Product details
Overview
1SMA5916BT3 from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 4.3 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 87.2 Ω at 6.0 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤2.5 μA at 2.5 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC regulation circuits, including power supply feedback paths and microcontroller I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5916BT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 4.3 V nominal breakdown, 1.5 W power rating at TL = 75°C, AEC-Q101 qualification status (SZ-prefix variant), Pb-free SMA package compatibility, and ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or line conditions. Its zener voltage is specified at IZT = 6.0 mA with tight ±5% tolerance and exhibits low dynamic impedance (87.2 Ω) for effective regulation stability. Thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 50 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
The SMA package (Case 403D-02) supports top-slide or bottom-board mounting with flat handling surface and cathode band polarity marking. It replaces legacy MELF packages while meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability and Pb-free compliance requirements per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V nominal (min 4.08 V, max 4.52 V) - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator configurations |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with heatsink-equivalent lead thermal path |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 87.2 Ω @ IZT = 6.0 mA - determines AC regulation error under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2.5 μA @ VR = 2.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robustness against electrostatic discharge during board handling and assembly |
| Operating Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
The 1SMA5916BT3 uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package (Case 403D-02), measuring 4.06–4.57 mm in length (E), 2.29–2.92 mm in width (D), and 1.97–2.20 mm in height (A), with cathode indicated by a molded band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked band) | High-side terminal in reverse-bias operation | Connected to regulated voltage node; absorbs excess current when input exceeds VZ |
| Anode | Low-side terminal / reference ground | Tied to system ground or feedback reference point; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C4V3 | 300 mW SOT-23 package; higher ZZT (90 Ω); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower power budget; not suitable for automotive under-hood or high-reliability industrial use | Select when footprint space is constrained and power dissipation ≤300 mW suffices |
| 1N4733A | 1 W through-hole DO-41; higher ZZT (10 Ω); larger thermal resistance (100 °C/W) | Requires PCB real estate for axial leads; less suitable for automated SMT assembly | Select for legacy through-hole designs or where manual repair access is prioritized over density |
Compared with BZX84-C4V3 and 1N4733A, the 1SMA5916BT3 delivers higher power handling (1.5 W), lower profile SMT packaging, AEC-Q101 readiness, and tighter regulation performance-making it optimal for modern automotive and space-constrained industrial regulators.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1SMA5916BT3?
The 1SMA5916BT3 has a nominal zener voltage of 4.3 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 4.08 V and 4.52 V at IZT = 6.0 mA and thermal equilibrium. This specification is validated per the onsemi datasheet Rev. 7 and applies directly to the 1SMA5916BT3 part number.
Is the 1SMA5916BT3 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the SZ-prefix variant (SZ1SMA5916BT3G) is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, but the standard 1SMA5916BT3 is not explicitly certified. For automotive use, specify the SZ1SMA5916BT3G version; both share identical electrical specs, but only the SZ variant undergoes full automotive stress testing and documentation.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the 1SMA5916BT3 at room temperature?
The 1SMA5916BT3 dissipates up to 0.5 W at TA = 25°C, derating linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. At TL = 75°C (lead temperature), it sustains 1.5 W-this higher rating assumes efficient heat conduction via PCB copper pads, per the datasheet's FR-4 board test condition.
Does the 1SMA5916BT3 have Pb-free construction?
Yes-the "G" suffix in the ordering code (e.g., 1SMA5916BT3G) denotes Pb-free and RoHS-compliant construction. The base part number 1SMA5916BT3 may be supplied in either standard or Pb-free form depending on manufacturing lot; for guaranteed Pb-free compliance, order the 1SMA5916BT3G variant.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1SMA5916BT3?
The 1SMA5916BT3 exhibits reverse leakage current (IR) ≤2.5 μA when biased at VR = 2.5 V, measured at TA = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference or bias networks, preserving accuracy in precision analog circuits using the 1SMA5916BT3.
