Product details
Overview
1N4749CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 24 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 10.5 mA test current (IZT), 25 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 750 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 50°C. It provides precise voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4749CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N4749CE3/TR13 application, or 1N4749CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 2% Zener voltage tolerance, low 25 Ω dynamic impedance at 10.5 mA, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, axial-leaded DO-41 mechanical form factor, and 750 mA IZM capability under thermal derating conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 24 V output across varying load currents from 1 mA to 750 mA, with temperature coefficient of +12 mV/°C typical per Figure 3. Its 25 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under transient current changes.
The device uses void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), features cathode band polarity marking, and meets MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD insensitivity. Thermal resistance is 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) and 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749CE3/TR13?
The 1N4749CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its measured breakdown voltage at 10.5 mA test current falls within 23.52 V to 24.48 V at 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports precision reference applications where ±5% variants like 1N4749A would introduce unacceptable error margins.
Does the 1N4749CE3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4749CE3/TR13 does not require dry packing because it is moisture sensitivity level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy body prevents moisture absorption, eliminating floor-life restrictions and bake requirements prior to reflow or wave soldering-simplifying manufacturing logistics for high-volume production.
What is the maximum continuous current the 1N4749CE3/TR13 can regulate at 50°C ambient?
At 50°C ambient temperature, the 1N4749CE3/TR13 supports a maximum continuous regulator current (IZM) of 750 mA. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects the device's ability to safely dissipate power while maintaining stable 24 V regulation-provided thermal design meets the 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance condition on FR4 board.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4749CE3/TR13?
The 1N4749CE3/TR13 uses a cathode band-typically a single painted stripe near one lead end-to indicate the cathode terminal. During Zener operation, this banded end must be held at a higher potential than the anode. The marking is laser-etched or ink-printed per JEDEC standards and remains visible after standard soldering processes.
Is the 1N4749CE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4749CE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its part number. Microsemi specifies that "e3" denotes RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on leads, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations, is available from Microchip Technology's product change notices.
