Product details
Overview
1N4749CPE3/TR8 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 feedback loops, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4749CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4749CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4749CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (190 mA), reverse leakage (5 µA @ 18.2 V), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 24 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with typical TC of +12 mV/°C per Figure 3 in the datasheet.
The device uses axial-leaded DO-41 packaging with cathode band marking, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminations, and UL94V-0 epoxy body. Thermal performance is defined at 3/8" (10 mm) lead length from body (45°C/W) or on FR4 board (105°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 24 V ±2% at 10.5 mA - ensures tight regulation in precision references and feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - supports continuous operation in compact power supplies without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω @ IZT - low AC impedance improves regulation stability under dynamic load changes |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 5 µA @ 18.2 V - minimal leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias/reference nodes |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 190 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands transient overloads during startup or fault conditions |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables predictable derating when mounted with standard lead length |
| Operating Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded plastic encapsulated case with cathode indicated by color band. Moisture sensitivity level 1 - no dry pack required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reverse-biased input terminal | Connected to lower-potential node; accepts current flow into cathode during Zener conduction |
| Cathode | Regulated output terminal | Banded end; held at stable 24 V relative to anode when reverse-biased above breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables accurate voltage references without post-manufacturing trimming in 24 V systems |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Ensures solderability and long-term reliability under lead-free reflow profiles (260°C/10 s) |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Eliminates baking requirement prior to assembly, reducing manufacturing overhead |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces handling precautions and eliminates need for ESD-protected workstations |
| Plastic P-suffix construction | Delivers lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants, improving power handling in same footprint |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Clamp Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulates output voltage in isolated flyback converters via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference element setting precise 24 V threshold for TL431 or similar shunt regulator. Use Value: ±2% tolerance ensures output stays within ±3% of target under line/load transients and temperature drift. | Use Scenario: Limits voltage spikes on 24 V rail caused by inductive load switching or ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamp placed between rail and ground, conducting only above 24 V breakdown. Use Value: 190 mA surge rating absorbs 100–200 ns transients without degradation, preserving downstream ICs. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable excitation source maintaining constant sensor sensitivity across −40°C to +85°C ambient. Use Value: −65°C to +150°C operating range ensures functionality in extended-temperature industrial enclosures. |
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) vs. ±2% (C suffix) | Less precise regulation; acceptable where cost priority outweighs accuracy | Select 1N4749A only if system-level calibration compensates for wider voltage spread |
| BZX84-C24 | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 24 V ±5%; 300 mW rating; 80 Ω ZZT | Not drop-in compatible; requires PCB redesign; limited power handling | Choose BZX84-C24 only for space-constrained, low-power designs where DO-41 footprint is unacceptable |
Compared with 1N4749A and BZX84-C24, the 1N4749CPE3/TR8 delivers tighter voltage control, higher surge capability, and proven axial-leaded reliability-making it optimal for industrial power supplies where long-term stability and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4749CPE3/TR8 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 when measured at 10.5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature, per Microsemi's REV C datasheet.
Does the 1N4749CPE3/TR8 require dry packing before SMT assembly?
No, the 1N4749CPE3/TR8 is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it does not absorb significant moisture during normal factory handling and requires no dry pack or baking prior to assembly-even in humid environments.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4749CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4749CPE3/TR8 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 190 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating applies to short-duration transients such as inductive kickback or ESD-induced spikes.
Can the 1N4749CPE3/TR8 be used in place of the 1N4749A?
Yes, the 1N4749CPE3/TR8 is functionally compatible with the 1N4749A and shares identical package, pinout, and nominal voltage-but offers tighter ±2% tolerance versus ±5%. No PCB changes are needed, though system-level accuracy improves due to reduced voltage spread.
What does the "TR8" suffix indicate in 1N4749CPE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm carrier tape and 1,000 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is RoHS-compliant, matching the "e3" termination specification.
