Product details
Overview
1N4752CPE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 33 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 7.5 mA test current, 45 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1000 mA maximum regulator current at TA = 50°C. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4752CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4752CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4752CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (1000 mA), and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across a wide current range (1–1000 mA) and temperature span (−65°C to +150°C). Its 33 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above 5 V, with typical TC of +12 mV/°C near 33 V as shown in Figure 3.
The device uses void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and axial-leaded DO-41 mechanical form factor. It is moisture-sensitive Level 1 per J-STD-020B-no dry pack required-and ESD-nonsensitive per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33 V ±2% at IZT = 7.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous power handling under defined thermal conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance | 45 Ω at IZT = 7.5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Regulator Current | 1000 mA at TA = 50°C - specifies peak steady-state reverse current before thermal runaway |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design using lead conduction path, critical for PCB layout heat sinking |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at VR = 25.1 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Solder Temperature | 260°C for 10 s max - defines reflow profile compatibility with standard lead-free assembly processes |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4752A | No "C" tolerance suffix → ±5% VZ; same DO-41 package and 33 V nominal rating | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision; requires wider system tolerance budget | Select 1N4752A only if ±5% regulation error is acceptable in final design margin |
| BZX55C33 | Same 33 V ±2%, but DO-35 glass package; higher thermal resistance (≈120 °C/W); 500 mW rating | Not suitable for 1 W continuous operation; limited to low-power signal-level clamping | Choose BZX55C33 only for space-constrained signal-path applications where power dissipation ≤0.5 W |
Compared with 1N4752A and BZX55C33, the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 delivers tighter voltage tolerance than the former and higher power capability than the latter-making it uniquely suited for industrial-grade 1 W shunt references requiring both precision and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4752CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4752CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its measured breakdown voltage at 7.5 mA test current falls between 32.34 V and 33.66 V at TL = 25°C. This tighter tolerance supports precision reference applications where ±5% devices like the 1N4752A would introduce unacceptable error margins.
Is the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its designation. It features annealed matte-tin plating on axial leads, qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and meets lead-free soldering requirements with a 260°C/10 s maximum reflow profile. The device contains no restricted substances above EU RoHS thresholds.
What package type does the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 use?
The 1N4752CPE3/TR12 uses the DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package. This package offers lower thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead) compared to glass-body alternatives and is moisture-sensitive Level 1 per J-STD-020B-requiring no dry pack prior to assembly. Polarity is marked by a cathode band.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for the 1N4752CPE3/TR12?
The maximum continuous regulator current for the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 is 1000 mA at ambient temperature TA = 50°C when mounted on an FR4 PCB with specified copper pad geometry. At higher temperatures, derating applies per Figure 1; at TA = 45°C, full 1 W dissipation is supported. Exceeding this current risks thermal runaway and permanent degradation.
Does the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 require special ESD handling?
No, the 1N4752CPE3/TR12 is nonsensitive to electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. It does not require ESD-safe workstations, wrist straps, or conductive packaging during handling or assembly. This simplifies manufacturing flow and reduces risk of latent damage in high-volume production environments.
