Product details
Overview
MZP4741ARL from onsemi is a 3 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 11 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance 23 Ω at 8 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 and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MZP4741ARL 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 design, ESD-hardened clamping, and industrial power rail stabilization.
Technical Context
The MZP4741ARL uses a silicon-oxide passivated junction in a Surmetic 30 construction, enabling stable reverse breakdown with low leakage (≤5 μA at 8.4 V) and high ESD tolerance (>16 kV HBM). Its 3 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75°C supports robust operation under sustained load conditions.
Thermal management relies on lead-to-ambient conduction (primary path through cathode lead), with transient thermal resistance θJL dependent on pulse width and duty cycle. Derating begins above 75°C at 24 mW/°C for 3/8″ lead length, per JEDEC-compliant power temperature curves.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4741A | Same nominal VZ (11 V), but rated at 1 W; higher ZZT (20 Ω min vs. 23 Ω max), lower surge rating (40 W) | Limited to low-power biasing; unsuitable for sustained 3 W dissipation or high-energy transients | Select MZP4741ARL when thermal margin, surge resilience, or long-term stability under load is required. |
| BZX85C11 | 1.3 W rating, TO-226AA package; VZ tolerance ±5%, but ZZT = 25 Ω typical at 5 mA - not tested at 8 mA | Lower power handling and less consistent impedance spec; no Class 3 ESD rating specified | Choose MZP4741ARL for designs needing guaranteed 3 W capability, HBM >16 kV, and DO−41 footprint compatibility. |
Compared with 1N4741A and BZX85C11, the MZP4741ARL delivers higher power headroom, tighter impedance control at rated test current, and documented ESD/surge robustness - critical for industrial and automotive systems where reliability under stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for MZP4741ARL?
The MZP4741ARL has a nominal zener voltage of 11 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a range of 10.45 V to 11.55 V when measured at IZT = 8 mA and lead temperature TL = 30°C ±1°C. This tolerance is standard across the MZP47xxA series and applies to both standard and Pb-free versions of the MZP4741ARL.
Does MZP4741ARL support automated assembly?
Yes, the MZP4741ARL is supplied in tape-and-reel format (6000 units per reel) and features a DO−41 axial-leaded package compatible with standard pick-and-place and wave-soldering equipment. Its void-free plastic case and corrosion-resistant leads ensure reliable feed performance and solder joint integrity during high-volume manufacturing of the MZP4741ARL.
How does the thermal derating of MZP4741ARL work above 75°C?
The MZP4741ARL is rated for 3 W steady-state power dissipation at TL = 75°C with 3/8″ lead length. Above that temperature, it derates linearly at 24 mW/°C. For example, at TL = 100°C, maximum allowable PD drops to 2.4 W. This derating curve is defined in Figure 1 of the official MZP4729A/D datasheet and applies directly to the MZP4741ARL.
Is MZP4741ARL RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MZP4741ARL is available in Pb-free packaging and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. onsemi confirms that specifications apply identically to both standard and Pb-free variants of the MZP4741ARL, and Pb-free orderable part numbers are published on www.onsemi.com.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for MZP4741ARL?
The MZP4741ARL has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 μA when tested at VR = 8.4 V (0.76 × VZ nominal) and TA = 25°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MZP4729A/D datasheet and is guaranteed for every unit of the MZP4741ARL.
