Product details
Overview
1SMA5929H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 15 V, 1.5 W power rating, 25.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 25 mA test current, and DO-214AC (SMA) package. It delivers stable voltage regulation in DC/DC converters and SMPS feedback loops where precision clamping and low leakage (<0.5 µA at 11.4 V) are required.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5929H datasheet, 1SMA5929H pinout, 1SMA5929H application, or 1SMA5929H equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% VZ tolerance, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability, JEDEC Class 3B HBM ESD rating, and 150°C maximum junction temperature - all verified under thermal equilibrium conditions.
Technical Context
The 1SMA5929H operates as a single-die, glass-passivated Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-biased voltage regulation. Its 15 V nominal breakdown is specified at IZT = 25.0 mA, with ZZT = 9.0 Ω and ZZK = 600 Ω at IZK = 0.25 mA, enabling precise low-current reference and overvoltage protection.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pads, it features low inductance, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and meets UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance standards. Polarity is marked by cathode band; moisture sensitivity level is J-STD-020 Level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (Nominal) | 15 V - Stable regulation point at 25 mA test current, ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping in feedback networks. |
| PD | 1.5 W - Maximum steady-state dissipation at TL = 75°C; derates 20 mW/°C above 75°C on standard Cu pad. |
| ZZT @ IZT | 9.0 Ω - Low dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation in regulation circuits. |
| IR @ VR | <0.5 µA at 11.4 V - Ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias/reference paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4744A | 14 V nominal VZ, 1 W rating, DO-41 through-hole package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not suitable for automotive or high-reliability SMT production; requires manual insertion or wave soldering | Select only for cost-sensitive prototyping or non-automotive legacy board refreshes. |
| BZX84-C15 | 15 V nominal VZ, 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance, no AEC-Q101 or Class 3B ESD | Limited power handling restricts use to signal-level clamping; unsuitable for power rail regulation | Use only in low-power logic interface protection where 1.5 W dissipation is unnecessary. |
Compared with 1SMA5929H, the 1N4744A lacks surface-mount compatibility and automotive qualification, while the BZX84-C15 sacrifices 5× power capability and fails to meet critical reliability standards - making 1SMA5929H the sole choice for AEC-Q101-compliant, 15 V, 1.5 W SMT Zener regulation.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for 1SMA5929H?
The 1SMA5929H has a ±5% zener voltage tolerance, with guaranteed minimum/maximum values of 14.25 V and 15.75 V at IZT = 25.0 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Specifications table and applies across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.
Is 1SMA5929H qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMA5929H is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and ESD per JEDEC standards. This qualification confirms suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics, including engine control modules and body control units.
What is the maximum peak forward surge current rating for 1SMA5929H?
The 1SMA5929H supports a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 10 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine waveform at TA = 25°C. This rating enables robust transient handling during power-up surges and fault conditions in switching power supplies and motor drivers.
Does 1SMA5929H require moisture baking before reflow soldering?
No, the 1SMA5929H has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and placed directly into reflow without preconditioning or baking - simplifying SMT line integration and reducing manufacturing overhead.
How does the dynamic impedance of 1SMA5929H affect regulation accuracy?
The 1SMA5929H exhibits ZZT = 9.0 Ω at IZT = 25.0 mA, which limits voltage deviation to <±0.225 V for ±25 mA load current changes. This low impedance ensures tight regulation in feedback loops and reference circuits where output stability under varying load is essential.
