Product details
Overview
1N4757APE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 51 V, ±5% tolerance (A suffix), 5.0 mA test current (IZT), 95 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum reverse current 5 μA at 38.8 V. It regulates voltage in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4757APE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4757APE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4757APE3/TR8 application, or 1N4757APE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its DO-41 package thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), 150 °C max operating temperature, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its Zener knee occurs at 0.25 mA (IZK), with 18 Ω knee impedance (ZZK) and 900 mA maximum surge current (ISM) for transient suppression.
Designed for DC voltage regulation, it delivers 51 V ±2.55 V regulation at 5 mA with low dynamic impedance and minimal temperature coefficient drift-typical TC near +0.065 %/°C per Figure 3 of the datasheet for 51 V devices.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4757A (non-e3, bulk) | Same electrical specs but Sn/Pb terminations and no RoHS compliance | Not suitable for lead-free manufacturing or export to EU/China RoHS-regulated markets | Select only for legacy repair or non-RoHS production environments |
| MMSZ5257ET1G (ON Semiconductor) | Surface-mount SOD-123, 500 mW rating, 51 V ±5%, 100 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA | Limited to lower-power PCB space-constrained designs; requires different layout and thermal management | Choose for compact consumer electronics where DO-41 footprint is prohibitive |
Compared with 1N4757APE3/TR8, the 1N4757A lacks RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging, while MMSZ5257ET1G trades power handling and thermal performance for miniaturization-making the 1N4757APE3/TR8 optimal for robust, high-reliability 1 W regulation in through-hole industrial assemblies.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4757APE3/TR8?
The 1N4757APE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per JEDEC registration. This means the actual measured Vz at 5 mA test current falls between 48.45 V and 53.55 V across production lots, ensuring predictable regulation in feedback and protection circuits.
Does the 1N4757APE3/TR8 require dry packing before reflow?
No, the 1N4757APE3/TR8 is moisture sensitivity level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without dry pack or baking. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy body and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating eliminate moisture absorption concerns during standard SMT or hand-solder processes.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4757APE3/TR8?
The 1N4757APE3/TR8 is rated for 900 mA maximum surge current (ISM), measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This capability allows it to absorb short-duration overvoltage transients in DC power rails without degradation, supporting robust protection in industrial and telecom applications.
Can the 1N4757APE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
The 1N4757APE3/TR8 uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package and is not a surface-mount device. However, Microsemi offers surface-mount equivalents such as SMAJ4757A and MLL4757A for SMT-compatible implementations-these share identical electrical specs but differ in package, thermal path, and mounting method.
What does the "TR8" suffix indicate in 1N4757APE3/TR8?
"TR8" denotes EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging with 8 mm carrier tape width and 1000 units per reel. This format enables automated pick-and-place assembly despite the axial-leaded DO-41 form factor, supporting high-volume manufacturing while maintaining full traceability and RoHS compliance of the e3-suffixed device.
