Product details
Overview
SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 2 W surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 36 V ±5%, 50 Ω dynamic impedance at 7 mA test current, and 125 mA maximum surge current. It serves as a precision voltage regulator or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and transient protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), DO-214AC package compatibility, and 100°C derated power handling.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 36 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 7 mA test current (IZT) with 50 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), ensuring predictable regulation within ±5% tolerance.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on PCBs with 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal, it supports steady-state dissipation of 2.0 W at 25°C, derating linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature. Polarity is marked by a cathode band, and soldering must not exceed 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±5% at IZT = 7 mA - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W at 25°C on 4.0 mm² pads - sets maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 50 Ω at IZT = 7 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC variation |
| Surge Current (IS) | 125 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - defines single-pulse transient energy absorption capability |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - specifies operational and storage limits for industrial environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25°C/W - determines temperature rise above pad temperature per watt dissipated |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4753A | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical electrical specs (36 V ±5%, 2 W, 50 Ω ZZT) | Requires PCB through-hole layout; unsuitable for high-density SMT assemblies | Select when legacy through-hole manufacturing or manual prototyping is used |
| BZX84-C36 | SOT-23 package; 36 V ±5%, 300 mW PAV, 90 Ω ZZT - lower power and higher impedance | Limited to low-current references (<20 mA); cannot replace SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 in 2 W clamping roles | Select only for space-constrained, low-power biasing where 300 mW suffices |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4753AE3/TR13?
SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 36 V with a ±5% tolerance, as indicated by the absence of a tolerance suffix ('C' = ±2%, 'D' = ±1%). This tolerance applies at thermal equilibrium after 90 seconds of DC current application, per datasheet note 4.
Does SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 support automated optical inspection (AOI) after reflow?
Yes, SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 features a flat handling surface and cathode band marking compatible with standard AOI systems. Its DO-214AC package geometry and consistent band contrast enable reliable post-reflow defect detection for solder joint integrity and polarity verification.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for SMAJ4753AE3/TR13?
The maximum soldering temperature for SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 is 260°C for no more than 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Exceeding this limit risks epoxy degradation, bond wire damage, or parametric shift in zener voltage and dynamic impedance.
How does the thermal resistance of SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 affect its power derating?
With a thermal resistance RθJL of 25°C/W, SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 rises 25°C above pad temperature per watt dissipated. Its 2.0 W rating at 25°C derates linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature, requiring ≥100°C pad temperature margin for full-power operation in 50°C ambient designs.
Is SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 electrically equivalent to any industry-standard part?
Yes, SMAJ4753AE3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to the JEDEC-registered 1N4753A Zener diode, matching its 36 V ±5% zener voltage, 2 W power rating, and 50 Ω dynamic impedance at 7 mA. The primary difference is package type: DO-214AC (SMAJ) vs. DO-41.
