Product details
Overview
1SMA5936BT3 from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 30 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 12.5 Ω at 26 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 22.8 V. It operates from −65 °C to +150 °C and is qualified to AEC−Q101 for automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5936BT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 30 V regulation tolerance, low-profile SMA package (Case 403D), thermal resistance of 250 °C/W (junction-to-ambient), and Pb-free compliance per J-STD-609.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in DC power rails. Its 30 V nominal breakdown is specified at IZT = 26 mA with ZZT ≤12.5 Ω, and it maintains regulation down to IZK = 0.5 mA with ZZK ≤750 Ω.
The 1SMA5936BT3 features Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), UL 94 V−0 flammability compliance, and a flat handling surface optimized for automated placement. Its cathode is marked by a molded band, and it supports top-slide or bottom-board mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28.5 V min / 30 V nom / 31.5 V max at IZT = 26 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75 °C - maximum continuous power at lead temperature; derates 20 mW/°C above 75 °C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤12.5 Ω @ IZT = 26 mA - ensures stable regulation under moderate load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 22.8 V - guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby clamping circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 250 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise above ambient at given power dissipation |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
1SMA5936BT3 uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package (Case 403D), 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). Cathode is marked by a visible band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (marked band) | Regulated output node | Connected to positive rail in shunt regulator configuration; voltage referenced to this terminal |
| Anode | Reference/ground node | Typically tied to system ground or lower-potential node; completes current path during conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC−Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock testing |
| ESD robustness | Class 3 (>16 kV) Human Body Model rating enables use in unshielded board-level interfaces without external protection |
| Pb-free packaging | RoHS-compliant construction with solderable leads meeting J-STD-609 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) |
| Low-profile mounting | Height ≤2.20 mm allows integration into space-constrained PCBs and compatibility with bottom-side assembly |

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-C30LT1G | 30 V ±5%, 300 mW SOT-23 package, RJA = 350 °C/W, IZM = 10 mA max | Lower power rating limits use to sub-10 mA regulation; unsuitable for 1.5 W clamping | Select when board space is critical and power demand is ≤300 mW |
| 1N4745A | 30 V ±5%, 1 W DO-41 through-hole, RJA = 500 °C/W, IZM = 33 mA | Through-hole mounting requires manual insertion or wave soldering; higher thermal resistance reduces power margin | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where rework of footprint is not feasible |

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for 1SMA5936BT3?
The 1SMA5936BT3 has a nominal zener voltage of 30 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 28.5 V and 31.5 V when measured at IZT = 26 mA and thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official datasheet.
Is 1SMA5936BT3 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMA5936BT3 is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the Features section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix variant (SZ1SMA5936BT3G) is specifically designated for automotive use, but the 1SMA5936BT3 shares identical electrical and reliability specifications and is widely used in automotive power rail clamping and sensor reference circuits.
What is the maximum DC zener current (IZM) for 1SMA5936BT3?
The maximum DC zener current for 1SMA5936BT3 is 50 mA, derived from PD = 1.5 W and VZ ≈ 30 V (IZM = PD/VZ). This value aligns with the 50 mA entry in the IZM column for the 1SMA5936BT3 row in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet.
Does 1SMA5936BT3 have Pb-free packaging?
Yes, the "G" suffix in the ordering part number (e.g., SZ1SMA5936BT3G) denotes Pb-free packaging, and the datasheet confirms that Pb-free packages are available for the entire 1SMA59xxBT3 series. The 1SMA5936BT3 itself is offered in both standard and Pb-free variants, with identical electrical performance and RoHS compliance.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of 1SMA5936BT3 under standard FR-4 board conditions?
The thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) for 1SMA5936BT3 is 250 °C/W when mounted on an FR-4 board using onsemi's minimum recommended footprint, as stated in the Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes natural convection and defines the temperature rise per watt of dissipated power under standard PCB layout conditions.
