1N4733 Zener Diode

Type: Zener diode.
Zener Voltage: The 1N4733 specifically has a Zener voltage of 5.1 volts (V_Z).
Power Dissipation: Typically rated around 1 watt (P_D).
Package: Available in axial-lead package (DO-41).
Applications:
Voltage Regulation: Used to maintain a constant voltage across its terminals, particularly in voltage regulation circuits.
Voltage Reference: Provides a stable voltage reference for various applications.
Over-voltage Protection: Often used to protect sensitive components from voltage spikes.
Characteristics:
Breakdown Voltage: When the voltage across the diode reaches its Zener voltage (5.1V in this case), it starts conducting in reverse bias to maintain that voltage.
Stable Operation: Provides a stable voltage output within a specified tolerance range.
Current Limiting: It can handle a certain amount of current while regulating the voltage.
