Product details
Overview
1N4749CPE3/TR12 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 precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4749CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4749CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4749CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (750 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits low temperature coefficient near zero crossing, with specified knee impedance (ZZK = 38 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA) ensuring sharp regulation onset.
Designed for axial-lead mounting on FR4 PCBs, it delivers 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at lead temperature <105°C (3/8" from body) or ambient <45°C, with thermal resistance of 105°C/W junction-to-ambient under defined copper pad conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 24 V ±2% at IZT = 10.5 mA - ensures tight regulation tolerance for reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - defines maximum continuous thermal load with proper lead heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω at IZT = 10.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 750 mA at TA = 50°C - sets upper limit for sustained Zener conduction without thermal runaway |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 18.2 V - confirms low off-state current below breakdown threshold |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - defines forward conduction drop during transient polarity reversal |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) - enables thermal design using lead as primary heat path |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by color band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to lower-potential node; carries forward current or sinks reverse leakage |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node; conducts reverse current during Zener regulation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | Same 24 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) instead of ±2% | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost | Select when system-level calibration compensates for voltage variance |
| MMSZ4704T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; same 24 V ±5%, 1 W rating, but 300 mA IZM | Used in space-constrained PCBs requiring automated SMT placement | Choose for high-density layouts where axial leads are impractical |
Compared with 1N4749A and MMSZ4704T1G, the 1N4749CPE3/TR12 offers superior voltage accuracy (±2% vs ±5%) and higher surge capability (750 mA vs 300 mA), making it optimal for precision reference and high-energy clamp roles where axial mounting is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4749CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 24 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 23.52 V and 24.48 V at the specified test current of 10.5 mA and lead temperature of 25°C, enabling high-accuracy voltage referencing in precision analog circuits.
Does the 1N4749CPE3/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4749CPE3/TR12 meets RoHS requirements, as confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its designation. It features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its axial leads and is manufactured using lead-free processes compliant with Directive 2011/65/EU, with full material declarations available upon request.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4749CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4749CPE3/TR12 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating of 750 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating supports reliable transient overvoltage clamping in power supply input stages and I/O protection circuits without degradation.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4749CPE3/TR12 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4749CPE3/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W at 3/8" (10 mm) lead length from the body. To maintain safe operation, PCB traces connected to its leads should be wide and short, and the device must be mounted with ≥10 mm of straight lead length outside the board edge to leverage the lead as a heatsink-critical for sustaining 1 W dissipation.
Is tape-and-reel packaging included with the 1N4749CPE3/TR12?
Yes, the "TR12" suffix in 1N4749CPE3/TR12 explicitly indicates EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging, optimized for automated SMT placement equipment. Each reel contains 1,000 units, with carrier tape conforming to industry-standard pocket dimensions and cover tape peel strength specifications.
