Product details
Overview
1N4754APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 39 V ±5% axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic package, rated for -65°C to +150°C operation, with 6.5 mA test current, 23 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 5 μA reverse leakage at 29.7 V. It delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4754APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4754APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4754APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4754APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (1000 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 39 V reference across a wide current range (1–115 mA), with low knee impedance (23 Ω at 6.5 mA) ensuring sharp regulation onset. Its DO-41 plastic encapsulation provides Level 1 moisture sensitivity and eliminates dry-pack requirements per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B.
Thermal performance is defined by two derating paths: 1.0 W at lead temperature <105°C (3/8″ from body) or ambient <45°C on FR4 with specified copper pads. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA, and ESD robustness is confirmed per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at 6.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - sets maximum continuous power handling under lead-cooled conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 23 Ω at IZT = 6.5 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation under varying load |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 μA at VR = 29.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 1000 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal design when leads serve as primary heat path |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - qualifies for industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4754A (non-e3, non-TR) | Same 39 V ±5%, DO-41 package, but Sn/Pb plating and bulk packaging | Lacks RoHS compliance and automated assembly support | Select when legacy Pb-based soldering is used and tape-and-reel is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5245B-TP (Micro Commercial) | 39 V ±5%, SOD-123 surface-mount package, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT | Lower power, smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance (300°C/W) | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 500 mW suffices and reflow compatibility is required |
Compared with 1N4754APE3/TR8, the 1N4754A lacks RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel convenience, while MMSZ5245B-TP trades power and thermal performance for miniaturization-making 1N4754APE3/TR8 optimal for through-hole, high-reliability, 1 W-class regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4754APE3/TR8?
The 1N4754APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 39 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC registration. This tolerance applies at 6.5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS compliance, and "TR8" denotes EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging. 1N4754APE3/TR8 meets this specification across its full operating temperature range.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4754APE3/TR8 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4754APE3/TR8 specifies 45°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 3/8″ lead length, meaning effective cooling relies on adequate copper pour and lead termination. For FR4 boards, it requires 4 mm² copper pads and 1 mm track width to achieve 105°C/W junction-to-ambient. Layout must avoid excessive trace length between diode body and heatsinking planes. 1N4754APE3/TR8 performance degrades if leads are shortened below 10 mm or copper area reduced.
Is 1N4754APE3/TR8 suitable for surge protection applications?
Yes - the 1N4754APE3/TR8 is rated for 1000 mA surge current (ISM) using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C. This makes it appropriate for clamping short-duration transients in DC power rails, provided average power remains within 1.0 W derating limits. Its 23 Ω dynamic impedance ensures rapid response. 1N4754APE3/TR8 should be paired with series impedance to limit peak surge current to ≤1000 mA.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N4754APE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix indicates standard EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging: 8 mm carrier tape, 2000 units per reel. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume manufacturing. The "e3" denotes RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and "P" confirms plastic DO-41 construction. Together, 1N4754APE3/TR8 delivers full regulatory compliance, manufacturability, and mechanical standardization in one orderable part number.
Can 1N4754APE3/TR8 replace older 1N4754A parts in existing designs?
Yes - 1N4754APE3/TR8 is a direct functional and mechanical replacement for 1N4754A, with identical 39 V ±5% Zener voltage, DO-41 package dimensions, and electrical characteristics. The "e3" and "TR8" enhancements add RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel readiness without altering performance. No PCB or schematic changes are needed; 1N4754APE3/TR8 maintains full interchangeability while upgrading environmental and assembly compatibility.
