Product details
Overview
1N4750CPE3/TR12 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 feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4750CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4750CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4750CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4750CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria 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 (TR12).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. It delivers regulated 27 V with tight ±2% initial tolerance (C suffix) and exhibits low dynamic impedance (35 Ω at 9.5 mA) for minimal output variation under current transients.
Designed for axial-lead mounting on FR4 PCBs, it features 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length and derates linearly above 105 °C lead temperature. Its cathode band marking and 1.2 V forward voltage (max @ 200 mA) support unambiguous polarity-aware circuit integration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | 27 V ±2% - precise regulation point for feedback networks requiring tight DC reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - supports continuous operation in compact power supplies without forced cooling |
| Test Current (IZT) | 9.5 mA - operating point where Vz and ZZT are specified; defines optimal bias for regulation accuracy |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω @ IZT - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage shift during load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA @ 20.6 V - low off-state current preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 750 mA - withstands short-duration overloads common during power-up or fault recovery |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with standard lead-forming and board layout |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4750CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4750CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 27 V regulation point falls between 26.46 V and 27.54 V at 25 °C with 9.5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance supports higher-accuracy voltage references compared to standard ±5% variants like the 1N4750A.
Is the 1N4750CPE3/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4750CPE3/TR12 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its designation. It uses annealed matte-tin plating on leads and meets all substance restrictions under Directive 2011/65/EU. This compliance applies to both the component itself and its tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4750CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4750CPE3/TR12 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. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient overvoltage events without degradation, making it suitable for clamping applications in industrial control environments.
Does the 1N4750CPE3/TR12 require dry packing before use?
No, the 1N4750CPE3/TR12 does not require dry packing. It is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has unlimited floor life and can be stored and assembled without baking or humidity-controlled handling-simplifying manufacturing logistics and reducing process risk.
What package type is used for the 1N4750CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4750CPE3/TR12 uses the DO-41 (also designated DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package. It features a void-free thermosetting epoxy body meeting UL94V-0 flammability rating, with cathode polarity marked by a single band on the body and leads plated for solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
