Additional Details:

The FM4749W Zener diode maintains a nearly constant voltage across its terminals when reverse biased above its Zener voltage. This characteristic makes it useful for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection applications. The low reverse leakage current minimizes power dissipation. The high surge current capability allows the diode to withstand transient voltage spikes. The glass passivated junction enhances reliability. The specified Zener voltage can vary slightly, so consulting the datasheet is important for precise applications. The power dissipation rating should also be considered when selecting the appropriate Zener diode for a particular application.
