Product details
Overview
1N4757PE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 51 V, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package with ±5% voltage tolerance, 5 mA test current, and 95 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4757PE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4757PE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4757PE3/TR12 application, or 1N4757PE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (1500 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable 51 V output across a wide current range (5 mA to 90 mA), with low knee impedance (18 Ω at 0.25 mA) ensuring sharp regulation onset. Its DO-41 axial-leaded plastic package provides moisture sensitivity Level 1 compliance and eliminates dry-pack requirements.
Designed for operation from –65 °C to +150 °C, the 1N4757PE3/TR12 delivers 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature <105 °C (3/8″ from body) or ambient <45 °C on FR4 board, with forward voltage ≤1.2 V at 200 mA for bidirectional circuit verification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±5% at 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance suitable for reference design |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load under lead-heatsink conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance | 95 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Max Reverse Current | 5 μA at VR = 38.8 V - confirms low leakage below regulation threshold |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 1500 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design using lead as heatsink path |
| Operating Temp | –65 °C to +150 °C - validated for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4757PE3/TR12?
The 1N4757PE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This means its nominal 51 V regulation point falls between 48.45 V and 53.55 V at 5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The tolerance is guaranteed per Microsemi's registered 1N47xxA series specifications and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does the 1N4757PE3/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4757PE3/TR12 does not require dry packing. It is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored and assembled indefinitely at standard factory humidity without baking. This is confirmed in Microsemi's official datasheet and results from its void-free thermosetting epoxy DO-41 package construction.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4757PE3/TR12?
The 1N4757PE3/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 enables reliable clamping of short-duration overvoltage transients in industrial and telecom power rails without permanent degradation of the Zener characteristic.
Can the 1N4757PE3/TR12 be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4757PE3/TR12 is an axial-leaded DO-41 package and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4757A and MLL4757A families. These share the same 51 V Zener voltage and ±5% tolerance but use SMA or MELF packages with different thermal and mechanical characteristics.
What does the "TR12" suffix indicate in 1N4757PE3/TR12?
"TR12" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 12,000 units per reel. This format supports automated pick-and-place assembly and is distinct from bulk or ammo-pack options. The "e3" portion confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, while "P" denotes plastic (DO-41) construction versus glass-body alternatives.
