Product details
Overview
SMAJ4753E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 36 V, 5% tolerance, 2 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 125 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C and 125 mA surge current, used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in power supply rails and I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4753E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4753E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4753E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4753E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical compatibility, and 2 W steady-state power dissipation under defined PCB pad conditions.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. It exhibits a sharp knee impedance of 50 Ω at 0.25 mA test current and dynamic impedance of 50 Ω at 7.0 mA nominal zener current, with specified reverse leakage ≤5 µA at 27.4 V.
Designed for surface-mount assembly with flame-retardant UL94V-0 epoxy housing, it supports soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds and features cathode band polarity indication per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 terminal solderability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36 V ±5% - precise regulation point at 7.0 mA test current, verified at thermal equilibrium |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - achievable only when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal, derated linearly above 100°C |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 50 mA at TL = 100°C - maximum continuous DC current before thermal runaway |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 50 Ω @ 7.0 mA - low AC impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA @ 27.4 V - guarantees low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Current (IS) | 125 mA - peak non-repetitive current capability for transient overvoltage clamping |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25°C/W - junction-to-lead thermal path enables predictable temperature rise under 2 W operation |
Pinout & Package

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 36 V ±5%, 1 W rating; no UL94V-0 epoxy | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts or automated reflow | Select when legacy board repair or prototyping with breadboard-compatible leads is required |
| MMSZ4708T1G | SOD-123 package; 36 V ±5%, 500 mW rating; ZZT = 100 Ω @ 5 mA; RθJL = 300°C/W | Limited to low-power biasing due to 0.5 W rating; higher impedance reduces regulation accuracy | Select only for space-constrained, low-current (<10 mA) reference applications where thermal margin is not critical |
Compared with SMAJ4753E3/TR13, 1N4753A offers identical electrical specs but requires manual or wave-solder assembly, while MMSZ4708T1G sacrifices power handling and regulation precision for ultra-small footprint-neither is pin-compatible, and both demand layout revision.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4753E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4753E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 36 V with a ±5% tolerance, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This tolerance applies at thermal equilibrium (90 seconds after dc current application) and is verified at 7.0 mA test current. The 'E3' suffix denotes this 5% grade; no suffix indicates 10%, 'C' is 2%, and 'D' is 1%.
Can SMAJ4753E3/TR13 be used in place of 1N4753A?
Yes, SMAJ4753E3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N4753A per the datasheet note stating "Electrically Equivalent to JEDEC Registered 1N4728A thru 1N4764A." However, SMAJ4753E3/TR13 uses a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package versus DO-41 through-hole, so PCB layout and assembly process must be adapted accordingly.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4753E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4753E3/TR13 is rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal. Power must be derated linearly above 100°C lead temperature, reaching zero at 150°C. This rating assumes proper thermal management per Note 2 and Note 3 in the Maximum Ratings table.
How is polarity identified on SMAJ4753E3/TR13?
Polarity on SMAJ4753E3/TR13 is indicated by a molded cathode band on the body of the DO-214AC package. The banded end is the cathode terminal, which connects to the higher-potential node in reverse-biased Zener operation. This marking complies with JEDEC standards and is visible under standard optical inspection.
What is the surge current rating for SMAJ4753E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4753E3/TR13 has a maximum surge current (IS) rating of 125 mA, measured using a ½ sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating applies to non-repetitive transient events such as ESD or load dump, and is distinct from the 50 mA maximum regulator current (IZM) at 100°C.
