Product details
Overview
1N4754A-TR from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar power Zener diode rated for 39 V nominal Zener voltage at 6.5 mA test current, with ±5 % tolerance, 1.3 W power dissipation, and DO-41 package. It operates as a precision voltage reference or shunt regulator in DC power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4754A-TR datasheet, 1N4754A-TR pinout, 1N4754A-TR application, or 1N4754A-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, dynamic impedance (60 Ω at IZT), surge current capability (115 mA), thermal resistance (110 K/W), and DO-41 mechanical compatibility in board-level voltage regulation designs.
Technical Context
This device functions as a single-element, two-terminal shunt regulator where reverse-biased operation maintains stable voltage across load by conducting excess current when input exceeds VZ. Its thermal equilibrium Zener specification ensures stable regulation under steady-state DC conditions with lead temperature controlled at 30 °C ±1 °C.
The DO-41 package supports through-hole mounting with defined thermal path constraints: power derating begins above 50 °C ambient, and maximum junction temperature is limited to 175 °C. Absolute maximum ratings assume leads held at ambient temperature at 4 mm from case for 10 ms pulse conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - defines regulated output voltage in shunt configuration with 6.5 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1300 mW - maximum continuous DC power at Tamb = 25 °C with specified lead thermal condition |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω at IZT = 6.5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 29.7 V - sets minimum operating current threshold before full Zener conduction |
| Surge Current (IZM) | 115 mA - peak non-repetitive current capability for transient overvoltage clamping |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175 °C max - constrains thermal design margin for PCB copper area and airflow in high-power applications |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - relevant for polarity-check or forward-bias protection circuit integration |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded package with cathode identified by band marking; body diameter ≤2.6 mm, length ≥3.3 mm, lead diameter ≥0.7 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Cathode | Forward current exit / Zener voltage reference node | Marked end; connected to regulated output rail; defines VZ potential relative to anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silicon planar construction | Enables tight Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %) and repeatable breakdown characteristics across production lots |
| 1.3 W power rating | Supports direct regulation of medium-current analog rails (e.g., op-amp supplies) without external pass transistor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4754A-TAP | Same electrical specs and DO-41 package; supplied in ammopack instead of tape-and-reel | No functional difference; selected for manual assembly or low-volume prototyping | Choose 1N4754A-TAP when reel handling is not required and smaller packaging format is preferred |
| BZX85C39 | 39 V Zener, ±5 %, but rated for 1.3 W in DO-41 with higher typical ZZT (70 Ω vs. 60 Ω) and different surge rating (100 mA vs. 115 mA) | Suitable for general-purpose stabilization but less optimal for high-precision or high-surge environments | Choose BZX85C39 only if tighter dynamic impedance or higher surge margin is not critical to system performance |
Compared with 1N4754A-TR, the 1N4754A-TAP offers identical electrical behavior in a different packaging format, while BZX85C39 provides similar voltage regulation with measurable trade-offs in regulation stiffness and transient handling-making 1N4754A-TR preferable for applications demanding tighter Zener impedance and higher surge resilience.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for the 1N4754A-TR?
The 1N4754A-TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 39 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 37.05 V and 40.95 V when tested at IZT = 6.5 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions. This tolerance is guaranteed per Vishay's Rev. 2.7 datasheet (Document Number: 85816) and applies to all units in the 1N4754A-TR production lot.
Can the 1N4754A-TR be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4754A-TR uses the DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded package and is intended for through-hole mounting only. It lacks SMD-compatible terminations or footprint dimensions. For surface-mount equivalents, engineers should evaluate devices such as the BZT03-C39 or SMAJ39A, which differ electrically and thermally from the 1N4754A-TR.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4754A-TR?
The 1N4754A-TR has a non-repetitive peak surge current (IZM) rating of 115 mA, specified at tp = 10 ms. This value reflects its capability to absorb short-duration overvoltage transients without parametric shift or failure, provided thermal limits are respected. The surge rating is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the Vishay 85816 datasheet.
How does the 1N4754A-TR behave under elevated ambient temperatures?
The 1N4754A-TR must be derated linearly above 50 °C ambient temperature, as shown in Fig. 1 of the Vishay datasheet. At 100 °C ambient, its usable power dissipation drops to approximately 650 mW. This derating stems from its RthJA of 110 K/W and maximum Tj of 175 °C, and must be accounted for in thermal layout design.
Is the 1N4754A-TR RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 1N4754A-TR complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization policy (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). Its molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and full compliance documentation is available upon request from Vishay's [email protected] support channel.
