Product details
Overview
1N4761AUR/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 1.0 W glass-encapsulated Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 75 V, ±5% tolerance, 3.3 mA test current, 175 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 56.0 V. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in high-reliability power supply feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4761AUR/TR datasheet, 1N4761AUR/TR pinout, 1N4761AUR/TR application, or 1N4761AUR/TR equivalent, this part delivers stable 75 V regulation in compact DO-213AB MELF package with hermetic glass sealing, low parasitic capacitance, and radiation-hardened performance per MicroNote 050 - critical for aerospace, industrial control, and medical power systems.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining a stable 75 V reference across its cathode–anode terminals when reverse-biased above its breakdown threshold. Its operation relies on controlled avalanche breakdown in doped silicon, with specified knee impedance (ZZK = 12 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA) ensuring sharp turn-on and low regulation error over temperature.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR4 PCBs with recommended pad layout, it achieves 130 °C/W thermal resistance to ambient and supports steady-state dissipation of 1.0 W below 45 °C ambient or 1.0 W below 125 °C end-cap temperature. The cathode band marking and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating ensure unambiguous polarity and solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V ±5% at 3.3 mA - defines precise regulation setpoint for feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TEC < 125 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB layout |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 175 Ω at IZT = 3.3 mA - determines output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 56.0 V - ensures low leakage in standby or low-power modes |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +175 °C - enables use in extended-environment automotive, downhole, and avionics systems |
| Knee Impedance (ZZK) | 12 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA - guarantees stable regulation onset near minimum bias current |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - defines conduction loss if accidentally forward-biased |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-213AB glass MELF (hermetically sealed, leadless cylindrical surface-mount package, 2.39–2.66 mm diameter × 4.80–5.20 mm length).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential side of circuit; reverse-bias voltage applied here for Zener operation |
| Anode (unbanded end) | Reference/return node | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., ground or feedback divider tap); completes regulation path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass MELF construction | Enables operation up to +175 °C and provides immunity to moisture-induced parameter drift |
| Radiation hardness per MicroNote 050 | Supports deployment in space-grade and nuclear instrumentation without derating |
| Specified knee impedance (12 Ω) | Ensures predictable low-current regulation behavior in low-power bias networks |
| RoHS-compliant option (e3 suffix) | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without sacrificing electrical performance |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Eliminates need for external protection circuitry during handling and assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4761A | Same Zener voltage (75 V), ±5%, but in axial DO-41 package - larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (150 °C/W vs. 130 °C/W) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where SMT is not available | Select only if DO-41 mounting is required; not drop-in compatible with 1N4761AUR/TR footprint |
| SMAJ4761A | Same electrical specs, but in SMA package - plastic body, lower cost, non-hermetic, rated only to +150 °C | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer power supplies where radiation hardness and extreme temperature are not required | Choose for cost-sensitive volume production where hermeticity and >+150 °C operation are unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4761AUR/TR, the 1N4761A requires PCB redesign for axial mounting and offers inferior thermal performance, while SMAJ4761A sacrifices hermetic sealing and high-temperature capability for lower cost and standard plastic packaging - making 1N4761AUR/TR the sole choice for mission-critical, high-temp, radiation-exposed applications.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4761AUR/TR?
The 1N4761AUR/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C and is verified per Microsemi's qualification testing per MIL-PRF-19500 for high-reliability variants.
Can 1N4761AUR/TR be used in place of through-hole 1N4761A?
No - the 1N4761AUR/TR uses a DO-213AB glass MELF surface-mount package, while the 1N4761A uses a DO-41 axial-leaded package. Their footprints, thermal paths, and assembly processes are incompatible. Substitution requires PCB redesign and requalification; 1N4761AUR/TR is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4761A.
What is the maximum surge current rating for 1N4761AUR/TR?
The 1N4761AUR/TR has a maximum surge current (IS) of 2000 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating applies to short-duration transients such as ESD or inductive switching spikes, and must be derated per the power derating curve in Figure 1 when ambient or end-cap temperature exceeds 25 °C.
Is 1N4761AUR/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, and the "e3" designation (as documented in the Microsemi datasheet) confirms RoHS compliance. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements without exemptions, verified via material declarations and analytical testing.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for 1N4761AUR/TR on FR4?
When mounted on an FR4 PCB with 1 oz copper and Microsemi's recommended footprint, the 1N4761AUR/TR exhibits a thermal resistance of 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient. This value assumes proper pad layout per Page 3 of the datasheet and is used to calculate safe operating power limits at elevated ambient temperatures.
