Product details
Overview
1N4749PE3/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 750 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 50°C. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749PE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4749PE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4749PE3/TR12 application, or 1N4749PE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (190 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This axial-leaded Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 24 V reference across a wide current range (0.25–190 mA). Its 5% voltage tolerance (A-suffix), 25 Ω dynamic impedance at 10.5 mA, and −65°C to +150°C operating temperature support precision regulation in unregulated DC supplies and feedback networks.
The device features a void-free UL94V-0 epoxy body, cathode band polarity marking, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020B-eliminating dry-pack requirements. Thermal performance is specified with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length (45°C/W) and on FR4 board (105°C/W), enabling accurate derating in real-world layouts.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% at 10.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production control for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with 3/8″ lead length derating |
| 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 - establishes safe peak current limit before thermal runaway |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 190 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate junction temperature calculation for reliability analysis |

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" (plastic) or "e3" (RoHS) suffix; glass-body construction; Sn/Pb plating only | Lacks RoHS compliance and moisture-level-1 certification; higher thermal resistance than plastic variant | Select only if legacy Sn/Pb assembly or non-RoHS environment required |
| MMSZ4704T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 24 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Lower power and smaller footprint; unsuitable for high-current (>350 mA) regulation | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 1 W dissipation is not required |
Compared with 1N4749A and MMSZ4704T1G, the 1N4749PE3/TR12 delivers superior thermal performance (45°C/W vs. ~120°C/W for glass), guaranteed RoHS compliance, and tape-and-reel automation readiness-making it optimal for new industrial power designs requiring long-term supply continuity and environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749PE3/TR12?
The 1N4749PE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC part number. This tolerance is verified at 10.5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, but does not affect voltage specification. Tighter tolerances (±2%, ±1%) require "C" or "D" suffixes, which are not present in this part number.
Does the 1N4749PE3/TR12 support automated assembly?
Yes, the 1N4749PE3/TR12 is supplied in EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel format (denoted by "TR12"), enabling direct use in pick-and-place equipment. Its DO-41 axial package is compatible with standard lead-forming and insertion tooling. The matte-tin plating ensures reliable solder wetting in both wave and reflow processes, and its moisture sensitivity level 1 eliminates bake requirements prior to assembly.
What is the maximum continuous current the 1N4749PE3/TR12 can regulate?
The 1N4749PE3/TR12 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 750 mA at ambient temperature of 50°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. At higher temperatures, current must be derated per the power curve in Figure 1. Its 1.0 W power rating and 45°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance allow sustained operation up to this limit when leads are maintained below 105°C.
How does the 1N4749PE3/TR12 differ from the 1N4749A?
The 1N4749PE3/TR12 adds three key enhancements over the base 1N4749A: the "P" suffix denotes plastic encapsulation (lower thermal resistance than glass-body 1N4749A), "e3" confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and "TR12" specifies EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging. These differences improve manufacturability, thermal performance, and environmental compliance-making 1N4749PE3/TR12 the preferred choice for new designs.
Is the 1N4749PE3/TR12 suitable for overvoltage protection in 24 V automotive systems?
Yes, the 1N4749PE3/TR12 is rated for −65°C to +150°C operating temperature and qualified to MIL-STD-750 for ESD robustness, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications. Its 24 V Zener voltage aligns with common 24 V vehicle electrical systems, and its 190 mA surge current rating handles typical load-dump transients when used with appropriate series impedance. Confirm system-level clamping energy with actual circuit simulation.
