Product details
Overview
SMAJ4762E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a 2 W surface-mount silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 82 V ±5%, 3.0 mA test current, 200 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 55 A peak surge current capability. It serves as a precision voltage regulator or overvoltage clamp in DC power supply feedback loops and transient protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4762E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4762E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4762E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4762E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (25 °C/W), steady-state power dissipation (2.0 W), and DO-214AC package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under regulated current conditions. Its 82 V zener voltage is specified at 3.0 mA test current (IZT) and exhibits 200 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at that point, ensuring predictable regulation slope near the knee.
The SMAJ4762E3/TR13 supports high-energy transient suppression with a 55 A peak surge current rating (IS) per 1/120 s half-sine pulse, and maintains operation across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range while mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4762A | Same 82 V ±5% zener voltage, but through-hole DO-41 package; 1.0 W power rating | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; lower surge current (30 A vs. 55 A) | Select for cost-sensitive legacy repairs where SMT conversion is not feasible |
| BZX84-C82LT1G | 82 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 350 mW power rating, 10 A surge rating | Lower power and surge capability; unsuitable for 2 W continuous or high-energy clamping | Select only for low-power bias/reference use in space-constrained portable devices |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4762E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4762E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 82 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This tolerance applies under standard test conditions (25 °C, IZT = 3.0 mA). No suffix indicates 10% tolerance; the 'A' suffix in the part numbering denotes the ±5% grade, and SMAJ4762E3/TR13 conforms to this specification.
Can SMAJ4762E3/TR13 replace 1N4762A directly in a PCB design?
No, SMAJ4762E3/TR13 cannot be a direct drop-in replacement for 1N4762A due to differing packages: SMAJ4762E3/TR13 uses DO-214AC (SMA), while 1N4762A uses DO-41. Though electrically equivalent per datasheet note, the SMAJ4762E3/TR13 requires SMT footprint redesign. Its higher 2.0 W power rating and 55 A surge capability also demand updated thermal pad layout versus the 1.0 W through-hole part.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4762E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4762E3/TR13 has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 2.0 W, measured when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal at lead temperature ≤100 °C. Power must be derated linearly above 100 °C, reaching zero at 150 °C. This rating is validated per Note 2 and 3 in the Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet MSC0284A.PDF.
Does SMAJ4762E3/TR13 meet UL94V-0 flammability requirements?
Yes, SMAJ4762E3/TR13 uses flame-retardant epoxy meeting UL94V-0, as stated in the Mechanical Data section. This certification confirms the encapsulant will self-extinguish within 10 seconds after flame removal and produce no flaming drips-critical for compliance in enclosed industrial and automotive electronic assemblies.
What is the peak surge current rating for SMAJ4762E3/TR13 and how is it tested?
The SMAJ4762E3/TR13 has a peak surge current rating of 55 A, measured using a 1/120 second half-sine wave or equivalent sine wave pulse at 25 °C ambient, per Note 3 in the Electrical Characteristics table. This test method aligns with JEDEC standards and validates the device's ability to absorb high-energy transients without parametric shift or failure.
