Product details
Overview
BZG04-75TR from Vishay Semiconductors is a glass-passivated, surface-mount Zener diode designed for high-energy transient voltage suppression in power rails and signal lines. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V, 300 W non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 µs), 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at 60 V, 126 V clamping voltage at 2.4 A peak pulse current, and DO-214AC (SMC) package for industrial-grade surge protection.
For engineers reviewing the BZG04-75TR datasheet, BZG04-75TR pinout, BZG04-75TR application, or BZG04-75TR equivalent, key selection criteria include standoff voltage tolerance, clamping ratio, thermal resistance to ambient (125 K/W on epoxy-glass hard tissue), surge current capability (50 A forward surge), and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
The BZG04-75TR operates as a unidirectional voltage clamp with precise breakdown at 75 V ±5 % (85 V min, 94 V max at 5 mA), enabling reliable overvoltage protection in DC power supplies and interface circuits. Its fast response time (≤1 ps) ensures effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced transients before downstream components are stressed.
Thermal design relies on low junction-to-lead resistance (25 K/W) and configurable junction-to-ambient performance (100–150 K/W depending on PCB mounting), supporting stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under repetitive surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 75 V nominal, 85–94 V range at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 75-V rail protection |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 126 V at IPP = 2.4 A (10/1000 µs) - determines maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during surge |
| Peak Surge Power | 300 W (10/1000 µs) - supports high-energy transient absorption without failure |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 60 V - ensures minimal standby power loss and signal integrity in high-impedance nodes |
| Junction Temp. Limit | 150 °C - enables operation in automotive engine compartments and industrial enclosures |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMC) - industry-standard SMD outline with 77 mg mass and proven thermal/mechanical reliability |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Telecom Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of gate drivers and feedback sensors against switching transients in 48-V and 72-V motor control inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional voltage clamp placed across DC bus or isolated gate supply rails. Use Value: Limits transient overvoltage to ≤126 V, preventing MOSFET gate oxide rupture and op-amp input damage during IGBT turn-off. | Use Scenario: Input-stage surge suppression in -48 V telecom rectifier modules exposed to lightning-induced surges on distribution lines.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener-based crowbar element shunting induced spikes to common return before optocoupler input stage. Use Value: 5 µA leakage at 60 V preserves input logic threshold margin; 126 V clamping prevents false triggering and latch-up. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A | Higher clamping voltage (123 V min at 2.4 A), same DO-214AA package, lower surge rating (600 W vs. 300 W) | Designed for bidirectional use; lacks specified Zener tolerance and TKVZ data | Select when bidirectional protection or higher surge margin is required; verify unidirectional biasing compatibility |
| P6SMB75A | Same 75 V standoff, but 600 W peak surge (10/1000 µs), DO-214AA package, 1000 VRM rating | Broader industrial qualification; no specified glass passivation or 1-ps response claim | Prefer for cost-sensitive, high-volume designs where ultrafast response is not critical |
Compared with SMBJ75A and P6SMB75A, the BZG04-75TR offers tighter Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), verified glass passivation for humidity resistance, and documented sub-picosecond response-making it preferred for precision-clamp applications in harsh environments where long-term parameter stability is essential.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the BZG04-75TR?
The BZG04-75TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 75 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, meaning its breakdown voltage ranges from 85 V to 94 V at test current IZT = 5 mA. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision protection circuits and is confirmed in the Vishay BZG04-Series datasheet (Doc. #85594, Rev. 2.2).
Does the BZG04-75TR support bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the BZG04-75TR is a unidirectional Zener diode with anode and cathode terminals explicitly defined. It clamps only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For bidirectional protection, two BZG04-75TR devices must be connected in series opposition, or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ75CA should be selected instead.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation of the BZG04-75TR?
The BZG04-75TR has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of 150 °C, validated under steady-state and pulsed thermal conditions. Derating is required above ambient temperatures of 50 °C when dissipating >1.25 W, based on RthJA = 125 K/W for epoxy-glass mounting per Figure 1b in the official datasheet.
How does the clamping voltage of the BZG04-75TR compare to its Zener voltage?
The BZG04-75TR clamps at 126 V when subjected to a 2.4 A peak pulse current (10/1000 µs waveform), which is 68 % higher than its nominal 75 V Zener voltage. This clamping ratio (VCL/VZ ≈ 1.68) reflects the dynamic impedance rise under surge conditions and is critical for determining protected circuit voltage margins.
Is the BZG04-75TR compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the BZG04-75TR is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its DO-214AC package and glass-passivated junction withstand peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds. The device is also certified lead (Pb)-free and compliant with RoHS 2002/95/EC, as stated in Vishay Document #85594.
