Product details
Overview
SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 2 W, 75 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 60 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C lead temperature and 2000 mA peak surge current, used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails and transient suppression circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25°C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, JEDEC-compliant DO-214AC surface-mount footprint, and 100°C derated power dissipation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its 75 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 3.3 mA test current with 175 Ω dynamic impedance at that point, and it exhibits 0.25 mA maximum reverse leakage at 56.0 V test voltage.
The device supports high-energy transient suppression via 2000 mA peak surge current rating (½-sine wave, 1/120 s), and its thermal design relies on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal to achieve 25°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, enabling reliable operation from –55°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V ±5% at IZT = 3.3 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W at TL ≤ 100°C - requires thermal pad layout per datasheet to sustain full rating |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 175 Ω @ 3.3 mA - indicates voltage regulation stability under small-signal AC variation |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 2000 mA (½-sine, 1/120 s) - enables robust ESD/EMP transient absorption without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 µA @ 56.0 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - surface-mount outline with flat handling surface and cathode band polarity mark |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4761A | Same 75 V ±5%, 2 W rating, but in DO-41 through-hole package | Requires PCB through-hole mounting and wave soldering; not suitable for SMT-only lines | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher mechanical robustness under vibration is required |
| MMSZ4715T1G | 75 V ±5%, 500 mW rating in SOD-123; 10× smaller footprint, lower surge capability (500 mA) | Not suitable for 2 W continuous or 2000 mA surge duty; limited thermal mass | Select only for space-constrained low-power bias references where surge immunity is secondary |
Compared with 1N4761A and MMSZ4715T1G, SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 uniquely delivers surface-mount 2 W power handling with 2000 mA surge capacity in a JEDEC-standardized SMA outline-making it the only option among the three for high-reliability SMT power rail clamping.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4761AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This tolerance applies at the specified test current of 3.3 mA and is measured at thermal equilibrium. No suffix denotes the ±5% grade; tighter tolerances (e.g., 2% or 1%) would be indicated by 'C' or 'D' suffixes, which SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 does not carry.
Can SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 replace 1N4761A in existing designs?
SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 provides identical electrical specifications (75 V ±5%, 2 W, same Zener characteristics) as 1N4761A but in a DO-214AC surface-mount package instead of DO-41 through-hole. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign to accommodate the SMA footprint and reflow process. The SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 cannot be used as a drop-in substitute without layout changes, though it serves the same functional role in voltage regulation and clamping circuits.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4761AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 2.0 W, valid only when the lead temperature (TL) is held at or below 100°C. Above 100°C, power must be linearly derated to zero at 150°C. This rating assumes mounting on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal, as defined in Note 2 of the Maximum Ratings table in the original MSC0284A datasheet.
Does SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 meet UL94V-0 flammability requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 uses flame-retardant epoxy encapsulation meeting UL94V-0, as explicitly stated in the Mechanical Data section. This qualification supports use in safety-critical applications including industrial controls and telecom infrastructure where material flammability compliance is mandated.
What is the peak surge current rating for SMAJ4761AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4761AE3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (IS) of 2000 mA, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient, as documented in Table 1 of the datasheet. This rating reflects its capability to absorb high-energy transients such as those defined in IEC 61000-4-5 without parametric shift or failure.
