Product details
Overview
SML4750HE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 27 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix "A"), 9.5 mA test current (IZT), and 35 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT - designed for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation in industrial and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SML4750HE3_A/I datasheet, SML4750HE3_A/I pinout, SML4750HE3_A/I application, or SML4750HE3_A/I equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified, RoHS-compliant SMA (DO-214AC) device offers verified surge current handling (170 mApk), low regulation factor, and stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature - critical for high-reliability embedded power management designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a single-element, two-terminal voltage reference device with reverse-biased breakdown behavior. Its electrical performance is specified at Tamb = 25 °C, with derated power dissipation (1000 mW at TL = 75 °C) and MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity rating per J-STD-020.
The SML4750HE3_A/I exhibits a typical temperature coefficient near +10.5 mV/°C (based on family trend at VZ ≈ 27 V), low forward voltage drop (<1.2 V @ 1 A), and robust 260 °C/10 s soldering tolerance - enabling compatibility with standard reflow profiles in automated PCB assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
