	??? Not sure what you mean, here.  The DO-5 zener devices I use are
normally rated 50W at 55 degrees (C) Tc.  Readily available from many
sources for a few dollars.  The advantage is their high peak current rating,
usually hundreds of Amperes for a low-value Vz.  3A axial lead rectifiers
aren't DO-5, they're usually DO-2, DO-41, DO-42, etc.
