Product details
Overview
SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip) is a 100 V, 2 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 45 A peak surge current at 25°C, with 5% voltage tolerance and 350 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.5 mA test current; used for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and transient suppression in industrial control inputs.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection factors include its 100 V nominal Zener voltage, 2 W steady-state power dissipation on 4.0 mm² copper pads, -55°C to +150°C operating temperature range, and JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical compatibility.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to regulate or clamp voltage at 100 V ±5%, with a sharp knee impedance of 750 Ω at 0.25 mA and maximum reverse leakage of 5 µA at 76 V. It meets MIL-STD-750 solderability requirements and is polarity-marked by cathode band.
Designed for high-surge reliability, it sustains 45 A single-half-sine surge (1/120 s) and exhibits thermal resistance of 25°C/W junction-to-lead when mounted per specification. Its forward voltage is 1.2 V at 200 mA, confirming silicon PN-junction construction.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4764A-T | Same 100 V, 2 W rating but in DO-41 axial package; higher thermal resistance (50°C/W) | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select only if legacy through-hole assembly is mandated and board space permits larger footprint |
| SMLJ100A | Higher 3 kW peak power rating (vs. 2 W steady-state), same DO-214AC package, 100 V nominal | Optimized for transient-only suppression (TVS), not precision regulation; higher leakage (10 µA @ 80 V) | Prefer for surge-dominated environments where regulation stability is secondary to energy absorption |
Compared with SMAJ4764AE3/TR13, 1N4764A-T offers identical electrical specs but incompatible packaging, while SMLJ100A trades regulation precision for superior surge handling-making SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 optimal for combined regulation + moderate transient protection in space-constrained SMT layouts.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4764AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 has a nominal Zener voltage of 100 V with a ±5% tolerance, as confirmed by the "A" suffix in the part number per manufacturer documentation. This means the actual measured breakdown voltage falls between 95 V and 105 V at 2.5 mA test current and 25°C ambient. The tolerance is tighter than standard 10% parts (no suffix) and looser than 2% (C suffix) or 1% (D suffix) variants in the same family.
Can SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 be used as a direct replacement for 1N4764A?
Yes, SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N4764A per the manufacturer's datasheet, sharing identical Zener voltage, power rating, and dynamic impedance. However, it uses a DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package versus the DO-41 axial package of 1N4764A-so PCB layout must be updated for SMT assembly. No electrical redesign is needed.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SMAJ4764AE3/TR13?
The SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 is rated for 45 A peak surge current, measured using a 1/120 second half-sine waveform at 25°C ambient. This value corresponds to the IS parameter in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects its ability to absorb transient energy without failure-critical for IEC 61000-4-5 compliance testing in industrial equipment.
How does thermal management affect SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 performance?
SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 requires mounting on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal to achieve its full 2 W power rating; thermal resistance is specified as 25°C/W junction-to-lead under this condition. Above 100°C lead temperature, power must be linearly derated to zero at 150°C. Insufficient copper area increases junction temperature and risks premature thermal runaway during sustained clamping.
Is SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SMAJ4764AE3/TR13 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Microchip's product change notification PCN#170001. The "E3" suffix denotes lead-free matte tin plating, and the "TR13" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481 standards-both consistent with modern environmental and assembly requirements.
