Product details
Overview
1N4750P/TR12 from Microsemi is a 27 V, 1 W plastic-encapsulated Zener diode with ±5% voltage tolerance, 9.5 mA test current, and 35 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4750P/TR12 datasheet, 1N4750P/TR12 pinout, 1N4750P/TR12 application, or 1N4750P/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability across temperature, low knee impedance (0.5 mA test), surge current rating (750 mA), and DO-41 package compatibility with axial-leaded PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage under varying load and line conditions. It features a sharp knee at 0.5 mA (ZZK = 34 Ω), enabling reliable low-current regulation, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near +5 mV/°C at 27 V per Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Thermal resistance is specified as 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) and 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with defined copper pad geometry. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA, confirming standard silicon PN junction behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V ±5% at 9.5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight production control |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - supports continuous operation with adequate lead heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω at 9.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 34 Ω at 0.5 mA - enables stable regulation even at very low bias currents |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 750 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands short-duration overvoltage events without degradation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at 20.6 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
1N4750P/TR12 uses the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package with cathode indicated by a band; terminals are non-polarized for through-hole mounting and require no dry pack per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture classification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to unregulated input; delivers stable 27 V to load when reverse-biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants - improves power handling in compact layouts |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" option | Matte-tin plating meets lead-free soldering requirements without compromising solderability |
| JEDEC 1N47xxA registration | Industry-standard footprint and electrical behavior - ensures design reuse and sourcing flexibility |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for special handling in assembly |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) | Standard EIA-296 format - enables automated pick-and-place for high-volume manufacturing |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in linear regulator circuits or op-amp reference nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides precise 27 V reference to error amplifier inputs for output voltage accuracy. Use Value: ±5% VZ tolerance and low ZZK ensure <1% total output error across operating current range. | Use Scenario: Protecting downstream ICs from transient voltage spikes on DC rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunts excess energy to ground when rail exceeds 27 V, limiting peak voltage. Use Value: 750 mA surge rating allows repeated clamping of 100–200 ns transients without parametric shift. |
| Current Source Bias | Signal Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Generating stable bias current for transistor amplifiers or sensor excitation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forms constant-current sink with series resistor, leveraging sharp Zener knee. Use Value: 34 Ω ZZK at 0.5 mA enables sub-1% current variation over temperature and supply drift. | Use Scenario: Shifting logic-level signals between incompatible voltage domains (e.g., 3.3 V → 27 V interface). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as bidirectional level translator via controlled reverse conduction. Use Value: Low leakage (<5 μA) prevents loading of source logic while maintaining clean threshold switching. |
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 TR suffix - bulk bag packaging; identical electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not optimized for automated assembly; requires manual placement or tube-to-tape conversion | Select 1N4750P/TR12 for SMT line integration; choose 1N4750A for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldering |
| BZX85C27 | Higher ZZT (60 Ω), wider tolerance (±10%), different DO-41 mechanical dimensions per Philips spec | Less stable regulation under dynamic loads; reduced accuracy in precision references | Use BZX85C27 only where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation stability and traceability requirements |
Compared with 1N4750A and BZX85C27, the 1N4750P/TR12 offers verified tape-and-reel readiness, tighter 5% tolerance, and lower 35 Ω dynamic impedance - delivering superior voltage stability in production-grade power management designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4750P/TR12?
The 1N4750P/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a ±5% tolerance, as confirmed by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation and validated in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 1 of the Microsemi datasheet. This tolerance applies at 9.5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The 1N4750P/TR12 does not support tighter tolerances like ±1% or ±2% - those require suffixes "D" or "C", respectively.
Does 1N4750P/TR12 support lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4750P/TR12 is RoHS compliant with an "e3" suffix option, featuring annealed matte-tin plating qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. It withstands solder temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, making it compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles. The base part number 1N4750P/TR12 includes this finish unless otherwise specified.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4750P/TR12?
The 1N4750P/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, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating reflects single-event capability; repeated surges require derating per thermal limits in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4750P/TR12 package?
The 1N4750P/TR12 uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode for Zener regulation. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-41 standards and is visible on the black epoxy body. Forward conduction occurs when the anode is positive relative to the banded cathode.
What package type does 1N4750P/TR12 use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The 1N4750P/TR12 uses the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package. Its thermal resistance is 45°C/W junction-to-lead at 3/8" (10 mm) lead length, and 105°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 with specified copper pad geometry. These values enable 1.0 W dissipation at TL < 105°C or TA < 45°C, per the Maximum Ratings table.
