Product details
Overview
1N4730A,113 from Nexperia is a 3.9 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation and 500 mA maximum forward current, used for low-voltage stabilization in linear power supplies and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4730A,113 datasheet, 1N4730A,113 pinout, 1N4730A,113 application, or 1N4730A,113 equivalent, this part serves as a precision shunt voltage reference with 9 Ω typical differential resistance, 64 mA test current, and 50 µA max reverse leakage at rated voltage - critical for analog biasing, overvoltage clamping, and feedback loop referencing.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 3.9 V reference across varying load currents (64 mA test current, 50 mA working current), with thermal resistance of 110 K/W (junction-to-tie-point, 4 mm lead length) and junction temperature range from −65 °C to +200 °C.
It exhibits 1.2 V forward voltage at 200 mA, supports non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 1190 mA, and is characterized under thermal equilibrium conditions per IEC 60134 limiting values - enabling reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to 50 °C at full power.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.9 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - defines precise shunt regulation point for feedback networks |
| Test Current (Itest) | 64 mA - current at which VZ is specified; sets minimum operating current for stable regulation |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 9 Ω typical - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW max - limits continuous power handling in ambient ≤50 °C without derating |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤50 µA at VR = 1 V - ensures low standby leakage in high-impedance reference paths |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.2 V at IF = 200 mA - enables use as low-drop rectifier or clamp in dual-polarity circuits |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed axial-leaded SOD66 (DO-41) glass package with 2 leads; cathode identified by a single black band on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 (non-banded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower potential; completes current path through series resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or industrial environments |
| ±5 % VZ tolerance | Enables direct replacement in cost-sensitive designs without trimming or calibration |
| 1000 mW power rating | Supports higher-current reference applications without external heat sinking |
| Low rdif (9 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load changes in feedback loops |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4730A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 3.9 V ±5 % VZ, but 1.5 W Ptot rating and 10 Ω rdif; DO-41 package identical | Higher power margin allows operation at elevated ambient temperatures without derating | Select when thermal headroom >100 °C or long-term reliability under sustained 800 mW load is required |
| BZX55-C3V9 (Vishay) | 3.9 V ±5 % VZ, 500 mW Ptot, 15 Ω rdif; DO-35 glass package with shorter leads | Lower power rating restricts use to low-current references (<25 mA); smaller footprint | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 3.9 V reference is needed at ≤300 mW dissipation |
Compared with the 1N4730A,113, the ON Semiconductor 1N4730A offers greater thermal robustness for high-power analog references, while the Vishay BZX55-C3V9 trades power capability for compact size - making each suitable for distinct layout and thermal constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1N4730A,113?
The 1N4730A,113 is rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation at an ambient temperature of 50 °C. Derating is required above this temperature at 11.0 mW/°C, based on its 110 K/W thermal resistance from junction to tie-point with 4 mm lead length.
How is polarity identified on the 1N4730A,113 package?
The cathode is marked by a single black band on the glass body; lead adjacent to the banded end is Pin 1 (cathode), and the opposite lead is the anode (Pin 2). This matches the standard DO-41 axial package marking convention defined in Nexperia's data sheet Rev. 02.
Can 1N4730A,113 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - the 1N4730A,113 has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V ±5 % (3.71–4.09 V), not 3.3 V. Substituting it for a 3.3 V part would raise the regulated voltage by ~18 %, potentially damaging downstream circuitry or violating feedback setpoints.
What is the typical differential resistance and why does it matter?
The typical differential resistance is 9 Ω at 64 mA test current. This value quantifies how much the Zener voltage changes per mA of current variation - lower rdif improves regulation accuracy under dynamic loads, especially in feedback and reference applications where stability is critical.
