Product details
Overview
SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor is a 27.0 V, ±2% tolerance Zener diode transient voltage suppressor in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 68 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, and 170 mA peak surge current, used for overvoltage protection of I/O lines and signal paths in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), reverse leakage (≤5 µA at 20.6 V), surge capability (170 mA), and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage-clamping Zener diode with sharp breakdown knee (IZK = 0.25 mA), designed for unidirectional transient suppression in low-energy signal lines. Its 27.0 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified at 9.5 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of 35 Ω at IZT and knee impedance of 750 Ω at IZK.
The SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 features a void-free thermosetting epoxy case (UL94V-0), cathode band polarity marking, and 0.3 g mass. It maintains regulation across -65°C to +150°C operating temperature range and delivers stable clamping under repetitive surge conditions per 1/2-sine wave pulse (1/120 s duration).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27.0 V ±2% at 9.5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for signal line protection |

Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Protection | Automotive Body Control Module I/O |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 0–10 V analog output lines of pressure/temperature sensors from ESD and load-dump induced spikes in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional voltage clamp placed between sensor output and ADC input, limiting transient excursions to ≤27.0 V.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff protector on microcontroller I/O lines, activated only during >20.6 V events to avoid false triggering. Use Value: Enables robust 12 V system interoperability without adding series resistance or degrading rise/fall times. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Computer Peripheral USB Data Lines |
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceiver inputs from lightning-induced surges on outdoor telecom backhaul links. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping element in multi-stage protection network, absorbing first 170 mA surge pulse before TVS array engages. Use Value: Extends system-level surge immunity to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 kV) without increasing board area. | Use Scenario: Suppressing ESD events on USB 2.0 D+/D− lines in docking stations and hub controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance Zener clamp (typical Cj ≈ 50 pF) placed directly at connector, shunting >8 kV HBM transients.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener-based transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4750A | Same 27 V nominal voltage but ±5% tolerance; DO-41 axial package; higher RθJA (65°C/W) | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board space; less precise clamping threshold | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and SMT density requirements |
| SMBJ27CA | Bidirectional 27 V TVS; 600 W peak power; SMA package; 100 A surge rating | Handles both polarities of transients; suited for AC-coupled or floating lines | Choose for differential signal pairs or where reverse polarity events are expected |
Compared with 1N4750A and SMBJ27CA, the SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 offers tighter voltage tolerance and optimized thermal path for SMT signal-line protection, whereas 1N4750A trades precision for legacy through-hole compatibility and SMBJ27CA provides higher surge capacity at the expense of unidirectional operation.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4750CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 has a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, confirmed by the 'C' suffix in its part number per the manufacturer's documentation. This means its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 26.46 V and 27.54 V at 9.5 mA test current. The SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 achieves this tighter tolerance via post-package sorting and screening, distinguishing it from ±5% (A-suffix) or ±10% (no suffix) variants in the same family.
Does SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 is a unidirectional Zener diode, configured for single-polarity clamping with cathode as the protected node. It does not suppress negative-going transients beyond its forward voltage (~1.2 V). For bidirectional protection, a dual-diode configuration or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ27CA is required. The SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 datasheet explicitly specifies unidirectional operation and cathode-band polarity marking.
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage (VR) before significant leakage occurs in SMAJ4750CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 exhibits ≤5 µA reverse leakage current when biased at 20.6 V, which is 76% of its nominal 27.0 V Zener voltage. This VR value is defined in the Electrical Characteristics table as the reverse voltage at which IR is measured. Operating above 20.6 V risks exponential leakage growth and premature breakdown; therefore, 20.6 V serves as the practical upper limit for safe non-conducting bias in circuit design.
Can SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 be used in place of SMAJ4750A?
Yes, SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 can replace SMAJ4750A in most applications, but with improved voltage precision: SMAJ4750A has ±5% tolerance (25.65–28.35 V), while SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 tightens this to ±2% (26.46–27.54 V). Both share identical SMA package, thermal specs, and surge ratings. The SMAJ4750CE3/TR13 is a direct functional upgrade where tighter clamping accuracy is needed without layout changes.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SMAJ4750CE3/TR13?
The datasheet specifies only junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL = 25°C/W) for SMAJ4750CE3/TR13-not junction-to-ambient-because its performance depends heavily on PCB copper area and layout. Typical RθJA values range from 150°C/W (minimal pad) to 60°C/W (2 cm² 2-oz copper pour). Engineers must calculate actual junction temperature using measured lead temperature and RθJL, not assumed RθJA, to ensure reliability under 2.0 W steady-state load.
