1N4742ATR

onsemi · Zener Diodes · DO-41

1N4742ATR from onsemi, 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 of the DO-41 glass case marked by the color band; for the 1N4742A 12 V zener (VZ 11.4 to 12.6 V at IZ = 21 mA) this is the terminal that goes positive in reverse breakdown.
2 A passive Anode, the unbanded end of the DO-41 glass case; the 1N4742A is rated 1.0 W at TL ≤ 50°C with 3/8 inch lead length.
