Product details
Overview
1N4733AURE3/TR from Microsemi is a surface-mount 1.0 W glass Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 5.1 V, ±5% tolerance (A suffix), 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 49 mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 10 μA at 1 V. It operates from –65 °C to +175 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, reference circuits, and overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4733AURE3/TR datasheet, 1N4733AURE3/TR pinout, 1N4733AURE3/TR application, or 1N4733AURE3/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (130 °C/W on FR4), surge current rating (890 mA), low capacitance, and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-junction Zener breakdown mechanism in a hermetically sealed DO-213AB glass MELF package. Its regulation behavior is defined by sharp knee impedance (7 Ω at IZT = 49 mA) and stable Zener voltage across –65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
It delivers 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at TC < 125 °C or TA < 45 °C on FR4 with recommended pad layout, and supports solder reflow up to 260 °C for 10 s. Forward voltage is ≤1.2 V at 200 mA.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A-T | Same 5.1 V ±5%, DO-41 through-hole package; higher thermal resistance (50 °C/W junction-to-end-cap vs. 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient) | Requires axial-leaded PCB layout and manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher peak power handling (via heatsinked end cap) is required |
| SMAJ4733A | Same electrical specs but in SMA package; 1.5× larger footprint, lower surge rating (500 mA vs. 890 mA), same 1 W rating | Less effective for high-energy transients; requires larger board area and different reflow profile due to plastic body | Select only if SMA footprint compatibility is mandatory and surge margin is not critical |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4733AURE3/TR?
The 1N4733AURE3/TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with ±5% tolerance, indicated by the "A" suffix per Microsemi documentation. This tolerance is verified at 30 °C with 90-second stabilization after DC current application and applies across the full operating temperature range of –65 °C to +175 °C.
Is the 1N4733AURE3/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4733AURE3/TR is RoHS compliant, confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its part number and Microsemi's specification stating RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. It meets lead-free soldering requirements with a 260 °C/10 s reflow profile.
What package type does the 1N4733AURE3/TR use?
The 1N4733AURE3/TR uses the DO-213AB glass MELF package - a hermetically sealed, cylindrical, leadless surface-mount outline with cathode band marking. Its dimensions are length 2.39–2.66 mm and diameter 4.80–5.20 mm, optimized for high-density placement and low parasitic inductance.
How much surge current can the 1N4733AURE3/TR withstand?
The 1N4733AURE3/TR withstands a maximum surge current of 890 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects its capability to absorb transient overvoltage events without degradation.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1N4733AURE3/TR on FR4 PCB?
The 1N4733AURE3/TR has a thermal resistance of 130 °C/W junction-to-ambient when mounted on FR4 with 1 oz copper and Microsemi's recommended footprint. This value governs power derating above 45 °C ambient and informs minimum copper pour area needed for sustained 1.0 W operation.
