Product details
Overview
1N4733PE3/TR8 from Microsemi is a 5.1 V, ±5% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead 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, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4733PE3/TR8 datasheet, 1N4733PE3/TR8 pinout, 1N4733PE3/TR8 application, or 1N4733PE3/TR8 equivalent, key selection factors include its 5.1 V nominal Zener voltage, 1 W steady-state dissipation at TL < 105°C, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, tape-and-reel packaging (TR8), and JEDEC-registered 1N4733A-series compliance with MIL-PRF-19500 screening options.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 7 Ω dynamic impedance at 49 mA ensures low regulation error under moderate current variation, while the 10 µA reverse leakage at 3.8 V supports low-power standby operation.
The device features a thermal resistance of 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8" lead length) and 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient on FR4 board, enabling reliable operation from –65 °C to +150 °C. Its cathode band marking and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant terminations ensure unambiguous polarity and solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.1 V ±5% at 49 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105°C - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating on leaded PCB mount |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 7 Ω at IZT = 49 mA - determines output voltage deviation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 10 µA max at VR = 3.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in low-power shutdown modes |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - confirms standard silicon diode conduction behavior for bidirectional protection use |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial control enclosures |
| Package | DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic - provides moisture-insensitive Level 1 IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B handling without dry pack |
Pinout & Package

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; tin-lead terminations only; same VZ, ZZT, IZM, and DO-41 package | Not suitable for RoHS-compliant production; requires Pb-containing solder process | Select when legacy Pb-based assembly is mandated and environmental compliance is not required |
| MMSZ4702T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 5.1 V ±5%; 250 mW rating; 10 Ω ZZT; 100 nA leakage at 3.8 V | Lower power handling and smaller footprint; unsuitable for 1 W continuous dissipation | Select for space-constrained designs where 250 mW regulation suffices and reflow compatibility is prioritized |
Compared with 1N4733A and MMSZ4702T1G, the 1N4733PE3/TR8 uniquely combines full 1 W dissipation, RoHS compliance, tape-and-reel automation support, and JEDEC-standardized parameters-making it optimal for high-reliability industrial power supplies requiring long-term component continuity.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4733PE3/TR8?
The 1N4733PE3/TR8 has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.1 V with a ±5% tolerance, consistent with the "A" suffix in the JEDEC 1N4733A designation. This tolerance is verified at 49 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature, ensuring predictable regulation performance across production lots and operating conditions.
Does the 1N4733PE3/TR8 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the "e3" suffix in 1N4733PE3/TR8 explicitly denotes RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS II. The device uses annealed matte-tin plating on leads and void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, with full material declarations available through Microchip's component database.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4733PE3/TR8?
The 1N4733PE3/TR8 has a maximum surge current (ISM) of 730 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating enables reliable transient suppression in 5 V rail protection applications without thermal runaway.
Can the 1N4733PE3/TR8 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N4733PE3/TR8 is an axial-leaded DO-41 device and is not designed for direct SMT placement. However, Microsemi offers surface-mount equivalents such as SMAJ4733A and MLL4733A; the "TR8" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging optimized for automated axial insertion equipment, not reflow soldering.
What is the thermal resistance of the 1N4733PE3/TR8 when mounted on a PCB?
When mounted on an FR4 board with 1 oz copper, 4 mm² pads, and 1 mm × 25 mm traces, the 1N4733PE3/TR8 exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 105 °C/W. This value informs heatsinking requirements and maximum allowable ambient temperature for sustained 1 W operation.
