Product details
Overview
SML4750AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 27 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 9.5 mA test current, and 35 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the SML4750AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4750AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4750AHE3_A/I application, or SML4750AHE3_A/I equivalent, this device requires attention to its SMA (DO-214AC) package thermal limits, surge current rating of 750 mApk, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a single-element, two-terminal voltage reference with reverse-biased breakdown behavior. Its low dynamic impedance (35 Ω) and tight ±5 % voltage tolerance enable stable regulation under varying load and temperature conditions.
The device is rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation at 75 °C lead temperature, junction temperature up to 150 °C, and meets MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity per J-STD-020 - confirming suitability for standard reflow soldering without dry-pack requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - ensures precise clamping at 25.65–28.35 V under 9.5 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW at TL = 75 °C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with adequate copper heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 35 Ω at IZT = 9.5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation during load transients in feedback networks |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 750 mApk (8.3 ms pulse) - withstands short-duration overvoltage events without degradation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 μA at VR = 20.6 V - guarantees low standby current in high-impedance bias/reference paths |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - enables use in under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures |

SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package: 2-terminal, cathode-banded, plastic-molded case with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and 64 mg typical weight. Compatible with standard 12 mm tape-and-reel handling (7" or 13" reels).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / reference ground node | Connected to circuit common or lower-potential rail; establishes reference polarity for Zener operation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to input voltage source; maintains stable 27 V relative to anode during reverse conduction |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the SML4750AHE3_A/I?
The SML4750AHE3_A/I has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, meaning its nominal 27 V breakdown occurs between 25.65 V and 28.35 V at the specified 9.5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance versus standard ±10 % parts reduces calibration overhead and improves system-level accuracy in reference and protection circuits.
Is the SML4750AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4750AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation for the SML47xxA family. This qualification validates its performance under automotive temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and lifetime reliability requirements - making it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What package type does the SML4750AHE3_A/I use?
The SML4750AHE3_A/I uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package - a 2-terminal, cathode-banded, plastic-molded case with standardized 12 mm tape-and-reel packaging. Its dimensions (5.28 mm × 4.50 mm × 2.29 mm) and MSL Level 1 rating support automated pick-and-place and standard reflow soldering.
What is the maximum surge current rating for the SML4750AHE3_A/I?
The SML4750AHE3_A/I has a non-repetitive surge current rating of 750 mApk per JEDEC method (8.3 ms pulse width). This value reflects its ability to absorb transient overvoltage energy without parametric shift or failure - critical for protecting downstream ICs in power supply input stages.
How does the dynamic impedance of the SML4750AHE3_A/I affect regulation performance?
The SML4750AHE3_A/I exhibits 35 Ω dynamic impedance at 9.5 mA test current. This low value means minimal change in Zener voltage under load variations - directly improving regulation stability in feedback networks and reducing output ripple in precision reference applications.
