Product details
Overview
1SMA5943H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 56V (±5%), dynamic impedance of 1300Ω at 6.7mA test current, and maximum DC zener current of 27mA. It features glass passivated junction, AEC-Q101 qualification, and low leakage current (<0.5μA at 42.6V), designed for precision voltage regulation in compact power converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5943H datasheet, 1SMA5943H pinout, 1SMA5943H application, or 1SMA5943H equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility, thermal derating behavior above 75°C, junction temperature range (–55°C to +150°C), and compliance with JEDEC Class 3B HBM ESD rating.
Technical Context
The 1SMA5943H operates as a single-die, unidirectional voltage reference device with tightly controlled zener breakdown characteristics. Its 56V nominal voltage is guaranteed at thermal equilibrium with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains stable regulation under DC bias up to 1.5W dissipation at TL = 75°C.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, the device exhibits low inductance, moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, and matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. The cathode band polarity marking and UL 94V-0 molding compound support automated placement and high-reliability board assembly.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMZ56A (ON Semiconductor) | Same DO-214AC package; 56V ±5%, but 1.0W rating and higher ZZT (2000Ω) | Limited to lower-power feedback or clamping; not rated for 1.5W continuous dissipation | Select when thermal budget is constrained and peak power <1W; verify derating curve alignment |
| BZX84-C56 (Diodes Inc.) | SOT-23 package; same 56V ±5%, but only 300mW rating and higher leakage (≤1.0μA) | Restricted to signal-level references or low-current biasing; unsuitable for power-stage clamping | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 1.5W dissipation is unnecessary and footprint reduction is critical |
Compared with SMZ56A and BZX84-C56, the 1SMA5943H delivers higher power handling (1.5W vs. 1.0W/0.3W), lower leakage, and automotive qualification-making it the preferred choice for thermally demanding, high-reliability 56V regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1SMA5943H?
The 1SMA5943H has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a nominal value of 56V and guaranteed limits of 53.2V (minimum) and 58.8V (maximum) at thermal equilibrium and specified test current. This tolerance is marked on the device as "943A" and applies under standard test conditions defined in the datasheet.
Is 1SMA5943H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMA5943H is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures from –55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for under-hood and cabin automotive applications such as on-board DC/DC converters and ECU power rails. Its glass passivated junction and Class 3B HBM ESD rating further support harsh automotive environments.
What is the maximum power dissipation of 1SMA5943H and how is it derated?
The 1SMA5943H has a maximum DC power dissipation of 1.5W at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C, measured on a 5mm × 5mm copper pad. Above 75°C, it derates linearly at 20 mW/°C. At TL = 125°C, the usable power drops to 0.5W, and operation beyond 150°C junction temperature is prohibited.
Does 1SMA5943H have a defined polarity marking?
Yes, the 1SMA5943H uses a cathode band to indicate polarity-consistent with DO-214AC (SMA) industry convention. The banded end is the cathode terminal, and correct orientation is essential for proper reverse-bias zener operation. This marking is visible on the molded black epoxy body and aligns with JEDEC-standard packaging practices.
What is the leakage current specification for 1SMA5943H?
The 1SMA5943H specifies a maximum leakage current (IR) of 0.5 μA at 42.6V (80% of nominal VZ). This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes standby power loss in precision feedback circuits-critical for energy-efficient adapters and battery-backed systems.
