Product details
Overview
1SMA5930H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode rated for 1.5 W power dissipation, with a nominal zener voltage of 16 V (min 15.20 V, max 16.80 V) at 23.4 mA test current, 10 Ω dynamic impedance, and maximum leakage current of 0.5 µA at 12.2 V reverse bias. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in DC/DC converters and SMPS feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5930H datasheet, 1SMA5930H pinout, 1SMA5930H application, or 1SMA5930H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility with automated placement, glass-passivated junction, and guaranteed ±5% voltage tolerance at thermal equilibrium.
Technical Context
The 1SMA5930H operates as a single-die, unidirectional Zener regulator with cathode-band polarity indication. Its junction temperature range spans −55 °C to +150 °C, and it maintains stable regulation under DC conditions up to 1.5 W at 75 °C lead temperature, derating linearly above that point.
Electrical behavior is defined by three critical operating points: zener voltage VZ = 16 V @ IZT = 23.4 mA, knee impedance ZZK = 600 Ω @ IZK = 0.25 mA, and maximum DC zener current IZM = 94 mA - enabling reliable operation in both regulation and transient clamping roles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.20–16.80 V at 23.4 mA - defines tight ±5% tolerance band for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W at TL = 75 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact, thermally constrained layouts |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω @ 23.4 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <0.5 µA @ 12.2 V - enables low-power standby mode integrity in battery-backed circuits |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | −55 °C to +150 °C - qualifies for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3B (HBM) per JEDEC - withstands ≥8 kV human-body-model discharge without degradation |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles and pick-and-place equipment |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AC (SMA) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, cathode indicated by a single band, weight ≈0.060 g, UL 94V-0 rated compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | 12 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 through-hole package | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; unsuitable for automotive or high-reliability surface-mount designs | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive prototyping where manual assembly and lower power suffice |
| BZX84-C16 | 16 V nominal, 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance | Lower power capability limits use to signal-level clamping or low-current references | Prefer for space-constrained logic-level protection; avoid in power regulation where 1.5 W dissipation is required |
Compared with 1SMA5930H, the 1N4742A lacks automotive qualification and surface-mount compatibility, while the BZX84-C16 offers identical voltage but insufficient power handling - making 1SMA5930H the sole choice for AEC-Q101-compliant, 1.5 W, SMA-packaged 16 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1SMA5930H?
The 1SMA5930H has a nominal zener voltage of 16 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, corresponding to a minimum of 15.20 V and maximum of 16.80 V when measured at IZT = 23.4 mA and thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the ordering code and confirmed in the electrical specifications table of the official datasheet Version A2102.
Is the 1SMA5930H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMA5930H is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD per JEDEC standards. Its DO-214AC package, −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, and Class 3B HBM ESD rating make it appropriate for under-hood and body-control module applications where the 1SMA5930H is deployed as a voltage reference or clamp.
What is the maximum DC zener current for the 1SMA5930H?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1SMA5930H is 94 mA, calculated from PD = 1.5 W and VZ = 16 V. This value is specified in the Electrical Specifications table and reflects the highest continuous current the 1SMA5930H can sustain without exceeding its power rating at thermal equilibrium.
Does the 1SMA5930H have a glass-passivated junction?
Yes, the 1SMA5930H features a glass-passivated chip junction, as stated in the FEATURES section of the official datasheet. This construction improves long-term parameter stability, reduces leakage drift under thermal stress, and enhances resistance to environmental contaminants compared to epoxy-passivated alternatives.
What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the 1SMA5930H?
The 1SMA5930H has a moisture sensitivity level of MSL 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates pre-conditioning steps in manufacturing and reduces risk of popcorning during assembly - a key advantage for high-volume production using the 1SMA5930H.
