Product details
Overview
1N4733E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5.1 V, ±5% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 49 mA test current, 7 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 10 µA reverse leakage at 3.8 V. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4733E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4733E3/TR13 pinout, 1N4733E3/TR13 application, or 1N4733E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (890 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 5.1 V reference across a wide current range (0.25–49 mA). Its 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 49 mA ensures low output variation under load transients, while its -65 °C to +150 °C operating range supports harsh-environment deployment.
The device uses a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0) with axial leads, cathode band polarity marking, and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. Thermal performance is specified at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length (45 °C/W) and on FR4 board (105 °C/W), enabling accurate power derating in PCB-level thermal design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1 V ±5% at 49 mA - defines nominal regulation point with bounded error for precision reference use |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - sets maximum steady-state thermal load with defined lead temperature limit |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω at IZT = 49 mA - determines output voltage change per mA of load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 10 µA max at VR = 3.8 V - specifies minimum off-state conduction before breakdown onset |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 890 mA peak (½-sine, 1/120 s) - defines transient overvoltage handling capability without damage |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables direct calculation of junction temperature rise under DC bias |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at 200 mA - constrains forward-conduction loss in clamp or dual-direction protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by color band; body diameter 2.0–2.7 mm, overall length 4.5–5.5 mm, lead diameter 0.4–0.6 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node in Zener configuration | Connected to circuit common; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential |
| Cathode | Regulated output node in Zener configuration | Banded end; held at stable 5.1 V above anode when reverse current ≥ IZK (1 mA min) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant "e3" suffix | Matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, eliminating lead content without solderability compromise |
| Tape-and-reel packaging | EIA-296 compliant carrier with "TR13" suffix - supports automated SMT placement despite axial form factor |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 | No dry pack required per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B - simplifies handling and eliminates bake-out prior to assembly |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020 - withstands human-body-model discharges without parameter shift or failure |
| Plastic P-suffix construction | Lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body (G-suffix) variants - improves power handling in compact layouts |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb plating; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly processes requiring RoHS compliance | Select 1N4733E3/TR13 when lead-free soldering and tape-and-reel automation are required |
| BZX55-C5V1 | Same 5.1 V ±5%, but 500 mW rating; DO-35 package; higher ZZT (10 Ω) | Lower power handling limits use in >500 mW dissipation scenarios; smaller footprint may constrain heatsinking | Choose BZX55-C5V1 only for space-constrained, low-power (<0.5 W) designs where thermal margin is sufficient |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55-C5V1, the 1N4733E3/TR13 offers full RoHS compliance, 1 W power rating, and EIA-296 tape-and-reel packaging-making it optimal for high-reliability, automated, lead-free production of industrial power management systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4733E3/TR13?
The 1N4733E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in its JEDEC designation. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 4.85 V and 5.36 V when tested at 49 mA and 25 °C lead temperature. The tolerance is guaranteed per JEDEC registration and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does the 1N4733E3/TR13 support lead-free assembly processes?
Yes, the 1N4733E3/TR13 is RoHS-compliant with matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, qualified for lead-free reflow up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its "e3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS compliance, and the device meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B moisture sensitivity Level 1-eliminating dry-pack requirements and enabling direct placement into Pb-free SMT lines.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4733E3/TR13?
The 1N4733E3/TR13 is rated for a peak reverse surge current (ISM) of 890 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without degradation, making it suitable for clamping fast-rising voltage spikes in power rails and I/O protection networks.
How does thermal resistance affect the 1N4733E3/TR13's power derating?
The 1N4733E3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 45 °C/W at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length. At ambient temperatures above 45 °C on FR4 board, power must be linearly derated from 1.0 W to zero at 150 °C. For example, at TA = 75 °C, maximum allowable power drops to 0.75 W-directly calculable using the published derating curve (Figure 1) and thermal model.
Is the 1N4733E3/TR13 compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment?
Yes, the "TR13" suffix indicates EIA-296 standard tape-and-reel packaging, designed for compatibility with industry-standard SMT feeders and pick-and-place machines. Though physically axial-leaded, its reel format enables high-throughput placement in mixed-technology assemblies-particularly valuable for hybrid boards combining through-hole Zeners with surface-mount ICs.
