR8 support automated pick-and-place assembly?
Yes, the 1N4749APE3/TR8 is supplied in EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel format ("TR8" suffix), with 1000 units per reel and 8 mm carrier tape width. Its DO-41 body geometry and matte-tin plating ensure reliable vacuum nozzle pickup and placement accuracy in high-speed SMT lines.
What is the maximum steady-state current the 1N4749APE3/TR8 can regulate at room temperature?
At TA = 25 °C and proper PCB layout (FR4, 1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pads), the 1N4749APE3/TR8 supports up to 190 mA continuous regulator current (IZM) before exceeding its 1.0 W power limit. Derating begins linearly above 45 °C ambient, reaching zero allowable current at 150 °C.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4749APE3/TR8 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4749APE3/TR8 specifies 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length. To avoid exceeding 150 °C junction temperature, keep lead lengths ≥10 mm and use wide copper traces (≥1 mm width, ≥25 mm length) connecting to thermal pads - critical for sustained 1 W operation.
Is the 1N4749APE3/TR8 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the 1N4749APE3/TR8 is rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operating and storage temperature, fully meeting under-hood requirements. Its moisture sensitivity Level 1 and MIL-STD-750 qualified ESD immunity further support deployment in engine control modules and transmission control units.
