Product details
Overview
SMAJ4739E3/TR13 from SM Semiconductors is a 9.1 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 200 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, and 500 A peak surge current. It serves as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in low-profile power rail regulation and ESD-sensitive signal line protection.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4739E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4739E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4739E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4739E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), reverse leakage (<10 µA @ 7.0 V), knee impedance (0.5 Ω @ 0.25 mA), and surge current capability (500 A, 1/2 sine wave).
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee and stable regulation over -65°C to +150°C ambient range. Its 9.1 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 28 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of 5.0 Ω and knee impedance of 0.5 Ω at 0.25 mA.
The SMAJ4739E3/TR13 uses void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0), tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and cathode identification via axial band. It is designed for surface-mount-compatible axial-lead mounting with 0.3 g mass and 25°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation and transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | Same 9.1 V ±5%, but DO-41 package (higher RθJL = 50°C/W); 1.0 W rating | Limited to lower-power, through-hole designs; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Choose only if legacy DO-41 footprint and lower cost outweigh thermal and space constraints |
| BZX84-C9V1 | 9.1 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 300 mW rating; higher ZZT (15 Ω) | Designed for low-current biasing, not power rail clamping; insufficient for >100 mA surge duty | Select for portable electronics where board space is critical and surge energy is <10 A |
Compared with 1N4739A and BZX84-C9V1, SMAJ4739E3/TR13 delivers 2× power handling, 2× surge current, and half the thermal resistance-making it the only option suitable for industrial-grade 2.0 W continuous regulation and 500 A transient suppression in compact SMA footprints.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4739E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4739E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 9.1 V with a ±5% tolerance, verified per the manufacturer's datasheet Table 1. This tolerance applies at 28 mA test current (IZT) and 25°C ambient. The "A" suffix in the part family confirms the 5% grade, enabling tighter regulation margins than standard 10% Zeners. SMAJ4739E3/TR13 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
Does SMAJ4739E3/TR13 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4739E3/TR13 features RoHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its terminals, as explicitly stated in the mechanical data section of the official datasheet. The void-free thermosetting epoxy body also complies with UL94V-0 flammability standards. No lead or hazardous substances exceed EU RoHS Directive limits, and the device is marked accordingly for traceable compliance in production environments.
What is the maximum continuous current SMAJ4739E3/TR13 can regulate at 100°C?
At 100°C case temperature, SMAJ4739E3/TR13 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 200 mA, as specified in Table 1 of the datasheet. This value assumes adequate heat sinking and accounts for derating due to thermal resistance (25°C/W). Exceeding 200 mA at 100°C risks exceeding the 2.0 W power limit and potential thermal runaway. SMAJ4739E3/TR13 must be mounted on sufficient copper area to maintain safe junction temperature.
Can SMAJ4739E3/TR13 be used as a replacement for SMAJ4739A?
Yes, SMAJ4739E3/TR13 is functionally identical to SMAJ4739A in electrical and thermal specifications, including 9.1 V ±5% zener voltage, 2.0 W power rating, and SMA (DO-214AC) package. The "E3/TR13" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard, while "A" indicates the same 5% tolerance grade. No circuit or layout changes are required when substituting SMAJ4739E3/TR13 for SMAJ4739A in existing designs.
What is the reverse leakage current of SMAJ4739E3/TR13 at 7.0 V?
The reverse leakage current (IR) of SMAJ4739E3/TR13 is guaranteed to be less than 10 µA when biased at 7.0 V, per Table 1 in the official datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent power draw in always-on circuits such as battery-powered sensor nodes or backup power monitors. The specification holds across the full operating temperature range and is measured at 25°C ambient unless otherwise noted.
