Product details
Overview
SML4753AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 36 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 7 mA test current, and 1000 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C. It features low dynamic impedance (27.4 Ω at IZT), low regulation factor, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the SML4753AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4753AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4753AHE3_A/I application, or SML4753AHE3_A/I equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in DC power rails, voltage regulation feedback loops, and ESD-protected sensor interfaces where stable 36 V stabilization under transient surge conditions is required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals. Its 36 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 7 mA test current (IZT1), with dynamic impedance measured at that same current and temperature coefficient optimized for minimal drift over -65 °C to +150 °C junction range.
The device uses a single-diode configuration in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for peak surge current of 125 mApk (8.3 ms pulse), and complies with MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity per J-STD-020 - enabling standard reflow without baking.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SML4753AHE3_A/I?
The SML4753AHE3_A/I has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 36 V zener voltage is guaranteed between 34.2 V and 37.8 V at 7 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. The tighter tolerance reduces calibration overhead in precision reference circuits compared to standard ±10 % variants like SML4753HE3_A/I.
Is SML4753AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4753AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by the "HE3_A/I" ordering code - where "_X" (here "A") denotes AEC-Q101 revision grade. It undergoes stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling per AEC-Q101 standards, making it suitable for under-hood and body-control module applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SML4753AHE3_A/I?
The SML4753AHE3_A/I supports a non-repetitive surge current of 125 mApk for an 8.3 ms pulse width, per JEDEC method. This rating applies at Tamb = 25 °C and enables reliable clamping during load-dump or inductive switching transients without parametric shift or failure - a key requirement in ISO 7637-2-compliant automotive designs.
What package type does SML4753AHE3_A/I use?
The SML4753AHE3_A/I uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package: 4.93 mm × 3.99 mm × 2.29 mm outline with cathode band marking, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity. Its standardized footprint supports automated pick-and-place and lead-free reflow without preconditioning.
How does the dynamic impedance of SML4753AHE3_A/I affect regulation performance?
The SML4753AHE3_A/I exhibits 27.4 Ω dynamic impedance at 7 mA test current, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current causes approximately 27.4 mV change in output voltage. This low value ensures minimal voltage deviation under varying load conditions - critical for maintaining accuracy in feedback networks and reference buffers where regulation stability directly impacts system precision.
