Product details
Overview
SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a 2 W surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 51 V ±2%, 5.0 mA test current, 95 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 0.25 mA maximum reverse leakage at 38.8 V. It is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% voltage tolerance, DO-214AC package thermal resistance (25°C/W), 1500 mA peak surge current rating, and cathode-band polarity marking for unambiguous PCB orientation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage across load circuits. Its 51 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5.0 mA (IZT) with 95 Ω dynamic impedance, ensuring stable regulation under moderate load variations.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs with 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal, it supports steady-state power dissipation of 2.0 W at TL ≤ 100°C and derates linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature, with maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V ±2% at 5.0 mA - enables precise 51 V rail clamping with tight tolerance for safety-critical regulation |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - requires 4.0 mm² copper pad per terminal for thermal management at full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 95 Ω at IZT = 5.0 mA - defines voltage deviation under small-signal load transients |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 1500 mA - withstands ½-sine 1/120 s surges common in automotive load-dump events |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA max at 38.8 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - supports operation in under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMAJ) surface-mount package with molded epoxy body, cathode band marking, and two terminals: anode and cathode. Polarity is unambiguously indicated by the cathode band; no internal circuitry or additional pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated node; carries forward current during non-regulation states |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential side; establishes 51 V reference when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter regulation margins than standard 5% parts, reducing need for post-regulation trimming |
| DO-214AC mechanical compatibility | Matches JEDEC DO-214AC footprint with extended dimension A (up to 2.92 mm), ensuring board-level interchangeability |
| 1500 mA peak surge rating | Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surge immunity without external series impedance |
| Cathode band polarity marking | Eliminates orientation errors during automated placement, critical for high-yield SMT manufacturing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4757A | Same 51 V nominal voltage but ±5% tolerance; DO-41 through-hole package | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; lacks surface-mount thermal performance | Select only if legacy through-hole assembly is mandated and ±5% regulation tolerance is acceptable |
| BZX84-C51 | 51 V ±5% in SOT-23; 300 mW power rating; 170 Ω ZZT | Insufficient for 2 W continuous dissipation; limited to low-power bias networks | Use only in space-constrained, low-current (<10 mA) reference applications where 2 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4757A and BZX84-C51, SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 delivers tighter ±2% voltage tolerance, 2 W power handling in a surface-mount DO-214AC package, and 1500 mA surge capability-making it uniquely suitable for industrial and automotive power-rail protection where precision, power, and ruggedness are jointly required.

SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 51 V with a ±2% tolerance, denoted by the 'C' suffix in the part number. This tighter tolerance is confirmed in the manufacturer's datasheet MSC0284A.PDF, Note 1, and distinguishes it from standard ±5% variants like SMAJ4757A. The 51 V specification is measured at 5.0 mA test current and thermal equilibrium conditions.
What package type does SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 use?
SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 uses the DO-214AC (SMAJ) surface-mount package, with mechanical dimensions conforming to JEDEC standards except for dimension 'A', which extends to 2.92 mm maximum. The package features a flat handling surface for accurate pick-and-place, cathode band polarity marking, and is rated for soldering at 260°C for 10 seconds per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4757CE3/TR13?
The maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 is 2.0 W at lead temperature ≤100°C, mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal. Power rating derates linearly to zero at 150°C junction temperature. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet MSC0284A.PDF and is critical for thermal layout validation.
How is polarity identified on SMAJ4757CE3/TR13?
Polarity on SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 is identified by a visible cathode band on the package body, consistent with industry-standard diode marking. The banded end is the cathode terminal, and the opposite end is the anode. This marking is explicitly stated in the Mechanical Data section of the datasheet and ensures correct orientation during automated SMT placement.
What is the peak surge current rating for SMAJ4757CE3/TR13?
SMAJ4757CE3/TR13 has a peak surge current rating of 1500 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave or equivalent sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient, as defined in Note 3 of the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating supports compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity testing for industrial and automotive applications.
