Product details
Overview
1N4750AP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1 W, 27 V ±5% axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 9.5 mA test current, 35 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 5 μA reverse leakage at 20.6 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4750AP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4750AP/TR12 pinout, 1N4750AP/TR12 application, or 1N4750AP/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (750 mA), operating temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant "e3" plating option.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 27 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5.6 V, with typical TC of +8.5 mV/°C per Figure 3 in the datasheet.
The DO-41 package supports axial through-hole mounting with cathode band polarity marking, and its 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable 1 W dissipation at lead temperature ≤105 °C with 10 mm lead length from body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at 9.5 mA - sets precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - defines maximum continuous steady-state power under specified lead temp condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω at IZT = 9.5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA max at VR = 20.6 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 750 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - enables use in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - allows thermal design with known lead-length-dependent derating |
Pinout & Package

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 TR12 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo-pack only | Same electrical specs but unsuitable for automated pick-and-place | Select 1N4750AP/TR12 for SMT line integration; choose 1N4750A for hand-soldered prototyping |
| MMSZ5256B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 27 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; higher ZZT (70 Ω) | Lower power handling and different thermal path; not drop-in for through-hole boards | Use MMSZ5256B-TP only when board space constraints require SMT and 500 mW suffices |
Compared with 1N4750A and MMSZ5256B-TP, the 1N4750AP/TR12 uniquely combines 1 W power capability, DO-41 axial form factor, tape-and-reel delivery, and verified 45 °C/W thermal resistance - making it optimal for high-reliability through-hole power regulation where automated assembly and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4750AP/TR12?
The 1N4750AP/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed by the "A" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's datasheet revision C. This tolerance applies at 9.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The "P" denotes plastic DO-41 packaging, and "TR12" specifies 12 mm tape pitch reel packaging.
Does 1N4750AP/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4750AP/TR12 is RoHS compliant when ordered with the "e3" suffix (e.g., 1N4750AP/TR12-e3), indicating annealed matte-tin plating per JEDEC standards. The base part number without "e3" uses traditional tin-lead plating. Always verify the full orderable part number with Aetrix Electronics to confirm RoHS status for your shipment.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4750AP/TR12?
The 1N4750AP/TR12 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 750 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating supports transient clamping in 24 V system protection applications without permanent degradation.
Can 1N4750AP/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N4750AP/TR12 uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4750A (SMA package) and MLL4750A (SOD-123 variant), both sharing the same 27 V ±5% Zener voltage but differing in thermal performance and package dimensions.
What is the thermal resistance of 1N4750AP/TR12 and how does it affect layout?
The 1N4750AP/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 10 mm lead length from body. This means each watt dissipated raises junction temperature 45 °C above lead temperature. To maintain reliability, keep lead temperature below 105 °C - achieved by minimizing trace resistance, using adequate copper pour, and avoiding excessive solder mask coverage near leads.
