Product details
Overview
1N4754A-T50A from ON Semiconductor is a 39 V, 1 W Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, rated for ±5% tolerance at 39 mA test current, with 6.5 Ω dynamic impedance and 5 μA leakage at 31.2 V reverse voltage. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4754A-T50A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal derating capability (6.67 mW/°C above 50°C), junction temperature range (–65°C to +200°C), and DO-41 mechanical compatibility in through-hole designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for precision DC voltage regulation and clamping. Its design centers on stable breakdown behavior at 39 V nominal, with low dynamic impedance (6.5 Ω @ 39 mA) and tightly controlled leakage (≤5 μA @ 31.2 V).
The 1N4754A-T50A is characterized at 25°C ambient with 3/8″ lead length, supports non-repetitive peak reverse surge up to 115 mA (8.3 ms square wave), and maintains full functionality across –65°C to +200°C operating and storage temperature range.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4754A-TP | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging (vs. bulk T50A); identical DO-41 case | No functional difference; selected for automated SMT-compatible through-hole placement | Choose 1N4754A-TP for pick-and-place integration; 1N4754A-T50A for manual or wave-solder prototyping |

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N4754A-T50A?
The 1N4754A-T50A has a nominal Zener voltage of 39 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 37.05 V and 40.95 V when tested at 39 mA. This specification is verified per ON Semiconductor's 1N4728A–1N4758A datasheet Rev. 8, and applies strictly to the 1N4754A-T50A variant under standard thermal conditions (TL = 30°C ± 1°C, 3/8″ lead length).
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the 1N4754A-T50A?
The 1N4754A-T50A is rated for 1.0 W power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 50°C, with linear derating of 6.67 mW/°C above that temperature. This means at 75°C lead temperature, its usable power drops to 0.833 W. The derating curve is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet for the 1N4754A-T50A.
Does the 1N4754A-T50A have a specified Zener impedance, and what does it mean for circuit design?
Yes, the 1N4754A-T50A has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZ) of 6.5 Ω measured at 39 mA test current. This low dynamic resistance means the output voltage varies only ~255 mV for a 39 mA load change-critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in feedback networks and precision references. The value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 1N4754A-T50A in ON Semiconductor's published documentation.
What is the leakage current specification for the 1N4754A-T50A, and at what reverse voltage is it measured?
The 1N4754A-T50A exhibits a maximum leakage current (IR) of 5 μA when subjected to a reverse voltage (VR) of 31.2 V-80% of its nominal Zener voltage. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias networks and voltage monitors, directly supporting low-power design goals in battery-operated or energy-sensitive systems using the 1N4754A-T50A.
Is the 1N4754A-T50A suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the 1N4754A-T50A is qualified for operation from –65°C to +200°C, covering typical under-hood ambient ranges in automotive applications. Its DO-41 glass package and robust surge rating (115 mA, 8.3 ms) align with AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components. While not AEC-Q200 certified out-of-box, the 1N4754A-T50A's published specifications fully support under-hood deployment when used within its rated electrical and thermal limits.
