Product details
Overview
SMAJ4755E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 2 W, 43 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 110 mA peak surge current and 44 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails and interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4755E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4755E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4755E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4755E3/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 UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy compliance.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under regulated current conditions. It features a sharp knee impedance (ZZK = 1500 Ω @ IZK = 0.25 mA) and low dynamic impedance (ZZT = 70 Ω @ IZT = 6.0 mA), enabling precise clamping in transient suppression and feedback loops.
Designed for surface-mount assembly with flat handling surface and MIL-STD-750 solderability, it supports reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds and operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range with derating above 100°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 43 V ±5% - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference stability |
| Test Current (IZT) | 6.0 mA - operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified; sets minimum bias for regulation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω @ 6.0 mA - determines voltage deviation under load variation; critical for tight-tolerance regulation |
| Max Regulator Current (IZM) | 44 mA @ TL = 100°C - maximum continuous DC current before thermal derating begins |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 110 mA - ½-sine wave rating for transient energy absorption (1/120 s duration) |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - steady-state limit on 4.0 mm² copper pads; requires thermal pad layout per datasheet |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with molded plastic body, cathode band marking on one end, and two terminals: anode (unmarked end) and cathode (banded end). Polarity must be observed during PCB layout to ensure correct reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to lower potential node; carries forward current when biased < 1.2 V |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / high-side connection | Connected to higher potential node; conducts in reverse when voltage exceeds 43 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical compatibility | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 1N47xxA parts and standard SMT pick-and-place tooling |
| UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy | Meets safety requirements for consumer and industrial end equipment without additional conformal coating |
| High surge current rating (110 mA) | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surge immunity in secondary-side protection circuits |
| Sharp knee impedance (1500 Ω @ 0.25 mA) | Ensures predictable turn-on behavior at low bias, improving accuracy in precision reference applications |
Applications
| DC Power Rail Protection | Feedback Reference in SMPS |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, thermally stable voltage reference for sensor front-end circuitry. Use Value: Delivers <1.2 V forward drop and 25°C/W thermal resistance, minimizing self-heating drift in sealed enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4755A | Same 43 V ±5%, but in DO-41 through-hole package; higher RθJA (~65°C/W) | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when board space allows through-hole mounting and thermal management uses heatsinking rather than copper area |
| MMSZ43ET1G | 43 V ±5%, SOD-123 package; lower PAV (500 mW); ZZT = 90 Ω @ 5 mA | Lower power handling limits use to low-current references (<10 mA) and non-surge environments | Select when footprint size is critical and surge immunity is not required; verify thermal design for ambient >85°C |
Compared with 1N4755A and MMSZ43ET1G, SMAJ4755E3/TR13 uniquely balances 2 W power dissipation, DO-214AC SMT compatibility, and 110 mA surge capability-making it optimal for industrial power rail protection where both density and robustness are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4755E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4755E3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 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 applies at thermal equilibrium after 90 seconds of DC current application, per datasheet Note 4.
Is SMAJ4755E3/TR13 compatible with automated SMT assembly?
Yes, SMAJ4755E3/TR13 is fully compatible with automated SMT assembly. Its DO-214AC (SMA) package features a flat handling surface for accurate placement, meets MIL-STD-750 solderability standards, and supports reflow profiles up to 260°C for 10 seconds-matching industry-standard lead-free processes.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4755E3/TR13?
The maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4755E3/TR13 is 2.0 W when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal. Power must be linearly derated above 100°C lead temperature, reaching zero at 150°C, as defined in Note 3 of the datasheet.
How does the knee impedance of SMAJ4755E3/TR13 affect its performance?
The knee impedance of SMAJ4755E3/TR13 is 1500 Ω measured at 0.25 mA test current (IZK). This low knee impedance ensures a sharp, well-defined breakdown onset-critical for stable regulation at light loads and improved noise rejection in precision reference circuits.
Can SMAJ4755E3/TR13 replace 1N4755A in existing designs?
SMAJ4755E3/TR13 provides electrical equivalence to 1N4755A per datasheet Note 5, but differs mechanically: SMAJ4755E3/TR13 uses DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount packaging versus DO-41 through-hole. PCB redesign is required; however, thermal and electrical behavior-including VZ, ZZT, and IS-is functionally matched.
