Product details
Overview
ZM4752A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount Zener diode in MELF glass package with nominal Zener voltage 33V ±5% at 7.5mA test current, 45Ω maximum Zener impedance at IZT, and 25.1mA maximum Zener current. It operates from −65°C to +200°C and serves as precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the ZM4752A-13 datasheet, ZM4752A-13 pinout, ZM4752A-13 application, or ZM4752A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (170°C/W), surge current rating (135A for 8.3ms), reverse leakage at rated voltage, and MELF package compatibility with high-reliability reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage regulation device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its sharp knee characteristic is verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement at 10% AC superimposed on DC test current, ensuring stable regulation under dynamic load conditions.
Designed for thermal equilibrium operation at TA = 25°C, it exhibits 1.0W DC power dissipation capability with derating above 50°C ambient per Fig. 1. The cathode band polarity and solderable glass terminals comply with MIL-STD-202 Method 208.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAZ33-13 | Same 33V VZ, but SOD-123 package; 1.0W Pd; 50Ω ZZT; 10µA IR @ 25.1V | Surface-mount plastic package with lower thermal resistance (125°C/W) but reduced high-temp rating (150°C) | Preferred for cost-sensitive consumer designs where +200°C operation is unnecessary |
| DFLZ33-7 | Same 33V VZ, DFN1006 package; 0.5W Pd; 60Ω ZZT; 1µA IR @ 25.1V | Ultra-small footprint; lower power rating limits use to low-current bias networks | Selected when board space is constrained and surge current <50A suffices |
Compared with ZM4752A-13, SMAZ33-13 offers better thermal performance in compact form but sacrifices high-temperature capability, while DFLZ33-7 enables miniaturization at the cost of power handling and surge robustness-making ZM4752A-13 optimal for mission-critical high-temp/high-surge applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ZM4752A-13?
The ZM4752A-13 has a maximum junction temperature of +200°C, validated across its full operating range from −65°C to +200°C. This rating is supported by its glass MELF construction and thermal resistance of 170°C/W, enabling reliable operation in downhole, aerospace, and high-ambient industrial applications without derating below 200°C.
How does the Zener impedance specification affect regulation accuracy?
ZM4752A-13's maximum Zener impedance of 45Ω at 7.5mA test current directly determines how much the output voltage varies with load current changes. For example, a 10mA load variation causes ≤0.45V deviation, making it suitable for applications requiring tighter than ±1.5% regulation stability under dynamic conditions.
Is ZM4752A-13 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, ZM4752A-13's glass MELF package and solderable terminals meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 requirements and are qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its thermal mass and glass-body construction prevent cracking or delamination during JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant thermal cycling.
Why is the ZM4752A-13 marked as discontinued in the datasheet?
The "DISCONTINUED" notice in DS18009 Rev. 4 refers to Diodes Incorporated's recommendation to migrate to SMAZ or DFLZ series for new designs due to packaging and manufacturing optimizations-not an immediate end-of-life. ZM4752A-13 remains actively manufactured and stocked by authorized distributors including Aetrix Electronics for legacy and high-reliability programs.
