Product details
Overview
SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 from Semtech is a 20 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 90 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, and 225 A peak surge current; used for transient voltage suppression in automotive sensor signal lines.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, surge current rating, thermal resistance, and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability in high-reliability PCB assemblies.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for transient voltage suppression, with breakdown voltage specified at 20.0 V ±5% under 12.5 mA test current. It exhibits 22 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT and maintains regulation across -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range.
Its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables effective heat dissipation when mounted on copper pads, supporting stable operation up to 2.0 W average power under pulsed or continuous DC conditions per JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical standard.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 20.0 V ±5% at 12.5 mA - ensures precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail protection |
| Power Dissipation | 2.0 W steady-state - supports sustained overvoltage handling without derating on standard FR4 with 10 mm² copper pad |
| Peak Surge Current | 225 A (8/20 µs waveform) - withstands automotive load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 |
| Dynamic Impedance | 22 Ω at 12.5 mA - limits voltage overshoot during fast transients to <0.5 V above VZ |
| Junction-to-Lead Rθ | 25 °C/W - enables thermal design margin of ≥40°C rise at full 2.0 W in typical SMT layout |
| Reverse Leakage | 5 µA max at 15.2 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on sensor interfaces |
| Operating Temp | -65°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357B | Same 20 V nominal, but 5% tolerance in DO-15 package; higher RθJL (40 °C/W); 150 A Izsm | Through-hole mounting only; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher surge margin at lower cost is prioritized |
| SZ1SMA4747AHE3 | Identical electrical specs, same SMA package, but AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive grade | Required for ASIL-B functional safety paths; includes extended reliability testing | Select for new automotive designs requiring PPAP documentation and zero-defect screening |
Compared with SMAJ4747AE3/TR13, 1N5357B offers lower cost but requires PCB redesign for axial leads and delivers 25% less surge capability, while SZ1SMA4747AHE3 adds AEC-Q200 qualification at no performance trade-off-ideal for safety-critical vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4747AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 19.0 V and 21.0 V at the 12.5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance compared to non-A suffix variants improves clamping accuracy in sensitive 24 V system interfaces where overvoltage margin must be tightly controlled. The SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 datasheet specifies this value in Table 1 under "Zener Voltage VZ @ IZT".
Does SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 meet automotive qualification standards?
The SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 is not AEC-Q200 qualified; it is an industrial-grade Zener diode. For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, Semtech offers the SZ1SMA4747AHE3 variant, which shares identical electrical parameters but includes AEC-Q200 stress testing and PPAP documentation. SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 remains suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where customer internal validation suffices.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4747AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 is rated for 225 A peak surge current (Izsm) under an 8/20 µs waveform condition, as defined in the manufacturer's datasheet. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy from sources such as inductive load switching or ESD events without degradation. The value is measured at 25°C ambient and assumes proper PCB thermal relief per DO-214AC mounting guidelines.
Is SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant?
Yes, SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 features ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its terminals, verified per Semtech's official documentation and compliant with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The plating ensures reliable solderability using lead-free reflow profiles (up to 260°C peak) and meets MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 solderability requirements. This makes SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 suitable for modern green manufacturing processes.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for SMAJ4747AE3/TR13?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for SMAJ4747AE3/TR13 is 25 °C/W, as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table of the official datasheet. This value enables accurate thermal modeling when the device is mounted on standard PCB copper pours, allowing designers to calculate junction temperature rise under continuous or pulsed power conditions without requiring external heatsinking in most applications.
