Product details
Overview
1N4756CPE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 47 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 5.5 mA test current, 19 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1500 mA maximum regulator current at TL = 50°C. It delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4756CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4756CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4756CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4756CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 2% VZ tolerance (C suffix), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3), tape-and-reel packaging (TR8), 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, and compliance with MIL-PRF-19500 screening options when prefixed.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 47 V reference across a wide current range (5.5 mA to 1500 mA), with low dynamic impedance ensuring minimal output variation under load transients. Its DO-41 plastic encapsulation provides Level 1 moisture sensitivity and eliminates dry-pack requirements per J-STD-020B.
The device features a cathode band marking, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin terminals solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and is rated for -65°C to +150°C operating/storage temperature. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA, and surge current withstand is specified at 1500 mA for 1/120 s half-sine pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±2% - precise reference voltage for feedback loops and clamping thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - supports continuous regulation without forced cooling in compact layouts |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5.5 mA - standard bias point for VZ measurement and impedance characterization |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 19 Ω at IZT - low AC impedance ensures stable regulation under varying load conditions |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1500 mA at TL = 50°C - enables high-current shunt regulation or transient suppression |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - allows accurate thermal design using lead temperature as proxy for junction temp |

Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package with cathode indicated by a single black band. Leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Polarity must be observed: cathode (banded end) is positive during Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to circuit common; establishes return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Regulated output node | Banded end; held at stable 47 V above anode when reverse-biased above knee voltage |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4756A | Same 47 V, 1 W, DO-41, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) and no RoHS or tape-and-reel designation | Acceptable where cost-sensitive designs tolerate wider output voltage variation | Select 1N4756A only if ±5% VZ meets system spec and lead-free assembly is not required |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123, 47 V ±5%, 500 mW, 10 Ω ZZT, 100 mA IZM | Used in space-constrained PCBs where axial leads are incompatible with layout or automation | Choose MMSZ4702T1G for high-density SMT designs accepting reduced power and looser tolerance |
Compared with 1N4756A and MMSZ4702T1G, the 1N4756CPE3/TR8 uniquely combines ±2% precision, 1 W power handling, RoHS compliance, and tape-and-reel packaging-making it optimal for industrial-grade power supplies requiring calibrated performance and production-ready logistics.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4756CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4756CPE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 47 V breakdown voltage falls within 46.06 V to 47.94 V at 5.5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports precision regulation where ±5% variants like 1N4756A would introduce unacceptable output variation.
Does the 1N4756CPE3/TR8 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4756CPE3/TR8 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, confirmed by the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its DO-41 leads. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and is suitable for lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
What does the "TR8" suffix indicate in 1N4756CPE3/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix specifies tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm carrier tape, 4 mm pocket depth, and 2000 units per reel. This format enables automated pick-and-place handling in high-volume manufacturing, even though the 1N4756CPE3/TR8 is an axial-lead DO-41 device-not a surface-mount component.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4756CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4756CPE3/TR8 is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) < 105°C with 3/8 inch (10 mm) lead length from body, or at ambient temperature (TA) < 45°C when mounted on FR4 with specified copper pad geometry. Derating is required above these temperatures per Figure 1 in the Microsemi datasheet.
How is polarity marked on the 1N4756CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4756CPE3/TR8 uses a single black cathode band to mark polarity on the DO-41 body. During Zener operation, the banded (cathode) end must be held positive relative to the unmarked (anode) end. Reversing polarity subjects the device to forward conduction (≤1.2 V @ 200 mA), disabling regulation and risking thermal overstress if forward current exceeds ratings.
