Product details
Overview
SML4749-E3/5A from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 24 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 1000 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C, and DO-214AC (SMA) package. It delivers low dynamic impedance (18.2 Ω at IZT = 10.5 mA), low regulation factor, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SML4749-E3/5A datasheet, SML4749-E3/5A pinout, SML4749-E3/5A application, or SML4749-E3/5A equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, surge current rating (190 mApk), thermal performance up to 150 °C junction temperature, RoHS-compliant construction, and MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity for standard reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
The SML4749-E3/5A operates as a precision voltage reference device using silicon PN-junction Zener breakdown at 24 V nominal. Its single-die construction in DO-214AC enables stable regulation under pulse and DC conditions, with reverse current limited to 0.25 μA at VR = 18.2 V and dynamic impedance measured at 10.5 mA test current.
Designed for surface-mounted systems requiring high-temperature soldering (260 °C/10 s), it maintains regulation across -65 °C to +150 °C storage range and supports surge current per JEDEC® 8.3 ms square-wave method. The UL 94 V-0 molding compound ensures flame resistance in compact PCB layouts.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SML4749-E3/5A?
The SML4749-E3/5A has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, indicated by the "A" suffix in the ordering code. This means its nominal 24 V zener voltage is guaranteed between 22.8 V and 25.2 V at IZT = 10.5 mA and Tamb = 25 °C, enabling tighter regulation than standard ±10 % Zeners in critical feedback paths.
Is SML4749-E3/5A qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4749-E3/5A is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet revision 1.9. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life-making SML4749-E3/5A suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SML4749-E3/5A?
The SML4749-E3/5A supports a peak surge current (IRM) of 190 mApk under JEDEC®-defined 8.3 ms pulse conditions. This value is measured at 25 °C ambient and reflects the device's ability to absorb transient energy without parametric shift or failure-critical for input-stage overvoltage protection.
Does SML4749-E3/5A require moisture preconditioning before reflow?
No, the SML4749-E3/5A is rated MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it has unlimited floor life and may be placed directly into standard lead-free reflow ovens without baking. Its DO-214AC package uses moisture-resistant molding compound compliant with UL 94 V-0.
What is the dynamic impedance of SML4749-E3/5A and why does it matter?
The SML4749-E3/5A exhibits a dynamic impedance (ZZ) of 18.2 Ω at IZT = 10.5 mA. This low value indicates minimal change in zener voltage under varying load current, which directly improves regulation accuracy in voltage reference and error amplifier feedback circuits-especially during fast load transients.
