Product details
Overview
1N4733G A0G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 W, 5.1 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications with 49 mA test current, 7 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 10 µA leakage at 1 V reverse bias. It serves as a stable shunt regulator in low-power DC/DC converters and LED driver bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4733G A0G datasheet, 1N4733G A0G pinout, 1N4733G A0G application, or 1N4733G A0G equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), power derating above 50 °C, and cathode-band polarity marking for unambiguous PCB orientation.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 5.1 V across its terminals under regulated current conditions. Its 7 Ω Zener impedance at 49 mA ensures low output voltage variation with load changes, while the hermetically sealed glass DO-41 package supports reliable operation up to 200 °C junction temperature.
The device exhibits 10 µA maximum leakage current at 1 V reverse voltage and achieves thermal stability via low RθJL (53.5 °C/W), enabling predictable power dissipation management in compact board layouts without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise clamping/reference level for 5 V rail stabilization |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1 W at 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal shutdown or degradation |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 49 mA - operating point where VZ and impedance are specified; used for design validation |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω at IZT - determines AC ripple rejection and regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 10 µA at 1 V reverse - ensures minimal standby current draw in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temp Range (TJ) | –65 to +200 °C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Package | DO-41 glass - provides hermetic sealing, RoHS compliance, and standard through-hole solderability per J-STD-002 |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 axial-leaded glass package with cathode indicated by a single black band. Leads are pure tin-plated for reliable solder wetting. Device is polarity-sensitive: cathode must connect to higher potential for Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Lower-potential terminal during Zener conduction | Connects to circuit ground or return path; carries full reverse current when regulating |
| Cathode | Higher-potential terminal during Zener conduction | Marked with black band; connects to input/voltage source side of shunt regulator network |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A | Same 5.1 V rating and DO-41 package; ±5% tolerance; slightly higher ZZT (10 Ω vs. 7 Ω) | Marginally reduced ripple rejection in high-frequency regulation loops | Acceptable where tighter impedance is not critical and legacy stock is available |
| BZX55-C5V1 | 5.1 V ±5%, DO-35 package; 10 Ω ZZT; lower PD (500 mW) | Not suitable for 1 W continuous operation; requires derating above 50 °C | Only for low-power signal-level referencing where thermal margin permits |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55-C5V1, the 1N4733G A0G delivers superior thermal robustness (1 W rating, 200 °C TJ), lower dynamic impedance, and verified DO-41 mechanical compatibility-making it preferred for industrial power regulation where reliability under sustained load is essential.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4733G A0G?
The 1N4733G A0G has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a standard tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 4.845 V and 5.355 V at 49 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the Taiwan Semiconductor G2301 datasheet and applies to all units in the 1N4733G A0G production lot.
Can the 1N4733G A0G be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4733G A0G is packaged exclusively in the axial DO-41 through-hole configuration and lacks SMD-compatible variants. Its leads are designed for wave or hand soldering into plated-through holes. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the SMA-based BZX84-C5V1 or SOD-123 packaged MMBZ5222B, but note these differ in power rating, impedance, and thermal performance versus the 1N4733G A0G.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4733G A0G?
The maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N4733G A0G is 10 µA at 1 V reverse voltage (VR), as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured at 25 °C and confirms minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks-critical for battery-operated sensor nodes where the 1N4733G A0G may serve as a reference node.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4733G A0G affect its power derating?
The 1N4733G A0G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W. At 70 °C ambient, its usable power drops to approximately 0.7 W (calculated as (200 – 70) / 100). This derating curve must be applied in enclosed or high-temperature environments to prevent exceeding the 200 °C maximum junction temperature and ensure long-term reliability of the 1N4733G A0G.
Is the 1N4733G A0G RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 1N4733G A0G is RoHS compliant and features lead-free, pure tin-plated leads conforming to J-STD-002 solderability standards. The "G" suffix in the part number denotes green compound encapsulation, and the device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. This compliance is documented in Taiwan Semiconductor's G2301 datasheet revision and verified in third-party material declarations for the 1N4733G A0G.
