1N4733A Details

The recommended operating temperature range for the 1N4733A is -65°C to +175°C, although the datasheet only specifies the electrical characteristics at 25°C.
To ensure proper derating, consult the datasheet's thermal resistance and power dissipation curves to determine the maximum allowable power dissipation at the desired operating temperature. A general rule of thumb is to derate the power dissipation by 50% for every 25°C above 25°C.
The datasheet does not explicitly specify a surge current rating. However, as a general guideline, the surge current rating for zener diodes is typically 10-20 times the maximum DC current rating. For the 1N4733A, this would translate to a surge current rating of around 10-20 A.
While the 1N4733A can be used as a voltage regulator, it is not recommended due to its limited power dissipation capability and relatively high dynamic impedance. A dedicated voltage regulator IC would be a more suitable choice for most applications.
To select the correct resistor value, you need to consider the desired output voltage, the zener voltage, and the maximum current required by the load. A general guideline is to choose a resistor value that limits the current to 10-20% of the maximum current rating of the zener diode.
