1N4742A-TR from Vishay Intertech, in a DO-204AL(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 lead at the end marked by the cathode identification band on the DO-41 body; the Zener is operated reverse-biased with this lead positive (VZ 12 V nominal at IZT 21 mA for the 1N4742A). |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode, the lead opposite the cathode band; forward voltage is max. 1.2 V at IF = 200 mA. |
