Product details
Overview
SML4751AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 30 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 8.5 mA test current (IZT), and 1000 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C. It features low dynamic impedance (22.8 Ω at IZT), low regulation factor, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC power rails and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SML4751AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4751AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4751AHE3_A/I application, or SML4751AHE3_A/I equivalent, this device is selected for stable 30 V regulation in space-constrained PCBs requiring RoHS-compliant, high-temperature soldering (260 °C/10 s), MSL Level 1 handling, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive electronics.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 30 V reference across its terminals under controlled test current (8.5 mA) and exhibits low dynamic impedance (22.8 Ω) for minimal voltage deviation under load variation. Its temperature coefficient is +15 mV/°C near 30 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks.
The device uses a single-diode configuration in SMA (DO-214AC) package with cathode band marking, rated for junction temperatures up to 150 °C and storage from –65 °C to +150 °C. Surge current capability is 1000 mApk (8.3 ms pulse), supporting transient overvoltage suppression in power supply input stages.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SML4751AHE3_A/I?
The SML4751AHE3_A/I has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 30 V zener voltage falls within 28.5 V to 31.5 V at the specified test current of 8.5 mA, enabling tighter regulation than standard ±10 % variants in precision reference designs.
Is SML4751AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4751AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3_A/I" ordering code suffix denoting RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD-making SML4751AHE3_A/I suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What package type does SML4751AHE3_A/I use?
The SML4751AHE3_A/I uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package, measuring 4.93 mm × 3.99 mm × 2.29 mm with a cathode band marking. It is rated MSL Level 1 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds-ensuring compatibility with standard lead-free assembly processes.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SML4751AHE3_A/I?
The SML4751AHE3_A/I has a non-repetitive surge current rating of 1000 mApk per JEDEC-standard 8.3 ms pulse, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This enables reliable transient voltage suppression in power input stages without degradation, provided surge events remain infrequent and within thermal limits.
How does the dynamic impedance of SML4751AHE3_A/I affect regulation performance?
The SML4751AHE3_A/I exhibits a dynamic impedance of 22.8 Ω at 8.5 mA test current, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current results in approximately 22.8 mV change in output voltage. This low value ensures stable regulation under varying load conditions-critical for feedback networks and precision reference applications where voltage drift must be minimized.
