Product details
Overview
SML4761AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 75 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 3.3 mA test current, and 1000 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C. It features low dynamic impedance (56 Ω at IZT), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SMA (DO-214AC) package for automotive and industrial voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SML4761AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4761AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4761AHE3_A/I application, or SML4761AHE3_A/I equivalent, this part serves as a precision voltage reference in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and voltage-clamping stages where stable 75 V regulation under pulse and DC conditions is required.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-element, unidirectional Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased breakdown at 75 V. Its electrical behavior is defined by tight voltage tolerance (±5 %), low regulation factor, and low zener impedance (56 Ω at 3.3 mA), enabling accurate clamping in low-current reference paths.
The SML4761AHE3_A/I is rated for 2000 mApk surge current (8.3 ms pulse), supports MSL level 1 handling, and maintains junction temperature up to 150 °C - confirming suitability for automotive-grade thermal environments per AEC-Q101 qualification.
