Product details
Overview
1N4755CPE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 43 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 6 mA test current, 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 110 mA maximum regulator current at TL = 50°C. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4755CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4755CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4755CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4755CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (1500 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 43 V output across 1–110 mA regulation current, with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its 22 Ω dynamic impedance at 6 mA ensures low AC ripple under varying load conditions.
Designed for axial-lead mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1 oz copper, it delivers 1.0 W steady-state dissipation at TA ≤ 45°C or TL ≤ 105°C (3/8″ lead length), with thermal resistance of 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient under defined layout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V ±2% at 6 mA - enables precise reference generation within tight error bands for feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at 25°C - supports continuous regulation in compact linear supplies without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 22 Ω at 6 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load transients |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 110 mA at TL = 50°C - defines safe DC operating envelope for sustained clamping |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 1500 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands short-duration overvoltage events without degradation |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - allows accurate thermal design using standard lead-length derating curves |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 μA max at 32.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic package with axial leads; cathode indicated by band; RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating; moisture sensitivity Level 1 (no dry pack required).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4755A | Same 43 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) and no RoHS "e3" marking | Acceptable where reference accuracy < ±3% suffices and Pb-free compliance is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs tolerance and environmental compliance needs |
| MMSZ43ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, same 43 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT | Used in space-constrained layouts; lower power and higher impedance limit use to low-current references | Choose for automated assembly of compact PCBs where 1 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4755A and MMSZ43ET1G, the 1N4755CPE3/TR12 offers tighter ±2% regulation and guaranteed RoHS compliance in a through-hole package optimized for 1 W thermal management-making it optimal for industrial power references requiring long-term stability and process compatibility.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4755CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4755CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls between 42.14 V and 43.86 V when measured at 6 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports precision reference applications where standard ±5% (1N4755A) would require additional calibration.
Does the 1N4755CPE3/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4755CPE3/TR12 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, confirmed by the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating. Its termination is compatible with Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds, and it carries no restricted substances above threshold limits per Annex II of the directive.
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for the 1N4755CPE3/TR12?
The maximum continuous Zener current (IZM) for the 1N4755CPE3/TR12 is 110 mA at a lead temperature (TL) of 50°C. This value decreases with rising lead temperature per the derating curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet, reaching zero at TL = 105°C. Operation beyond this limit risks thermal runaway and permanent parameter shift.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4755CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4755CPE3/TR12 uses a cathode band to indicate polarity: the banded end is the cathode and must be held at a higher potential than the anode to achieve Zener breakdown regulation. During forward bias, the device conducts with ≤1.2 V drop at 200 mA; reverse operation below 32.7 V yields only leakage current (<5 μA).
What packaging format does the 1N4755CPE3/TR12 use?
The 1N4755CPE3/TR12 ships in tape-and-reel format per EIA-296 standard, indicated by the "TR12" suffix. Each reel contains 12,000 units, enabling automated pick-and-place insertion despite its axial-lead DO-41 package. The carrier tape is designed for standard 8 mm pocket width feeders with embossed cavity geometry.
