Product details
Overview
1N4757CPE3/TR8 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 10 μA reverse leakage at 38.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4757CPE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4757CPE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4757CPE3/TR8 application, or 1N4757CPE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its tight 2% VZ tolerance, low ZZT at nominal IZT, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, tape-and-reel packaging (TR8), and thermal resistance of 45 °C/W junction-to-lead.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with sharp breakdown knee, specified at 5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. Its 2% tolerance (C suffix) and 95 Ω dynamic impedance ensure stable regulation under varying load and line conditions in analog feedback paths.
Designed for operation across –65 °C to +150 °C, it delivers 1 W steady-state dissipation at TL < 105 °C (3/8″ from body) or TA < 45 °C on FR4, with moisture sensitivity level 1 and no dry-pack requirement per J-STD-020B.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4757CP | No TR8 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/TR8 for SMT line integration; choose 1N4757CP for prototyping or low-volume hand assembly |
| BZX55-C51 | 5% tolerance (vs. 2%), higher ZZT (100 Ω), different DO-35 package, 500 mW rating | Limited to lower-power references; unsuitable for 1 W continuous dissipation or tight-tolerance feedback | Use BZX55-C51 only where cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy and power headroom requirements |
Compared with 1N4757CP and BZX55-C51, the 1N4757CPE3/TR8 offers superior tolerance control, higher power handling, and production-ready packaging-making it optimal for industrial-grade feedback and reference designs requiring long-term stability and automated assembly support.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4757CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4757CPE3/TR8 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 51 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 49.98 V and 52.02 V at 5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, supporting high-accuracy voltage reference designs without trimming.
Does the 1N4757CPE3/TR8 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4757CPE3/TR8 complies with RoHS directives, as confirmed by the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating on its axial leads. It meets exemption 7a (lead in high-melting-temperature type solders) and is fully compatible with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4757CPE3/TR8?
The 1N4757CPE3/TR8 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) of 1500 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating enables robust transient suppression in 24 V industrial I/O protection circuits without derating.
Can the 1N4757CPE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N4757CPE3/TR8 uses a DO-41 axial-lead package and is not a surface-mount device. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4757A and MLL4757A in DO-214AC and SOD-123 packages respectively, both sharing the same 51 V ±2% specification but differing in thermal and mechanical mounting characteristics.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for the 1N4757CPE3/TR8?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for the 1N4757CPE3/TR8 is 45 °C/W when measured at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body. This value allows accurate junction temperature calculation under 1 W dissipation and informs heatsinking decisions in high-ambient-temperature applications.
