Product details
Overview
SML4758AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 56 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 4.5 mA test current, and 110 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT; it delivers precise voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for industrial DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SML4758AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4758AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4758AHE3_A/I application, or SML4758AHE3_A/I equivalent, this AEC-Q101 qualified, RoHS-compliant SMA (DO-214AC) device supports stable 56 V clamping under transient surge conditions up to 2000 mApk and operates reliably across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with low regulation factor and low zener impedance (110 Ω at 4.5 mA), enabling tight voltage stabilization under varying load and line conditions. Its single-diode configuration and SMA package support high-density PCB layouts requiring minimal board space.
The device is rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation at 75 °C lead temperature, with MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity and UL 94 V-0 flammability compliance - confirming suitability for automated reflow assembly and automotive-grade reliability validation per AEC-Q101.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 56 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - ensures accurate 56 V regulation in feedback networks without post-calibration. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 4.5 mA - defines operating point where VZ and dynamic impedance are specified; matches typical biasing in shunt regulator designs. |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 110 Ω at IZT - determines output voltage variation under load transients; lower than standard 1N47xx series for improved regulation. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW at TL = 75 °C - supports continuous operation in compact power supplies with adequate copper thermal relief. |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 2000 mApk (8.3 ms pulse) - withstands short-duration overvoltage events such as ESD or inductive kickback without degradation. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - enables deployment in under-hood automotive modules and industrial enclosures with elevated ambient temperatures. |
Pinout & Package
SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package with cathode band marking; 64 mg weight, UL 94 V-0 molding compound, and MSL level 1 rating for unlimited floor life before reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node in shunt configuration | Connected to system ground or low-side return path; establishes reference potential for regulated output. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulated voltage node | Connected to input rail or feedback node; maintains stable 56 V relative to anode during reverse bias operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics including engine control units and body control modules requiring extended temperature and lifetime reliability. |
| ±5 % voltage tolerance (suffix A) | Reduces need for external trimming components in precision reference applications, improving BOM simplicity and long-term stability. |
| Low dynamic impedance (110 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage deviation under load steps - critical for maintaining feedback accuracy in isolated flyback controllers. |
| 260 °C/10 s soldering endurance | Guarantees robustness during standard lead-free reflow profiles without parametric shift or delamination. |
| MSL level 1 handling | Eliminates bake requirements prior to assembly, reducing manufacturing overhead and moisture-related field failures. |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SML4758AHE3_A/I?
The SML4758AHE3_A/I has a nominal zener voltage of 56 V with ±5 % tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is verified at 4.5 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature, ensuring predictable clamping behavior in production designs without calibration.
Is SML4758AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4758AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified and marked with the "HE3_A/I" ordering code, which denotes RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification. It meets stress testing requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock applicable to automotive powertrain and body electronics.
What package type does SML4758AHE3_A/I use?
The SML4758AHE3_A/I uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package - a standardized plastic case with cathode band marking, 64 mg weight, and dimensions of 4.93 mm × 3.99 mm × 2.29 mm. It is compatible with standard 12 mm tape-and-reel handling and lead-free reflow profiles.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SML4758AHE3_A/I?
The SML4758AHE3_A/I supports a non-repetitive surge current of 2000 mApk per JEDEC method (8.3 ms square wave), measured at rated zener voltage. This rating applies to transient suppression in power rails and ensures survivability during load dump or inductive switching events.
How does the dynamic impedance of SML4758AHE3_A/I affect regulation performance?
The SML4758AHE3_A/I exhibits 110 Ω dynamic impedance at 4.5 mA test current, directly determining how much the output voltage shifts under changing load current. Lower ZZ yields tighter regulation - for example, a 10 mA load step causes only ~1.1 V deviation, critical for stable feedback in switching regulators.
