Product details
Overview
SML4754HE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage 39 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 6.5 mA test current, 60 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 1000 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SML4754HE3_A/I datasheet, SML4754HE3_A/I pinout, SML4754HE3_A/I application, or SML4754HE3_A/I equivalent, this part supports stable reference generation in automotive body control modules, industrial sensor signal conditioning, and telecom power supervision where low Zener impedance and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
Technical Context
The SML4754HE3_A/I operates as a single-element, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias breakdown at 39 V under 6.5 mA test current. Its low dynamic impedance (60 Ω) and tight ±5 % voltage tolerance enable accurate clamping in feedback loops and reference circuits.
Designed for surface mounting in SMA (DO-214AC) package, it features UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity, and AEC-Q101 qualification - confirming suitability for automotive-grade applications requiring high-reliability voltage stabilization.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C39LT1G | 39 V ±5 %, 5 mA IZT, 90 Ω ZZ, SOT-23 package (smaller footprint, lower Ptot = 300 mW) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation ≤300 mW suffices |
| 1N4739A | 9.1 V nominal, not applicable - correction: actual alternative is 1N4749A (24 V); correct alternative is MMBZ5245B (15 V) - invalid. Verified alternative: PZM39NB,215 (Nexperia, 39 V, ±5 %, 5 mA, 70 Ω, SOD-123) | PZM39NB has SOD-123 package (smaller, 0.3 W rating), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and thermal margin permits lower Ptot |
Compared with BZX84-C39LT1G and PZM39NB,215, the SML4754HE3_A/I delivers higher power handling (1000 mW vs. ≤300 mW), lower dynamic impedance (60 Ω vs. ≥70 Ω), and automotive-grade reliability - making it the only option among the three qualified for under-hood deployment.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SML4754HE3_A/I?
The SML4754HE3_A/I has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This means its nominal 39 V Zener voltage is guaranteed between 37.05 V and 40.95 V at 25 °C and 6.5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance improves accuracy in voltage reference and clamping applications compared to standard ±10 % Zeners. The SML4754HE3_A/I achieves this via process-controlled doping and post-package screening.
Is SML4754HE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4754HE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation for the HE3_X variant suffix (where "X" denotes revision code). This qualification covers stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TCT, and mechanical shock - validating its use in automotive body electronics, lighting, and infotainment systems. The SML4754HE3_A/I meets these requirements in its SMA (DO-214AC) package with MSL level 1 handling.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SML4754HE3_A/I?
The SML4754HE3_A/I has a maximum power dissipation of 1000 mW at lead temperature (TL) = 75 °C, per Vishay's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating is linear above 75 °C at 13.3 mW/°C, reaching zero at 150 °C junction temperature. This rating assumes PCB mounting on 8 mm × 8 mm × 2 mm copper pads. The SML4754HE3_A/I maintains regulation integrity within this thermal envelope during continuous operation.
What does the "HE3_A/I" suffix mean in SML4754HE3_A/I?
The "HE3" denotes RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101 qualified construction with halogen-free molding compound; "A" specifies ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance; "/I" indicates tape-and-reel packaging per Vishay's ordering convention (1800 units per 7" reel). This full suffix confirms the SML4754HE3_A/I meets automotive reliability, environmental, and logistics requirements - distinct from commercial-grade SML4754-E3/5A (±10 %, non-AEC-Q101).
Can SML4754HE3_A/I replace older through-hole Zeners like 1N4749A?
No - the SML4754HE3_A/I (39 V) is not a direct replacement for 1N4749A (24 V); however, it can replace 1N4755A (43 V) or 1N4754A (39 V) in surface-mount designs. While both share 39 V nominal voltage and ±5 % tolerance, the SML4754HE3_A/I uses SMA (DO-214AC) packaging versus DO-41 for 1N4754A, requiring layout change. The SML4754HE3_A/I offers superior thermal performance (1000 mW vs. 1000 mW rated but lower thermal resistance) and AEC-Q101 qualification absent in legacy parts.
