Product details
Overview
SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 2 W surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 43 V ±5%, 70 Ω dynamic impedance at 6 mA test current, and 110 mA peak surge current capability. It serves as a precision voltage regulator or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and transient protection circuits for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC package compatibility, 43 V regulation tolerance, thermal resistance of 25°C/W, and UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy construction for reliable surface-mount deployment.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations and line transients. Its 43 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 6 mA test current (IZT), with 70 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) confirming low AC voltage variation under regulation.
Designed for surge immunity, it withstands 110 mA non-repetitive peak surge current (IS) per 1/120 s half-sine pulse and supports continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, enabled by 25°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V ±5% at IZT = 6 mA - defines regulated output voltage under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - maximum steady-state power at TL ≤ 100°C, derated linearly to zero at 150°C |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ IZT = 6 mA - indicates small-signal AC voltage stability during regulation |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 110 mA - maximum non-repetitive transient current for 1/120 s pulse, critical for ESD/surge clamping |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25°C/W - quantifies heat transfer efficiency from junction to lead, dependent on PCB copper pad area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4755A | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical 43 V ±5% VZ, 2 W rating, and electrical specs | Requires PCB layout change from SMT to through-hole; not suitable for automated assembly | Select when legacy board repair or hand-soldered prototyping is required |
| MMSZ43ET1G | SOD-123 package; same 43 V ±5% VZ but lower 500 mW power rating and 100 mA IS | Lower power handling limits use to signal-level clamping, not power rail regulation | Select only for low-power bias/reference where 2 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with SMAJ4755AE3/TR13, the 1N4755A offers identical regulation performance but requires manual assembly, while the MMSZ43ET1G reduces footprint and cost at the expense of power handling-making SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 optimal for 2 W SMT voltage regulation in industrial and automotive systems.

Does SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 supports lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its DO-214AC package and UL94V-0 epoxy ensure reliability under standard Pb-free thermal profiles used in modern SMT assembly lines.
What is the maximum continuous zener current for SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 at 100°C lead temperature?
The maximum regulator current (IZM) for SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 is 44 mA when lead temperature (TL) is maintained at 100°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value decreases linearly to zero at 150°C, based on the 25°C/W thermal resistance and 2.0 W power rating.
Is SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 electrically equivalent to any through-hole Zener diodes?
Yes, SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to the through-hole 1N4755A per manufacturer documentation, sharing identical zener voltage (43 V ±5%), dynamic impedance (70 Ω), power rating (2 W), and thermal specifications. This equivalence enables drop-in functional replacement in redesigns transitioning from through-hole to surface-mount layouts.
What is the peak surge current rating of SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 and how is it measured?
The peak surge current (IS) of SMAJ4755AE3/TR13 is 110 mA, measured using a 1/120 second duration half-sine wave or equivalent pulse at 25°C ambient. This rating reflects non-repetitive transient energy absorption capability and is validated per the test method described in Note 3 of the datasheet.
