Product details
Overview
1PGSMB5944H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 62 V, 3 W power dissipation, 6.0 Ω zener impedance at 100 mA test current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications. It regulates voltage in power supply rails and provides stable reference in precision analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PGSMB5944H datasheet, 1PGSMB5944H pinout, 1PGSMB5944H application, or 1PGSMB5944H equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), junction temperature range (–55°C to +175°C), DO-214AA package thermal resistance (RθJA = 59°C/W), and low-inductance construction for transient suppression.
Technical Context
The 1PGSMB5944H operates as a single-die, unidirectional Zener diode with photo-glass passivated junction for enhanced reliability and moisture resistance (J-STD-020 Level 1). Its 62 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 100 mA test current (IZT), with dynamic impedance of 1500 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA) and leakage current ≤1 μA at 47.1 V reverse voltage.
Thermally, it delivers 3 W total power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) of 75°C on a 10 mm × 10 mm Cu pad PCB, derating linearly above that temperature. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 59°C/W, enabling stable operation in compact automotive and industrial power management layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (Nominal) | 62 V - precise DC voltage reference point under 100 mA bias, ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping in regulation circuits |
| Ptot | 3 W - maximum continuous power handling on standard 10 mm × 10 mm Cu pad PCB, supports robust overvoltage protection |
| ZZT @ IZT | 6.0 Ω - low dynamic impedance at rated test current, minimizes output voltage variation under load changes |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +175°C - wide operating junction temperature enables use in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| RθJA | 59°C/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from junction to ambient air, critical for thermal design margining |
| IZM (Max DC) | 24 mA - maximum steady-state zener current before thermal runaway, defines safe continuous conduction limit |
| VR @ IR | 47.1 V @ 1 μA - reverse voltage at which leakage remains negligible, confirms effective blocking below zener threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ64A | 64 V standoff voltage, 600 W peak pulse power, unidirectional TVS (not Zener-regulated) | Designed for transient suppression only; lacks precision DC regulation capability | Select SMBJ64A only when primary requirement is high-energy surge clamping, not stable DC reference |
| BZT52-B62 | 62 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 500 mW power rating, ±5% tolerance | Lower power handling limits use to low-current references (<5 mA); smaller footprint but higher RθJA | Choose BZT52-B62 for space-constrained, low-power reference designs where 3 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with SMBJ64A and BZT52-B62, the 1PGSMB5944H uniquely combines automotive-grade reliability, 3 W continuous regulation capability, and 62 V precision zener voltage in the DO-214AA package-making it optimal for high-stability, medium-power voltage reference and protection roles where both DC accuracy and transient resilience matter.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1PGSMB5944H?
The 1PGSMB5944H has a nominal zener voltage of 62 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 58.9 V and 65.1 V at 100 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and applies across the full operating temperature range of –55°C to +175°C. The 1PGSMB5944H achieves this specification using photo-glass passivation for junction stability.
Is the 1PGSMB5944H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1PGSMB5944H is AEC-Q101 qualified, confirming its suitability for automotive applications including engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS systems. It meets stress tests for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity resistance. The 1PGSMB5944H also features J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and halogen-free construction per IEC 61249-2-21, aligning with automotive manufacturing and environmental requirements.
What is the maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1PGSMB5944H?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1PGSMB5944H is 24 mA. This value is derived from the 3 W power rating and the minimum zener voltage (58.9 V), ensuring safe continuous operation without exceeding thermal limits. Exceeding 24 mA risks junction overheating, especially without adequate PCB copper area. The 1PGSMB5944H's RθJA of 59°C/W must be considered in layout design to maintain TJ ≤ 175°C.
Does the 1PGSMB5944H have a defined polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, the 1PGSMB5944H uses a cathode band to indicate polarity, consistent with DO-214AA (SMB) package standards. The band is located on the cathode end of the molded case and corresponds to the terminal that must be held at higher potential during zener operation. This marking is visible on the device body and matches the polarity diagram in the Package Outline Dimensions section of the datasheet. Correct orientation is essential for proper 1PGSMB5944H function in voltage regulation or clamping circuits.
What is the zener impedance (ZZT) of the 1PGSMB5944H, and why does it matter?
The zener impedance (ZZT) of the 1PGSMB5944H is 6.0 Ω, measured at the 100 mA test current (IZT). This low dynamic impedance means the device maintains stable output voltage under varying load conditions-critical for precision reference and regulation. A lower ZZT reduces output ripple and improves line/load regulation. For the 1PGSMB5944H, this value directly supports its use in high-accuracy analog circuits where voltage deviation must remain within tight bounds.
