Product details
Overview
1SMA5955H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1.5W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 180 V, test current 2.1 mA, dynamic impedance 900 Ω at IZT, maximum DC zener current 8 mA, and junction temperature range −55°C to +150°C. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used for overvoltage protection in on-board DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMA5955H datasheet, 1SMA5955H pinout, 1SMA5955H application, or 1SMA5955H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 180 V ±5% zener tolerance, low leakage (<0.5 µA at VR = 136.8 V), DO-214AC (SMA) package compatibility with automated placement, and Class 3B HBM ESD rating.
Technical Context
The 1SMA5955H operates as a single-die, glass-passivated Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation under reverse-bias conditions. Its 900 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.1 mA and 0.25 Ω knee impedance at 0.25 mA support precise clamping in high-impedance sensing and feedback paths.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 stress requirements and features moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020. The device exhibits <0.5 µA leakage above 136.8 V and maintains regulation across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 171–189 V (±5% tolerance at 2.1 mA; ensures stable reference in high-voltage feedback loops) |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W (derates linearly above 75°C; supports continuous operation in compact power stages) |
| Test Current (IZT) | 2.1 mA (standard bias point for VZ measurement; enables low-current regulation) |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 900 Ω (measured at IZT; defines voltage variation under load transients) |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <0.5 µA at 136.8 V (ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance circuits) |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | −55°C to +150°C (supports deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial environments) |
| ESD Rating | Class 3B per JEDEC JESD22-A114 (withstands ≥8 kV HBM; suitable for handling in unshielded assembly lines) |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-214AC (SMA), surface-mount, low-profile, cathode indicated by band. Weight: 0.060 g. Molding compound meets UL 94V-0.
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF180A (ON Semiconductor) | Same DO-214AC package; 180 V nominal, but ±10% tolerance and higher IR (1 µA @ 144 V) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; rated for general industrial use only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and tighter leakage requirements |
| BZX84-C180 (Nexperia) | SOT-23 package (not DO-214AC); 180 V ±5%, but PD = 350 mW and IZM = 2.2 mA | Not suitable for 1.5 W power dissipation; limited to low-power signal-level clamping | Choose only for space-constrained PCBs where thermal budget permits derating to 350 mW |
Compared with SMF180A and BZX84-C180, the 1SMA5955H delivers automotive-grade reliability, full 1.5 W capability in SMA packaging, and superior leakage performance-making it the sole option for AEC-Q101-compliant, high-voltage, high-power shunt regulation.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the 1SMA5955H?
The 1SMA5955H has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with guaranteed limits of 171 V (min) and 189 V (max) at 2.1 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version A2102 and applies under thermal equilibrium conditions.
Is the 1SMA5955H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMA5955H is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly designed for automotive use. It passes stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing-making it appropriate for under-hood power modules and ADAS subsystems where the 1SMA5955H provides robust overvoltage clamping.
What is the maximum DC zener current rating for the 1SMA5955H?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for the 1SMA5955H is 8 mA, derived from its 1.5 W power rating and nominal 180 V zener voltage (IZM = PD/VZ ≈ 8.3 mA, rounded down to 8 mA per datasheet specification). This value ensures safe continuous operation within thermal limits.
Does the 1SMA5955H have a specified leakage current?
Yes, the 1SMA5955H specifies a maximum leakage current (IR) of 0.5 µA at 136.8 V (80% of nominal VZ). This low leakage is critical for high-impedance feedback networks and is measured per JEDEC standards, confirming minimal standby power loss in precision regulation circuits using the 1SMA5955H.
What package type does the 1SMA5955H use?
The 1SMA5955H uses the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability requirements and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its low-profile form factor supports automated placement and meets UL 94V-0 flammability standards-key attributes of the 1SMA5955H's mechanical design.
