Product details
Overview
1N4756PE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 47 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 5.5 mA test current, 80 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1500 mA maximum regulator current at TL = 50°C. It delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and biasing circuits across -65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4756PE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4756PE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4756PE3/TR8 application, or 1N4756PE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), 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 axial-lead Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 47 V reference across a wide current range (5.5 mA to 1500 mA). Its 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.5 mA ensures low output variation under load transients, while its 45°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable power dissipation at 1.0 W when leads are trimmed to 10 mm.
The device features a sharp knee in the breakdown curve verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202, and exhibits negligible ESD sensitivity per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020. Its moisture sensitivity level is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 - no dry pack required.
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 reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω at IZT = 5.5 mA - determines output voltage deviation under small-signal AC load variations |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1500 mA at TL = 50°C - establishes peak steady-state current capability before thermal runaway |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <5 μA at VR = 35.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate junction temperature estimation for reliability analysis |
| Forward Voltage | ≤1.2 V at 200 mA - defines conduction loss during forward-biased transient conditions |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package with cathode indicated by band; banded end must be held positive relative to anode for Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node in shunt regulator configuration | Connected to system ground or lowest potential point; carries full load current in parallel regulation |
| Cathode | Zener voltage reference node | Banded terminal; connected to input rail via series resistor; maintains 47 V relative to anode under reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Enables lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1, eliminating dry-pack requirements |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Reduces thermal resistance by ~30% vs. glass-body (G suffix) variants, improving power handling stability |
| JEDEC-registered 5% tolerance | Guarantees VZ between 44.65 V and 49.35 V at 25°C, simplifying precision reference design |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Withstands human-body-model discharges without parameter shift, reducing handling controls in assembly |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR8) | Supports automated pick-and-place placement with EIA-296 standard carrier tape and 8 mm pocket pitch |

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 "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for lead-free manufacturing; requires dry-pack only if stored >12 months | Select when legacy Pb-based assembly or extended shelf-life storage is required |
| MMBZ5256BS | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 47 V ±5%; 200 mW rating; 100 Ω ZZT at 10 mA | Lower power handling and higher impedance limit use to low-current signal-level references | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 1.0 W dissipation is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4756PE3/TR8?
The 1N4756PE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 44.65 V and 49.35 V when measured at 5.5 mA and 25°C lead temperature. This tolerance is confirmed by the "A" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's documentation and applies across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
Does 1N4756PE3/TR8 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4756PE3/TR8 does not require dry packing. It is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking or humidity-controlled packaging. This is enabled by its void-free thermosetting epoxy body and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4756PE3/TR8?
The 1N4756PE3/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 applies to transient overvoltage events such as ESD or inductive switching spikes, and is validated per Microsemi's test methodology described in Note 3 of the datasheet.
Can 1N4756PE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4756PE3/TR8 uses a DO-41 axial-lead package and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4756A (SMA package) and MLL4756A (SOD-123 package), both sharing identical 47 V ±5% electrical specifications but differing in thermal performance and mounting method.
What does the "TR8" suffix indicate in 1N4756PE3/TR8?
"TR8" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 8 mm pocket pitch and orientation optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment. The "e3" denotes RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and "P" specifies plastic encapsulation - all confirmed in Microsemi's 1N4728AP–1N4764AP,e3 datasheet revision C.
