Product details
Overview
1N4734CE3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5.6 V, ±2% tolerance, 1 W axial-lead silicon Zener diode in DO-41 package, rated for 45 mA test current and 162 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4734CE3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4734CE3/TR13 pinout, 1N4734CE3/TR13 application, or 1N4734CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (810 mA), RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and JEDEC-registered plastic construction with e3 suffix.
Technical Context
The 1N4734CE3/TR13 operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference diode with sharp breakdown knee, specified at 45 mA test current and 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage. Its ±2% tolerance (C suffix) and 162 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT support stable regulation across load and temperature variations.
Designed for through-hole mounting on FR4 PCBs, it delivers 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at lead temperature <105 °C (3/8″ from body) or ambient <45 °C, with thermal resistance of 105 °C/W junction-to-ambient under defined copper pad conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V ±2% - precise reference for feedback loops and clamp thresholds |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at TL < 105 °C - defines maximum continuous thermal load in lead-mounted configuration |
| Test Current (IZT) | 45 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed per JEDEC spec |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω max at IZT - low AC resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under ripple current |
| Max Reverse Current (IR) | 10 μA at 4.2 V - confirms tight leakage control below knee voltage for low-power standby regulation |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 810 mA - withstands transient overloads such as ESD or line surges without degradation |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package with cathode band marking; terminals are non-polarized leads - cathode identified by single black band, operated with banded end positive relative to anode for Zener regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse bias applied between cathode and anode to enable regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation output node | Banded end; connected to regulated voltage rail; must be held at higher potential than anode during operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance (C suffix) | Enables tighter feedback loop accuracy in adjustable regulators and precision references without trimming |
| RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating (e3 suffix) | Ensures solderability and long-term reliability under lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C for 10 s |
| Moisture sensitivity Level 1 (J-STD-020B) | Eliminates dry-pack requirement and bake-out prior to assembly, reducing manufacturing overhead |
| Nonsensitive to ESD (MIL-STD-750 Method 1020) | Permits handling in standard workstations without special static control beyond basic grounding |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Provides 30% lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body equivalents, improving power derating margin |
Applications

Use Value: –65 °C to +150 °C operating range allows calibration stability across instrument storage and field-use temperatures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | Same 5.6 V, ±5% tolerance (A suffix), non-RoHS tin-lead plating | Acceptable where Pb-free compliance is not required and looser tolerance is acceptable | Select 1N4734A only if legacy Pb-based assembly is used and ±5% regulation error is within system budget |
| BZX55C5V6 | 5.6 V ±5%, DO-35 package, 500 mW rating, higher ZZT (10 Ω) | Lower power capability limits use to sub-300 mA regulation loads; smaller footprint but reduced thermal margin | Choose BZX55C5V6 only for space-constrained low-power designs where 500 mW suffices and DO-35 fits layout |
Compared with 1N4734A and BZX55C5V6, the 1N4734CE3/TR13 offers superior tolerance (±2% vs. ±5%), full 1 W power handling, and RoHS compliance-making it optimal for new industrial designs requiring precision, thermal robustness, and environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4734CE3/TR13?
The 1N4734CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number. This tolerance applies to the nominal 5.6 V Zener voltage at 45 mA test current and 25 °C lead temperature. The tighter tolerance enables higher accuracy in voltage reference and feedback applications compared to standard ±5% variants like the 1N4734A.
Is the 1N4734CE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4734CE3/TR13 is RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "e3" suffix in its part number. It features annealed matte-tin plating on its axial leads and meets exemption requirements for lead-free assembly processes, including compatibility with peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds.
What package type does the 1N4734CE3/TR13 use?
The 1N4734CE3/TR13 uses the DO-41 (JEDEC DO-204AL) plastic axial-lead package. It measures approximately 2.7 mm diameter × 5.2 mm length, with tinned leads extending 25 mm from the body. The cathode is marked by a single black band, and polarity must be observed during PCB placement for proper Zener operation.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the 1N4734CE3/TR13?
The 1N4734CE3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive surge current (ISM) rating of 810 mA, measured using a ½ sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient. This rating supports transient suppression in power rails and interface lines without permanent degradation when used within specified thermal limits.
How does the thermal resistance of the 1N4734CE3/TR13 compare to glass-body Zeners?
The 1N4734CE3/TR13 exhibits 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance at 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length - approximately 30% lower than equivalent glass-body (G-suffix) versions. This improved thermal performance allows higher sustained power dissipation in lead-mounted configurations and reduces risk of thermal runaway in compact layouts.
