Product details
Overview
1SMA5927H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 12 V, ±5% tolerance, 31.2 mA test current, and 6.5 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT - designed for precision voltage regulation in DC/DC converters and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5927H datasheet, 1SMA5927H pinout, 1SMA5927H application, or 1SMA5927H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-214AC (SMA) package, low leakage (<0.5 µA at 9.1 V), glass-passivated junction, and Class 3B HBM ESD rating - all critical for automotive and industrial power rail stabilization.
Technical Context
The 1SMA5927H operates as a single-die, unidirectional voltage reference device with a specified zener voltage range of 11.40–12.60 V at 31.2 mA, junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C, and thermal derating starting at 75°C (20 mW/°C). Its low-inductance SMA package supports high-frequency stability in switching regulator feedback paths.
It features a regulated impedance of ≤6.5 Ω at IZT and ≤550 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA), with maximum DC zener current of 125 mA and peak forward surge current of 10 A (8.3 ms half-sine). Polarity is indicated by cathode band per JEDEC standard.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.40–12.60 V @ 31.2 mA - ensures stable 12 V reference within ±5% across production lots and temperature |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W at TL = 75°C - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts with copper pad thermal management |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | ≤6.5 Ω @ IZT - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients in feedback circuits |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <0.5 µA @ 9.1 V - preserves efficiency in low-power standby modes and high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | −55°C to +150°C - enables operation in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3B (HBM) - withstands ≥8 kV human-body-model discharge without parameter shift or failure |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated placement and reflow profiles per J-STD-020 Level 1 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor 1N4742A | Same 12 V nominal rating but ±5% tolerance, 1 W power rating, DO-41 through-hole package | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; lacks AEC-Q101 and moisture level 1 certification | Use only in non-automotive, cost-sensitive prototyping where thermal derating margin is sufficient |
| Vishay SZ1SMA5927HE3/LF | Identical 12 V specification, DO-214AC package, AEC-Q101 qualified, but rated for 1.5 W at TL = 50°C (not 75°C) | Slightly more conservative thermal derating curve - may require larger copper area for same power handling | Preferred where Vishay supply chain alignment or dual-sourcing is required; verify layout thermal performance |
Compared with 1SMA5927H, the 1N4742A offers lower cost but sacrifices automotive qualification and surface-mount compatibility, while the SZ1SMA5927HE3/LF matches form/function but demands tighter thermal design validation for 1.5 W operation.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance and test condition for 1SMA5927H?
The 1SMA5927H has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, specified as 11.40–12.60 V at a test current (IZT) of 31.2 mA and ambient temperature of 25°C. This tolerance is guaranteed at thermal equilibrium per datasheet Note 2, and applies across the full operating junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C.
Is 1SMA5927H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMA5927H is AEC-Q101 qualified and tested for automotive-grade reliability, including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and human-body-model ESD (Class 3B, ≥8 kV). It is explicitly recommended for on-board DC/DC converters and lighting applications in vehicles per its official documentation.
What is the maximum DC zener current rating for 1SMA5927H?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for 1SMA5927H is 125 mA, derived from its 1.5 W power rating and nominal 12 V zener voltage (PD/VZ ≈ 125 mA). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table and assumes operation at TL = 75°C with proper PCB thermal management.
Does 1SMA5927H have a defined polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, 1SMA5927H uses a cathode band to indicate polarity, consistent with JEDEC DO-214AC (SMA) standard. The band is located on the cathode end of the molded package and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in reverse-bias voltage regulation configurations.
What is the leakage current specification for 1SMA5927H, and at what voltage is it measured?
The leakage current (IR) for 1SMA5927H is specified as ≤0.5 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 9.1 V - which is 76% of its nominal zener voltage. This low leakage supports high-impedance feedback networks and minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-backed or energy-efficient systems.
