Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

This component is officially marked as obsolete and discontinued by Diodes Incorporated. No alternate part is available from the manufacturer. Verification of availability should focus on third-party distributors or surplus markets, as direct procurement from the original source is not possible.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Selection requires acknowledging the obsolete status of this specific part number. Designers must evaluate alternative manufacturers offering equivalent 5.6V, 1W Zener diodes in the DO-41 package. Compatibility checks should verify that the replacement meets the required 5% tolerance and operating temperature specifications.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

The 1N4734A belongs to the 1N4728A through 1N4761A series of silicon Zener diodes manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. This series covers a wide voltage range from 3.3V to 75V. The -T suffix indicates the device was supplied in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Diodes Incorporated states there is no alternate part for this obsolete series. Engineers must source equivalents from other semiconductor vendors that provide 1W Zener diodes in the DO-41 package with matching electrical parameters.
