Product details
Overview
SMAJ4757E3/TR13 from Vishay Semiconductor is a 2 W, 51 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 90 A peak surge current and 36 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, used for overvoltage protection and voltage regulation in power supply rails and I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4757E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4757E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4757E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4757E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), steady-state power dissipation (2.0 W), and compliance with JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical standards.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to clamp transient voltages and regulate DC reference levels. Its 51 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5.0 mA test current with 95 Ω dynamic impedance, and it maintains stable regulation across -55°C to +150°C operating temperature range.
The device features a cathode band polarity indicator, meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements, and is rated for 260°C/10 s reflow. It delivers 90 A surge current capability under 1/120 sec half-sine waveform conditions per JEDEC test method.

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 ±5% zener voltage, but in DO-41 through-hole package; higher RθJA (~65°C/W) | Requires PCB through-hole layout; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select SMAJ4757E3/TR13 for surface-mount production and thermal performance; choose 1N4757A only for legacy through-hole repair. |
| BZX84-C51 | 51 V ±5% in SOT-23; lower 300 mW power rating and 20 A surge rating | Limited to low-energy signal-line protection; cannot replace SMAJ4757E3/TR13 in power rail clamping | Use BZX84-C51 for space-constrained logic-level clamping; retain SMAJ4757E3/TR13 for 2 W/90 A primary protection. |
Compared with 1N4757A and BZX84-C51, SMAJ4757E3/TR13 uniquely combines surface-mount DO-214AC packaging, 2 W power handling, and 90 A surge capability-making it the only suitable option for industrial-grade 24–48 V DC rail protection where thermal management and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4757E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4757E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 51 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed by its "A" suffix per Vishay's part numbering convention. This tolerance applies at 25°C under 5.0 mA test current and remains stable across its -55°C to +150°C operating range. The SMAJ4757E3/TR13 does not carry tighter tolerance suffixes (e.g., "C" for ±2% or "D" for ±1%).
Is SMAJ4757E3/TR13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SMAJ4757E3/TR13 supports lead-free reflow with a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds, per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. Its DO-214AC package uses solderable terminations qualified for standard Pb-free profiles. The SMAJ4757E3/TR13 must be mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal to maintain thermal performance and avoid exceeding 2.0 W derating limits.
How does the surge current rating of SMAJ4757E3/TR13 compare to similar Zeners?
SMAJ4757E3/TR13 delivers 90 A peak surge current under JEDEC-standard 1/120 second half-sine waveform testing-significantly higher than SOT-23 Zeners like BZX84-C51 (20 A) and comparable to other DO-214AC 2 W devices. This rating enables SMAJ4757E3/TR13 to absorb IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges without degradation, making it suitable for primary-stage protection in 24 V industrial systems.
Can SMAJ4757E3/TR13 be used as a voltage reference in precision circuits?
SMAJ4757E3/TR13 is optimized for clamping and regulation-not precision referencing. Its 95 Ω dynamic impedance and ±5% tolerance limit accuracy in reference applications. For stable references, use dedicated low-drift IC references. However, SMAJ4757E3/TR13 can serve as a coarse 51 V reference in non-critical bias networks where cost and surge immunity outweigh precision needs.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for SMAJ4757E3/TR13 at its rated test voltage?
At 38.8 V (the specified test voltage VR), SMAJ4757E3/TR13 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in standby operation and prevents false triggering in high-impedance sensing circuits. The value is measured at 25°C and remains within specification across the full -55°C to +150°C operating range.
