Product details
Overview
SMAJ4764E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a 100 V, 2 W surface-mount Zener diode in DO-214AC (SMA) package, rated for 45 A peak surge current and 18 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, used for overvoltage protection and voltage regulation in power supply rails and I/O interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4764E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4764E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4764E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4764E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (5%), dynamic impedance (350 Ω @ 2.5 mA), reverse leakage (5 µA @ 76 V), thermal resistance (25°C/W), and JEDEC DO-214AC mechanical compatibility.
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 impedance characteristic (ZZK = 0.25 Ω @ 0.25 mA) and is rated for continuous power dissipation of 2.0 W when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal.
Designed for transient suppression and precision voltage clamping, it supports steady-state regulation up to 18 mA at elevated junction temperature (100°C), with derating to zero power at 150°C. Polarity is marked by a cathode band, and soldering must not exceed 260°C for 10 seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% at 2.5 mA test current - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage events |
| Power Dissipation (PAV) | 2.0 W - requires 4.0 mm² copper pad per terminal for thermal management |
| Peak Surge Current (IS) | 45 A - withstands ½-sine wave transients per MIL-STD-750 Method 3012 |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 350 Ω @ 2.5 mA - indicates voltage regulation stability under small-signal variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA @ 76 V - ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4764A | Through-hole DO-41 package; identical electrical specs but different mounting method and thermal profile | Requires PCB through-hole footprint and wave solder process; unsuitable for fully SMT designs | Select when legacy board reuse or manual prototyping is required |
| MMSZ5264ET1G | 0.5 W SOD-123 package; 100 V ±5%, but lower surge rating (20 A) and higher ZZT (700 Ω) | Limited to low-energy clamping in space-constrained consumer electronics, not industrial transients | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where 2 W rating is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4764A and MMSZ5264ET1G, SMAJ4764E3/TR13 uniquely combines 2 W power handling, 45 A surge capability, and DO-214AC surface-mount compatibility-making it the only option for high-reliability SMT designs requiring robust 100 V clamping.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SMAJ4764E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4764E3/TR13 has a nominal zener voltage of 100 V with a tolerance of ±5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This tolerance applies under standard test conditions (25°C, 2.5 mA test current), and no suffix (e.g., 'C' or 'D') is present in the part number, indicating the default 5% grade. The SMAJ4764E3/TR13 maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is SMAJ4764E3/TR13 compatible with the legacy 1N4764A in terms of electrical performance?
Yes, SMAJ4764E3/TR13 is electrically equivalent to 1N4764A per the manufacturer's documentation, sharing identical zener voltage (100 V), test current (2.5 mA), dynamic impedance (350 Ω), and reverse leakage (5 µA @ 76 V). However, SMAJ4764E3/TR13 uses a DO-214AC package while 1N4764A uses DO-41-so mechanical fit and thermal behavior differ despite matching electrical behavior.
What is the maximum allowable surge current for SMAJ4764E3/TR13?
The SMAJ4764E3/TR13 is rated for a peak surge current (IS) of 45 A, measured using a ½-sine wave pulse of 1/120 second duration at 25°C ambient. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and reflects capability under standardized transient stress conditions defined in MIL-STD-750 Method 3012.
Does SMAJ4764E3/TR13 require heatsinking for 2 W operation?
The SMAJ4764E3/TR13 achieves its 2.0 W steady-state power rating only when mounted on 4.0 mm² copper pads per terminal, as stated in Note 2 of the Maximum Ratings table. Without this minimum copper area, thermal resistance rises above the rated 25°C/W, causing junction temperature to exceed safe limits. No external heatsink is needed if PCB layout meets this copper requirement.
How is polarity identified on SMAJ4764E3/TR13?
Polarity on SMAJ4764E3/TR13 is indicated by a visible cathode band located near one end of the DO-214AC package body. Per Mechanical Data, this band marks the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node (e.g., protected rail) during Zener operation. The anode is the unmarked terminal and connects to ground or return.
