Product details
Overview
SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor is a 9.1 V, ±2% tolerance silicon Zener diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation and 200 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, used for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in low-profile power rails and signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), surge current rating (500 A), and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability in high-density PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference and clamping element, with breakdown voltage specified at 9.1 V ±2% under 28 mA test current (IZT). Its 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT ensures stable regulation across varying load currents.
The SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 features a sharp knee in the reverse breakdown curve verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement, and maintains regulation over -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range with cathode polarity indicated by a band on the epoxy body.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V microcontroller power inputs against load-dump transients up to 35 V in engine control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage clamp placed between VCC and GND, conducting only during overvoltage events. Use Value: Limits peak rail voltage to ≤9.1 V + dynamic overshoot, preventing latch-up or permanent damage to downstream logic. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog outputs of pressure sensors exposed to ESD in factory automation PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor connected between signal line and ground, leveraging Zener forward conduction below 1.2 V. Use Value: Clamps fast-rising ESD pulses (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) while maintaining <10 µA leakage at 7.0 V for signal integrity. |
| Consumer USB Port Overvoltage Guard | Telecom Line Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Preventing damage to USB 2.0 PHY ICs from hot-plug-induced voltage spikes on VBUS lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby shunt regulator that activates only when VBUS exceeds 9.1 V, diverting surge current to ground. Use Value: Responds within nanoseconds to 100 ns rise-time transients, limiting excursion to <12 V for <100 ns duration. | Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceivers from lightning-induced surges on long-haul data lines in base station equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection stage after gas discharge tube (GDT), absorbing residual energy after primary clamping. Use Value: Handles 500 A 8/20 µs surge current without degradation, maintaining 9.1 V clamping level after repeated strikes. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | 10% voltage tolerance (9.1 V ±10%), DO-41 package, 1.0 W rating | Lower power handling and looser tolerance limit use in non-critical bias networks only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and surge robustness requirements |
| BZX84-C9V1 | ±5% tolerance, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, higher ZZT (15 Ω) | Not suitable for >100 mA regulation or high-energy transients due to power and surge limits | Prefer for space-constrained low-power signal conditioning where 500 A surge immunity is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4739A and BZX84-C9V1, the SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 delivers tighter voltage control, higher surge resilience, and superior thermal performance-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial applications demanding reliability under stress.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4739CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2%, meaning its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 8.92 V and 9.28 V at 28 mA test current. This tighter tolerance compared to standard 5% or 10% Zeners allows more accurate voltage referencing in feedback networks and reduces design margin overhead. The 'C' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this 2% grade, confirmed in Table 1 of the official SM Semiconductor datasheet.
Does SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 meet ROHS requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 uses ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its terminals, fully compliant with Directive 2011/65/EU. The plating meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability and is applied over copper leads encapsulated in UL94V-0 rated thermosetting epoxy. No lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances are present above threshold limits.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4739CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (Izsm) of 500 A, measured using a 1/2 sine-wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This value reflects its capability to absorb high-energy transients such as automotive load dump or lightning-induced surges without parametric shift or catastrophic failure, provided adequate PCB copper area is used for heat dissipation.
Can SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 be used in surface-mount designs?
Yes, SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package with gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles. Its 0.3 g mass and ROHS-compliant matte-tin finish ensure reliable wetting and joint formation. The datasheet specifies solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and the package footprint aligns with IPC-7351B standard for SMA devices.
How does the thermal resistance of SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 affect its power handling?
The SMAJ4739CE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25°C/W, enabling effective heat transfer from the die to the PCB copper via the leads. At 100°C case temperature, this allows full 2.0 W power dissipation without exceeding the 150°C maximum junction temperature-critical for sustained operation in enclosed automotive or industrial enclosures where airflow is limited.
