Product details
Overview
SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 36 V, 2 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 125 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C case temperature, with 50 Ω dynamic impedance at 7.0 mA test current, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2%), surge current capability (125 A), thermal resistance (25°C/W), and JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical compatibility.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and line conditions. It features a sharp knee characteristic verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement per Note 2, and supports high-energy transient suppression via ½-sine wave surge testing per Note 3.
Designed for surface-mount assembly with flame-retardant UL94V-0 epoxy, it uses a cathode band for polarity identification and complies with MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements. Maximum junction temperature is 150°C with derating linearly from 100°C.

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; 5% voltage tolerance; same 36 V nominal rating | Requires PCB through-hole rework; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual prototyping is required |
| BZX84-C36 | SOT-23 package; 36 V ±5%; 300 mW power rating; higher ZZT (90 Ω) | Limited to low-power biasing; insufficient for 2 W regulation or surge clamping | Select only for space-constrained low-current references, not for power regulation |
Compared with SMAJ4753CE3/TR13, 1N4753A offers identical electrical specs but requires board redesign for through-hole mounting, while BZX84-C36 sacrifices power handling and regulation precision for miniaturization-neither is pin-compatible, and both demand careful thermal and layout reassessment.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4753CE3/TR13?
The 'C' suffix in SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 denotes a ±2% Zener voltage tolerance at 36 V nominal, verified per Microsemi's dual-point impedance test method (Note 2). This tighter tolerance improves regulation accuracy in closed-loop feedback circuits compared to standard 5% or 10% variants like SMAJ4753A or SMAJ4753.
Does SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 support high-surge transient suppression?
Yes, SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 is rated for 125 A peak surge current using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration (per Note 3), making it suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transient suppression. Its 2 W steady-state power rating ensures sustained clamping without thermal runaway.
What is the thermal resistance of SMAJ4753CE3/TR13, and how is it measured?
SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25°C/W, measured with the device mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per Note 3. This value enables direct calculation of junction temperature rise above lead temperature, supporting thermal design validation in compact power layouts.
Is SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 compatible with standard DO-214AC footprints?
Yes, SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 uses the JEDEC DO-214AC (SMA) package with documented dimensions matching industry-standard SMA land patterns. Note 1 confirms its mechanical similarity to DO-214AC, though maximum dimension 'A' (2.92 mm) exceeds the standard JEDEC callout (2.66 mm) slightly-verify pad clearance in high-density layouts.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMAJ4753CE3/TR13?
SMAJ4753CE3/TR13 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA at 27.4 V (75% of VZ), per the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on monitoring circuits.
