SML4738A-E3

Vishay Intertech · Zener Diodes · DO-214AC(SMA)

SML4738A-E3 from Vishay Intertech, in a DO-214AC(SMA). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode (marked with the cathode band) of the Zener diode; SML4738A has a nominal VZ of 8.2 V at IZT 31 mA with ±5 % tolerance.
2 A passive Anode of the Zener diode, the terminal opposite the cathode band on the DO-214AC (SMA) package.
