Product details
Overview
1N4758AP/TR12 from Microsemi is a 1.0 W, 56 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 4.5 mA test current (IZT), 110 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 2000 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) 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 1N4758AP/TR12 datasheet, 1N4758AP/TR12 pinout, 1N4758AP/TR12 application, or 1N4758AP/TR12 equivalent, key selection factors include its 56 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.0 W power dissipation at TL < 105°C, 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, RoHS-compliant "e3" plating option, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 56 V reference across a wide current range (0.25–2000 mA). Its 110 Ω dynamic impedance at 4.5 mA ensures low voltage variation under load changes, while the DO-41 axial-leaded package supports through-hole mounting with 0.7 g mass and UL94V-0 epoxy body.
Designed for operation from –65°C to +150°C, it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with typical TC near +3.5 mV/°C at 56 V. It meets MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 for ESD insensitivity and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity-no dry pack required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% at IZT = 4.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for reference and clamp applications |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 110 Ω at IZT = 4.5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 2000 mA at TA = 50°C - establishes peak steady-state current capability before thermal runaway |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables accurate thermal design when leads act as heatsinks |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 42.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - defines conduction loss during forward-biased transient events |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package: void-free thermosetting epoxy body (UL94V-0), tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, cathode indicated by band. Mounting requires 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from body for full 1.0 W rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Non-banded end | Connected to lower-potential node; carries forward current or sinks reverse leakage |

| 5% voltage tolerance (A suffix) | Guarantees VZ within ±2.8 V of 56 V across production lot and temperature range |
| Plastic P-suffix construction | Delivers lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body (G-suffix) variants-improves power handling in compact layouts |
| Level 1 moisture sensitivity | Enables immediate PCB assembly without baking or dry-pack storage per J-STD-020B |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" option | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with annealed matte-tin plating, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in linear regulator or switching converter error amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fixed 56 V reference to comparator or op-amp input for output voltage setpoint. Use Value: Maintains ±5% regulation accuracy across 0.25–2000 mA load, enabling tight output tolerance without trimming. | Use Scenario: Protecting downstream circuitry from transient voltage spikes exceeding 56 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunts excess energy to ground when input voltage exceeds Zener breakdown threshold. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to ≤56 V + (IZ × ZZT), with 110 Ω impedance limiting overshoot during fast transients. |
| Bias Network Stabilizer | Temperature-Compensated Reference |
Use Scenario: Setting stable DC bias points for amplifier stages operating over –65°C to +150°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supplies consistent current to transistor bases or op-amp inputs via series resistor. Use Value: Delivers predictable 56 V reference with <5 μA leakage at 42.6 V, minimizing bias drift in high-impedance nodes. | Use Scenario: Combining with negative-TC components (e.g., forward-biased diodes) to achieve near-zero net TC.

Use Value: Enables stable composite reference voltages with <100 ppm/°C drift over industrial temperature range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4758A | No TR12 tape-and-reel packaging; bulk or ammo pack only | Lacks automated placement support; suitable for manual or low-volume prototyping | Select 1N4758A when reel packaging is unnecessary and cost minimization is prioritized |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 56 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; 100 Ω ZZT at 10 mA | Lower power and smaller footprint; not drop-in compatible due to package and thermal profile | Choose MMSZ5256ET1G for space-constrained PCBs where 500 mW suffices and reflow is preferred |
Compared with 1N4758AP/TR12, the 1N4758A lacks tape-and-reel delivery but matches all electrical specs, while MMSZ5256ET1G offers SMT compatibility at half the power rating-requiring layout redesign and thermal reassessment.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4758AP/TR12?
The 1N4758AP/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number per Microsemi's documentation. This means the actual measured VZ at 4.5 mA test current falls between 53.2 V and 58.8 V under standard test conditions (TL = 25°C ±8°C, 90 s after current application). The tolerance remains valid across the full operating temperature range of –65°C to +150°C.
Does 1N4758AP/TR12 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, 1N4758AP/TR12 does not require dry packing prior to assembly. It is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions (<30°C/60% RH) and placed directly onto PCBs without baking. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk and simplifies manufacturing logistics for high-reliability production lines.
What is the maximum continuous current 1N4758AP/TR12 can regulate at room temperature?
At ambient temperature (TA = 25°C), the 1N4758AP/TR12 can regulate up to approximately 1786 mA continuously, calculated from its 1.0 W power rating and 56 V VZ (P = VZ × IZ → IZ = 1.0 W / 56 V ≈ 17.86 mA). However, the datasheet specifies a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 2000 mA at TA = 50°C-indicating thermal derating begins above 25°C, and sustained operation near 2000 mA requires careful board-level thermal management.
How does the thermal resistance of 1N4758AP/TR12 affect PCB layout?
The 1N4758AP/TR12 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W when mounted with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body. To achieve full 1.0 W power dissipation, PCB traces must provide adequate copper area (e.g., 4 mm² pads, 1 mm track width, 25 mm length) to limit junction temperature rise. Shorter leads increase thermal resistance, reducing safe operating current-so layout must preserve specified lead length or add thermal vias and copper pours to compensate.
Is 1N4758AP/TR12 RoHS compliant?
Yes, 1N4758AP/TR12 is RoHS compliant when ordered with the "e3" suffix, indicating annealed matte-tin plating per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The base part number 1N4758AP/TR12 includes this compliance by default per Microsemi's REV C datasheet. It is solderable using standard reflow or wave processes and meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for plating integrity and wetting performance.
