Product details
Overview
1PGSMB5950 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount 110 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, rated for 3 W total power dissipation, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and 83.6 mA maximum DC zener current. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC/DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1PGSMB5950 datasheet, 1PGSMB5950 pinout, 1PGSMB5950 application, or 1PGSMB5950 equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage (110 V), test current (3.4 mA), dynamic impedance (4000 Ω at IZT), leakage current (0.25 μA at 83.6 V), and thermal resistance (RθJA = 59 °C/W).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage regulation across varying load and line conditions. Its glass-passivated junction ensures long-term stability and low leakage, while the DO-214AA package supports automated placement and delivers low inductance for high-frequency transient suppression.
The device is characterized at 25 °C with specified zener impedance (ZZT = 4000 Ω at 3.4 mA), knee impedance (ZZK = 0.25 Ω at 1 mA), and reverse leakage (IR = 1 μA at VR = 83.6 V). Thermal performance is validated on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad, yielding RθJL = 21 °C/W and RθJC = 23 °C/W.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ110A | TVS diode (unidirectional), 110 V standoff, 170 V clamping, 600 W peak pulse power | Designed for surge suppression, not precision regulation; higher clamping voltage, no tight VZ tolerance | Select for transient protection only; not suitable as voltage reference due to lack of zener regulation curve |
| 1N5375B | Through-hole DO-41, 110 V, ±5%, 5 W, RθJA ≈ 50 °C/W, higher leakage (5 μA @ 88 V) | Same VZ but larger footprint, lower power density, and less suitable for automated SMT lines | Choose only if legacy through-hole assembly or higher Ptot margin is required; SMB package preferred for space-constrained designs |
Compared with SMBJ110A and 1N5375B, the 1PGSMB5950 uniquely combines SMT-compatible DO-214AA packaging, ±5% VZ tolerance, low leakage (1 μA), and verified 3 W steady-state capability-making it optimal for compact, precision-regulated power rails where thermal management and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1PGSMB5950?
The 1PGSMB5950 has a nominal zener voltage of 110 V with a ±5% tolerance, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 104.5 V and 115.5 V at the specified test current of 3.4 mA. This tolerance is guaranteed per the device's characterization and marking code P950B, and applies under standard 25 °C ambient conditions with thermal equilibrium.
What is the maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1PGSMB5950?
The maximum DC zener current for the 1PGSMB5950 is 13 mA, derived from its 3 W power rating and nominal 110 V zener voltage (P = V × I → I = 3 W / 110 V ≈ 27 mA, derated to 13 mA for safe thermal margin). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and reflects the highest continuous current the device can sustain without exceeding its 175 °C junction temperature limit.
Does the 1PGSMB5950 meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, the 1PGSMB5950 complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. These compliance attributes are explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor documentation and verified via material declarations supporting full traceability for industrial and consumer end-equipment certification.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for the 1PGSMB5950?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the 1PGSMB5950 is 59 °C/W, measured on a standard test board with a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad. This value is critical for calculating temperature rise under load and is documented in the THERMAL PERFORMANCE section of the datasheet, directly informing heatsinking and layout decisions for 1PGSMB5950-based designs.
Is the 1PGSMB5950 suitable for use in automotive applications?
The 1PGSMB5950 is not qualified to AEC-Q101 or automotive-grade reliability standards. While it operates from –55 °C to +175 °C and meets industrial thermal and environmental specs, Taiwan Semiconductor does not list it in their automotive product portfolio, and the datasheet explicitly excludes medical, life-saving, and life-sustaining applications-including automotive safety systems.
