Product details
Overview
1N4750PE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 27 V ±5% axial-lead 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 1N4750PE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4750PE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4750PE3/TR12 application, or 1N4750PE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (750 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 27 V output across 1.0–750 mA operating current range, with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its DO-41 plastic encapsulation delivers lower thermal resistance than glass-body variants and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
The device features cathode band polarity marking, 1.2 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, and is rated for soldering at 260 °C for 10 s. It supports MIL-PRF-19500 screening when prefixed (e.g., MV1N4750PE3/TR12) and is UL94V-0 compliant with void-free thermosetting epoxy case.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at 9.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight production control for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - limits continuous thermal load with 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω at 9.5 mA - ensures low output impedance for minimal regulation error under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA at 20.6 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 750 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - enables use as clamping diode in bidirectional protection schemes |
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, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded lead | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Banded lead | Connected to regulated voltage node; must be held positive relative to anode for breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered Zener | Complies with standardized 1N47xxA series electrical and mechanical specifications for cross-manufacturer interchangeability |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Matte-tin terminal plating meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and eliminates lead-based solder compatibility concerns |
| Tape-and-reel packaging | EIA-296 compliant TR12 format enables automated SMT placement despite axial-lead form factor |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | No dry pack required prior to assembly - reduces handling cost and avoids moisture-induced popcorning |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - survives human-body-model discharges without parameter shift or failure |

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 "P" (plastic) or "e3" (RoHS) suffix; glass-body construction, Sn/Pb plating only | Higher thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient), not RoHS-compliant | Select only if legacy Sn/Pb assembly or MIL-spec glass-body requirement applies |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 27 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT | Lower power handling, unsuitable for >500 mW continuous dissipation | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 1W dissipation is not required |
Compared with 1N4750A and MMSZ5256ET1G, the 1N4750PE3/TR12 offers superior thermal performance in axial-lead form, full RoHS compliance, and higher surge current capability-making it optimal for industrial power rails requiring long-term reliability and automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4750PE3/TR12?
The 1N4750PE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the base part number. This tolerance is specified at 9.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, and is maintained across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table.
Does 1N4750PE3/TR12 require dry packing before reflow soldering?
No, the 1N4750PE3/TR12 does not require dry packing. It is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at standard ambient conditions without desiccant or dry cabinet. This eliminates pre-bake steps and reduces assembly risk in high-volume production.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4750PE3/TR12?
The 1N4750PE3/TR12 is rated for a maximum surge current (ISM) of 750 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in power rail protection circuits without permanent parameter shift or catastrophic failure.
Is 1N4750PE3/TR12 compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4750PE3/TR12 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating and is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its plastic DO-41 package remains structurally stable under these conditions.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4750PE3/TR12 compare to glass-body variants?
The 1N4750PE3/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length, which is lower than the glass-body 1N4750A variant due to improved heat transfer through its plastic molded epoxy body. This allows higher continuous power dissipation at equivalent lead temperatures.
