Product details
Overview
SML4759AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 62 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 4 mA test current, and 125 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT; it delivers stable voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for industrial power converters.
For engineers reviewing the SML4759AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4759AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4759AHE3_A/I application, or SML4759AHE3_A/I equivalent, this device is selected for precision clamping in 60–65 V DC rails where low Zener impedance (<130 Ω), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SMA (DO-214AC) package thermal robustness are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with tightly controlled VZ = 62 V (nominal) at IZT = 4 mA, exhibiting low regulation factor and 47.1 V minimum knee voltage at IZK = 0.25 mA. Its 125 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients.
Rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation at TL = 75 °C, it supports surge current up to 2000 mApk (8.3 ms pulse) and maintains operation across -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, with MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity and UL 94 V-0 flammability compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance - enables precise 62 V clamping in feedback networks without trimming resistors |
| Test Current (IZT) | 4 mA - defines operating point for specified VZ and dynamic impedance; matches typical bias currents in TL431-based regulators |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 125 Ω at IZT = 4 mA - limits output voltage deviation to <0.5 V under ±1 mA load change |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1000 mW at TL = 75 °C - supports continuous regulation in PCB-mounted power stages with 8 × 8 mm copper pads |
| Surge Current (IRM) | 2000 mApk (8.3 ms) - withstands transient overvoltage events per JEDEC method without degradation |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - allows operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine control units |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking; 64 mg weight, UL 94 V-0 rated molding compound, MSL level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-voltage reference node | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail in shunt regulator configuration |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per AEC standard |
| Low Zener impedance | 125 Ω at 4 mA enables tight voltage regulation in closed-loop feedback paths with minimal error gain |
| High-temperature soldering guarantee | Rated for 260 °C/10 s reflow - compatible with standard lead-free SMT assembly processes |
| ±5 % voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-assembly calibration in voltage reference and protection circuits |
| UL 94 V-0 flammability rating | Meets safety requirements for enclosed industrial and automotive power modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C62,115 (Nexperia) | Same 62 V ±5 %, but 300 mW Ptot, SOT-23 package, higher ZZ = 150 Ω | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100 mA regulation loads | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation ≤300 mW |
| 1N4748A (ON Semiconductor) | 62 V ±5 %, 1000 mW, DO-41 through-hole package, ZZ = 110 Ω, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires wave soldering; lacks automotive qualification and MSL level 1 handling | Select for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C62,115 and 1N4748A, the SML4759AHE3_A/I uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SMA surface-mount compatibility, and 1000 mW power handling - making it the only option among the three suitable for production automotive power modules requiring zero rework risk and high thermal reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for SML4759AHE3_A/I?
The SML4759AHE3_A/I has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, confirmed by the "A" suffix in its part number and verified in the Electrical Characteristics table (VZ = 62 V nominal, min 59.0 V, max 65.0 V at IZT = 4 mA). This tighter tolerance eliminates need for external trimming in precision reference designs.
Is SML4759AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SML4759AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "HE3_A/I" ordering code suffix and explicitly stated in the Features section. It undergoes stress testing for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101 Rev D requirements.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SML4759AHE3_A/I?
The SML4759AHE3_A/I supports a non-repetitive surge current of 2000 mApk (2 A peak) for 8.3 ms, per JEDEC method, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This rating applies to single-event transients like load dump or inductive switching spikes.
Does SML4759AHE3_A/I have a defined cathode marking?
Yes, SML4759AHE3_A/I uses a cathode band marking on the SMA (DO-214AC) package, consistent with industry-standard polarity identification. The band aligns with the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node in shunt regulation configurations.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for SML4759AHE3_A/I?
The datasheet does not specify RθJL directly, but provides thermal derating data: 1000 mW maximum power at TL = 75 °C. From Fig. 1, the device achieves full-rated power when lead temperature is held at or below 75 °C, implying effective thermal path to PCB copper pads rather than reliance on junction-to-air metrics.
