Product details
Overview
SML4762AHE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 82 V, ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 3 mA test current, 62.2 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 3000 mApk surge current rating. It operates in single-diode configuration within the SMA (DO-214AC) package and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the SML4762AHE3_A/I datasheet, SML4762AHE3_A/I pinout, SML4762AHE3_A/I application, or SML4762AHE3_A/I equivalent, this device is selected for stable reference generation in industrial power supplies, automotive ECU voltage clamping, and telecom surge-protected bias networks where low Zener impedance and AEC-Q101 qualification are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode delivers regulated reverse breakdown at 82 V with tight ±5 % tolerance, tested at 3 mA (IZT1) and validated under 25 °C ambient conditions. Its 62.2 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients, while the 200 Ω knee impedance (ZZK at IZT2 = 0.25 mA) supports stable operation near threshold.
The device is rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation at 75 °C lead temperature, junction temperature up to 150 °C, and storage from –65 °C to +150 °C. It meets UL 94 V-0 flammability and J-STD-020 MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements, enabling reflow compatibility up to 260 °C for 10 s.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C82LT1G | 82 V ±5 %, SOT-23 package, 350 mW Ptot, 90 Ω ZZ | Lower power rating and higher impedance limit use to sub-100 mW bias networks | Select when board space is constrained and thermal budget permits lower dissipation |
| 1N4742A | 12 V nominal, DO-41 through-hole, 1 W Ptot, ±5 %, 9.1 Ω ZZ | Not voltage-compatible; serves different regulation tiers and requires PCB through-hole layout | Choose only for legacy 12 V reference redesigns where footprint and voltage match existing design |
Compared with BZX84-C82LT1G, SML4762AHE3_A/I offers 1000 mW power handling and lower dynamic impedance for higher-current regulation; versus 1N4742A, it provides 82 V clamping in surface-mount form but is not a drop-in replacement due to voltage and package mismatch.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SML4762AHE3_A/I?
The SML4762AHE3_A/I has a nominal Zener voltage of 82 V with ±5 % tolerance, as indicated by the "A" suffix in the part number. This tolerance is verified at 3 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature per Vishay's Rev. 2.2 datasheet. The tighter tolerance reduces calibration overhead in precision reference designs compared to standard ±10 % variants.
Is SML4762AHE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SML4762AHE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by its HE3_X ordering code format (where "X" denotes revision) and explicit listing in Vishay's AEC-Q101-compliant Zener diode documentation. This qualification covers stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias HAST, and mechanical shock-making it suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What is the maximum surge current rating for SML4762AHE3_A/I?
The SML4762AHE3_A/I is rated for 55 mApk non-repetitive surge current, defined as an 8.3 ms pulse width square wave or equivalent sine-wave superimposed on the 3 mA test current per JEDEC methodology. This value appears in the "IRM" column of the electrical characteristics table for SML4762A in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 85782, Rev. 2.2).
What package type does SML4762AHE3_A/I use?
SML4762AHE3_A/I uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package, with dimensions of 4.93 mm × 2.92 mm × 2.29 mm and a cathode band marking. It features UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity, and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds-fully compatible with standard lead-free assembly processes.
How does the dynamic impedance of SML4762AHE3_A/I affect circuit performance?
The SML4762AHE3_A/I exhibits 62.2 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) at 3 mA test current, directly impacting voltage regulation stability. In a shunt regulator, this value determines how much the output voltage shifts per unit change in load current-for example, a ±0.5 mA load variation causes ~±31 mV deviation. Lower ZZ improves regulation but requires careful thermal design due to higher power dissipation at nominal current.
