1N4738APF-M

ST(Semtech) · Zener Diodes · DO-41

1N4738APF-M from ST(Semtech), 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, marked by the cathode band on the DO-41 glass case; the Zener diode is reverse-biased with this lead positive (1N4738A nominal Zener voltage 8.2 V at 31 mA).
2 A passive Anode lead of the DO-41 glass case (opposite the cathode band); forward voltage max 1.2 V at IF = 200 mA.
