Product details
Overview
1N4753AP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 36 V, ±5% tolerance (A suffix), 7.0 mA test current (IZT), 50 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.25 A maximum regulator current at TA = 50°C. It operates from –65°C to +150°C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4753AP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4753AP/TR12 pinout, 1N4753AP/TR12 application, or 1N4753AP/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-41 package thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), 1.2 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, RoHS-compliant "e3" plating option, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12) for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 36 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 7.0 mA test current with ≤50 Ω dynamic impedance, ensuring low regulation error under typical operating currents from 1 mA to 250 mA.
Thermal performance is defined by two derating paths: 1.0 W at lead temperature TL < 105°C (3/8″ from body) or at ambient temperature TA < 45°C on FR4 board with 4 mm² copper pads. The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 36 V, consistent with mid-voltage Zener behavior per Figure 3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±5% at IZT = 7.0 mA - defines regulated output level in feedback or clamp applications |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL ≤ 105°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with proper lead heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | ≤50 Ω at IZT = 7.0 mA - determines voltage variation under changing load current |
| Maximum Regulator Current (IZM) | 0.25 A at TA = 50°C - limits safe reverse current during sustained regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4753A (no TR suffix) | Same electrical specs and DO-41 package; lacks tape-and-reel packaging | Not suitable for automated SMT assembly; requires manual or bulk placement | Select when hand-soldering or low-volume prototyping eliminates need for TR12 format |
| BZX55C36 (Vishay) | 36 V, ±5%, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package, higher ZZT (70 Ω) | Lower power handling and higher impedance limit use in high-current or precision regulation | Choose only for space-constrained designs where 0.5 W dissipation suffices and DO-35 footprint is required |
Compared with 1N4753A (bulk) and BZX55C36, the 1N4753AP/TR12 offers full 1.0 W capability in tape-and-reel format with industry-low 50 Ω dynamic impedance-making it optimal for production-grade power regulation where reliability, thermal margin, and assembly compatibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1N4753AP/TR12?
The 1N4753AP/TR12 has a nominal zener voltage of 36 V with ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's JEDEC-registered specification. This tolerance applies at 7.0 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The device does not offer tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) unless marked with C or D suffixes, which are not present in this variant.
Does 1N4753AP/TR12 support automated PCB assembly?
Yes, the "TR12" suffix confirms that 1N4753AP/TR12 is supplied in EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel format with 12 mm carrier tape width, fully compatible with high-speed pick-and-place equipment. Its DO-41 axial package is designed for through-hole insertion, and the moisture sensitivity Level 1 rating eliminates dry-pack requirements prior to assembly.
What is the maximum steady-state current the 1N4753AP/TR12 can regulate?
The 1N4753AP/TR12 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 0.25 A at ambient temperature TA = 50°C when mounted on FR4 board with specified copper pad geometry. At lower ambient temperatures or with enhanced heatsinking (e.g., shorter leads), it can sustain higher currents up to its 1.0 W power limit, provided junction temperature remains within –65°C to +150°C range.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4753AP/TR12 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4753AP/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length, meaning lead length directly impacts power handling. For reliable 1.0 W operation, leads must be kept ≥10 mm from the body and routed over thermal vias or wide copper pours. On FR4 with 4 mm² pads, junction-to-ambient resistance rises to 105°C/W, limiting usable power to ~0.43 W at TA = 45°C.
Is 1N4753AP/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" designation in the full manufacturer part number (1N4753AP,e3/TR12) indicates RoHS compliance with annealed matte-tin plating per Microsemi's documentation. The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits.
