Product details
Overview
SMAJ4741E3/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, 23.0 mA test current (IZT), and 414 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 100°C junction temperature. It serves as a precision voltage reference and transient overvoltage clamp in low-profile DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4741E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4741E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4741E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4741E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, surge current capability (414 mA IZM), thermal resistance (25 °C/W), and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability in high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee characteristics, verified by dual-point dynamic impedance measurement (ZZT = 8.0 Ω @ IZT = 23.0 mA, ZZK = 400 Ω @ IZK = 0.25 mA). Its regulation stability spans -65°C to +150°C operating range with low reverse leakage (IR ≤ 5 µA @ VR = 8.4 V).
The SMAJ4741E3/TR13 delivers stable clamping during transient events via controlled avalanche breakdown, supported by void-free thermosetting epoxy encapsulation (UL94V-0 rated) and flexible axial-lead mounting terminals compatible with standard reflow and wave soldering processes.

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 zener voltage, but DO-41 through-hole package; 10% tolerance; 1.0 W power rating | Requires PCB through-hole mounting; unsuitable for automated SMT assembly or space-constrained layouts | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or lower cost outweighs power/size requirements |
| BZX84-C11 | SOT-23 package; 11 V ±5%; 300 mW power; higher dynamic impedance (20 Ω) | Limited surge handling (IZM = 100 mA); not rated for 2.0 W continuous dissipation | Choose only for low-energy signal-line clamping where board area is critical and thermal load is minimal |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4741E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4741E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 11.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 10.45 V and 11.55 V when tested at 23.0 mA. This tighter tolerance compared to standard 10% Zeners allows more precise voltage clamping in critical power rails and feedback networks, and is confirmed in Table 1 of the official SM Semiconductor datasheet (Document Number: SMAJ4728A thru SMAJ4751A).
Does SMAJ4741E3/TR13 meet ROHS requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4741E3/TR13 features ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its terminals, verified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and its void-free thermosetting epoxy body meets UL94V-0 flammability standards-making it suitable for environmentally regulated markets including EU and China RoHS.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4741E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4741E3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (Izsm) of 414 mA, measured using a 1/2 sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This value corresponds to its maximum regulator current (IZM) at 100°C junction temperature and reflects its ability to absorb repetitive transient energy without parametric shift or failure-critical for protecting circuits exposed to inductive switching or ESD events.
Can SMAJ4741E3/TR13 be used in place of SMAJ4741A?
Yes, SMAJ4741E3/TR13 is functionally identical to SMAJ4741A in electrical specifications-including 11.0 V zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, 2.0 W power rating, and SMA package-but differs in packaging format: "E3/TR13" denotes tape-and-reel packaging (13-inch reel) optimized for automated SMT placement, whereas "A" suffix typically indicates bulk or ammo-pack formats. No electrical or thermal redesign is needed when substituting.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for SMAJ4741E3/TR13?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) of SMAJ4741E3/TR13 is 25 °C/W, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. This parameter quantifies how effectively heat transfers from the silicon die to the device's metal leads, enabling direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pours or heatsinks-supporting full 2.0 W power dissipation without additional thermal vias when leads are adequately copper-plated.
