Product details
Overview
MZP4744ARLG from onsemi is a 3 W axial-lead Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 15 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 17 Ω at 14 mA test current, and surge rating of 98 W for 1 ms. It operates across −65 °C to +200 °C and delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the MZP4744ARLG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this part serves as a high-surge-capable, DO−41 packaged Zener regulator suitable for industrial power rails, automotive subsystems, and embedded voltage clamping where ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM) and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the MZP47xxA series of silicon-oxide passivated Zener regulators housed in a void-free, transfer-molded plastic DO−41 package (Case 59). Its junction construction enables low leakage (≤0.25 μA at 11.4 V), tight voltage tolerance (±5%), and guaranteed limits on six electrical parameters including VZ, IZT, ZZT, ZZK, IR, and VR.
The MZP4744ARLG is rated for 3 W steady-state dissipation at 75 °C lead temperature with 24 mW/°C derating above that point, and supports non-repetitive 98 W surge pulses per JEDEC standards. Its cathode band polarity marking and axial-leaded form factor enable through-hole mounting in space-constrained PCB layouts without thermal pad requirements.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4744A | Same nominal VZ (15 V), but rated for 1 W only; ZZT = 16 Ω @ 14 mA; no specified surge rating | Limited to low-power reference or signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 3 W continuous or 98 W surge scenarios | Select MZP4744ARLG when >1 W steady-state dissipation or JEDEC-compliant surge immunity is required. |
| BZX85C15 | 1.3 W rating; VZ = 15 V ±5%; ZZT = 20 Ω @ 5 mA; ESD rated to 8 kV HBM only | Designed for general-purpose PCB-level protection; lacks thermal margin for high-ambient deployments | Choose MZP4744ARLG for automotive-grade reliability, extended temperature range, and higher surge endurance. |
Compared with 1N4744A and BZX85C15, the MZP4744ARLG provides triple the power rating, verified 98 W surge capability, and full −65 °C to +200 °C qualification-making it the only option among the three suitable for under-hood automotive or industrial power rail stabilization.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for MZP4744ARLG?
The MZP4744ARLG has a guaranteed zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal value of 15 V, resulting in a specified range of 14.25 V to 15.75 V at 14 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is standardized across the MZP47xxA series and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet Rev. 3.
Does MZP4744ARLG support Pb-free assembly processes?
Yes, MZP4744ARLG is available in Pb-free packaging and complies with RoHS and ELV directives. The device uses lead-free terminations and thermosetting plastic encapsulation, and all specifications-including thermal derating, surge rating, and electrical parameters-apply identically to both standard and Pb-free versions per onsemi documentation.
What is the maximum non-repetitive surge power rating for MZP4744ARLG?
The MZP4744ARLG is rated for 98 W non-repetitive surge power at 1 ms pulse width, per JEDEC standards. This rating is validated in Figure 3 of the official datasheet and reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without degradation-distinct from its 3 W steady-state power limit.
How is polarity identified on the MZP4744ARLG package?
Polarity on the MZP4744ARLG is indicated by a cathode band marked on the plastic body. When installed, the banded end is the cathode terminal and must be connected to the higher-potential side of the circuit to achieve reverse-bias zener operation. The anode lead is unmarked and connects to the lower-potential rail.
What thermal derating applies to MZP4744ARLG above 75°C lead temperature?
MZP4744ARLG must be derated at 24 mW/°C above a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C. At TL = 100°C, its maximum steady-state power dissipation drops to 2.4 W. Derating assumes 3/8″ lead length; shorter leads increase thermal resistance and require further reduction per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
