Product details
Overview
SMAJ4748E3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor is a 22 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 overvoltage protection on low-voltage signal lines in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4748E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4748E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4748E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4748E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25°C/W), reverse leakage at rated voltage (5 µA @ 16.7 V), surge current capability, and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon-based voltage-regulating transient voltage suppressor with sharp breakdown knee characteristics confirmed by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. It maintains stable regulation across -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range and exhibits 25°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance for effective heat dissipation in lead-mounted configurations.
The SMAJ4748E3/TR13 delivers 22.0 V nominal zener voltage at 11.5 mA test current with 23.0 Ω maximum dynamic impedance and 720 Ω maximum knee impedance at 0.25 mA, enabling precise clamping in low-power analog and digital I/O protection circuits where tight voltage margin control is required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4748A | Same 22 V ±5% rating but in DO-41 package; higher RθJL (50°C/W) and lower Izsm (170 mA) | Requires larger PCB footprint and reduced surge margin in compact designs | Prefer SMAJ4748E3/TR13 for surface-mount density and thermal performance |
| BZX84-C22 | 22 V ±5% in SOT-23; 300 mW power rating and 100 mA Izsm; no specified RθJL | Limited to low-energy signal line protection; unsuitable for power rail clamping | Select SMAJ4748E3/TR13 when >1 W dissipation or >150 mA surge handling is required |
Compared with 1N4748A and BZX84-C22, the SMAJ4748E3/TR13 provides superior thermal management (25°C/W vs. 50°C/W or unspecified), higher surge robustness (205 mA vs. 170 mA or 100 mA), and optimized form factor for automated assembly-making it the preferred choice for industrial-grade transient suppression where reliability and board space are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4748E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4748E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 22.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, as confirmed by the "A" suffix in the part numbering convention per SM Semiconductor's documentation. This means the actual measured breakdown voltage falls between 20.9 V and 23.1 V at 11.5 mA test current under standard 25°C conditions. The SMAJ4748E3/TR13 is not rated for tighter tolerances such as ±2% or ±1%.
Does SMAJ4748E3/TR13 support ROHS-compliant assembly processes?
Yes, SMAJ4748E3/TR13 features ROHS-compliant annealed matte-tin plating on its leads, verified per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability and intermetallic stability. This ensures compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak and eliminates concerns about tin whisker formation or dewetting during manufacturing. The SMAJ4748E3/TR13 meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL-1.
What is the maximum allowable reverse leakage current for SMAJ4748E3/TR13?
The maximum reverse leakage current for SMAJ4748E3/TR13 is 5 µA at 16.7 V (76% of nominal zener voltage), as specified in Table 1 of the official datasheet. This value is measured at 25°C ambient and reflects worst-case leakage under pre-breakdown conditions. At 100°C junction temperature, leakage remains below 50 µA, preserving signal integrity in high-temperature sensor front-ends using the SMAJ4748E3/TR13.
Can SMAJ4748E3/TR13 be used in place of SMAJ4748A?
Yes, SMAJ4748E3/TR13 is functionally identical to SMAJ4748A in electrical specifications, package (SMA/DO-214AC), and marking - the "E3/TR13" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standard with 3,000 units per reel. No design changes are needed when substituting SMAJ4748E3/TR13 for SMAJ4748A; both share identical zener voltage, surge rating, thermal resistance, and ROHS compliance.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead for SMAJ4748E3/TR13?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for SMAJ4748E3/TR13 is 25°C/W, meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature 25°C above the lead temperature. This value is measured under standard lead-mounting conditions and enables accurate thermal modeling when the SMAJ4748E3/TR13 is soldered to copper pours or heatsinked leads. It is significantly lower than axial-lead alternatives like 1N4748A (50°C/W).
