Product details
Overview
1N4753A-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0 W, 36 V nominal Zener diode in DO-41 glass package with ±5% voltage tolerance, 50 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 7.0 mA test current, and 27.4 V minimum surge voltage for 8.3 ms, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4753A-T datasheet, 1N4753A-T pinout, 1N4753A-T application, or 1N4753A-T equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (175 °C/W), surge current rating (125 A), reverse leakage (<5 µA at 27.4 V), and DO-41 mechanical compatibility in legacy linear regulator designs.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 36 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 7.0 mA test current (IZT), with a temperature coefficient of +0.06 to +0.095 %/°C indicating positive drift above 25 °C.
The device exhibits 50 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at IZT and 1000 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), confirming sharp breakdown characteristics suitable for voltage-clamping and shunt regulation. Thermal derating begins at 50 °C, with 6.67 mW/°C reduction beyond that point when leads are held at 50 °C with 9.5 mm length.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V nominal at 7.0 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator topologies |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance | 50 Ω max at IZT - determines regulation stiffness and AC ripple rejection |
| Reverse Leakage | <5 µA at 27.4 V - ensures low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current | 125 A for 8.3 ms - supports transient overvoltage clamping per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| Thermal Resistance | 175 °C/W junction-to-ambient - requires heatsinking or lead-length control for >50 °C ambient |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.06 to +0.095 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift magnitude and sign across operating range |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DFLZ36-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123FL package; 36 V, 500 mW; 30 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Designed for automated PCB assembly; lower power rating limits use in >500 mW shunt loads | Select for new designs requiring RoHS-compliant SMT layout and reduced board space |
| 1N4753A-A | Identical electrical specs; DO-41 in 5 k-piece ammo pack instead of tape-and-reel | No functional difference; packaging optimized for manual/hand-solder prototyping | Choose for low-volume evaluation or repair where reel feeding is unnecessary |
Compared with DFLZ36-7-F and 1N4753A-A, the 1N4753A-T offers identical Zener performance in tape-and-reel format for high-volume through-hole manufacturing, balancing legacy compatibility with automated placement efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1.0 W operation?
The 1N4753A-T sustains full 1.0 W dissipation only up to 50 °C ambient. Above this, power must be linearly derated at 6.67 mW/°C, reaching zero watt capability at 200 °C ambient-assuming leads are maintained at 50 °C with 9.5 mm length from case per Note 1.
How does the +0.06 to +0.095 %/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
This positive coefficient means the Zener voltage increases with temperature: at 100 °C, VZ rises by ~4.2–6.6 V above its 25 °C value. Designers must account for this drift in precision references-e.g., by using complementary TC components or calibrating at operating temperature.
Is the 1N4753A-T suitable for surge protection per IEC 61000-4-5?
Yes-the 125 A 8.3 ms surge rating aligns with Level 4 (4 kV) combination wave testing. However, it must be paired with appropriate series impedance (e.g., 10 Ω resistor) to limit peak current and avoid thermal runaway during repeated surges.
Why is the 1N4753A-T marked "Not Recommended for New Design"?
Diodes Incorporated recommends DFLZxx devices for new designs due to superior SMT manufacturability, smaller footprint, and improved thermal performance. The 1N4753A-T remains fully supported for legacy through-hole systems but lacks modern packaging and efficiency enhancements.
