Product details
Overview
1N4758A-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0 W, 56 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies and reference circuits. It delivers 4.5 mA test current, 110 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and operates across –65°C to +175°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4758A-T datasheet, 1N4758A-T pinout, 1N4758A-T application, or 1N4758A-T equivalent, key selection factors include its 56 V nominal Zener voltage, 1.0 W power rating with 6.67 mW/°C derating above 50°C, thermal resistance of 175 °C/W, and RoHS-compliant Sn96.5Ag3.5 terminations.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage by conducting reverse current when applied voltage exceeds its 56 V breakdown threshold. Its sharp knee and low dynamic impedance (110 Ω at 4.5 mA) ensure tight regulation under varying load conditions.
The device uses a glass-passivated junction in a DO-41 axial package, enabling reliable operation up to 175°C junction temperature. Its 0.25 mA maximum reverse leakage at 42.6 V and 5 µA at rated VR confirm low standby loss and high stability in precision biasing applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DFLZ56-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123FL package; 56 V ±5%; 1.0 W; 100 Ω ZZT; 1 µA IR @ 45.4 V | Designed for automated PCB assembly; lower profile; higher IR rejection | Select for space-constrained, high-volume production where reflow compatibility is required |
| 1N5255B | DO-35 package; 56 V ±5%; 0.5 W; 150 Ω ZZT; 5 µA IR @ 42.6 V | Lower power rating; smaller glass body; higher thermal resistance (300 °C/W) | Select only for low-power signal-level references where 0.5 W suffices and board space is extremely limited |
Compared with DFLZ56-7-F, the 1N4758A-T offers proven through-hole reliability and higher surge current handling (80 mA vs. 50 mA), while 1N5255B trades power capability for footprint reduction-making the 1N4758A-T optimal for legacy designs needing robust 1 W regulation in accessible axial format.

FAQ
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4758A-T?
The 1N4758A-T is rated for 80 mA maximum surge current under an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave condition. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or failure, provided leads are maintained at ≤50°C via proper mounting and thermal relief.
Is 1N4758A-T RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4758A-T features a lead-free Sn96.5Ag3.5 termination and complies with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), including applicable exemptions for glass and high-temperature solder. Full compliance documentation is available in Diodes Incorporated's AP02008 packaging specification and DS18007 datasheet revision notes.
How does thermal derating work for this Zener diode?
The 1N4758A-T derates linearly at 6.67 mW/°C above 50°C ambient, based on a 9.5 mm lead length from case. At 75°C ambient, maximum power drops to 0.83 W; at 125°C, it falls to 0.5 W. Derating assumes leads act as heat sinks-shorter leads increase thermal resistance and reduce allowable dissipation.
Can 1N4758A-T replace 1N4758A-A in a design?
Yes-1N4758A-T and 1N4758A-A share identical electrical and thermal specifications; only packaging differs: tape-and-reel (T) vs. ammo pack (A). Both use DO-41 glass construction and Sn96.5Ag3.5 terminations. No circuit redesign or qualification is needed when switching between these variants.
