Product details
Overview
1N4731A,113 from Nexperia is a 4.3 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation and 58 mA test current, used for low-voltage stabilization in linear power supply feedback paths and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4731A,113 datasheet, 1N4731A,113 pinout, 1N4731A,113 application, or 1N4731A,113 equivalent, this device serves as a precision shunt reference with 9 Ω differential resistance, 10 µA reverse leakage at 1 V, and stable operation up to +200 °C junction temperature in space-constrained analog circuits.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 4.3 V reference across its terminals under regulated current conditions. It exhibits 9 Ω dynamic impedance at 58 mA test current and supports continuous forward conduction up to 500 mA.
Thermal resistance from junction to tie-point is 110 K/W with 4 mm lead length, enabling reliable thermal management in ambient temperatures from −65 °C to +200 °C. Reverse current remains ≤10 µA at 1 V, ensuring low quiescent error in precision bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage VZ | 4.3 V nominal ±5 % - defines precise shunt regulation point for feedback loops |
| Test current Itest | 58 mA - operating point where VZ and dynamic impedance are specified |
| Differential resistance rdif | 9 Ω - low impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse current IR | ≤10 µA at 1 V - guarantees negligible leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Total power dissipation Ptot | 1000 mW - enables use in medium-power regulator stages without forced cooling |
| Junction temperature Tj | −65 °C to +200 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| Forward voltage VF | ≤1.2 V at 200 mA - allows safe forward conduction during transient overvoltage events |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| Linear Power Supply Feedback | Microcontroller Reference Voltage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage of adjustable 3-terminal regulators (e.g., LM317) via resistor divider feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing precise 4.3 V setpoint for error amplifier comparison. Use Value: Enables accurate 5 V or 12 V outputs with <±1 % regulation error over line/load/temperature. |
Use Scenario: Generating stable analog reference for ADC inputs or internal bandgap calibration in MCU systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift DC reference source replacing internal VREF when higher accuracy is required. Use Value: Reduces ADC quantization error by limiting reference variation to <10 mV over −40 °C to +85 °C. |

Use Scenario: Protecting sensitive analog front-end inputs from transient surges exceeding 4.7 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp activated above 4.3 V breakdown threshold. Use Value: Limits peak input voltage to ≤4.7 V with <100 ns response, preventing op-amp saturation or damage. |
Use Scenario: Establishing constant-current bias for LED drivers or transistor amplifiers using two-resistor + Zener topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage node defining base-emitter or gate-source bias potential. Use Value: Delivers ±2 % current stability over 10:1 supply variation due to tight VZ tolerance and low rdif. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4731A-T | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging (vs. bulk/ammopack for ,113) | No functional difference; suited for automated SMT placement instead of manual/hand-soldered assembly | Select when integrating into high-volume PCB assembly with pick-and-place equipment |
| BZX55-C4V3 | 4.3 V ±5 %, but 500 mW rating and 60 Ω dynamic impedance vs. 9 Ω | Lower power handling and higher impedance limit use in precision feedback or high-current clamping | Acceptable only where power stress <500 mW and regulation error budget >±20 mV is permitted |
Compared with 1N4731A,113, the 1N4731A-T offers identical regulation performance with logistics compatibility for automated manufacturing, while BZX55-C4V3 trades off precision and power capacity for lower cost in non-critical biasing roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the 1N4731A,113 can handle without degradation?
The device supports a working current IZ of 58 mA at its nominal 4.3 V Zener voltage, with non-repetitive peak reverse current IZSM rated at 1070 mA. Continuous operation must remain within the 1000 mW power limit, corresponding to ~232 mA at 4.3 V - but derating per thermal resistance (110 K/W) is required above 50 °C ambient.
Can the 1N4731A,113 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the 1N4731A,113 uses the axial-leaded SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, which is designed for through-hole mounting. For surface-mount equivalents, consider Nexperia's BZX384-B4V3 (SOD-323, 4.3 V, 300 mW) or BZX584C4V3 (SOD-523, 4.3 V, 200 mW), both with tighter tolerances but lower power ratings.
How does the 9 Ω differential resistance affect circuit stability in feedback applications?
A 9 Ω dynamic impedance means that a ±10 mA change in shunt current causes only ±90 mV shift in regulated voltage - critical for maintaining loop gain and phase margin in switching or linear regulator feedback networks. This low rdif directly improves load regulation to <0.1 % per 10 mA load step.
Is the 1N4731A,113 suitable for automotive under-hood environments?
Yes - its −65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature rating and hermetic glass construction meet extended-temperature requirements for engine control units and body electronics. However, system-level thermal design must ensure junction temperature stays below 200 °C under worst-case power dissipation and ambient conditions.
