Product details
Overview
1SMA5935 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5W surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 27V (±5%), 13.9Ω dynamic impedance at 23mA test current, and maximum leakage current of 0.5µA at 20.6V. It operates from −55°C to +150°C and is used for voltage regulation in DC/DC converters and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5935 datasheet, 1SMA5935 pinout, 1SMA5935 application, or 1SMA5935 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC (SMA) package, 27V regulation tolerance, thermal derating above 75°C, and Class 3B HBM ESD rating - all critical for compact, high-reliability power management designs.
Technical Context
The 1SMA5935 functions as a single-die, glass-passivated Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in low-inductance SMT layouts. Its 13.9Ω zener impedance at 23mA and 0.25V maximum knee voltage ensure tight regulation under varying load conditions.
Designed for operation up to 150°C junction temperature, it features a cathode-band polarity indicator, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and meets JEDEC JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1SMA5935?
The 1SMA5935 has a nominal zener voltage of 27 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual VZ falls between 25.65 V and 28.35 V at 23 mA test current under thermal equilibrium conditions, as specified in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision L2102.
Does 1SMA5935 support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, the 1SMA5935 uses a DO-214AC (SMA) package with matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements and is explicitly rated for automated placement. Its low-profile design and Level 1 moisture sensitivity eliminate pre-bake steps in standard reflow processes.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for 1SMA5935?
The 1SMA5935 is rated for a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C and a storage temperature range of −55°C to +150°C. This allows reliable operation in high-temperature environments such as enclosed power supplies or under-hood automotive modules.
How does the 1SMA5935 compare to older through-hole Zeners like 1N4733A?
The 1SMA5935 offers identical 27V regulation but in a surface-mount DO-214AC package with 1.5W power rating (vs. 1W for 1N4733A), Class 3B ESD rating, and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity - enabling higher reliability and automated manufacturing not possible with the legacy 1N4733A.
Is 1SMA5935 halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1SMA5935 is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and all materials are certified for environmentally restricted markets including the EU and China RoHS.
