Product details
Overview
1N4749P/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 24 V, ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), 10.5 mA test current (IZT), 25 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and maximum reverse current of 5 μA at 18.2 V. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4749P/TR12 datasheet, 1N4749P/TR12 pinout, 1N4749P/TR12 application, or 1N4749P/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (190 mA), RoHS-compliant "e3" plating option, and DO-41 package compatibility with standard axial-lead PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across varying load currents (IZM = 190 mA at TA = 50 °C) and temperatures (–65 °C to +150 °C). Its 24 V Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing, minimizing drift in precision references.
The DO-41 plastic package delivers 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length, enabling reliable 1.0 W dissipation at TL < 105 °C. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA, confirming standard silicon PN junction behavior for bidirectional testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% at IZT = 10.5 mA - defines regulation setpoint under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance | 25 Ω at IZT = 10.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under small-signal AC load changes |
| Max Reverse Current | 5 μA at VR = 18.2 V - confirms low leakage below knee voltage, critical for standby power integrity |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 190 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping in protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design using lead conduction, not board convection |
| Operating Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - validated for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package with cathode indicated by color band. Leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Polarity: banded end is cathode (positive during Zener operation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded lead | Connected to lower-potential node; carries forward current or reverse leakage path |
| Cathode | Banded lead | Connected to higher-potential node during Zener regulation; defines voltage reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N47xxAP series | Guarantees mechanical and electrical interchangeability with legacy 1N47xx designs across manufacturers |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints for SMT-compatible handling |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" option | Enables compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU without performance trade-offs |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands >4 kV HBM per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - reduces handling safeguards in assembly |
| Plastic vs. glass thermal advantage | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (vs. ~60–70 °C/W for DO-35 glass) improves power handling in lead-conducted cooling |
Applications

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 indicates glass DO-35 package; higher thermal resistance (~65 °C/W) | Less suitable for high-power-density layouts requiring lead-conducted heat removal | Select 1N4749P/TR12 when DO-41 mechanical robustness or lower thermal resistance is required |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123; 24 V, 500 mW; 30 Ω Zzt; RoHS-compliant | Not drop-in replaceable; requires PCB redesign; limited to lower power and surge capability | Choose MMSZ4702T1G only for space-constrained, automated SMT production where 1 W rating is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4749A and MMSZ4702T1G, the 1N4749P/TR12 uniquely balances 1.0 W power handling, DO-41 axial reliability, and JEDEC-standardized interchangeability-making it optimal for through-hole industrial power rails where thermal margin and legacy compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4749P/TR12?
The 1N4749P/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V with ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number per JEDEC registration. This tolerance applies at 10.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The "P" denotes plastic DO-41 packaging, and "TR12" specifies tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard. The 1N4749P/TR12 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Does the 1N4749P/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4749P/TR12 is offered in RoHS-compliant form with an "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4749AP-e3/TR12), indicating annealed matte-tin plating per J-STD-609. The base 1N4749P/TR12 uses standard tin-lead terminations, but RoHS versions are fully interchangeable electrically and mechanically. Both variants comply with moisture sensitivity level 1 and require no dry pack.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4749P/TR12?
The 1N4749P/TR12 is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) < 105 °C with 10 mm lead length from body, or at ambient temperature (TA) < 45 °C when mounted on FR4 with specified copper pads. Derating is required above these temperatures per Figure 1 in the Microsemi datasheet. This rating is validated for continuous DC operation-not pulsed or surge conditions.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4749P/TR12 compare to glass-body Zeners?
The 1N4749P/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W, significantly lower than the ~65–70 °C/W typical of glass-body 1N4749A (DO-35) devices. This 30–40% improvement enables higher sustained power handling in lead-conducted cooling configurations, such as chassis-mounted regulators or heatsink-attached leads, without exceeding junction temperature limits.
Can the 1N4749P/TR12 be used in surge protection applications?
Yes, the 1N4749P/TR12 supports surge current up to 190 mA (½-sine wave, 1/120 s duration) at 25 °C ambient, making it suitable for clamping fast transients in 24 V industrial systems. Its 24 V Zener voltage and low dynamic impedance ensure rapid response and minimal overshoot. For sustained overvoltage events, pairing with a current-limiting resistor is required to keep average power within the 1.0 W rating of the 1N4749P/TR12.
