Product details
Overview
BZG04-75TR3 from Vishay Semiconductors is a glass-passivated, high-reliability Zener diode designed for transient voltage suppression in power rails and signal lines. It features a 75 V standoff voltage, 300 W non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 µs), 2.4 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, 150 °C max junction temperature, and DO-214AC (SMC) package - used in industrial power supply overvoltage clamping.
For engineers reviewing the BZG04-75TR3 datasheet, BZG04-75TR3 pinout, BZG04-75TR3 application, or BZG04-75TR3 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (126 V @ 2.4 A), thermal resistance (100 K/W on Al₂O₃ ceramic), surge current capability (50 A half-sine), and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
The BZG04-75TR3 operates as a unidirectional voltage-clamping device with fast response time (≤1 ps), leveraging glass-passivated junction technology to ensure stable breakdown behavior under repetitive transients. Its low dynamic impedance and tight tolerance (±5 % on VZ) support precise regulation in protection circuits.
Designed for surface-mount mounting on epoxy-glass or alumina substrates, it delivers 100 K/W thermal resistance when mounted on Al₂O₃ ceramic (Fig. 1b), enabling reliable power dissipation up to 1.25 W at 50 °C ambient with RthJA < 100 K/W - critical for compact industrial DC-DC converter designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VR) | 75 V - defines maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction begins; sets operating margin for 48 V–60 V DC bus protection. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 126 V @ 2.4 A (10/1000 µs) - actual voltage seen by protected circuit during surge; ensures downstream ICs remain below absolute max ratings. |
| Junction Capacitance | 2.6 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - minimal loading on high-speed signal lines; suitable for CAN, RS-485, and sensor interface protection without bandwidth degradation. |
| Peak Surge Power | 300 W (10/1000 µs) - enables robust handling of IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges (4 kV line-earth) without degradation. |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 100 K/W on Al₂O₃ ceramic - allows sustained 1.25 W dissipation at 50 °C ambient; supports thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| Surge Current (IFSM) | 50 A (10 ms half-sine) - withstands motor-commutation spikes and relay-coil flyback events in PLC I/O modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMC), surface-mount, molded plastic case with cathode band marking; dimensions per Vishay spec 19628; weight ≈ 77 mg.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward bias or surge conduction path | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; must be routed with low-inductance trace for effective clamping. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during reverse-bias clamping | Connected to protected node (e.g., DC rail); polarity marking (band) must align with system ground reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Eliminates moisture-induced parameter drift and improves long-term stability in humid industrial environments. |
| Fast response time ≤1 ps | Clamps ESD and lightning-induced transients before sensitive logic or analog circuitry sustains damage. |
| Lead (Pb)-free & RoHS-compliant | Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC; supports global manufacturing compliance without requalification. |
| High reliability rating | Validated for >10⁵ surge cycles under specified conditions; reduces field failure risk in mission-critical power systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener-based transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A | Higher clamping voltage (123 V @ 3.2 A), same DO-214AA package, lower surge rating (600 W vs. 300 W) | Designed for higher-energy IEC 61000-4-5 surges; less suitable for space-constrained layouts due to larger SMB footprint | Select SMBJ75A only if system-level surge testing requires >300 W rating and board area permits larger package. |
| P6SMB75A | Same 75 V standoff, but 600 W peak power, DO-214AA package, higher junction capacitance (45 pF) | Higher capacitance limits use to low-frequency power rails; unsuitable for data-line protection | Choose P6SMB75A for cost-sensitive AC/DC front-end protection where signal integrity is not required. |
Compared with SMBJ75A and P6SMB75A, the BZG04-75TR3 offers superior high-frequency performance (2.6 pF) and tighter thermal management (100 K/W on Al₂O₃), making it optimal for compact, high-speed, and thermally demanding industrial electronics - despite lower peak power than alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZG04-75TR3 under standard surge conditions?
The BZG04-75TR3 has a maximum clamping voltage of 126 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs surge waveform at 2.4 A peak current, as specified in Vishay's Document 85594 Rev. 2.2. This value ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during standardized transient events. The BZG04-75TR3 achieves this with low dynamic impedance and tight VZ tolerance, making it suitable for precision rail protection.
Is the BZG04-75TR3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the BZG04-75TR3 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its glass-passivated junction and DO-214AC package withstand peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Vishay confirms RoHS compliance and Pb-free construction in Document 85594, and the BZG04-75TR3 is rated for standard IPC-A-610 Class 2 and Class 3 assembly. Always verify profile with actual board thermal mass.
How does the thermal resistance of the BZG04-75TR3 vary with PCB mounting method?
The BZG04-75TR3 exhibits RthJA = 100 K/W when mounted on Al₂O₃ ceramic (Fig. 1b), 125 K/W on epoxy-glass hard tissue (Fig. 1b), and 150 K/W on epoxy-glass hard tissue (Fig. 1a), per Vishay's thermal characterization. These values directly impact allowable power dissipation: at 50 °C ambient, 1.25 W is permitted only with RthJA < 100 K/W. The BZG04-75TR3 datasheet specifies all three configurations to guide layout decisions.
Can the BZG04-75TR3 be used for bidirectional transient suppression?
No, the BZG04-75TR3 is a unidirectional Zener diode intended for single-polarity clamping - it conducts only when cathode voltage exceeds anode by ≥75 V. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential data buses), a pair of BZG04-75TR3 devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMAJ75CA is required. The BZG04-75TR3 datasheet explicitly defines it as a unidirectional device with cathode band marking.
What is the typical junction capacitance of the BZG04-75TR3 and why does it matter?
The BZG04-75TR3 has a typical junction capacitance of 2.6 pF measured at 0 V and 1 MHz, per Vishay's Electrical Characteristics table. This low value minimizes signal loading and preserves rise/fall times in high-speed interfaces such as CAN FD, RS-485, and sensor analog outputs. Because the BZG04-75TR3 is often placed directly at connector entrances, its 2.6 pF enables effective ESD protection without compromising data integrity.
