Product details
Overview
1N4734A,133 from Nexperia is a 5.6 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation and 45 mA test current, used for low-voltage stabilization in linear power supplies and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4734A,133 datasheet, 1N4734A,133 pinout, 1N4734A,133 application, or 1N4734A,133 equivalent, this part serves as a precision shunt voltage reference with 5 Ω typical differential resistance, stable operation up to +200 °C junction temperature, and axial-leaded through-hole mounting compatibility.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 5.6 V output across varying load currents, with specified test current of 45 mA and maximum reverse current of 10 µA at 3.36 V. Its thermal resistance from junction to tie-point is 110 K/W with 4 mm lead length.
The device exhibits 1.2 V forward voltage at 200 mA and supports non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 810 mA. It is designed for DC voltage regulation where low-cost, proven reliability, and axial-leaded mechanical robustness are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V nominal ±5 % - defines regulated output voltage under 45 mA test current |
| Power dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW max - sets maximum continuous thermal load at Tamb = 50 °C |
| Differential resistance (rdif) | 5 Ω typical at IZ = 45 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse current (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 3.36 V - ensures low leakage below knee voltage |
| Forward voltage (VF) | ≤1.2 V at IF = 200 mA - defines conduction loss in forward-biased protection paths |
| Junction temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +200 °C - enables operation in extended industrial and automotive ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) axial-glass package with 2 leads; cathode identified by a colored band on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased during Zener operation |
| 2 (non-banded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or harsh environments |
| ±5 % voltage tolerance | Enables predictable regulation without post-manufacture trimming in cost-sensitive designs |
| 1000 mW power rating | Supports >100 mA load current capability when combined with appropriate series resistor |

Applications
| Low-Voltage Power Supply Regulation | Reference Voltage Source |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing unregulated 9 V DC input to fixed 5.6 V for analog sensor biasing in industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage regulator providing passive feedback-controlled output voltage. Use Value: Maintains 5.6 V ±0.28 V across 5–40 mA load variations without active circuitry. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-biased Zener acting as voltage-limited sink during fault conditions. Use Value: Activates at 5.6 V with <10 µA leakage below 3.36 V, ensuring minimal signal distortion during normal operation. |
Use Scenario: Shifting TTL logic high level (2.4–5 V) to match 5.6 V interface threshold in mixed-voltage systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forward-biased diode drop adder in level-shifting networks. Use Value: Provides consistent ~1.2 V forward drop at 200 mA, enabling predictable offset addition without active components. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 5.6 V ±5 % rating, 1000 mW Ptot, but 7 Ω rdif vs. Nexperia's 5 Ω | Higher dynamic impedance may reduce regulation accuracy under fast load transients | Select when sourcing from ON Semi distribution channels; verify layout thermal relief for equivalent derating |
| BZX55-C5V6 (Vishay) | 5.6 V ±5 %, 500 mW Ptot, 10 Ω rdif, DO-35 package (smaller glass body) | Lower power rating limits use to ≤50 mA loads; smaller footprint suits space-constrained PCBs | Choose for compact designs with lower power demands; confirm thermal margin with reduced surface area |
Compared with 1N4734A,133, the ON Semiconductor variant offers identical voltage spec but higher impedance, while the Vishay BZX55-C5V6 trades power capacity and regulation precision for board space savings-selection depends on thermal budget, load stability requirements, and physical layout constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the 1N4734A,133 can handle at its rated Zener voltage?
The 1N4734A,133 is rated for a working current (IZ) of 2 mA minimum and 162 mA maximum at 5.6 V, with non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 810 mA. Continuous operation should remain within the 1000 mW power limit, corresponding to ≤178 mA at 5.6 V under ideal thermal conditions.
How does the 5 Ω differential resistance affect regulation accuracy in a shunt configuration?
A 5 Ω rdif means a 10 mA change in Zener current produces only a 50 mV shift in output voltage. In a typical shunt regulator with 10–100 mA load variation, this yields <0.5 % output deviation-enabling stable biasing for precision analog stages without additional error correction.
Can the 1N4734A,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the 1N4734A,133 uses an axial-leaded SOD66 (DO-41) glass package intended for through-hole mounting. It lacks solder pads or land patterns for reflow assembly. For SMT equivalents, consider Nexperia's BZX384-B5V6 (SOT-23) or PZM5.6NB (SOD-123), which differ in power rating and thermal behavior.
What is the significance of the "133" suffix in the full part number 1N4734A,133?
The "133" is Nexperia's internal packaging and reel code indicating bulk packaging in ammo-pack format per JEDEC standard J-STD-020, with tape-and-reel option available under alternate ordering codes. It does not affect electrical specifications or reliability grading.
