# 1N4742

**LGE** · Zener Diodes · DO-41

1N4742 from LGE, in a DO-41. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K | passive | Cathode, the end marked with the band; the 1N4742 regulates at a nominal 12 V at IZT=21 mA when this pin is reverse-biased positive, with 1.0 W maximum power dissipation. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode, the end without the band; forward voltage is 1.2 V maximum at IF=200 mA. |
