Product details
Overview
SMAJ4749E3/TR13 from SM Semiconductors is a 24 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode transient voltage suppressor in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 10.5 mA test current, and 25 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, used for overvoltage protection of I/O lines in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4749E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4749E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4749E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4749E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage tolerance, surge current rating (190 A), reverse leakage at VR, dynamic impedance, and thermal performance under sustained regulation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse-breakdown knee, designed to clamp transient overvoltages above its nominal 24 V breakdown voltage while maintaining stable regulation across 10.5 mA test current and up to 76 mA maximum regulator current at 100 °C case temperature.
It features a void-free thermosetting epoxy case compliant with UL94V-0, cathode band polarity marking, and tin-lead or RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357BRLG | Same 24 V, 5% tolerance, but DO-41 package with higher RθJA (65 °C/W) and lower Izsm (150 A) | Through-hole mounting; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Prefer SMAJ4749E3/TR13 for space-constrained PCBs requiring superior thermal coupling |
| SMBJ24A | Same 24 V, 5% tolerance, but SMB (DO-214AA) package with 600 W peak power and 200 A Izsm | Higher surge rating but larger footprint and 30% higher capacitance (150 pF vs. 90 pF) | Choose SMAJ4749E3/TR13 where board area and signal integrity on high-speed lines are critical |
Compared with 1N5357BRLG and SMBJ24A, SMAJ4749E3/TR13 offers optimal balance of compact SMA footprint, 190 A surge capability, and 25 °C/W thermal resistance-making it preferred for dense industrial I/O modules where thermal management and layout efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of SMAJ4749E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4749E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 24.0 V with a ±5% tolerance, verified at 10.5 mA test current per the official SM Semiconductors datasheet. This tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in overvoltage protection circuits where precise threshold control is required. The 'A' suffix in the family designation confirms the 5% tolerance grade, and this value is measured under standard 25 °C conditions.
What is the peak surge current rating for SMAJ4749E3/TR13 and how is it tested?
The SMAJ4749E3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (Izsm) of 190 A, measured using a 1/2 sine-wave pulse with 1/120 second duration at 25 °C ambient, per the manufacturer's test methodology. This rating reflects its ability to absorb transient energy from sources like inductive switching or lightning-induced surges without failure. The value is confirmed in Table 1 of the SMAJ4728A–SMAJ4751A datasheet.
Does SMAJ4749E3/TR13 meet RoHS and UL safety standards?
Yes, SMAJ4749E3/TR13 complies with RoHS directives via annealed matte-tin plating and meets UL94V-0 flammability requirements through its void-free thermosetting epoxy case. These certifications are explicitly stated in the mechanical data section of the official datasheet and validated for both leaded and RoHS-compliant versions. No additional qualification testing is needed for standard compliance use cases.
What is the maximum regulator current (IZM) for SMAJ4749E3/TR13 at elevated temperature?
The SMAJ4749E3/TR13 supports a maximum regulator current (IZM) of 76 mA at 100 °C case temperature, as specified in Table 1 of the datasheet. This derated current reflects thermal limitations under sustained DC bias and is critical for designing continuous regulation circuits. At 25 °C, IZM is higher (105 mA), but system-level thermal modeling must account for the 25 °C/W junction-to-lead resistance to avoid exceeding TJ = 150 °C.
How is polarity identified on SMAJ4749E3/TR13, and what is its pin configuration?
Polarity on SMAJ4749E3/TR13 is indicated by a cathode band on the body, consistent with standard diode marking conventions. The device has two terminals: cathode (banded end) and anode (unbanded end). In TVS operation, the cathode connects to the protected line and the anode to ground. This unidirectional configuration is confirmed in the mechanical drawings and application notes for the SMAJ family.
