Product details
Overview
MZP4734ARL from onsemi is a 3 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 5.6 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance 45 Ω at 5 mA test current, and surge rating of 98 W for 1 ms. It operates from −65 °C to +200 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the MZP4734ARL datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, DO−41 package dimensions, and direct alternatives for voltage reference and clamping designs requiring stable 5.6 V regulation under transient stress.
Technical Context
The MZP4734ARL employs a silicon-oxide passivated junction in a Surmetic 30 construction, enabling high ESD robustness (Class 3, >16 kV HBM) and reliable operation across industrial temperature extremes. Its 3 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75 °C and 98 W non-repetitive surge capability support use in pulse-clamped regulator stages and transient-suppressed bias networks.
Zener voltage is guaranteed at 90 seconds with lead temperature held at 30 °C ±1 °C (3/8″ from body), and zener impedance is derived per JEDEC-compliant AC superposition method (10% rms AC current on DC IZT). Leakage current is specified as ≤10 μA at VR = 2 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.6 V nominal (min 5.32 V, max 5.88 V at IZT = 5 mA); defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamp circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 45 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA; determines output voltage deviation under load current variation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3 W at TL = 75 °C; requires thermal management via lead length ≥3/8″ or heatsinking for continuous operation |
| Surge Rating | 98 W for 1 ms (non-repetitive); enables single-event transient suppression without device failure |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model; supports handling and assembly in standard manufacturing environments |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +200 °C; suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and high-temp power converter applications |

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 | Same 5.6 V nominal VZ, but rated 1 W (not 3 W); ZZT = 7 Ω at 49 mA vs. 45 Ω at 5 mA | Lower power handling limits use in high-current or surge-prone circuits | Select MZP4734ARL where sustained 3 W dissipation or 98 W transient clamping is required |
| BZX55-C5V6 | 5.6 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, ZZT = 40 Ω at 5 mA; smaller DO-35 package | Not suitable for >0.5 W continuous operation or high-energy transients | Choose MZP4734ARL when thermal margin, surge immunity, or industrial temperature range (−65 °C to +200 °C) is critical |
Compared with 1N4734A and BZX55-C5V6, the MZP4734ARL provides triple the power rating, superior surge resilience, and extended temperature capability-making it the preferred choice for ruggedized power regulation and protection in automotive, industrial, and energy infrastructure systems.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for MZP4734ARL?
The MZP4734ARL has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 5.6 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 5.32 V and 5.88 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and lead temperature maintained at 30 °C ±1 °C. This tolerance is guaranteed per onsemi's production testing and applies to all units regardless of Pb-free or standard packaging.
How does the MZP4734ARL handle surge conditions?
The MZP4734ARL is rated for 98 W non-repetitive surge power at 1 ms pulse width per JEDEC standards, significantly exceeding its 3 W steady-state rating. This capability is enabled by its Surmetic 30 construction and silicon-oxide passivated junction. Surge testing must follow the rectangular waveform definition in Figure 3 of the datasheet-not thermal derating curves-to avoid overstress.
What is the maximum operating temperature for MZP4734ARL?
The MZP4734ARL has a specified operating and storage temperature range of −65 °C to +200 °C. Junction temperature must be calculated using lead temperature (TL) and transient thermal resistance data from Figure 2. At TL = 75 °C and lead length = 3/8″, the device sustains 3 W continuously; derating begins above that temperature at 24 mW/°C.
Is MZP4734ARL RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MZP4734ARL is available in Pb-free packaging compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. onsemi confirms that specifications-including zener voltage, impedance, surge rating, and temperature range-are identical for both standard and Pb-free versions of the MZP4734ARL, with no performance compromise.
What package type does MZP4734ARL use?
The MZP4734ARL uses the DO−41 package (JEDEC Case 59−10), an axial-leaded plastic outline with 4.10–5.20 mm body length and 0.71–0.86 mm lead diameter. Polarity is marked by a cathode band; mounting position is unrestricted, and maximum soldering temperature is 230 °C for 10 seconds at 1/16″ from the case.
