Product details
Overview
1N4747A,133 from Nexperia is a 20 V ±5 % Zener voltage regulator diode in a hermetically sealed SOD66 (DO-41) glass package, rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation and 12.5 mA test current, used for precision low-voltage stabilization in linear power supply feedback paths and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4747A,133 datasheet, 1N4747A,133 pinout, 1N4747A,133 application, or 1N4747A,133 equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, cathode/anode terminal mapping, thermal resistance (110 K/W), differential resistance (22 Ω), and real-world use cases in voltage reference and overvoltage protection designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 20 V reference under regulated current conditions. It exhibits a typical differential resistance of 22 Ω at 12.5 mA test current and supports up to 500 mA forward current with ≤1.2 V forward voltage at 200 mA.
Designed for thermal equilibrium operation in still air at 25 °C, it features a junction-to-tie-point thermal resistance of 110 K/W (lead length 4 mm) and operates across −65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature range, enabling reliable use in industrial ambient environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - ensures stable reference within ±1 V over production lot |
| Test Current (Itest) | 12.5 mA - defined operating point for VZ measurement and regulation accuracy |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 22 Ω - low dynamic impedance improves load regulation and ripple rejection |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in standard PCB layout |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 15.2 V - confirms sharp knee and low leakage below regulation threshold |
| Junction Temperature Range | −65 °C to +200 °C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node in shunt configuration; carries reverse breakdown current |
| 2 (unbanded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or common reference; completes current path during Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents moisture ingress and long-term parameter drift in humid or high-reliability environments |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables direct use in 20 V reference designs without post-production trimming or calibration |
| 110 K/W thermal resistance (j–t) | Allows accurate junction temperature estimation for derating calculations in fixed-ambient layouts |

Applications
| Linear Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in 24 V input/20 V output linear regulators using LM317 or discrete pass transistor topologies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing precise 20 V setpoint for error amplifier comparison. Use Value: Maintains output regulation within ±1 V across line and load variations due to tight 20 V ±5 % tolerance and low rdif. |
Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on 20 V rail in industrial control I/O modules exposed to inductive switching noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive overvoltage clamp absorbing energy above 20 V to protect downstream op-amps and ADCs. Use Value: Limits peak rail voltage to ≤21 V (20 V + 5 %) with <5 µA leakage below clamp threshold, minimizing standby power loss. |
| Low-Power Sensor Biasing | Calibration Reference Source |
Use Scenario: Providing stable excitation voltage for 4–20 mA loop-powered pressure transducers requiring 20 V ±0.5 V bias. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision DC voltage source replacing higher-cost IC references where 1 % absolute accuracy suffices. Use Value: Delivers 20 V reference with <0.2 % drift over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient, validated by 200 °C max Tj rating. |
Use Scenario: Serving as traceable 20 V calibration point in handheld multimeter front-end circuitry during factory adjustment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable, repeatable voltage standard for analog-to-digital converter offset/gain trim routines. Use Value: Enables single-point calibration with known 20 V ±1 V accuracy and <22 Ω source impedance for low-error voltage injection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4747A-T | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging (vs. bulk/ammopack for ,133); identical SOD66 footprint | Optimized for automated SMT placement; no manual handling or lead-forming required | Select when integrating into high-volume PCB assembly with pick-and-place equipment |
| BZX55-C20 | 20 V ±5 %, but lower Ptot = 500 mW and higher rdif = 50 Ω; DO-35 package | Limited to lower-power reference roles; unsuitable for >500 mW dissipation or tight load regulation | Choose only for space-constrained designs where 1000 mW headroom and 22 Ω rdif are not required |
Compared with 1N4747A-T and BZX55-C20, the 1N4747A,133 offers full 1000 mW power capability and superior 22 Ω dynamic impedance-critical for maintaining 20 V stability under variable load in industrial power rails and precision analog references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1N4747A,133?
The 1N4747A,133 is rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation at an ambient temperature of 50 °C. Derating is required above this temperature at 11.0 mW/°C, based on its 110 K/W junction-to-tie-point thermal resistance and specified maximum junction temperature of +200 °C.
How is polarity identified on the 1N4747A,133 package?
The cathode is marked by a distinct color band on the glass body of the SOD66 (DO-41) package. Pin 1 (cathode) is the banded end; Pin 2 (anode) is the unmarked end. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-41 standards and is confirmed in Nexperia's official package outline diagram.
Can 1N4747A,133 be used in place of 1N4747A-T in a design?
Yes-electrically identical and mechanically compatible in SOD66 footprint-but 1N4747A,133 is supplied in bulk/ammopack format while 1N4747A-T uses tape-and-reel. Manual assembly or prototyping favors ,133; automated SMT production requires the -T variant for feeder compatibility.
What is the reverse leakage current specification at 15.2 V?
At 15.2 V reverse voltage (0.76 × VZ), the maximum reverse current is 5 µA, per Table 8 of the Nexperia datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby mode and sharp turn-on behavior near the 20 V regulation threshold.
