Product details
Overview
SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor is a 22.0 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 82 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, and 205 mA peak surge current; used for transient voltage suppression in I/O protection circuits of industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25°C/W), reverse leakage at 16.7 V, knee impedance, and surge current capability under 1/2-sine 1/120 s pulse conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon-based voltage-regulating transient voltage suppressor with sharp breakdown knee characteristics verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement at 10% AC superimposed on DC test current. It maintains stable regulation across -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range.
Designed for unidirectional clamping, SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 features cathode band polarity marking, void-free UL94V-0 epoxy case, and matte-tin plating compliant with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its 25°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enables reliable power handling when mounted on PCBs with adequate copper thermal relief.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4748A | Same 22 V nominal voltage but DO-41 axial package; higher RθJA (65°C/W); no ROHS compliance stated | Requires through-hole mounting; less suitable for automated SMT assembly and high-density layouts | Prefer SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 for surface-mount production and thermal performance-critical designs |
| BZX84-C22 | 22 V ±5%, SOT-23 package; lower power rating (300 mW); 150 Ω typical ZZT; 100 nA IR @ 17.6 V | Optimized for low-current signal-line protection; insufficient for 205 mA surge duty | Select SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 where surge immunity >150 mA and power dissipation >0.5 W is required |
Compared with 1N4748A and BZX84-C22, SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 delivers superior surge robustness (205 mA), lower thermal resistance (25°C/W), and SMT compatibility-making it optimal for industrial-grade 24 V system protection where reliability and manufacturability are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4748AE3/TR13?
SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage at 11.5 mA test current falls within 20.9 V to 23.1 V at 25°C. This tighter tolerance versus standard 10% variants allows more precise clamping in voltage-sensitive protection circuits. The 'A' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this 5% specification per the manufacturer's documentation.
Does SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 meet ROHS requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 uses ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its terminals, verified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability. The void-free UL94V-0 epoxy case and lead-free construction align with Directive 2011/65/EU. Full compliance documentation is available upon request for Aetrix Electronics customers.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4748AE3/TR13?
SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 is rated for 205 mA peak surge current under standardized 1/2-sine wave conditions with 1/120 second duration. This value reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without failure and is measured at 25°C ambient. Derating applies at elevated temperatures per the device's thermal resistance profile.
How does the thermal resistance of SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 affect PCB layout?
SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25°C/W. To maintain safe operating temperature, PCB layout must provide sufficient copper area connected to both leads-especially the cathode-to dissipate 2.0 W steady-state power. Thermal vias and inner-layer copper pours are recommended when ambient exceeds 70°C.
Can SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 be used in bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 is a unidirectional Zener diode intended for single-polarity clamping. It conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode by ≥22.0 V. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC signal lines), a pair of SMAJ4748AE3/TR13 devices in series opposition-or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMAJ22A-is required.
