Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V1,115 | 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 5% tolerance, 100 Ω dynamic impedance | Lower power handling limits use to signal-level biasing, not rail clamping | Select for space-constrained low-current references where 2 W surge capability is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4733CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, specified at 5.1 V nominal with 49 mA test current (IZT). This tighter tolerance compared to standard 5% Zeners allows more precise regulation in 5 V power rails and reference circuits without additional trimming components. The 'C' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the 2% tolerance grade per the SM Semiconductor datasheet.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4733CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 is rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with thermal resistance junction-to-lead of 25°C/W. This enables reliable operation up to 100°C case temperature when mounted on adequate PCB copper area. Derating is required above 25°C per the published thermal curve, reaching ~1.0 W at 75°C ambient.
How does the surge current rating of SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 compare to standard Zener diodes?
The SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 supports 890 mA peak surge current under 1/2-sine 120 Hz waveform (per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions), significantly exceeding typical 1 W Zeners like 1N4733A (170 mA). This high surge capability stems from its 2.0 W construction and optimized SMA package thermal path, making SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 suitable for automotive load-dump and industrial inductive switching protection.
Is SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 uses ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on terminals, fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. The device is marked "CE3" per SM Semiconductor's coding system, indicating RoHS-compliant finish and tape-and-reel packaging (TR13 = 3,000 pcs per reel).
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SMAJ4733CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4733CE3/TR13 specifies maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 1.0 V reverse voltage (VR), measured at 25°C. This low leakage supports minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered sensor nodes and avoids loading errors in high-impedance reference divider networks. Leakage remains below 50 µA up to VR = 3.0 V per the family characterization data.
