Vishay Intertech · Zener Diodes · DO-213AB
ZM4731A-GS08 from Vishay Intertech, in a DO-213AB. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K | passive | Cathode, marked by the cathode identification band on the MELF glass body; the ZM4731A has a nominal Zener voltage of 4.3 V at IZT1 = 58 mA and a maximum regulator current of 217 mA. |
| 2 | A | passive | Anode, the end opposite the cathode band; total power dissipation is limited to 1000 mW provided the electrodes are kept at ambient temperature. |
