Product details
Overview
1N4755APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 43 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 6.0 mA test current, 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1500 mA maximum regulator current at TL = 50°C. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and biasing circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4755APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4755APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4755APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4755APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its 43 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.0 W power rating at 25°C with defined derating, DO-41 axial-leaded mechanical form, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 43 V reference across a wide operating current range (6.0 mA IZT to 110 mA IZM at TL = 50°C) and temperature (-65°C to +150°C). Its 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT ensures low AC variation under regulated load conditions.
The device uses silicon junction technology with void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B-no dry pack required. Thermal resistance is 45°C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) and 105°C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4755A | No e3 RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations instead of matte-tin | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Select only for legacy Sn/Pb processes requiring JEDEC-registered non-RoHS variant |
| MMBZ5265BS | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 43 V ±5%, 225 mW rating, 20 Ω ZZT | Lower power handling; requires PCB redesign for SMT placement and thermal relief | Choose for space-constrained boards where 1W dissipation is not required and SMT is mandatory |
Compared with 1N4755A (Sn/Pb) and MMBZ5265BS (SOT-23), the 1N4755APE3/TR8 uniquely combines full 1W power capability, RoHS compliance, axial-leaded DO-41 mounting flexibility, and JEDEC-standardized specifications-making it optimal for through-hole industrial power supplies and ruggedized protection circuits.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4755APE3/TR8?
The 1N4755APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's documentation. This tolerance applies at 6.0 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS compliance but does not affect voltage tolerance.
Can 1N4755APE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-1N4755APE3/TR8 is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL) case and is intended for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4755A and MLL4755A series; however, those parts differ in power rating, thermal performance, and footprint, and are not drop-in replacements for 1N4755APE3/TR8.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4755APE3/TR8?
The 1N4755APE3/TR8 is rated for a maximum reverse surge current (ISM) of 1500 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating supports transient suppression in DC power rails where short-duration overvoltages may occur, such as in motor drive or relay-switching environments.
Does 1N4755APE3/TR8 require moisture preconditioning before reflow?
No-1N4755APE3/TR8 is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and requires no dry pack, baking, or special handling prior to reflow soldering. This simplifies manufacturing flow and eliminates risk of popcorning during assembly.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4755APE3/TR8 impact PCB layout?
The 1N4755APE3/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W at 3/8" lead length, meaning effective heat removal depends on lead length and copper pour area. For reliable 1W operation, maintain ≥3/8" lead length from body and use ≥4 mm² copper pads with 1 mm track width and 25 mm length to achieve the specified 105°C/W junction-to-ambient rating on FR4.
