Product details
Overview
1N4750CPE3/TR8 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 1N4750CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4750CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4750CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4750CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (750 mA), operating temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
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 ~5.6 V, with typical TC of +5.5 mV/°C per Figure 3, enabling predictable drift compensation in analog references.
Designed for axial-leaded through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs, it delivers 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at lead temperature <105 °C (3/8″ from body) or ambient <45 °C, with thermal resistance of 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient under defined copper pad conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±2% at IZT = 9.5 mA - ensures tight regulation accuracy for feedback references. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - defines maximum continuous thermal load without derating. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 35 Ω at IZT - low AC impedance maintains regulation stability under dynamic load changes. |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at VR = 20.6 V - minimal standby current preserves efficiency in low-power bias networks. |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 750 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands transient overloads during power-up or fault events. |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal modeling for lead-length-dependent reliability. |
| Operating Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by color band; terminals are anode and cathode only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Connected to higher potential side; reverse-biased operation provides regulated voltage drop. |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference return node | Typically tied to circuit ground or common reference plane for stable bias point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener tolerance (C suffix) | Enables high-accuracy voltage references without external trimming components. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3 suffix) | Ensures solderability and long-term reliability under lead-free reflow profiles. |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints for production handling. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces need for special ESD controls during assembly and field service. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Excitation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Provides precise 27 V reference for optocoupler-based feedback loop in isolated DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener voltage reference establishing error amplifier threshold. Use Value: ±2% tolerance ensures output voltage accuracy within ±1.5% over line/load/temperature. | Use Scenario: Supplies stable excitation voltage to 4–20 mA current-loop pressure transducers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt regulator maintaining constant sensor bias. Use Value: Low 35 Ω dynamic impedance minimizes output variation under sensor current modulation. |

Use Value: 750 mA surge rating handles IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge without degradation. | Use Scenario: Generates clean reset signal by holding microcontroller reset pin low until 27 V rail stabilizes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage monitor enabling power-on reset sequencing. Use Value: –65 °C to +150 °C operating range supports reset functionality in extended-temperature embedded systems. |
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 (A suffix), no RoHS e3 marking | Lower accuracy; suitable where cost prioritized over precision | Select when ±5% regulation suffices and legacy non-RoHS compliance acceptable |
| BZX85C27 | 27 V, ±5%, 1.3 W, DO-41, but higher ZZT (50 Ω) and wider tolerance | Less stable under dynamic loads; not RoHS-compliant by default | Choose only if existing BOM uses BZX85 series and tighter tolerance not required |
Compared with 1N4750A and BZX85C27, the 1N4750CPE3/TR8 offers superior voltage accuracy (±2% vs. ±5%), guaranteed RoHS compliance (e3), and lower dynamic impedance-critical for high-stability analog references and low-drift power supplies.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4750CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4750CPE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 27 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 26.46 V and 27.54 V at 9.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, making it suitable for applications demanding tighter regulation than standard ±5% devices like the 1N4750A.
Is the 1N4750CPE3/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4750CPE3/TR8 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix indicating annealed matte-tin plating per JEDEC standards. It meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, with no exemption needed for lead content.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4750CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4750CPE3/TR8 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 allows the device to safely absorb transient overvoltage events in power supply clamping and protection circuits without permanent degradation.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4750CPE3/TR8 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4750CPE3/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body. To maintain 1 W power dissipation, PCB layout must ensure adequate lead length and copper heatsinking; shorter leads increase thermal resistance, risking overheating. Mounting on FR4 with 4 mm² copper pads yields 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient, requiring ambient derating below 45 °C.
Can the 1N4750CPE3/TR8 be used as a direct replacement for the 1N4750A?
The 1N4750CPE3/TR8 can functionally replace the 1N4750A in most circuits, but differences exist: it adds ±2% tolerance (vs. ±5%), RoHS-compliant plating (e3), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8). Electrical performance is otherwise identical. No PCB changes are required, though system-level validation of regulation accuracy under worst-case conditions is recommended due to tighter tolerance.
