Product details
Overview
1N4758P/TR12 from Microsemi is a 56 V, ±5% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 4.5 mA test current, 110 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 2000 mA maximum surge current. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference, overvoltage protection, and voltage-clamping circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4758P/TR12 datasheet, 1N4758P/TR12 pinout, 1N4758P/TR12 application, or 1N4758P/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), steady-state power rating at defined lead temperature, reverse leakage at test voltage (5 µA @ 42.6 V), and RoHS-compliant "e3" plating option availability.
Technical Context
The 1N4758P/TR12 operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference device with sharp breakdown knee, characterized by a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V measured at 4.5 mA DC test current and 25 °C lead temperature. Its 110 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT and 16 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA ensure low AC ripple sensitivity and stable regulation under varying load conditions.
Thermal performance is defined by 45 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance at 10 mm lead length and 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board (1 oz Cu, 4 mm² pad). It maintains operation from –65 °C to +150 °C and supports soldering at 260 °C for 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V ±5% at 4.5 mA, TL = 25 °C - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C (3/8″ lead length) - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 110 Ω at IZT = 4.5 mA - determines AC regulation error under varying current |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 5 µA max at VR = 42.6 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 2000 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage suppression without failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design with known lead-length derating |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package with cathode band marking; terminals are unidirectional anode/cathode leads for through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener regulation terminal | Must be held positive relative to anode to achieve reverse breakdown and voltage clamping |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference return path | Serves as circuit ground or common reference node in shunt regulator configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-registered 1 W Zener | Fully compliant with JEDEC 1N47xxA standard for interchangeability and testing consistency |
| Plastic P-suffix construction | Lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body (G-suffix) variants - improves power handling reliability |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - simplifies SMT assembly logistics |
| RoHS-compliant "e3" option | Matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 - ensures solderability and environmental compliance |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - eliminates need for special ESD handling in production |
Applications

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 "P" suffix - glass-body DO-35 package; higher thermal resistance (60 °C/W junction-to-lead) | Limited to lower-power or lower-temperature environments due to reduced thermal performance | Select 1N4758A only if legacy glass-body form factor or MIL-PRF-19500 screening is required |
| MMSZ5259B-TP | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 56 V, ±5%, 500 mW; 100 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Not suitable for 1 W continuous dissipation; requires PCB layout change and thermal pad design | Choose MMSZ5259B-TP only for space-constrained designs where 500 mW rating suffices |
Compared with 1N4758A and MMSZ5259B-TP, the 1N4758P/TR12 delivers superior thermal management via its plastic DO-41 package and full 1 W rating, making it optimal for through-hole power regulation where lead-temperature derating and surge resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4758P/TR12?
The 1N4758P/TR12 has a nominal Zener voltage of 56 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This tolerance is verified at 4.5 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature per Microsemi's published electrical characteristics table. The 1N4758P/TR12 does not offer tighter tolerances (e.g., ±2% or ±1%) - those require C- or D-suffix variants not applicable to this part number.
Does the 1N4758P/TR12 have RoHS-compliant plating?
Yes, the 1N4758P/TR12 uses RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its axial leads, conforming to MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. The "e3" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, though it is omitted in this specific part number - Microsemi confirms that all 1N47xxAP,e3 devices (including 1N4758P/TR12) ship with e3 plating unless otherwise specified per order code.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4758P/TR12?
The 1N4758P/TR12 is rated for a maximum non-repetitive reverse surge current (ISM) of 2000 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in power rails subject to inductive kickback or lightning-induced surges without degradation of the 1N4758P/TR12's Zener characteristics.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4758P/TR12 compare to glass-body variants?
The 1N4758P/TR12 features a plastic DO-41 package with a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 10 mm lead length - significantly lower than the 60 °C/W typical for glass-body 1N4758A (DO-35). This 25% improvement allows the 1N4758P/TR12 to sustain higher continuous power at equivalent lead temperatures, enhancing reliability in thermally constrained layouts.
Is the 1N4758P/TR12 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the 1N4758P/TR12 is an axial-lead DO-41 device intended for through-hole mounting only. It is not compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes used for SMT. For surface-mount equivalents, Microsemi offers the SMAJ4758A and MLL4758A in DO-214AC and SOD-80 packages respectively - neither shares pinout, footprint, or thermal profile with the 1N4758P/TR12.
