Product details
Overview
SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a 2 W surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 43 V ±2%, 70 Ω dynamic impedance at 6 mA test current, and 110 mA peak surge current capability; used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails and analog reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener tolerance (±2%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), steady-state power rating (2.0 W), and DO-214AC package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at 43 V with sharp knee characteristics verified by dual-point ZZK and ZZT measurement per Note 2. It maintains regulation under transient surges up to 110 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) and supports continuous dissipation of 2.0 W when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads.
The SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 exhibits a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 32.7 V test voltage and a forward voltage of 1.2 V at 200 mA, enabling bidirectional protection and low-loss forward conduction where needed. Its -55°C to +150°C operating range and UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy housing suit industrial and automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Test Current (IZT) | 6.0 mA - standard bias point for specifying regulation accuracy and impedance |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ 6 mA - low AC impedance ensures stable regulation under small-signal ripple |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 110 mA - withstands short-duration transients without degradation |
| Steady-State Power (PAV) | 2.0 W - requires 4.0 mm² copper pad per terminal for full rating |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25°C/W - enables thermal design with known junction-to-lead delta under load |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 5 µA @ 32.7 V - minimal leakage below knee voltage preserves system efficiency |

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; ±5% tolerance; same 43 V nominal rating | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or prototyping on breadboard/perfboard is required |
| BZX84-C43 | SOT-23 package; ±5% tolerance; 300 mW power rating; 43 V nominal | Limited to low-energy transients; not rated for 2 W continuous or 110 mA surge | Select only for space-constrained, low-power signal-level clamping-not for power rail protection |
Compared with 1N4755A and BZX84-C43, the SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 delivers superior surge robustness (110 mA vs. ~50 mA), tighter tolerance (±2% vs. ±5%), and SMT scalability-making it optimal for production-grade 48 V industrial systems requiring long-term reliability and automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4755CE3/TR13?
The 'C' suffix in SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 denotes a ±2% zener voltage tolerance at 25°C, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 42.14 V and 43.86 V under specified test conditions. This tighter tolerance improves regulation accuracy compared to standard ±5% Zeners like the SMAJ4755A, making SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 suitable for applications demanding precise voltage clamping without additional trimming circuitry.
Can SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 replace SMAJ4755A in existing designs?
Yes, SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 is a direct functional replacement for SMAJ4755A with identical DO-214AC package, pinout, and thermal profile-but offers improved ±2% voltage tolerance versus ±5%. No PCB layout changes are required. However, designers should verify that the tighter tolerance does not cause unintended interaction with adjacent regulation thresholds in multi-Zener schemes.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4755CE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 has a rated steady-state power dissipation of 2.0 W at 25°C ambient, derating linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature. Full power operation requires mounting on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal per the datasheet; using smaller pads reduces allowable power and increases thermal resistance beyond the specified 25°C/W.
How is polarity marked on SMAJ4755CE3/TR13?
Polarity on SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 is indicated by a single black cathode band located near one end of the DO-214AC package. The terminal adjacent to the band is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-214AC standards and is visible under standard optical inspection during SMT placement verification.
Does SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 meet any safety certifications?
Yes, SMAJ4755CE3/TR13 uses UL94V-0 rated flame-retardant epoxy encapsulation, satisfying flammability requirements for end equipment in industrial and medical applications. It also complies with MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for solderability and supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds-enabling RoHS-compliant manufacturing without derating.
