Product Overview

The Vishay 1N4728A is a single silicon planar power Zener diode for voltage stabilization in the Power_Management category. Its nominal Zener voltage is 3.3 V with a standard ±5 % tolerance, measured at IZT1 = 76 mA under thermal equilibrium at Tamb = 25°C. The datasheet also defines the Zener current relationship as IZ = PV/VZ for absolute maximum ratings with tp = 10 ms.

Electrical parameters include 10 Ω maximum dynamic resistance ZZT at 1 kHz and IZT1 = 76 mA, plus 400 Ω maximum ZZK at 1 kHz and IZT2 = 1 mA. Reverse leakage is specified as 100 µA maximum at VR = 1 V, and forward voltage is 1.2 V maximum at IF = 200 mA.

The device uses a DO-41 (DO-204AL) package with 4.1 mm maximum body length, 2.6 mm maximum body diameter, 26 mm minimum lead length on each side, and a cathode identification band. Package details include approximately 310 mg weight, MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, UL 94 V-0 molding compound flammability rating, and 260°C maximum soldering peak temperature.
