Product details
Overview
1N4757PE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 51 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 5.0 mA test current, 95 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.25 A maximum regulator current at TA = 50°C. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and biasing circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4757PE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4757PE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4757PE3/TR8 application, or 1N4757PE3/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 axial-leaded DO-41 mechanical form factor.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 51 V reference across a broad operating current range (IZK = 0.5 mA to IZM = 250 mA). Its 95 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.0 mA ensures low AC ripple sensitivity, while the -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range supports harsh-environment deployment.
The device uses silicon PN-junction construction with void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin terminals solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Thermal resistance is specified as 45°C/W junction-to-lead at 10 mm lead length.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±5% at IZT = 5.0 mA - defines precise DC reference level under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 95 Ω at IZT = 5.0 mA - determines AC voltage variation under changing load current |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 250 mA at TA = 50°C - establishes peak steady-state reverse current capability |
| Thermal Resistance | 45°C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with known lead-length-dependent heat path |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 38.8 V - confirms low off-state conduction below knee voltage |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - specifies forward-bias drop for polarity-check or dual-use applications |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial-leaded plastic package with cathode indicated by colored band; leads are tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; used for forward conduction when required |
| Cathode | Banded end | Connected to higher-potential node during Zener regulation; defines polarity-sensitive mounting orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1N47xxA series | Ensures cross-manufacturer compatibility and standardized electrical/mechanical behavior |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating and lead-free assembly compatibility |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and floor-life constraints for SMT reflow or manual assembly |
| Low thermal resistance (45°C/W) | Enables higher power handling with minimal lead-length dependency versus glass-body alternatives |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Reduces handling precautions and eliminates need for ESD-protected workstations during assembly |
Applications

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 "e3" RoHS suffix; tin-lead plating only; same VZ, IZT, ZZT, and package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; requires Pb-based solder process | Select when legacy tin-lead manufacturing is maintained and RoHS compliance is not required |
| MMBZ5255BS-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 51 V ±5%; 225 mW rating; 100 Ω ZZT at 10 mA | Lower power and smaller footprint; unsuitable for >225 mW continuous dissipation | Select for space-constrained PCBs where thermal budget permits reduced power handling |
Compared with 1N4757A and MMBZ5255BS-7-F, the 1N4757PE3/TR8 delivers full 1 W power capability in an axial-leaded, RoHS-compliant DO-41 package-making it optimal for through-hole power regulation where thermal mass and lead-form flexibility are prioritized over miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4757PE3/TR8?
The 1N4757PE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its base part number (1N4757A). This tolerance applies under standard test conditions: TL = 25°C ±10°C and 90 seconds after DC current application. The "P" denotes plastic DO-41 package, and "e3" confirms RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Can the 1N4757PE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N4757PE3/TR8 is an axial-leaded DO-41 device and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT equivalents, consider Microsemi's MLL4757A (SOD-80) or Diodes Inc.'s MMBZ5255BS-7-F (SOD-123), both rated for 51 V but with lower power ratings. The 1N4757PE3/TR8 requires through-hole placement and wave or hand soldering.
What is the maximum steady-state current the 1N4757PE3/TR8 can regulate continuously?
The 1N4757PE3/TR8 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 250 mA at ambient temperature TA = 50°C when mounted on FR4 board with specified copper area. At higher temperatures or reduced copper, derating applies per Figure 1 in the datasheet. Its 1 W power rating at TL < 105°C further constrains usable current based on thermal path design.
Does the 1N4757PE3/TR8 require moisture preconditioning before reflow?
No-the 1N4757PE3/TR8 is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it has unlimited floor life and no dry-pack or baking is required prior to soldering. This simplifies handling and eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk during reflow, even at peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4757PE3/TR8 compare to glass-body Zeners?
The 1N4757PE3/TR8 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45°C/W at 10 mm lead length-lower than equivalent glass-body (G-suffix) versions due to superior thermal conductivity of its void-free epoxy molding compound. This allows higher power dissipation in the same mechanical footprint and reduces thermal stress on solder joints under sustained load.
