Product details
Overview
1N4756CP/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 47 V ±5% axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 5.5 mA test current, 80 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 19 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4756CP/TR8 datasheet, 1N4756CP/TR8 pinout, 1N4756CP/TR8 application, or 1N4756CP/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its 47 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.0 W steady-state power rating at TL < 105 °C, ±5% tolerance (A suffix), RoHS-compliant "e3" plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8 suffix) for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC voltage across its terminals under varying load and line conditions. It delivers regulated output with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.5 mA and 19 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA, supporting low-noise reference generation in analog circuitry.
Designed for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C, it exhibits 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 10 mm lead length and requires cathode-band orientation for correct Zener biasing-banded end positive relative to anode during regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at 5.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and voltage references |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω @ 5.5 mA - determines AC ripple rejection and regulation stability under load variation |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 19 Ω @ 0.25 mA - enables usable regulation even at very low bias currents |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <5 μA @ 35.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Forward Voltage | ≤1.2 V @ 200 mA - supports use as clamp or protection diode in forward conduction mode |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - informs heatsinking requirements when mounted with 10 mm lead length |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased during regulation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to voltage source input; maintains 47 V above anode when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N4756A series | Ensures industry-standard interchangeability and qualification traceability per MIL-PRF-19500 |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Reduces thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants, improving power handling in compact layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4756A | No TR8 tape-and-reel; bulk or ammo pack only; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for automated SMT placement without repackaging | Select 1N4756CP/TR8 when requiring factory-loaded reels for pick-and-place compatibility |
| BZX55-C47 | 47 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, DO-35 glass package, higher ZZT (100 Ω), lower IZM (130 mA) | Lower power handling limits use in >500 mW regulation or surge scenarios | Choose BZX55-C47 only for space-constrained through-hole designs where 1 W dissipation is not required |
Compared with 1N4756A and BZX55-C47, the 1N4756CP/TR8 offers full 1 W power capability in RoHS-compliant plastic packaging with factory tape-and-reel delivery-making it optimal for industrial power supplies needing robust, automatable voltage references.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4756CP/TR8?
The 1N4756CP/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC standard. This tolerance applies at 5.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The 1N4756CP/TR8 does not offer tighter tolerances like ±1% or ±2%-those require suffixes "D" or "C", respectively, which are not present in this variant.
Is the 1N4756CP/TR8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4756CP/TR8 is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its full designation. This indicates annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits.
What does the "TR8" suffix mean in 1N4756CP/TR8?
The "TR8" suffix denotes EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging with 8 mm carrier tape width, designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) pick-and-place machines. It contains 1,000 units per reel and enables automated assembly without manual handling or repackaging-distinct from bulk or ammo-pack versions like 1N4756A or 1N4756AP.
Can the 1N4756CP/TR8 be used in place of a 1N4756A?
Yes, the 1N4756CP/TR8 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 1N4756A except for packaging and plating: both share 47 V ±5%, 1.0 W rating, DO-41 package, and same Zener characteristics. The "CP" adds RoHS-compliant plating, and "TR8" adds tape-and-reel-so 1N4756CP/TR8 replaces 1N4756A in automated lines but requires no circuit redesign.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4756CP/TR8?
The 1N4756CP/TR8 has a maximum non-repetitive 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 overvoltage suppression in 48 V systems, provided average power dissipation remains within 1.0 W derating limits per Figure 1 of the Microsemi datasheet.
