Product details
Overview
SMAJ4761E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 2 W surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 75 V ±5%, 3.3 mA test current, 175 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 24 mA maximum regulator current at TL = 100°C, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4761E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4761E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4761E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4761E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener tolerance (±5%), surge current rating (60 A), thermal resistance (25°C/W), DO-214AC package compatibility, and JEDEC 1N47xxA electrical equivalence.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and line conditions. It features a sharp knee characteristic verified by dual-point ZZK measurement at 0.25 mA and exhibits low dynamic impedance (175 Ω) at 3.3 mA test current, ensuring tight regulation in feedback loops.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs with 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal, it supports steady-state dissipation of 2.0 W at 25°C with linear derating to zero at 150°C junction temperature and withstands 60 A non-repetitive surge current per 1/120-second half-sine pulse.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4761E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4761E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as indicated by the absence of a suffix letter in the part number. This tolerance is verified at thermal equilibrium (90 seconds after dc current application) and applies across the full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. The SMAJ4761E3/TR13 meets this specification under standard test conditions defined in MSC0284A.PDF.
Does SMAJ4761E3/TR13 support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, SMAJ4761E3/TR13 is designed for automated surface-mount assembly. Its DO-214AC (SMAJ) package features a flat handling surface that ensures coplanarity and accurate placement on pick-and-place machines. The device is supplied on tape and reel (TR13 designation), and its terminals meet MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements. Reflow profiles must limit peak temperature to 260°C for no more than 10 seconds.
How does the thermal resistance of SMAJ4761E3/TR13 affect PCB layout?
The SMAJ4761E3/TR13 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 25°C/W, measured with 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal. To achieve rated 2.0 W power dissipation at 25°C, each pad must be ≥2.0 mm × 2.0 mm with internal or external thermal vias. Layouts using smaller pads require linear derating above 100°C lead temperature, reaching zero power at 150°C junction temperature.
Is SMAJ4761E3/TR13 electrically equivalent to any through-hole Zener diode?
Yes, SMAJ4761E3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to the through-hole 1N4761A Zener diode, sharing identical zener voltage (75 V ±5%), test current (3.3 mA), dynamic impedance (175 Ω), and maximum regulator current (24 mA). Both comply with JEDEC standards, though SMAJ4761E3/TR13 offers improved thermal performance (25°C/W vs. 50°C/W) and surface-mount compatibility.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4761E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4761E3/TR13 has a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current (IS) rating of 60 A, measured using a 1/120-second half-sine wave pulse at 25°C ambient. This rating applies to transient events such as ESD, inductive switching spikes, or load-dump surges. The device maintains parameter integrity after such events when operated within its steady-state power and temperature limits.
