Product details
Overview
1N4734A-T50R from onsemi is a 5.6 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, rated for 1.0 W power dissipation at TL ≤ 50°C with 6.67 mW/°C derating above 50°C, operating from –65°C to +200°C, and used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4734A-T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (5.6 V), test current (45 mA), dynamic impedance (45 Ω @ IZ), leakage current (10 μA @ VR = 4.5 V), and non-repetitive peak reverse current (810 mA).
Technical Context
The 1N4734A-T50R operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown characteristics, designed for stable voltage reference under DC bias conditions. Its Zener voltage is specified at 45 mA test current with typical dynamic impedance of 45 Ω and knee impedance of 5 Ω at 1 mA.
It exhibits low temperature coefficient near zero crossing (~0.06 %/°C at 5.6 V), supports surge handling up to 810 mA (non-repetitive, 8.3 ms square wave), and maintains leakage current ≤10 μA at 4.5 V reverse bias - enabling reliable operation in unregulated supply rails and feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise clamping/reference level in regulator or protection circuits |
| Test Current (IZ) | 45 mA - standard bias point where VZ and dynamic impedance are guaranteed |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 45 Ω @ IZ - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W @ TL ≤ 50°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling with defined lead temperature |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤10 μA @ VR = 4.5 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +200°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |

Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Reference | Automotive Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stable 5.6 V reference for linear regulators and ADC voltage references in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides fixed reference voltage for feedback loop compensation and analog signal conditioning. Use Value: Tight 5.6 V ±5% tolerance and low 45 Ω dynamic impedance ensure <±10 mV drift across load and temperature in 24 V industrial supplies. | Use Scenario: Biasing thermistor-based coolant temperature sensors in engine control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode establishes stable excitation voltage for ratiometric sensor measurement. Use Value: Leakage ≤10 μA prevents loading error in high-impedance sensor bridges; –65°C to +200°C range matches under-hood thermal requirements. |
| Overvoltage Protection Clamp | Low-Power Voltage Monitor |
Use Scenario: Clamping transient spikes on 5 V microcontroller I/O lines exposed to relay coil back-EMF. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as shunt protector, diverting excess energy to ground during overvoltage events. Use Value: 810 mA non-repetitive peak reverse current handles typical 8.3 ms inductive surges without degradation. | Use Scenario: Simple brown-out detection in battery-powered IoT nodes using comparator threshold set by 5.6 V reference. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode supplies accurate threshold voltage to comparator input. Use Value: Low 10 μA leakage avoids premature discharge of backup capacitors; DO-41 package enables through-hole reliability in field-deployed units. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A-TP (Micro Commercial Co) | Same 5.6 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, DO-41 package, but rated for 1.0 W at TL = 75°C (derates at 8.33 mW/°C) | Higher thermal limit allows marginally higher ambient operation in compact layouts | Select when board-level thermal management exceeds 50°C lead temperature but cannot accommodate heatsinking |
| BZX55-C5V6 (Vishay) | Same 5.6 V, ±5%, DO-35 package; 500 mW rating, 60 Ω ZZ @ 45 mA, 100 nA leakage @ 4.5 V | Lower power rating and smaller DO-35 footprint suit space-constrained PCBs with lower power budgets | Select for miniaturized consumer electronics where 500 mW suffices and DO-41 mechanical robustness is not required |
Compared with 1N4734A-T50R, the 1N4734A-TP offers extended thermal headroom at higher lead temperatures, while BZX55-C5V6 trades power and ruggedness for size and ultra-low leakage - making each suitable for distinct layout, thermal, and reliability constraints.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4734A-T50R?
The 1N4734A-T50R has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 5.6 V rating. This means the actual measured VZ falls between 5.32 V and 5.88 V at 45 mA test current and 25°C ambient. This tolerance is guaranteed per the onsemi datasheet Rev. 8 and applies to all units shipped as 1N4734A-T50R.
Does the 1N4734A-T50R have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, the 1N4734A-T50R exhibits a low and well-characterized temperature coefficient near zero crossing - approximately +0.06 %/°C at 5.6 V. This value is derived from the typical VZ drift curve in the onsemi 1N4728A–1N4758A datasheet and makes the 1N4734A-T50R especially suitable for stable reference applications where minimal thermal drift is critical.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for the 1N4734A-T50R?
The 1N4734A-T50R supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 810 mA under 8.3 ms square-wave surge conditions, as specified in the onsemi datasheet. This rating reflects short-duration transient energy absorption capability and is not intended for repetitive duty cycles - repeated surges require derating or external limiting.
Can the 1N4734A-T50R be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4734A-T50R is packaged in the axial DO-41 glass case and is intended for through-hole mounting only. It does not have a surface-mount variant. For SMT-compatible alternatives with similar electrical specs, consider the MMBZ5232B (SOT-23, 5.6 V, ±5%) or BZX84-C5V6 (SOT-23), both requiring separate validation for thermal and surge performance.
How does the 1N4734A-T50R compare to the 1N4733A in terms of Zener voltage and impedance?
The 1N4734A-T50R has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V (min 5.32 V, max 5.88 V), whereas the 1N4733A is rated at 5.1 V (min 4.845 V, max 5.355 V). At their respective test currents (45 mA for 1N4734A-T50R, 49 mA for 1N4733A), the 1N4734A-T50R shows 45 Ω dynamic impedance versus 49 Ω for the 1N4733A - indicating slightly better regulation stability at 5.6 V.
