FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for SML4756AHE3_A/H?
The SML4756AHE3_A/H has a nominal zener voltage of 47 V with ±5 % tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This means the actual measured VZ at 5.5 mA test current falls between 44.65 V and 49.35 V under standard test conditions (Tamb = 25 °C). The tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and lifetime of the SML4756AHE3_A/H.
Is SML4756AHE3_A/H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4756AHE3_A/H is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its "HE3_A/H" ordering code - where "HE3" denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction. This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing, making the SML4756AHE3_A/H suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SML4756AHE3_A/H at 75 °C lead temperature?
The SML4756AHE3_A/H has a maximum power dissipation (Ptot) of 1000 mW when the lead temperature (TL) is maintained at 75 °C. This rating assumes PCB mounting on 8 mm × 8 mm × 2 mm copper pads. Derating is required above 75 °C, with zero power allowed at 150 °C junction temperature. The SML4756AHE3_A/H thermal design must account for this linear derating curve to ensure safe operation.
Does SML4756AHE3_A/H have a defined surge current rating?
Yes, the SML4756AHE3_A/H has a specified non-repetitive surge current (IRM) of 95 mApk, defined per JEDEC® method as an 8.3 ms pulse-width square wave superimposed on the 5.5 mA test current. This rating validates the SML4756AHE3_A/H for transient overvoltage suppression in automotive load-dump and inductive switching scenarios without parametric shift or failure.
What package type does SML4756AHE3_A/H use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The SML4756AHE3_A/H uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package, with dimensions of 4.93 mm × 3.99 mm × 2.29 mm and a cathode band marking. It is RoHS-compliant, as indicated by the "E3" suffix in the part number, and carries UL 94 V-0 flammability certification. The SML4756AHE3_A/H also meets MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, eliminating pre-bake requirements prior to reflow soldering.
