Product details
Overview
1N4757APE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 51 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 5.0 mA test current, 95 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.25 A maximum regulator current at TA = 50°C. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4757APE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4757APE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4757APE3/TR12 application, or 1N4757APE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include its 51 V nominal Zener voltage, 5% tolerance, 1.0 W power rating at 25°C, DO-41 axial-leaded package, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across a wide operating current range (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZM = 250 mA) and temperature span (–65°C to +150°C). Its 95 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.0 mA ensures predictable regulation under varying load conditions.
The device features a cathode band marking, tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminations, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per 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 defined copper pad geometry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±5% at IZT = 5.0 mA - defines precise regulation point for reference design |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL ≤ 105°C - sets thermal derating boundary for PCB layout |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 95 Ω at IZT = 5.0 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 250 mA at TA = 50°C - limits usable current range in shunt regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 38.8 V - ensures low standby power loss below knee voltage |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal modeling with standard lead-mounting practice |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - relevant for polarity-check or ESD clamp use cases |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4757APE3/TR12?
The 1N4757APE3/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC standard. This tolerance applies at TL = 25°C and IZT = 5.0 mA. The "e3" suffix confirms RoHS compliance but does not affect voltage tolerance.
What package type does the 1N4757APE3/TR12 use?
The 1N4757APE3/TR12 uses the DO-41 (also designated DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package. It features a void-free thermosetting epoxy body meeting UL94V-0, with cathode polarity marked by a colored band on the banded end.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N4757APE3/TR12?
The 1N4757APE3/TR12 is rated for 1.0 W power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 105°C with 3/8″ (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.
Is the 1N4757APE3/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N4757APE3/TR12 explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Terminations use annealed matte-tin plating, and the device meets all restricted substance thresholds without exemptions.
What is the surge current rating of the 1N4757APE3/TR12?
The 1N4757APE3/TR12 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating of 250 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating supports transient overvoltage clamping in protection circuits without permanent degradation.
