Product details
Overview
1N4757CP/TR8 from Microsemi is a 51 V, ±5% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 5.0 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 -65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4757CP/TR8 datasheet, 1N4757CP/TR8 pinout, 1N4757CP/TR8 application, or 1N4757CP/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its 51 V nominal Zener voltage, 1 W power rating at 25°C with 45°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR8).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 51 V reference across a wide current range (5–1500 mA), with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per JEDEC standards. Its DO-41 plastic encapsulation 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., MV1N4757CP/TR8) and complies with UL94V-0 flammability requirements.
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 | No TR8 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for automated assembly; requires manual loading or vibratory bowl feeding | Select 1N4757CP/TR8 for SMT line integration; choose 1N4757A only for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldered builds |
| MMBZ5257BS | SOT-23 surface-mount package; 51 V ±5%, 225 mW power rating; 100 Ω ZZT; RoHS-compliant | Lower power handling and different thermal path; unsuitable for >225 mW continuous dissipation | Use MMBZ5257BS where board space is constrained and power demand ≤225 mW; retain 1N4757CP/TR8 for 1 W applications requiring axial-lead robustness |
Compared with 1N4757A and MMBZ5257BS, the 1N4757CP/TR8 uniquely combines 1 W power capability, DO-41 mechanical ruggedness, EIA-296 tape-and-reel compatibility, and JEDEC-standardized 51 V regulation-making it optimal for high-reliability, medium-power, automated production environments.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4757CP/TR8?
The 1N4757CP/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC part number. This tolerance is guaranteed at IZT = 5.0 mA and TL = 25°C. The "P" denotes plastic encapsulation and "TR8" specifies EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging. The 1N4757CP/TR8 does not support tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) - those require C or D suffix variants like 1N4757CP/TR8-C.
Can the 1N4757CP/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
The 1N4757CP/TR8 uses a DO-41 axial-lead package and is not a surface-mount device. However, Microsemi offers SMT equivalents including the SMAJ4757A (SMA package) and MLL4757A (SOD-123), both rated for 51 V and 1 W. The 1N4757CP/TR8 itself requires through-hole mounting with 3/8″ lead length for thermal compliance; attempting SMT reflow will damage the device due to mismatched thermal mass and plating.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4757CP/TR8?
The 1N4757CP/TR8 is rated for a maximum surge current (ISM) of 2000 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating applies only to short-duration transients and assumes proper heat sinking via leads. Continuous operation above 1500 mA (IZM) at TL = 50°C violates steady-state thermal limits and may cause premature failure of the 1N4757CP/TR8.
Does the 1N4757CP/TR8 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4757CP/TR8 is RoHS-compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its full manufacturer designation (1N4757CP/TR8,e3). Its terminals feature annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and the epoxy body meets UL94V-0 flammability standards. No lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances exceed EU Directive 2011/65/EU thresholds in the 1N4757CP/TR8.
How does thermal resistance affect the 1N4757CP/TR8's power derating?
The 1N4757CP/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length. At ambient temperatures above 25°C, power must be linearly derated: for example, at TL = 75°C, max power drops to 0.5 W. Mounting on FR4 with 4 mm² copper pads raises junction-to-ambient resistance to 105°C/W, further limiting usable power. Proper heatsinking of leads is essential to sustain full 1 W operation in the 1N4757CP/TR8.
