Product details
Overview
SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor is a 11.0 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 8.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 23 mA test current, and 414 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C junction temperature - used for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage clamping in low-profile power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, surge current capability (414 mA @ 100°C), thermal resistance (25 °C/W), reverse leakage (5 µA @ 8.4 V), and DO-214AC mechanical compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and transient suppression in DC power conditioning circuits. It exhibits a sharp breakdown knee (IZK = 0.25 mA), low dynamic impedance (8.0 Ω), and regulated operation across -65°C to +150°C ambient range.
Its thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance of 25 °C/W, enabling reliable 2.0 W power handling when mounted with adequate copper pour or heat sinking. The cathode band polarity marking and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating support automated assembly and IPC-compliant soldering.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 11.0 V ±5% at 23 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 12 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation PM(AV) | 2.0 W continuous - supports sustained regulation without derating below 100°C |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZT | 8.0 Ω at IZT = 23 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Max Regulator Current IZM | 414 mA at TJ = 100°C - sets upper limit for steady-state current sourcing capability |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4741A | Same 11 V nominal voltage but 10% tolerance; TO-204AA (DO-41) axial package | Requires through-hole mounting; higher thermal resistance (65 °C/W) limits power handling | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or lower-cost procurement outweighs SMT density and thermal performance |
| BZX84-C11 | 11 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; 350 mW rating; 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA | Lower power and higher impedance unsuitable for >100 mA regulation; better for signal-level biasing | Select for space-constrained signal-path references where 2.0 W clamping is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4741AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 11.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, as confirmed by the "A" suffix in its part number per the manufacturer's documentation. This tighter tolerance enables more accurate voltage regulation compared to 10% variants like SMAJ4741. The SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 maintains this specification at the standard test current of 23 mA and 25°C ambient temperature.
What package type does SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 use?
SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package, characterized by a void-free thermosetting epoxy body compliant with UL94V-0, matte-tin plated terminals, and cathode identification via a visible band. Its dimensions and mechanical data match the industry-standard DO-214AC footprint, ensuring compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4741AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 is rated for 2.0 W of steady-state power dissipation (PM(AV)) under specified thermal conditions. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal management - specifically, a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W - and is valid across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.
How much reverse leakage current does SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 exhibit at 8.4 V?
At a reverse voltage of 8.4 V (76% of nominal 11.0 V), the SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA, as specified in Table 1 of the official datasheet. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on monitoring circuits and minimizes loading effects on high-impedance bias networks.
What is the dynamic impedance of SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 and why does it matter?
The SMAJ4741AE3/TR13 has a maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 8.0 Ω measured at the 23 mA test current (IZT). This parameter quantifies how tightly the Zener voltage is maintained under varying load currents - lower ZZT means less voltage deviation, which is essential for stable reference generation in feedback loops and precision clamping applications involving the SMAJ4741AE3/TR13.
