Product details
Overview
SMAJ4754E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 2 W surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 39 V ±5%, 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 6.5 mA test current, and 115 mA peak surge current rating. It operates from –55°C to +150°C and is used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4754E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4754E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4754E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4754E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), steady-state power dissipation (2.0 W), and DO-214AC package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision shunt regulator by maintaining a stable 39 V reference across its terminals when reverse-biased above its breakdown threshold. Its 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 6.5 mA ensures low output voltage variation under load changes, and its 115 mA surge rating supports transient suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3.
The SMAJ4754E3/TR13 uses a planar-diffused junction structure in a DO-214AC (SMAJ) package with cathode band polarity marking. It meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and is rated for 260°C/10 s reflow, making it suitable for high-reliability PCB assembly without derating below 100°C.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% - stable regulation point at 6.5 mA, usable for 3.3–48 V system rail clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - requires 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal for full thermal rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 60 Ω @ 6.5 mA - limits output voltage shift to ≤390 mV for ±10 mA load change |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4754A | Same 39 V ±5% zener voltage and 2 W rating, but in DO-41 through-hole package | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; not suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or manual prototyping is required |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 39 V ±5%, but 500 mW power rating and SOD-123 package; 100 Ω ZZT vs. 60 Ω | Limited to low-energy clamping; insufficient for 115 mA surge events | Select only for space-constrained, low-power bias/reference use - not for transient suppression |
Compared with 1N4754A and MMSZ5245B-TP, the SMAJ4754E3/TR13 uniquely delivers 2 W SMT-compatible Zener regulation with verified 115 mA surge capacity and DO-214AC mechanical robustness - critical for industrial and automotive power rail protection where thermal margin and board-level reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4754E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4754E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 39 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the absence of a tolerance suffix (e.g., 'C' for ±2% or 'D' for ±1%). This tolerance is specified at thermal equilibrium after 90 seconds of dc current application and applies across the full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. The SMAJ4754E3/TR13 maintains this tolerance without requiring external trimming or calibration.
Can SMAJ4754E3/TR13 replace 1N4754A in existing designs?
Yes, the SMAJ4754E3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to the 1N4754A per manufacturer documentation, sharing identical zener voltage (39 V ±5%), test current (6.5 mA), dynamic impedance (60 Ω), and power rating (2 W). However, the SMAJ4754E3/TR13 uses a DO-214AC surface-mount package versus the DO-41 through-hole package of the 1N4754A, so PCB layout and assembly process must be updated accordingly.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4754E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4754E3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (IS) of 115 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave or equivalent sine wave pulse with 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design - specifically, mounting on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal - and is validated per industry-standard transient testing methods defined in the datasheet.
Is SMAJ4754E3/TR13 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the SMAJ4754E3/TR13 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The device uses lead-free matte tin plating on terminals and UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy encapsulation. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics for qualifying customers.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for SMAJ4754E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4754E3/TR13 has a thermal resistance of 25°C/W from junction to lead (RθJL), measured under standard conditions with 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal. This value enables full 2.0 W power dissipation up to 100°C lead temperature, with linear derating to zero power at 150°C. Exceeding the recommended pad area or using thinner copper will increase RθJL and reduce safe operating power.
