Product details
Overview
1N4757CPE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 51 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 5 mA test current, 95 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 1N4757CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4757CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4757CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4757CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45°C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (1500 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 51 V reference across a wide current range (5 mA to 1500 mA), with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MicroNote 202. Its DO-41 plastic package provides lower thermal resistance than glass-body variants and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry pack.
The device features a cathode band polarity indicator, 1.2 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, and is rated for 260°C soldering (10 s). It supports MIL-PRF-19500 screening when prefixed (e.g., MX1N4757CPE3/TR12) and is designed for operation from –65°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±2% at 5 mA - ensures precise reference accuracy for feedback loops and voltage clamping |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - defines safe continuous operating envelope with derating above 105°C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 95 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation under varying load currents |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 1500 mA at TL = 50°C - sets peak steady-state current capability before thermal shutdown |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 38.8 V - confirms low off-state power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate junction temperature estimation for reliability analysis |
| Solder Temperature | 260°C for 10 s max - compatible with standard IR reflow and wave soldering processes |
Pinout & Package

| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node; maintains regulated 51 V drop during reverse conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Enables tighter feedback loop control vs. standard ±5% (A suffix) or ±10% (no suffix) parts |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating, eliminating lead-based solder compatibility issues |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR12) | Supports automated SMT placement via EIA-296 standard carrier tape, 12 mm width, 1000 pcs/reel |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Allows indefinite floor life without dry pack or baking, reducing handling overhead in production environments |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for special ESD handling protocols during assembly and testing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4757CP | No TR12 tape-and-reel; bulk or ammo pack only; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for automated pick-and-place; requires manual or vibratory feeding | Select 1N4757CPE3/TR12 for SMT production; choose 1N4757CP for prototyping or low-volume hand assembly |
| MMSZ5257ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 51 V ±5%; 200 mW power rating; 500 mA IZM | Lower power handling and looser tolerance; unsuitable for 1 W continuous regulation | Use MMSZ5257ET1G only in space-constrained, low-power bias networks where 51 V ±5% suffices |
Compared with 1N4757CP and MMSZ5257ET1G, the 1N4757CPE3/TR12 uniquely combines ±2% tolerance, 1 W dissipation, DO-41 mechanical robustness, and EIA-296 tape-and-reel compatibility-making it optimal for high-reliability, medium-power industrial voltage references requiring automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4757CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4757CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in its part number. This means its nominal 51 V breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 49.98 V and 52.02 V when measured at 5 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance supports precision voltage reference designs where standard ±5% (A suffix) parts would introduce unacceptable error.
Does the 1N4757CPE3/TR12 require dry packing due to moisture sensitivity?
No, the 1N4757CPE3/TR12 is moisture classified as Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has unlimited floor life and does not require dry pack or baking prior to soldering. Its DO-41 plastic encapsulation provides inherent moisture resistance, simplifying handling and storage in standard production environments without humidity-controlled cabinets.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4757CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4757CPE3/TR12 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating of 1500 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating applies to short-duration transients such as ESD events or inductive kickback, and reflects the device's ability to absorb energy without parametric shift or failure-critical for overvoltage clamp applications in industrial controls.
Is the 1N4757CPE3/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N4757CPE3/TR12 explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating on leads and void-free UL94V-0 thermosetting epoxy encapsulation-both fully compliant with lead-free soldering requirements and environmental regulations.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate in 1N4757CPE3/TR12?
The "TR12" suffix indicates EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging with 12 mm carrier tape width, containing 1000 units per reel. This format enables direct integration into automated SMT pick-and-place equipment, supporting high-throughput manufacturing. The "TR" designation confirms factory-loaded, sealed reels with proper orientation and leader/tail specifications per industry standards.
