Product details
Overview
1N4750APE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 27 V, 1 W axial-lead Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package with ±5% voltage tolerance, 9.5 mA test current, and 35 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4750APE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4750APE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4750APE3/TR12 application, or 1N4750APE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage accuracy, 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 breakdown to maintain stable 27 V output across 1.0–150 mA regulation current range, with temperature coefficient near +10 mV/°C per Figure 3. Its DO-41 package enables axial mounting on FR4 PCBs with defined thermal performance: 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient under standard layout conditions.
It features a sharp knee in the Zener characteristic (verified by dual-point ZZK measurement at 0.25 mA), low forward voltage (≤1.2 V @ 200 mA), and ESD insensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - enabling use in unregulated DC rails and analog reference nodes without additional protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at 9.5 mA - defines regulated output level for feedback references and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - limits continuous current to ~37 mA at 27 V without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance | 35 Ω at IZT = 9.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current | 5 μA at VR = 20.6 V - ensures low leakage below regulation threshold |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 750 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping in power inputs |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - guides heatsinking for sustained operation |
| Operating Temp | −65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
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 sink current during Zener conduction |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node; Zener regulation occurs with cathode positive relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener | Complies with industry-standard 1N47xxAP mechanical and electrical specifications for interchangeability |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Matte-tin terminal plating meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 |
| Tape-and-reel packaging | TR12 denotes EIA-296 compliant 12 mm tape, enabling automated SMT placement despite axial form factor |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - simplifies handling and storage logistics |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for ESD-safe workstations in assembly |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in linear regulator circuits or ADC reference dividers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode providing fixed 27 V reference point for error amplifier input.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4750A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; requires Pb-containing solder process | Select when legacy Pb-based assembly is mandated and environmental compliance is not required |
| BZX79-C27 | Same 27 V ±5%, but 400 mW rating; DO-35 glass package; higher ZZT (70 Ω) | Lower power handling limits continuous current to ~15 mA; less robust thermal performance | Choose only for space-constrained designs where 1 W dissipation is unnecessary and DO-35 fits footprint |
Compared with 1N4750A and BZX79-C27, the 1N4750APE3/TR12 offers RoHS compliance, 1 W power rating, and superior thermal resistance (45 °C/W vs. >200 °C/W for DO-35), making it optimal for industrial power rails requiring long-term reliability and regulatory adherence.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4750APE3/TR12?
The 1N4750APE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's registered JEDEC specification. This tolerance applies at 9.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating but does not affect voltage tolerance.
Does the 1N4750APE3/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4750APE3/TR12 is moisture sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored and assembled without dry pack or baking. Its void-free epoxy body and RoHS-compliant plating ensure stability under standard factory humidity conditions, eliminating moisture-related popcorning risk during reflow.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4750APE3/TR12?
The 1N4750APE3/TR12 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive reverse surge current (ISM) of 750 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating supports transient clamping in 24 V industrial power inputs where short-duration overvoltages may exceed 27 V.
Can the 1N4750APE3/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
While the 1N4750APE3/TR12 itself is an axial-leaded DO-41 device, its TR12 tape-and-reel packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly onto through-hole pads. For true SMT implementation, Microsemi offers surface-mount equivalents such as SMAJ4750A and MLL4750A - neither of which share the same pinout or thermal profile as the 1N4750APE3/TR12.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1N4750APE3/TR12 when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a standard FR4 PCB (1 oz Cu) with 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm track width, the 1N4750APE3/TR12 exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 105 °C/W. This value assumes specified layout conditions and is critical for calculating safe operating current under elevated ambient temperatures.
