Product details
Overview
1N4734E3/TR13 from Microsemi is a 5.6 V, ±5% tolerance, 1 W silicon Zener diode in DO-41 plastic package, rated for 45 mA test current (IZT), 5 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and 162 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 50°C. It provides stable voltage regulation in power supply reference and overvoltage protection circuits across industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4734E3/TR13 datasheet, 1N4734E3/TR13 pinout, 1N4734E3/TR13 application, or 1N4734E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (45 °C/W junction-to-lead), surge current rating (810 mA), RoHS compliance (e3 suffix), and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 5.6 V reference across a wide current range (1–162 mA). Its 5 Ω dynamic impedance at 45 mA ensures low output variation under load transients, while its 45 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance supports reliable operation with minimal heatsinking.
The 1N4734E3/TR13 features a cathode band marking, tin-plated axial leads compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020B-eliminating dry-pack requirements. It is rated for -65°C to +150°C operating temperature and withstands 260°C soldering for 10 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V ±5% at 45 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W at 25°C lead temperature - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before derating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 5 Ω at IZT = 45 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 162 mA at TA = 50°C - establishes upper limit for sustained Zener conduction without thermal failure |
| Thermal Resistance | 45 °C/W junction-to-lead (3/8″ lead length) - enables thermal design with simple lead heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage | 10 μA max at VR = 4.2 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (ISM) | 810 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without degradation |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 (DO-204AL) plastic axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by colored band; leads are tin-plated, solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node during regulation; carries full Zener current when cathode is biased positive |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulation output | Banded end; connected to regulated voltage rail; must be held positive relative to anode to activate Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RoHS-compliant "e3" termination | Matte-tin plating replaces Sn/Pb, enabling lead-free assembly without requalification |
| Tape-and-reel packaging ("TR13") | Standard EIA-296 format supports automated SMT placement despite axial-leaded form factor |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No dry-pack or baking required prior to assembly-reduces handling cost and process risk |
| Nonsensitive to ESD | Qualified per MIL-STD-750 Method 1020-no special ESD handling needed in production |
| Plastic encapsulation (P suffix) | Lower thermal resistance vs. glass-body variants-improves power handling in compact layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | No "e3" RoHS suffix; Sn/Pb terminations; same electrical specs and DO-41 package | Not suitable for lead-free assembly; requires Pb-based solder process | Select only if legacy Pb-process compatibility is required and RoHS exemption applies |
| MMSZ4704T1G | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; 5.6 V ±5%; 500 mW rating; 10 Ω ZZT at 20 mA | Lower power and higher impedance limit use in high-current or precision reference roles | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 1 W dissipation is not required and layout allows SMT placement |
Compared with 1N4734A and MMSZ4704T1G, the 1N4734E3/TR13 uniquely combines RoHS compliance, 1 W power rating, low 5 Ω impedance, and tape-and-reel readiness-making it optimal for industrial-grade through-hole designs requiring regulatory compliance and robust transient handling.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N4734E3/TR13?
The 1N4734E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed by the "A" suffix in its base part number (1N4734A) and documented in Microsemi's official datasheet revision C. This tolerance applies at 45 mA test current and 25°C lead temperature. The "e3" and "TR13" suffixes denote RoHS-compliant terminations and tape-and-reel packaging, respectively, and do not affect voltage specification.
Does the 1N4734E3/TR13 require dry packing before PCB assembly?
No, the 1N4734E3/TR13 does not require dry packing. It is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020B, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without desiccant or baking. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risks during reflow and reduces handling overhead in manufacturing-confirmed in Microsemi's datasheet under "Mechanical and Packaging".
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1N4734E3/TR13?
The 1N4734E3/TR13 is rated for 1.0 W steady-state power dissipation at a lead temperature (TL) below 105°C with 3/8″ (10 mm) lead length from the body, or at ambient temperature (TA) below 45°C when mounted on an FR4 board with specified copper pads. Derating is required above these temperatures, per the power derating curve in Figure 1 of the official datasheet.
Can the 1N4734E3/TR13 be used in lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the 1N4734E3/TR13 is qualified for lead-free soldering: its "e3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant matte-tin terminations, and it is rated for 260°C for 10 seconds-fully compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles. The device meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability, ensuring reliable wetting and joint integrity without Sn/Pb alloy dependency.
What does the "TR13" suffix indicate in 1N4734E3/TR13?
"TR13" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-296 standard, with 13-inch reels. This format enables automated pick-and-place insertion for through-hole assembly lines-even though the DO-41 package is axial-leaded. The "TR" suffix is additive to the base part number and does not alter electrical or thermal specifications of the 1N4734E3/TR13.
