Product details
Overview
SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 from SM Semiconductors 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 A peak surge current; used for overvoltage protection on I/O lines and power rails in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), reverse leakage (≤5 µA at 16.7 V), surge capability (205 A), and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee, specified at 11.5 mA test current (IZT) and 23 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT). It maintains regulation across -65°C to +150°C ambient, with cathode indicated by band polarity and void-free thermosetting epoxy case meeting UL94V-0.
Designed for transient voltage suppression, it clamps inductive switching spikes and ESD events on low-voltage signal paths. Its 0.3 g mass and axial-lead SMA package support high-density PCB layouts while enabling manual or automated assembly with MIL-STD-750 solderability compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4748CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, meaning its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 20.9 V and 23.1 V at 11.5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance versus standard 10% variants allows more precise overvoltage clamping in 24 V systems. The 'C' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this 5% specification, confirmed in the official SMAJ4728A–SMAJ4751A datasheet revision Feb.29,2012.
Does SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 meet ROHS requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 uses ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its leads, verified per the manufacturer's documentation. The terminals are solderable per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026, and the void-free thermosetting epoxy case meets UL94V-0 flammability standards. No lead content is present in the finished device, satisfying Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II substance restrictions.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4748CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 is rated for 205 A peak surge current (Izsm), measured using a 1/2 sine wave or equivalent 120 Hz pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This value is derived from the device's 2.0 W power rating and thermal design, enabling protection against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 transients. The surge rating applies only when mounted per recommended PCB pad layout per the datasheet.
Can SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 be used in automotive applications?
Yes, SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 is qualified for automotive use with an operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation. It is deployed in body control modules for LIN bus and 12 V auxiliary rail protection. Its 5 µA reverse leakage at 16.7 V prevents excessive battery drain, and its 0.3 g mass reduces thermal-cycle-induced solder joint fatigue-key requirements for under-hood and cabin electronics.
How does the thermal resistance of SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 affect its power handling?
SMAJ4748CE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25°C/W, meaning each watt dissipated raises the junction temperature 25°C above the lead temperature. At 25°C ambient and standard PCB mounting, this allows full 2.0 W continuous operation without heatsinking. Exceeding 2.0 W or operating above 25°C ambient requires derating per the datasheet's temperature curve to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.
