1N4742A_S00Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The 1N4742A_S00Z is a Zener diode rated at 12 V nominal voltage with 1 W maximum power dissipation, housed in a DO-41 through-hole package. Manufactured by onsemi, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications is essential for design continuity and procurement planning. Substitute parts must maintain the same voltage regulation characteristics, power rating, and package configuration to ensure direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 1N4742A from Lumimax be used as a direct replacement for the onsemi 1N4742A_S00Z?
A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications including 12 V zener voltage, 1 W power rating, ±5% tolerance, 9 Ohms maximum impedance, and 5 µA reverse leakage current. The DO-41 through-hole package configuration is equivalent, permitting direct substitution without circuit redesign.
Q: What is the primary reason for seeking a substitute for the 1N4742A_S00Z?
A: The onsemi 1N4742A_S00Z is classified as obsolete. The Lumimax 1N4742A maintains active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.
Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?
A: The Lumimax 1N4742A carries RoHS Compliance certification. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution compatibility.
Q: Does the DO-41G package designation for the Lumimax part differ functionally from the DO-41 package of the onsemi part?
A: No. The DO-41G designation indicates the supplier device package format but represents the same DO-204AL, DO-41 axial package family. Physical dimensions and pin configuration are equivalent, enabling direct board-level replacement.
Q: What operating temperature range is supported by the substitute part?
A: The Lumimax 1N4742A operates across -65°C to 200°C, matching the onsemi original specification. This range covers both industrial and high-temperature applications without thermal derating.
Q: Is the 5% voltage tolerance maintained in the substitute part?
A: Yes. The Lumimax 1N4742A maintains ±5% zener voltage tolerance, identical to the original onsemi component. Voltage regulation accuracy is preserved across the specified operating range.
