Product details
Overview
SML4748-E3/61 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 22 V, 11.5 mA test current (IZT), 23 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 750 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C, and DO-214AC (SMA) package - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SML4748-E3/61 datasheet, SML4748-E3/61 pinout, SML4748-E3/61 application, or SML4748-E3/61 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±10 % standard), surge current rating (205 mApk), AEC-Q101 qualification status, RoHS compliance, and MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-junction, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias voltage reference and clamping. It exhibits low dynamic impedance (23 Ω at 11.5 mA) and tight regulation factor due to controlled doping and thermal design.
Rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature and qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability, the SML4748-E3/61 supports high-temperature soldering (260 °C/10 s) and maintains stable VZ across temperature via predictable negative-to-positive TC crossover near 5–6 V - though its 22 V variant shows +0.085 %/°C typical coefficient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, ±10 % tolerance - defines precise clamping threshold in voltage reference and protection circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 11.5 mA - operating point where VZ and dynamic impedance are specified; sets minimum bias for stable regulation |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 23 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load transients; lower value improves regulation accuracy |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW at TL = 75 °C - maximum steady-state power handling on PCB with defined copper area; derates linearly above 75 °C |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 205 mApk (8.3 ms pulse) - peak non-repetitive current capability for transient overvoltage suppression |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 μA at VR = 16.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - industry-standard surface-mount outline with cathode band marking; compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded plastic case with axial leadframe, cathode band marking, and 64 mg mass. Compliant with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; establishes polarity for reverse-bias operation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input or supply rail; delivers stable 22 V reference when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics requiring extended temperature and reliability assurance |
| Low Zener impedance (23 Ω) | Enables <10 mV output deviation under ±5 mA load step changes - critical for feedback stability in switching regulators |
| High-temperature soldering guarantee | Withstands 260 °C for 10 s at terminals - ensures robustness during reflow assembly without parameter shift or delamination |
| RoHS-compliant, commercial grade | E3 suffix indicates lead-free, halogen-free construction meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU - suitable for global industrial and consumer production |
| MSL level 1 handling | No dry-pack or baking required before assembly - simplifies manufacturing logistics and reduces process overhead |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22LT1G | 22 V ±5 % tolerance, SOT-23 package, 350 mW Ptot, 50 Ω ZZ at 5 mA | Lower power rating and higher impedance limit use to low-current references or signal-level clamping | Select when board space is constrained and 22 V ±5 % tighter tolerance is required; verify thermal margin at full load |
| 1N4748A | 22 V ±5 %, DO-41 through-hole package, 1000 mW Ptot, 23 Ω ZZ at 11.5 mA | Through-hole mounting requires manual or wave-solder process; not suitable for fully SMT lines | Choose for legacy designs or prototyping where DO-41 footprint exists; no rework needed if replacing existing 1N4748A |
Compared with BZX84-C22LT1G and 1N4748A, the SML4748-E3/61 offers surface-mount compatibility with automotive qualification and identical dynamic impedance, but trades ±5 % tolerance for broader ±10 % spec - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume SMT power regulation where AEC-Q101 compliance is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SML4748-E3/61?
The SML4748-E3/61 has a nominal zener voltage of 22 V with a standard tolerance of ±10 %, as specified in the Vishay SML4728–SML4764A datasheet Rev. 1.9. This tolerance applies under standard test conditions (Tamb = 25 °C, IZT = 11.5 mA). The "E3" suffix confirms RoHS-compliant commercial grade, not the tighter ±5 % "A" variant.
Is SML4748-E3/61 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4748-E3/61 is AEC-Q101 qualified - confirmed in the Vishay datasheet under "FEATURES" and "ORDERING INFORMATION" (HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101; E3 is commercial grade). While the E3/61 variant itself is commercial grade, it shares identical die and packaging with the AEC-Q101-qualified SML4748HE3/61, enabling drop-in use in automotive designs where qualification documentation is separately managed.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SML4748-E3/61 at 100 °C ambient?
The SML4748-E3/61 has a maximum power dissipation of 1000 mW at TL = 75 °C. Above that temperature, power rating decreases linearly with slope −13.3 mW/°C (per Fig. 1 in the datasheet), resulting in ~667 mW max at 100 °C ambient on standard PCB copper pads. Derating must be applied based on actual thermal layout.
Does SML4748-E3/61 have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes - the SML4748-E3/61 (22 V) exhibits a typical positive temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C, as shown in Fig. 3 ("Typical Temperature Coefficients") of the Vishay datasheet. This value reflects average drift between 0 °C and 100 °C and enables predictable VZ adjustment in temperature-compensated reference designs.
What does the "/61" suffix mean in SML4748-E3/61?
The "/61" suffix in SML4748-E3/61 indicates packaging configuration: 1800 units per 7-inch plastic reel on 12 mm tape. This differs from "/5A", which denotes 7500 units per 13-inch reel. Both share identical electrical and mechanical specifications; only reel size and quantity differ - critical for SMT line feed optimization and inventory planning.
