Product details
Overview
1N4749CP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 24 V, ±5% 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 190 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 50°C - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in linear power supplies and analog sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749CP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4749CP/TR12 pinout, 1N4749CP/TR12 application, or 1N4749CP/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability across temperature (−65°C to +150°C), low knee impedance (38 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12) for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This axial-leaded Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. It features a sharp breakdown knee (verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202) and exhibits −6 mV/°C temperature coefficient near 24 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits.
Designed for through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it delivers 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at TA < 45°C or TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length), with thermal resistance of 105°C/W junction-to-ambient and 45°C/W junction-to-lead - critical for thermal design in compact power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% at IZT = 10.5 mA, TL = 25°C - defines nominal regulation point for feedback networks and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C or TA < 45°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance | 25 Ω at IZT = 10.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Regulator Current | 190 mA at TA = 50°C - establishes upper limit for shunt current in voltage reference designs |
| Knee Impedance | 38 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - ensures stable regulation even at low bias currents typical in sensor biasing |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at VR = 18.2 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in high-impedance monitoring circuits |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - supports use as polarity-protected rectifier in auxiliary paths |
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.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | No "P" suffix → glass-body DO-35 package; higher thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient ≈ 150°C/W vs. 105°C/W) | Limited to lower-power or free-air applications; unsuitable for high-density PCBs requiring thermal management | Select 1N4749CP/TR12 for plastic DO-41 reliability, RoHS compliance, and superior board-level thermal performance |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 24 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 10 mA | Lower power handling (0.5 W vs. 1.0 W); requires rework of layout and assembly process | Choose MMSZ4702T1G only when space-constrained PCBs mandate SMT; retain 1N4749CP/TR12 for through-hole production and thermal headroom |
Compared with 1N4749A and MMSZ4702T1G, the 1N4749CP/TR12 offers optimal balance of 1 W power capability, DO-41 mechanical robustness, JEDEC-standardized pin spacing, and TR12 tape-and-reel readiness - making it the preferred choice for industrial power supply and sensor interface designs requiring proven reliability and ease of integration.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749CP/TR12?
The 1N4749CP/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This tolerance is specified at TL = 25°C and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C, ensuring predictable regulation in industrial environments.
Does the 1N4749CP/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4749CP/TR12 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in Microsemi's official documentation and its matte-tin terminal plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits.
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for the 1N4749CP/TR12 on a standard PCB?
The 1N4749CP/TR12 delivers 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation when mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² copper pads, and 1 mm track width (25 mm length), provided ambient temperature remains below 45°C - per Microsemi's thermal characterization data.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4749CP/TR12?
The 1N4749CP/TR12 uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode (non-banded end) during Zener regulation. This marking is laser-etched or molded into the DO-41 plastic body and visible under standard inspection lighting.
What does the "TR12" suffix signify in 1N4749CP/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging containing 12,000 units per reel - optimized for high-volume automated assembly. This format includes carrier tape with embossed pockets, cover tape with heat-seal adhesive, and standardized reel dimensions compatible with all major pick-and-place platforms.
