Product details
Overview
SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor is a 6.2 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 292 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, and 730 mA peak surge current. It serves as a precision voltage reference and transient overvoltage protector in low-profile DC power rails and signal line conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), reverse leakage (≤10 µA @ 3.0 V), surge capability (730 mA), and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee (verified via dual-point Zz measurement per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026), designed for stable voltage regulation across 1.0–292 mA operating current and -65°C to +150°C ambient range. Its 6.2 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified at 41 mA test current (IZT) with dynamic impedance ≤2.0 Ω.
The SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 exhibits 10 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 3.0 V and maintains regulation under transient surges up to 730 mA (1/2 sine wave, 1/120 sec), enabled by void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation meeting UL94V-0 flammability rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V ±5% at 41 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation (PM(AV)) | 2.0 W - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 292 mA at TJ = 100°C - sets upper DC current limit before thermal derating |
| Peak Surge Current (Izsm) | 730 mA - withstands short-duration transients from inductive switching or ESD events |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤10 µA @ VR = 3.0 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25 °C/W - enables direct lead-to-PCB heat transfer for thermal stability |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | ≤2.0 Ω @ IZT = 41 mA - maintains tight voltage regulation under load variation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mountable, cathode indicated by band, ROHS-compliant matte-tin plated leads, 0.3 g typical weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during normal operation; forms low-impedance path when forward-biased |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; clamps voltage to 6.2 V when reverse voltage exceeds breakdown threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5% Zener voltage tolerance | Ensures predictable clamping within ±0.31 V of 6.2 V, critical for tight-margin power rail protection |
| UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation | Provides flame-retardant mechanical integrity and moisture resistance in industrial environments |
| ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating | Guarantees solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 and eliminates lead-based process constraints |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A | Same 6.2 V nominal voltage but DO-41 package (axial lead); RθJL = 50 °C/W vs. 25 °C/W | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; less suitable for high-density SMT designs | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher thermal mass is preferred |
| BZX55C6V2 | 6.2 V ±5%, but 500 mW power rating and DO-35 package; Izsm = 200 mA max | Limited to low-energy transients; insufficient for automotive load-dump or industrial motor-switching events | Select only for battery-powered, low-power signal-level clamping where space permits axial leads |
Compared with SMAJ4735AE3/TR13, the 1N4735A offers identical electrical regulation but inferior thermal performance and board-space efficiency, while the BZX55C6V2 sacrifices surge robustness and power handling for smaller size-making SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 optimal for SMT-based, high-reliability transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4735AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.2 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 5.89 V and 6.51 V when measured at 41 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in Table 1 of the official SM Semiconductor datasheet (Document Number: SMAJ4728A thru SMAJ4751A) and applies strictly to the "A" suffix variant. The SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 meets this specification under standard 25°C conditions.
Does SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 support ROHS-compliant assembly processes?
Yes, SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 features ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its leads, verified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability. The device is fully compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for surface-mount assembly. Its void-free thermosetting epoxy case also complies with UL94V-0, supporting environmentally regulated manufacturing for SMAJ4735AE3/TR13.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4735AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (Izsm) of 730 mA, defined using a 1/2 sine wave pulse with 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This value is measured per the methodology in the official SM Semiconductor datasheet and reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy from inductive switching or ESD events without degradation. Sustained operation above this limit requires derating based on thermal conditions and pulse repetition rate for SMAJ4735AE3/TR13.
How does the thermal resistance of SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 affect its power handling?
The SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25°C/W, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature by 25°C above lead temperature. At 100°C junction temperature, its maximum DC regulator current (IZM) is 292 mA. This low RθJL enables effective heat transfer to PCB copper pours, allowing full 2.0 W steady-state dissipation without external heatsinks-critical for compact designs using SMAJ4735AE3/TR13.
Can SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 be used as a replacement for SMAJ4735A without layout changes?
Yes, SMAJ4735AE3/TR13 is a direct drop-in replacement for SMAJ4735A: both share identical SMA (DO-214AC) package dimensions, pinout (cathode-banded), electrical specifications (6.2 V ±5%, 2.0 W, 730 mA Izsm), and ROHS-compliant plating. The "E3/TR13" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standards and does not alter electrical or mechanical behavior-no PCB redesign or footprint modification is required when substituting SMAJ4735AE3/TR13.
