Product details
Overview
SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a 2 W surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 56 V ±5%, 4.5 mA test current, 110 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 80 A peak surge current capability. It serves as a precision voltage regulator or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails for industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC package compatibility, 56 V regulation tolerance, thermal resistance of 25 °C/W, and compliance with JEDEC 1N47xxA equivalents for legacy design migration.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations. Its 56 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 4.5 mA test current (IZT) with 110 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), ensuring predictable regulation under moderate current shifts.
It supports high-energy transient suppression with 80 A peak surge current (IS) per 1/120 s half-sine pulse and maintains operation from –55 °C to +150 °C. The device uses a cathode-band polarity indicator and meets MIL-STD-750 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Test Current (IZT) | 4.5 mA - standard bias point for voltage specification and impedance measurement |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 110 Ω @ IZT - low incremental resistance ensures minimal voltage shift under load changes |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 80 A - handles short-duration transients like ESD or inductive kickback |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - sustained regulation capability on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C - suitable for under-hood automotive or industrial ambient conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4758A | Through-hole DO-41 package; same 56 V ±5%, 4.5 mA IZT, 110 Ω ZZT, but 1 W power rating | Requires PCB redesign for leaded mounting; lower surge rating (40 A vs. 80 A) | Choose for cost-sensitive legacy repairs where SMT is unavailable |
| MMSZ5255B | SOD-123 package; 56 V ±5%, but only 0.5 W power rating and 300 Ω ZZT | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 2 W rail regulation | Choose only for space-constrained signal conditioning, not power rail stabilization |
Compared with 1N4758A and MMSZ5255B, SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 uniquely combines 2 W power handling, 80 A surge capability, and DO-214AC SMT compatibility-making it the sole option for high-reliability, surface-mount 56 V regulation in industrial power systems.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4758AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 56 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This tolerance applies at 25 °C with 4.5 mA test current (IZT). No suffix indicates 10% tolerance; the 'A' suffix in SMAJ4758A denotes 5%, and this is retained in the E3/TR13 variant. The SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 must be used within this 53.2–58.8 V window for compliant regulation.
Is SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 compatible with JEDEC 1N4758A in circuit design?
Yes, SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N4758A per the manufacturer's documentation, sharing identical zener voltage (56 V ±5%), test current (4.5 mA), and dynamic impedance (110 Ω). However, SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 uses DO-214AC packaging versus DO-41, so board layout must accommodate SMT footprints-not direct pin-for-pin replacement without adapter design.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4758AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 supports a peak surge current (IS) of 80 A, measured using a 1/120 second half-sine wave pulse at 25 °C ambient. This rating is validated per Note 3 in the datasheet and reflects capability to absorb transient energy from inductive loads or ESD events without parameter shift or failure.
Does SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 meet UL94V-0 flammability requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 uses flame-retardant epoxy conforming to UL94V-0, as stated in the Mechanical Data section. This certification confirms self-extinguishing behavior after ignition source removal-critical for use in enclosed industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs where fire safety compliance is mandated.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for SMAJ4758AE3/TR13?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for SMAJ4758AE3/TR13 is 25 °C/W, specified under Maximum Ratings with mounting on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal. This value defines the temperature rise from junction to lead under steady-state 2 W dissipation and informs heatsinking decisions in high-ambient environments.
