Product details
Overview
SMAJ4764CE3/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 2.5 mA test current, 350 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 5 µA reverse leakage at 76 V, used for overvoltage protection in DC power rails and voltage reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2% due to 'C' suffix), thermal resistance (25°C/W), steady-state power dissipation (2.0 W on 4 mm² copper pads), and JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical compatibility.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp transient overvoltages and stabilize reference voltages. Its 100 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 2.5 mA test current (IZT) with ±2% tolerance, and it maintains regulation down to 0.25 mA knee current (IZK) where dynamic impedance rises to 3000 Ω.
The device supports high-energy transients via 45 A peak surge current (IS) under 1/120 s half-sine waveform, and exhibits 5 µA maximum reverse leakage (IR) at 76 V (90% of VZ). Thermal performance is defined by 25°C/W junction-to-lead resistance when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

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 ±5% tolerance; no 'C' suffix; DO-41 through-hole package | Requires PCB footprint change and manual soldering; unsuitable for automated SMT lines | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where rework cost exceeds tolerance trade-off |
| MMSZ5265B-TP | 100 V, 500 mW, SOD-123 package; ±5% tolerance; 100 mA max IZM; 10× lower power rating | Limited to low-energy signal-level clamping; cannot replace SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 in power rail protection | Use only for low-current reference or bias networks where surge immunity is not required |
Compared with 1N4764A-T and MMSZ5265B-TP, SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 delivers superior surge handling (45 A vs. ≤10 A), tighter voltage control (±2% vs. ±5%), and SMT manufacturability-making it the sole choice for high-reliability 2 W power-rail clamping.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4764CE3/TR13?
The 'C' suffix in SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 denotes ±2% zener voltage tolerance at 25°C, verified at 2.5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance enables more accurate voltage clamping than standard ±5% Zeners like SMAJ4764A, reducing design margin overhead in critical protection circuits. The SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 datasheet specifies 98.0–102.0 V range under thermal equilibrium conditions.
Can SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 replace 1N4764A in existing designs?
SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N4764A per manufacturer documentation but uses DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount packaging versus DO-41 through-hole. While electrical parameters match, direct replacement requires PCB layout modification. The SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 offers improved surge rating (45 A vs. ~20 A) and ±2% tolerance, making it a functional upgrade where SMT is feasible.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SMAJ4764CE3/TR13?
SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 has a steady-state power dissipation rating of 2.0 W when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal, per MIL-STD-750 test conditions. Derating begins linearly above 100°C lead temperature, reaching zero power at 150°C junction temperature. This defines minimum copper area and thermal via requirements for reliable long-term operation in SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 applications.
How does the dynamic impedance of SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 affect regulation performance?
SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 exhibits 350 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) at 2.5 mA test current, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current causes ~350 mV shift in clamped voltage. This value directly impacts regulation tightness in reference circuits and transient suppression accuracy. Lower ZZT improves stability; SMAJ4764CE3/TR13's 350 Ω is typical for 100 V, 2 W Zeners and must be factored into error budget calculations.
What is the peak surge current rating for SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 and how is it measured?
SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 is rated for 45 A peak surge current (IS) under a 1/120 second half-sine waveform at 25°C ambient, per note 3 in the datasheet. This test simulates real-world lightning-induced transients and validates clamping integrity without degradation. The rating assumes proper PCB thermal mass; actual performance depends on trace width, copper area, and mounting technique in the final SMAJ4764CE3/TR13 implementation.
