Product details
Overview
1SMA5939H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode engineered for precision voltage regulation in power supply and DC/DC converter circuits. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 39 V with ±5% tolerance, 1.5 W power dissipation, 9.6 Ω dynamic impedance at 9.6 mA test current, and leakage current <0.5 µA at 31.2 V reverse bias - enabling stable reference operation in automotive-grade SMPS designs.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5939H datasheet, 1SMA5939H pinout, 1SMA5939H application, or 1SMA5939H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility with automated placement, low-inductance glass-passivated junction, and verified 39 V regulation under 9.6 mA IZT with TJ ≤ 150°C.
Technical Context
The 1SMA5939H operates as a single-die, unidirectional voltage reference device with a cathode-band polarity indicator and a silicon PN junction passivated by glass for enhanced reliability. Its thermal design supports continuous operation up to 150°C junction temperature, with power derating beginning at 75°C on a 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad.
Electrical behavior is defined by tight zener voltage limits (37.05–40.95 V), low dynamic impedance (9.6 Ω at IZT = 9.6 mA), and minimal leakage (<0.5 µA at VR = 31.2 V), making it suitable for high-stability feedback loops where regulation accuracy and low noise are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 37.05–40.95 V at IZT = 9.6 mA - ensures ±5% regulation accuracy for 39 V nominal reference applications |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W at TL = 75°C - supports robust thermal performance in compact board layouts with copper pad heatsinking |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 9.6 Ω at IZT = 9.6 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients in feedback networks |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <0.5 µA at VR = 31.2 V - preserves low quiescent current in standby-mode power stages |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | −55°C to +150°C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| ESD Rating | Class 3B (HBM) per JEDEC - withstands ≥8 kV human-body-model ESD events without degradation |
| Package | DO-214AC (SMA) - surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | Same 39 V nominal rating but 1 W PD, higher ZZT (10 Ω), non-AEC-Q101, DO-41 through-hole package | Not suitable for automotive SMT production or high-power-density layouts requiring 1.5 W dissipation | Select 1SMA5939H when AEC-Q101 compliance, surface-mount assembly, or >1 W continuous power is required. |
| BZX84-C39 | 39 V nominal, 300 mW PD, SOT-23 package, ZZT = 90 Ω at 5 mA, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to low-power signal-level regulation; insufficient for power supply feedback or clamping roles | Choose 1SMA5939H for primary-side or high-current shunt regulation where thermal robustness and low impedance are essential. |

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range guaranteed for the 1SMA5939H?
The 1SMA5939H guarantees a zener voltage range of 37.05 V to 40.95 V at a test current of 9.6 mA and thermal equilibrium, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 39 V rating. This specification is validated per the manufacturer's electrical test conditions and applies strictly to the 1SMA5939H variant within the 1SMA5926H–1SMA5956H family.
Is the 1SMA5939H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMA5939H is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature, making it suitable for automotive under-hood and cabin applications including on-board DC/DC converters and ADAS power management. Its glass-passivated junction and Class 3B HBM ESD rating further support harsh automotive environments.
What is the maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1SMA5939H?
The maximum DC zener current for the 1SMA5939H is 38 mA, calculated from its 1.5 W power rating and nominal 39 V zener voltage (IZM = PD/VZ). This value is confirmed in the manufacturer's electrical specifications table and reflects continuous operation at thermal equilibrium with proper PCB copper pad heatsinking.
Does the 1SMA5939H have a specified capacitance value?
No capacitance value is specified for the 1SMA5939H in the provided documentation. While characteristic curves show capacitance vs. voltage for representative voltages (e.g., Fig.2), no discrete CJ value is listed in the electrical specifications table for the 1SMA5939H itself. Designers should refer to typical curves or measure in-circuit if high-frequency response is critical.
What is the marking code printed on the 1SMA5939H package?
The 1SMA5939H is marked with the code "939A" on its DO-214AC (SMA) package body. This marking appears adjacent to the cathode band and is used for visual identification and traceability during assembly and inspection per the manufacturer's ordering information and marking diagram.
