Product details
Overview
ZM4764A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 100 V, 1.0 W surface-mount Zener diode in MELF glass package, rated for ±5% tolerance at 25°C, with 350 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 2.5 mA test current and 5.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 76 V, used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ZM4764A-13 datasheet, ZM4764A-13 pinout, ZM4764A-13 application, or ZM4764A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (100 V), power dissipation (1.0 W), thermal resistance (170 °C/W), MELF package dimensions (A: 4.8–5.2 mm, B: 2.4–2.6 mm), and derating behavior above 50°C ambient.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its sharp knee characteristic-verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement at 10% AC superimposition on DC test current-ensures reliable regulation stability and low noise performance.
The device features a glass-passivated MELF structure with solderable terminals per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, enabling high reliability in thermally demanding environments. Its −65°C to +200°C operating range supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 100 V ±5% @ IZT = 2.5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 1.0 W @ TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 350 Ω max @ IZT = 2.5 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; lower values improve line/load regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5.0 µA max @ VR = 76 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 170 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise per watt; critical for PCB layout thermal design |
| Surge Current (IZS) | 45 A @ 8.3 ms - defines single-event transient energy absorption capability (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse 1) |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +200°C - enables use in extended-temperature industrial and automotive control modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face), glass body with axial cathode band marking; dimensions A = 4.8–5.2 mm (length), B = 2.4–2.6 mm (diameter), C = 0.55 mm (lead diameter); weight ≈ 0.25 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Use Scenario: Stabilizes excitation voltage for 4–20 mA current-loop pressure sensors in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as temperature-stable voltage reference for analog front-end biasing. Use Value: Maintains regulation accuracy across −40°C to +85°C ambient due to wide Tj range and low thermal coefficient. | Use Scenario: Protects 24 V digital input channels from field-wiring induced surges and polarity reversal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as bidirectional clamp (with series resistor) limiting input voltage to safe levels. Use Value: Delivers <5 µA leakage at 76 V, minimizing false triggering in high-impedance PLC input stages. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAZ100-13 | 100 V, 1.0 W, DO-214AC package; 200 Ω ZZT @ 2.5 mA; 10 µA IR @ 76 V | Lower ZZT improves regulation but higher leakage increases quiescent error | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where thermal mass is less critical than footprint size |
| DFLZ100Q-7 | 100 V, 1.0 W, SOD-123FL package; 250 Ω ZZT @ 2.5 mA; 1 µA IR @ 76 V; AEC-Q200 qualified | Lower leakage and automotive qualification enable direct replacement in safety-critical ECUs | Required for new automotive designs needing AEC-Q200 compliance and tighter leakage control |
Compared with ZM4764A-13, SMAZ100-13 offers better regulation stiffness but trades off leakage-induced offset error, while DFLZ100Q-7 adds AEC-Q200 qualification and lower leakage at the cost of reduced surge current margin (30 A vs. 45 A).

FAQ
Is ZM4764A-13 still in active production?
No, ZM4764A-13 is officially discontinued per Diodes Incorporated's DS18009 Rev. 4 datasheet. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports transition to SMAZ100-13 or DFLZ100Q-7 with full parametric and qualification alignment documentation.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for ZM4764A-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +200°C, consistent with its specified storage and operating temperature range. At 25°C ambient, full 1.0 W power dissipation is allowed; above 50°C ambient, linear derating applies per Figure 1 (170 °C/W RJA).
Can ZM4764A-13 be used in place of a 1N4764A?
Yes-ZM4764A-13 is functionally identical to 1N4764A in electrical specifications (100 V, 1.0 W, ±5%), but differs in packaging: ZM4764A-13 uses MELF glass, whereas 1N4764A typically uses DO-41. Mechanical fit and thermal profile must be validated for the target PCB layout.
How does the 8.3 ms surge rating translate to real-world transient protection?
The 45 A rating at 8.3 ms corresponds to the standardized ISO 7637-2 Load Dump Pulse 5a waveform. This enables direct use in 12 V/24 V automotive systems without additional series impedance, provided board-level layout minimizes parasitic inductance in the clamping path.
