Product details
Overview
SML4764HE3_A/I from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount Zener diode rated for 100 V nominal Zener voltage at 2.5 mA test current, with ±5 % tolerance (suffix A), 76 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and 3000 mApk surge current capability. 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 SML4764HE3_A/I datasheet, SML4764HE3_A/I pinout, SML4764HE3_A/I application, or SML4764HE3_A/I equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 1000 mW power dissipation at TL = 75 °C, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating - all critical for automotive and industrial power supply designs.
Technical Context
This device functions as a single-element, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased voltage reference operation. Its low regulation factor and low Zener impedance ensure minimal output voltage variation under load and temperature shifts.
The SML4764HE3_A/I is constructed in an SMA (DO-214AC) plastic package with cathode band marking, rated for 260 °C/10 s soldering, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with typical ΘVZ ≈ +110 mV/°C at 100 V.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SML4764HE3_A/I?
The SML4764HE3_A/I has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5 %, indicated by the "A" suffix in its part number. At 25 °C and IZT = 2.5 mA, its nominal VZ is 100 V, meaning the actual measured voltage falls between 95 V and 105 V. This tighter tolerance supports precision regulation in feedback loops and voltage reference circuits where ±10 % variants would introduce unacceptable error.
Is SML4764HE3_A/I qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SML4764HE3_A/I is AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed by Vishay's documentation for the SML47xxHE3_X family (where "_X" denotes AEC-Q101 revision code). This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - validating its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SML4764HE3_A/I at ambient temperature?
The SML4764HE3_A/I is rated for 1000 mW total power dissipation at lead temperature TL = 75 °C, not ambient temperature. Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet: at TL = 150 °C, power drops to zero. For PCB-mounted operation on 8 mm × 8 mm copper pads, usable continuous power at 25 °C ambient exceeds 500 mW depending on layout and airflow.
Does SML4764HE3_A/I have a specified dynamic impedance?
Yes, the SML4764HE3_A/I has a specified dynamic impedance (ZZ) of 76 Ω at IZT = 2.5 mA and TA = 25 °C. This parameter reflects how tightly the Zener voltage is maintained under small-signal AC variations - critical for noise-sensitive references and feedback networks where low impedance minimizes output ripple coupling.
What does the "HE3_A/I" suffix mean in SML4764HE3_A/I?
In SML4764HE3_A/I, "HE3" indicates RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified construction; "A" specifies ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance; and "/I" denotes tape-and-reel packaging per Vishay's ordering convention (1800 units per 7-inch reel). The full designation confirms automotive-grade, tight-tolerance, surface-mount Zener diode in SMA package with traceable, compliant sourcing.
