Product details
Overview
1N4750CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 27 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W 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 1N4750CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4750CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N4750CE3/TR13 application, or 1N4750CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (750 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13).
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 27 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with typical TC of +5.5 mV/°C per Figure 3, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog references.
The device uses a planar-diffused silicon junction with void-free epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), rated for -65 °C to +150 °C operation. It delivers regulated voltage with 35 Ω dynamic impedance at 9.5 mA IZT and maintains <0.25 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at TA = 50 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±2% at 9.5 mA - ensures tight regulation accuracy for feedback references |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - supports continuous operation with 3/8" lead length heat sinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω @ IZT - low AC impedance minimizes output ripple in shunt regulator designs |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA @ 20.6 V - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with standard axial-lead PCB mounting |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 750 mA @ 1/120 s - withstands transient overloads without degradation |
| Operating Temperature | -65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4750A | Same 27 V, ±5% tolerance; no "C" or "e3" suffix; Sn/Pb plating only | Lacks RoHS compliance and tighter tolerance; requires reflow profile adjustment for Pb-free process | Select when legacy Pb-based assembly or cost-sensitive non-RoHS programs apply |
| MMSZ5250B-TP | 27 V, ±5%, SOD-123 package, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT | Lower power rating and surface-mount form factor limit use to low-current bias networks | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 1 W dissipation is not required |
Compared with 1N4750A and MMSZ5250B-TP, the 1N4750CE3/TR13 offers superior tolerance (±2% vs. ±5%), full RoHS compliance, and higher surge capability (750 mA vs. 500 mA), making it optimal for industrial-grade reference and clamp designs requiring long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4750CE3/TR13?
The 1N4750CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Microsemi datasheet, where 1N4750A (±5%) and 1N4750C (±2%) are explicitly differentiated. The 27 V nominal voltage is guaranteed between 26.46 V and 27.54 V at 9.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature.
Does the 1N4750CE3/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4750CE3/TR13 meets RoHS requirements, as indicated by the "e3" suffix per Microsemi's documentation. The device uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its axial leads and void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation. It is certified to EU Directive 2011/65/EU and fully compliant with lead-free soldering profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4750CE3/TR13?
The 1N4750CE3/TR13 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating 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 applies to transient overvoltage events such as ESD or inductive switching spikes, and is validated per JEDEC test methodology described in Note 3 of the datasheet.
What package type does the 1N4750CE3/TR13 use?
The 1N4750CE3/TR13 uses the DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package, as confirmed in the "MECHANICAL AND PACKAGING" section and package dimension diagrams on page 3 of the Microsemi datasheet. It features flexible mounting terminals, cathode identification via a painted band, and weighs 0.7 grams.
How does the temperature coefficient affect the 1N4750CE3/TR13 in circuit design?
The 1N4750CE3/TR13 exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +5.5 mV/°C, as shown in Figure 3 ("Temp. Coeff. vs. Zener Voltage") of the datasheet. This means its Zener voltage increases linearly with temperature-critical for applications requiring drift compensation, such as precision references paired with NTC thermistors or matched transistor arrays.
