Product details
Overview
SMAJ4747E3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor 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 I/O protection circuits of industrial sensors and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4747E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4747E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4747E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4747E3/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 a sharp breakdown knee confirmed by dual-point Zener impedance measurement at IZT and IZK. Its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables stable regulation under sustained 90 mA DC current when adequately heat-sunk.
The SMAJ4747E3/TR13 exhibits 22.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 12.5 mA test current and maintains ≤5 µA reverse leakage at 15.2 V (VR), meeting IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for signal-line protection in harsh environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4747E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4747E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 20.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, verified per the manufacturer's datasheet Table 1. This tighter tolerance ensures consistent clamping performance across production units, critical for protecting sensitive 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces downstream of the SMAJ4747E3/TR13.
Does SMAJ4747E3/TR13 meet ROHS requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4747E3/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 specified in the mechanical data section of the official SM Semiconductor datasheet.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4747E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4747E3/TR13 is rated for 225 A peak surge current (Izsm) using a 1/2 sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration, per the manufacturer's Electrical Characteristics table. This rating applies at 25°C ambient and confirms suitability for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity testing.
Can SMAJ4747E3/TR13 be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, SMAJ4747E3/TR13 is qualified for operating temperatures from –65°C to +150°C and features a UL94V-0 epoxy case. Its 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and 2.0 W power rating make it suitable for under-hood ECU sensor protection, provided adequate PCB copper thermal relief is implemented.
How does the dynamic impedance of SMAJ4747E3/TR13 affect clamping performance?
The SMAJ4747E3/TR13 has a maximum dynamic impedance (ZZT) of 22.0 Ω at 12.5 mA test current. This low value limits voltage overshoot during fast transients, ensuring the clamped voltage stays within safe margins for downstream ICs-especially important in high-speed signal line protection where SMAJ4747E3/TR13 is deployed.
