Product details
Overview
SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 47 V, 5% tolerance, 2 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 35.8 V minimum reverse breakdown at 5.5 mA test current, 80 Ω dynamic impedance, and 95 A peak surge current - used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, surge current capability, thermal resistance (25°C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, and JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical compatibility.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference and transient clamp by maintaining stable reverse breakdown across its specified current range (5.5 mA IZT, 0.25 mA IZK). Its 80 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT ensures low regulation error under load variation.
Designed for surface-mount assembly with flat handling surface and UL94V-0 flame-retardant epoxy, it supports soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds and exhibits full operational range from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% - defines nominal regulation point under 5.5 mA DC bias |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5.5 mA - required DC current to achieve specified VZ at thermal equilibrium |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω - small-signal AC resistance affecting regulation accuracy under varying load |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 95 A - maximum non-repetitive 1/120 sec half-sine pulse the device withstands without failure |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - steady-state DC power limit when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJL) | 25°C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance determining temperature rise under power dissipation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max @ 35.8 V - ensures minimal standby current in clamping applications |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package with molded plastic body, cathode indicated by a single band near one end. Dimensions conform to JEDEC standard except maximum length (0.115″ vs. standard 0.105″), enabling reliable pick-and-place placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated rail; carries forward current during non-clamping state |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal | Marked with band; connected to higher-potential side; conducts when reverse voltage exceeds 47 V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4756A | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical 47 V ±5%, 2 W rating, same electrical specs | Requires through-hole assembly; not suitable for SMT-only production | Select when legacy through-hole design or manual prototyping is required |
| SMLJ4756A | Same Zener voltage and tolerance, but 3 W power rating and DO-214AB (SMB) package | Higher power handling and larger footprint; requires PCB layout change | Select when >2 W surge energy absorption or extended thermal margin is needed |
Compared with SMAJ4756AE3/TR13, 1N4756A offers identical regulation performance but mandates through-hole mounting, while SMLJ4756A provides higher surge robustness at the cost of larger footprint and revised thermal path - choice depends on assembly method and power derating requirements.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4756AE3/TR13?
SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 47 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 44.65 V and 49.35 V at 5.5 mA test current and 25°C. This tolerance is confirmed in the manufacturer's datasheet MSC0284A and applies to all units marked "SMAJ4756A" without additional suffixes.
Does SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 supports lead-free reflow soldering with a maximum temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds, as specified in the mechanical data section of the datasheet. Its DO-214AC package and UL94V-0 epoxy meet IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for standard SMT processes.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4756AE3/TR13?
The maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 is 2.0 W at 25°C ambient, measured 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, per Note 3 in the Maximum Ratings table.
How is polarity indicated on SMAJ4756AE3/TR13?
Polarity on SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 is indicated by a single cathode band located near one end of the DO-214AC package body. The banded end is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-214AC standard and is visible under standard optical inspection.
What surge current rating does SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 have?
SMAJ4756AE3/TR13 has a peak surge current rating of 95 A, measured using a 1/120 second half-sine wave pulse at 25°C ambient. This value reflects non-repetitive transient energy absorption capability and is validated per Note 3 in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
