Product details
Overview
ZPY75-TR from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar power Zener diode rated for 75 V nominal Zener voltage (70–79 V range), 10 mA test current, 1300 mW power dissipation, and 13 Ω dynamic resistance at 1 kHz. It operates with a +8 × 10⁻⁴/°C temperature coefficient and is used in high-stability voltage reference and overvoltage clipping circuits in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ZPY75-TR datasheet, ZPY75-TR pinout, ZPY75-TR application, or ZPY75-TR equivalent, key selection considerations include its DO-41 package thermal resistance (110 K/W), admissible Zener current up to 160 mA, and compliance with E12 voltage grading for precision stabilization across ambient temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device, operating in reverse breakdown with tightly controlled VZ tolerance (±6.7% at 75 V) and low dynamic impedance. Its single-diode configuration supports DC stabilization and transient voltage clamping without external biasing.
Designed for operation under pulsed conditions (tp = 10 ms) with leads held at ambient temperature 4 mm from case, it maintains stable regulation up to Tj = 175 °C and meets MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 70–79 V range, nominal 75 V - defines precise DC reference or clamping threshold in regulated power rails |
| Test Current (IZT) | 10 mA - standard condition for specifying VZ; ensures measurement repeatability and datasheet comparability |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1300 mW - maximum steady-state power handling at Tamb = 25 °C with 4 mm lead length cooling |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 13 Ω at 1 kHz - indicates low AC impedance for effective ripple suppression in feedback loops |
| Temperature Coefficient (TCVZ) | +8 × 10⁻⁴/°C - positive drift enables predictable compensation in temperature-varying circuits |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 110 K/W - determines allowable power derating above 25 °C ambient; critical for thermal design margin |
| Admissible Zener Current (IZ) | 70 mA (max), <160 mA pulse - sets safe continuous and transient current limits for reliability |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 (DO-204AL), axial-leaded, epoxy-molded, UL 94 V-0 compliant, ~310 mg weight. Cathode identified by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / regulated output node | Banded end; carries regulated voltage relative to anode; must be biased above anode by ≥VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silicon planar construction | Ensures tight VZ tolerance and long-term stability vs. alloy-junction alternatives |
| E12-standard voltage grading | Enables interoperability with standardized resistor/capacitor networks in analog control systems |
| 1300 mW power rating | Supports direct shunt regulation in 5–10 W auxiliary supplies without heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4745A-T | 75 V nominal, 1000 mW Ptot, 15 Ω ZZ, DO-41, ±5% tolerance | Lower power rating limits use in high-current clamping; tighter tolerance suits precision references | Prefer when board space allows same DO-41 footprint but lower thermal load is expected |
| BZX85C75 | 75 V nominal, 1300 mW Ptot, 20 Ω ZZ, DO-41, ±5% tolerance, higher TCVZ (+10 × 10⁻⁴/°C) | Higher dynamic resistance reduces ripple rejection; elevated TCVZ increases drift in wide-temp designs | Acceptable where cost is prioritized over thermal stability and AC performance |
Compared with 1N4745A-T and BZX85C75, ZPY75-TR delivers superior thermal robustness (1300 mW vs. 1000 mW), lower dynamic impedance (13 Ω vs. ≥15 Ω), and optimized temperature coefficient for industrial ambient ranges - making it preferred for high-reliability power rail stabilization.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for ZPY75-TR?
The ZPY75-TR has a specified Zener voltage range of 70 V to 79 V at 10 mA test current, corresponding to a ±6.7% tolerance around the nominal 75 V value. This tolerance is verified per the Vishay datasheet Rev. 2.4 (Document Number: 85790) and reflects manufacturing spread under standard test conditions. The ZPY75-TR maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Can ZPY75-TR be used in surface-mount designs?
No, ZPY75-TR uses the through-hole DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial package and is not compatible with SMT assembly processes. It requires hole mounting and wave or selective soldering. For surface-mount equivalents, consider Vishay's SMAZ75 or similar SOD-123 packages - but note these differ in power rating, thermal resistance, and ZZ. The ZPY75-TR itself is strictly a leaded device.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ZPY75-TR?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for ZPY75-TR is 175 °C, as defined in the Vishay Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond this limit risks irreversible degradation of the silicon junction. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the Ptot vs. Tamb curve (Fig. 1), and thermal design must ensure RthJA = 110 K/W is respected with proper lead length and PCB copper area.
Does ZPY75-TR meet RoHS and REACH requirements?
Yes, ZPY75-TR complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed in Vishay's material declarations (Document Number: 99912). The device uses lead-free terminations and UL 94 V-0 molding compound. Compliance status is maintained across all manufacturing lots, and full substance disclosure is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
How does the temperature coefficient affect ZPY75-TR in real-world circuits?
ZPY75-TR exhibits a +8 × 10⁻⁴/°C temperature coefficient, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 60 mV per 10 °C rise in junction temperature. In a 48 V system with 75 V clamping, this results in ~0.08 V/°C drift - critical for designs operating from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient. Engineers must account for this in overvoltage margin calculations, especially where self-heating exceeds 20 °C rise. The ZPY75-TR's predictable TCVZ enables accurate thermal compensation.
