Product details
Overview
1N4754APE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 39 V ±5% axial-lead Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 6.5 mA test current, 23 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1000 mA maximum regulator current at TA = 50°C. It delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and precision biasing circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4754APE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4754APE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4754APE3/TR12 application, or 1N4754APE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (1000 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 39 V reference across a wide current range (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZM = 1000 mA) with low dynamic impedance (23 Ω at 6.5 mA). Its DO-41 package provides axial-leaded mounting and achieves 45°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length.
It exhibits a nominal temperature coefficient near +0.08%/°C (derived from Figure 3), supports 1.2 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, and complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD insensitivity. Moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at IZT = 6.5 mA - defines primary regulation setpoint with tight production control |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL ≤ 105°C - limits continuous operation without derating on lead heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 6.5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1000 mA at TA = 50°C - sets upper safe operating current before thermal runaway |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables thermal design using lead as heat path |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at VR = 29.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 1000 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands short-duration overvoltage events |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N4754A series | Ensures cross-manufacturer compatibility and standardized electrical behavior per industry baseline |
| Plastic P-suffix construction | Delivers lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body (G-suffix) variants, improving power handling in compact layouts |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating, eliminating lead-based solder concerns |
| Tape-and-reel "TR12" packaging | Enables automated SMT-compatible placement despite axial-lead form factor via carrier tape standard EIA-296 |
| MIL-STD-750 ESD robustness | Withstands electrostatic discharge without parameter shift or failure - critical for manual handling and board assembly |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4754A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; requires leaded solder process | Select only for legacy leaded-assembly environments where RoHS exemption applies |
| MMBZ5267BS-7-F | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 39 V ±5%; 200 mW rating; 30 Ω ZZT at 10 mA | Lower power (0.2 W), higher ZZT, unsuitable for >200 mA loads or high-surge scenarios | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 1.0 W dissipation is not required |
Compared with 1N4754A (leaded variant) and MMBZ5267BS-7-F (SMT 0.2 W), the 1N4754APE3/TR12 uniquely combines full 1.0 W capability, RoHS compliance, tape-and-reel automation support, and proven DO-41 thermal performance - making it optimal for industrial power rails requiring robust, compliant, and manufacturable regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4754APE3/TR12?
The 1N4754APE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 39 V with a ±5% tolerance, as confirmed by its "A" suffix per JEDEC registration. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 37.05 V and 40.95 V at IZT = 6.5 mA and TL = 25°C. The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C.
Does 1N4754APE3/TR12 support automated assembly?
Yes, the "TR12" suffix indicates EIA-296-compliant tape-and-reel packaging optimized for pick-and-place equipment. The DO-41 axial-lead form factor is carrier-mounted to enable high-throughput placement, and the matte-tin plating ensures reliable solder wetting with both leaded and lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for 1N4754APE3/TR12?
The 1N4754APE3/TR12 is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 105°C with 10 mm lead length from body, or at ambient temperature (TA) ≤ 45°C when mounted on FR4 with specified copper pad geometry. Derating is required above these temperatures per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4754APE3/TR12 compare to glass-body variants?
The "P" suffix denotes plastic encapsulation, which provides lower thermal resistance than glass-body ("G") versions of the same JEDEC number. Specifically, 1N4754APE3/TR12 achieves 45°C/W junction-to-lead (vs. ~60°C/W typical for glass), enabling higher sustained power in thermally constrained designs without forced cooling.
Is 1N4754APE3/TR12 suitable for overvoltage protection in 36 V automotive systems?
Yes - the 39 V Zener voltage provides appropriate headroom above nominal 36 V rail while clamping transients effectively. With 1000 mA surge current rating (½-sine, 1/120 s) and 1.0 W continuous dissipation, the 1N4754APE3/TR12 meets ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2/5a requirements when used with proper series impedance, and its –65°C to +150°C operating range covers full automotive under-hood conditions.
