Product details
Overview
SML4749AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 24 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 10.5 mA test current (IZT), and 25 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT - designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation in industrial DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SML4749AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4749AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4749AHE3_A/I application, or SML4749AHE3_A/I equivalent, this device delivers stable 24 V clamping under 1000 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C, supports AEC-Q101 qualification (HE3_X suffix), and operates across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - critical for automotive body control modules and industrial sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference element, operating in reverse breakdown mode with low regulation factor and low zener impedance (25 Ω at 10.5 mA). Its SMA (DO-214AC) package enables high-density PCB layout while maintaining 260 °C/10 s soldering robustness and MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
The device exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of +8.5 mV/°C near 24 V (per Fig. 3), and supports non-repetitive surge current up to 750 mApk (8.3 ms pulse), making it suitable for transient suppression in 24 V rail monitoring applications where thermal stability and pulse survivability are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - ensures tight regulation for 24 V system references requiring < ±1.2 V deviation. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 10.5 mA - defines the operating point where VZ and dynamic impedance are specified; matches common feedback divider bias currents. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 25 Ω at IZT - low impedance maintains stable output voltage under varying load conditions in regulation circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW at TL = 75 °C - enables use in compact power supplies without forced cooling when mounted on adequate copper area. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - supports operation in under-hood automotive environments and sealed industrial enclosures. |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 750 mApk (8.3 ms) - withstands short-duration transients per JEDEC method, protecting downstream circuitry from line spikes. |
