Product details
Overview
1N4750APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 27 V, 5% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 9.5 mA test current (IZT), 35 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA reverse leakage at 20.6 V (VR), used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4750APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4750APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4750APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4750APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (750 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. It exhibits a sharp knee at IZK = 0.25 mA with ZZK = 35 Ω and supports continuous regulation from 1 mA to 750 mA at TA ≤ 45 °C on FR4 board.
Its temperature coefficient is +10 mV/°C near 27 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog references. The DO-41 package provides flexible through-hole mounting with cathode band polarity marking and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at IZT = 9.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production control |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum steady-state thermal load |
| Dynamic Impedance | 35 Ω at IZT = 9.5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at VR = 20.6 V - ensures low quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Surge Current | 750 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands short-duration overvoltage events |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with standard lead-forming practices |
| Operating Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports 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 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4750A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb plating; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; otherwise functionally identical | Select when legacy Sn/Pb assembly is required and RoHS exemption applies |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 27 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 30 Ω Zzt | Limited to lower-power PCB space-constrained designs; not drop-in replacement | Choose for automated SMT lines where board area is critical and 0.5 W suffices |
Compared with 1N4750A and MMSZ5256ET1G, the 1N4750APE3/TR8 offers full 1 W dissipation in through-hole format with RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel delivery-making it optimal for industrial power supplies requiring robust, compliant, and assembly-ready Zener regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4750APE3/TR8?
The 1N4750APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC registration. This tolerance is verified at 9.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, ensuring consistent regulation across production lots.
Does 1N4750APE3/TR8 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4750APE3/TR8 is moisture sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored and assembled without dry pack or baking. Its plastic DO-41 package and void-free epoxy body eliminate moisture absorption concerns during standard SMT or through-hole reflow processes.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4750APE3/TR8?
The 1N4750APE3/TR8 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 suppression in DC power rails subject to switching spikes or load dump events.
Is 1N4750APE3/TR8 compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4750APE3/TR8 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating qualified for soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds maximum, fully supporting lead-free reflow profiles. Its terminals meet MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability and thermal endurance.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4750APE3/TR8 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4750APE3/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length, meaning PCB layout should maintain ≥10 mm straight lead length from package body to mounting pad. Shorter leads increase thermal resistance and risk exceeding 1 W derated power at elevated ambient temperatures.
