Product details
Overview
1N4759CPE3/TR12 from Microsemi is a 62 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 4.0 mA test current (IZT), 125 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 5 μA reverse leakage at 47.1 V (VR), used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 datasheet, 1N4759CPE3/TR12 pinout, 1N4759CPE3/TR12 application, or 1N4759CPE3/TR12 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (2000 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 62 V nominal Zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5.6 V, with typical TC of +3.5 mV/°C per Figure 3 in the datasheet.
The 1N4759CPE3/TR12 delivers regulated voltage over a broad operating current range (IZK = 0.25 mA to IZM = 70 mA at TA = 50 °C) and temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C), with low knee impedance (14 Ω at IZK) ensuring sharp turn-on characteristics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V ±2% at 4.0 mA - ensures tight regulation accuracy for feedback references requiring <±2.5% total error budget. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - supports continuous operation in compact linear regulator designs with adequate lead heatsinking. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 125 Ω at IZT = 4.0 mA - limits output voltage variation under dynamic load changes; lower than 1N4759A (125 Ω vs. 125 Ω, same value but tighter tolerance improves consistency). |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 47.1 V - minimizes quiescent current loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 2000 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - withstands transient overvoltage events without degradation in protection circuits. |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables thermal design using standard axial-lead mounting without forced airflow. |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments with wide ambient swings. |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by band; terminals are non-polarized for through-hole mounting; body material is UL94V-0 void-free epoxy.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or low-side reference point; reverse voltage applied between cathode and anode to activate regulation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Banded end; connected to unregulated input; supplies stable 62 V to feedback divider or reference load when reverse-biased. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Reduces need for post-production trimming in precision voltage references and analog sensor excitation circuits. |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3 suffix) | Enables lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity without dry-pack requirement. |
| Tape-and-reel packaging (TR12 suffix) | Supports automated SMT placement compatibility despite axial-leaded form factor via carrier tape indexing. |
| Low knee impedance (14 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA) | Ensures stable regulation even at very low bias currents, critical for battery-powered standby circuits. |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Eliminates need for on-board ESD protection during handling and assembly in high-volume manufacturing. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4759A | Same 62 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance (A suffix) and no RoHS compliance (no e3 suffix) | Acceptable where cost-sensitive designs tolerate wider regulation error; not suitable for lead-free assembly. | Select only if RoHS exemption applies and ±5% VZ tolerance meets system spec. |
| MMSZ5259ET1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 62 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 150 Ω ZZT | Used in space-constrained PCBs; lower power rating requires derating above 70 °C ambient. | Choose for high-density layouts where axial leads are impractical; verify thermal margin at target ambient. |
Compared with 1N4759A and MMSZ5259ET1G, the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 offers superior voltage accuracy (±2% vs. ±5%), guaranteed RoHS compliance, and higher surge capability (2000 mA vs. 1000 mA), making it optimal for industrial-grade feedback and protection where long-term stability and process compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4759CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4759CPE3/TR12 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, denoted by the "C" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 62 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 60.76 V and 63.24 V when measured at 4.0 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. This tighter tolerance improves regulation accuracy compared to the ±5% 1N4759A variant and directly supports precision feedback and reference applications where system-level error budgets are constrained.
Does the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 meets RoHS requirements, confirmed by the "e3" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating. It is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020B Level 1 moisture sensitivity, with no dry pack required. The device's UL94V-0 epoxy body and tin-plated terminals ensure full compliance with Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments, making it suitable for export-controlled and environmentally regulated electronics production programs.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4759CPE3/TR12?
The 1N4759CPE3/TR12 has a maximum surge current (ISM) rating of 2000 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient overvoltage energy without permanent degradation, supporting use in clamping circuits exposed to lightning-induced surges or inductive switching spikes. The 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables effective heat dissipation during such short-duration events, preserving long-term reliability in protection applications.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 affect PCB layout?
With a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W (measured at 3/8″ lead length from body), the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 requires minimal copper area for thermal management-unlike surface-mount alternatives needing large thermal pads. Standard axial-lead mounting on FR4 with 1 mm track width and 4 mm² copper pads achieves 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient, allowing operation up to 45 °C ambient at full 1 W dissipation. This simplifies layout for through-hole power supplies and eliminates need for thermal vias or oversized pours.
Can the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 be used in place of the 1N4759A?
The 1N4759CPE3/TR12 can replace the 1N4759A in most applications but offers improved specifications: ±2% vs. ±5% Zener tolerance, RoHS-compliant plating (e3), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR12). Electrically, both share identical 62 V nominal voltage, 4.0 mA IZT, and DO-41 package. However, the 1N4759CPE3/TR12 is not a drop-in replacement in leaded-assembly processes due to its matte-tin finish, and its tighter tolerance may require validation in existing feedback loops calibrated for ±5% variation.
