Product details
Overview
1N4753CP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W plastic-encapsulated Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 36 V, ±5% tolerance (A-suffix), DO-41 package, and 7.0 mA test current. It regulates voltage across wide operating current and temperature ranges (-65°C to +150°C), and is used in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4753CP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4753CP/TR12 pinout, 1N4753CP/TR12 application, or 1N4753CP/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage stability at 7.0 mA, 50 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 0.25 A maximum regulator current at TA = 50°C, RoHS-compliant "e3" plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its 36 V Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with typical TC near +3.5 mV/°C per Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Designed for axial-lead mounting on FR4 PCBs, it delivers 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) or TA < 45°C with specified copper pad geometry, and features 105°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under those conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±5% at 7.0 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with proper lead heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 50 Ω at IZT = 7.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 0.25 A at TA = 50°C - limits safe peak reverse current without thermal runaway |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 27.4 V - ensures low standby power loss below regulation threshold |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 105°C/W on FR4 (1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pad) - enables thermal design margin estimation for PCB layout |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - relevant for polarity-check or ESD protection forward-bias use cases |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded 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 end | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node; defines regulated output voltage referenced to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N47xxAP series | Industry-standard footprint and electrical behavior enabling direct replacement in legacy designs |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required before PCB assembly - reduces manufacturing overhead and handling risk |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Robust handling during manual or automated assembly without special ESD controls |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" termination | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing solderability or reliability |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR12) | Enables high-speed automated pick-and-place placement with standard reel logistics (EIA-296) |

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 "P" suffix → glass-body DO-35 package; higher thermal resistance (125°C/W vs. 105°C/W) | Less suitable for high-power-density PCBs requiring efficient heat conduction through leads | Select only if legacy DO-35 footprint or higher-temperature ambient (>105°C lead temp) is required |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123; 36 V ±5%, 200 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Lower power handling and different thermal path - not interchangeable without derating or layout change | Choose for space-constrained designs where 1 W dissipation is unnecessary and reflow compatibility is prioritized |
Compared with 1N4753A and MMSZ5245B-TP, the 1N4753CP/TR12 offers superior 1.0 W power handling in a moisture-insensitive, ESD-robust axial package with optimized thermal performance for through-hole power regulation - making it preferred for industrial power supplies and ruggedized analog references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4753CP/TR12?
The "A" suffix in 1N4753CP/TR12 specifies ±5% tolerance on the nominal 36 V Zener voltage, measured at 7.0 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C.
Does 1N4753CP/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No. The 1N4753CP/TR12 is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has no floor life limitation and does not require dry pack or baking prior to reflow or wave soldering - simplifying manufacturing flow and reducing handling risk.
What is the maximum reverse current for 1N4753CP/TR12 at 27.4 V?
At VR = 27.4 V (75% of nominal VZ), the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N4753CP/TR12 is 5 μA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports stable reference performance in high-impedance analog circuits.
Can 1N4753CP/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N4753CP/TR12 uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4753A (SMA) and MLL4753A (SOD-123) families, which share the same 36 V, ±5% specification but differ in package, power rating, and thermal behavior.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate in 1N4753CP/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12,000 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is compatible with standard SMT feeders, while preserving the RoHS-compliant "e3" termination and plastic DO-41 construction of the base 1N4753CP part.
