Product details
Overview
1N4755CPE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 43 V ±2% tolerance silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 6.0 mA test current (IZT), 22 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 1500 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 50°C. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4755CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4755CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4755CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4755CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, 1.0 W power rating at 25°C with defined thermal derating, DO-41 axial-leaded mechanical form factor, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 43 V output across a wide operating current range (1–1500 mA) and temperature span (−65°C to +150°C). Its 22 Ω dynamic impedance at 6.0 mA ensures low AC ripple sensitivity, while the 0.25 A maximum surge current (ISM) supports transient suppression in DC rails.
The device uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and is moisture-sensitive 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 with specified copper pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43.0 V ±2% at 6.0 mA - enables precise 43 V reference generation with low tolerance drift |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at 25°C TL - defines maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 22 Ω @ IZT = 6.0 mA - determines AC regulation stability under varying load currents |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1500 mA at TA = 50°C - sets upper limit for sustained Zener conduction without thermal runaway |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA @ VR = 32.7 V - confirms low off-state current below knee voltage, critical for standby efficiency |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max @ 200 mA - specifies forward conduction drop when used as clamp or rectifier in dual-role designs |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - informs heatsinking requirements for lead-mounted PCB layouts |

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stable 43 V reference in linear regulator feedback networks or ADC reference dividers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference element providing regulated bias point.

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) vs. ±2% (C suffix) | Less suitable for precision references; acceptable for general-purpose clamping | Select 1N4755CPE3/TR8 when ±2% accuracy is required; choose 1N4755A for cost-sensitive, non-critical regulation |
| MMSZ43ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 43 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 30 Ω ZZT | Not interchangeable due to lower power, different footprint, and looser tolerance | Use MMSZ43ET1G only in space-constrained, low-power SMT designs where 1N4755CPE3/TR8's axial DO-41 form is impractical |
Compared with 1N4755A and MMSZ43ET1G, the 1N4755CPE3/TR8 uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, 1.0 W power, and DO-41 through-hole compatibility-making it optimal for robust, precision 43 V regulation in industrial power supplies and test equipment where thermal margin and accuracy are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4755CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4755CPE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 43 V breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 42.14 V and 43.86 V when measured at 6.0 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature-critical for high-accuracy reference designs where tighter regulation is required than the standard ±5% (A suffix) version offers.
What does the "e3" suffix indicate on the 1N4755CPE3/TR8?
The "e3" suffix on the 1N4755CPE3/TR8 signifies RoHS-compliant construction with annealed matte-tin plating on the leads, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU. This replaces traditional tin-lead finishes while maintaining solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026-ensuring compatibility with modern lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes without compromising joint reliability.
Can the 1N4755CPE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N4755CPE3/TR8 is packaged in the axial-leaded DO-41 (DO-204AL) case and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT alternatives, consider Microsemi's MLL4755 or ON Semiconductor's MMSZ43ET1G-but note these differ in power rating, tolerance, and impedance. The 1N4755CPE3/TR8 requires through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for thermal performance validation.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4755CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4755CPE3/TR8 is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at 25°C lead temperature (TL), with linear derating above that point: 8.3 mW/°C above 25°C up to 105°C TL. When mounted on FR4 with specified copper pads, its ambient-rated power drops to 1.0 W only below 45°C ambient-so thermal design must account for both lead and board conduction paths to avoid exceeding junction limits.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4755CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4755CPE3/TR8 uses a cathode band-typically a single black or dark-colored stripe-to mark the cathode terminal. For proper Zener regulation, the banded end must be held at a higher potential than the unmarked (anode) end. Reversing polarity places the device in forward conduction (≤1.2 V drop), disabling regulation and potentially causing excessive current if uncurrent-limited.
