Product details
Overview
1SMB5926B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0W surface-mount power Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 11.0V (±5%), zener test current 5.5mA, dynamic impedance 34.1Ω at IZT, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.25µA at 8.4V. It provides precision voltage regulation in DC power supply rails, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for industrial power converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5926B-13 datasheet, 1SMB5926B-13 pinout, 1SMB5926B-13 application, or 1SMB5926B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 226°C/W), power derating above +25°C, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and line conditions. Its 3.0W power rating at TL = +75°C and 550mW at TA = +25°C enables robust transient suppression and regulated biasing in compact power stages.
The device features a cathode band polarity marking, ESD rating >16kV (HBM Class 3), and RoHS-compliant lead-free matte tin plating on copper alloy leadframe. Its SMB package delivers low thermal resistance (RθJT = 25°C/W) when mounted per AP02001 pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 11.0V ±5% - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 550mW @ TA=+25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling in ambient-convection environments |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 5.5mA - operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified; used for design validation and biasing calculations |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 34.1Ω @ IZT - determines AC regulation error and ripple rejection capability in feedback paths |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25µA @ VR=8.4V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 226°C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise; critical for PCB thermal pad design and derating |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16kV HBM) - supports robustness against handling-induced electrostatic discharge in manufacturing |
Pinout & Package

| Cathode | Zener voltage output terminal / Breakdown control node | Connected to higher-potential side; delivers stable 11.0V reference or clamps transients to this level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3.0W Power Handling at TL=+75°C | Enables sustained operation in thermally constrained power supply enclosures without forced cooling |
| ±5% Zener Voltage Tolerance | Reduces need for post-assembly trimming in voltage reference and feedback divider networks |
| ESD Rating >16kV (HBM Class 3) | Eliminates requirement for external ESD protection in board-level handling and field deployment |
| Lead-Free & Halogen-Free "Green" Construction | Meets global environmental compliance mandates (RoHS 2/3) without compromising thermal or electrical performance |
| Automated Assembly Compatibility | SMB footprint aligns with standard pick-and-place and reflow profiles, minimizing placement yield loss |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5349B | Same 11V nominal VZ, but 5W power rating in DO-201AD package; RθJA ≈ 50°C/W | Requires larger PCB area and different thermal management; not SMT-compatible | Select for higher-power, through-hole designs where board space permits and manual assembly is acceptable |
| BZX84-C11 | 11V VZ in SOT-23; 300mW PD; RθJA ≈ 300°C/W; ±5% tolerance | Limited to low-power biasing due to lower power rating and higher thermal resistance | Select for ultra-compact, low-current reference nodes where 550mW derating is sufficient and SMB footprint is unavailable |
Compared with 1N5349B and BZX84-C11, the 1SMB5926B-13 uniquely balances 550mW ambient-rated power, SMB SMT compatibility, and 226°C/W thermal resistance-making it optimal for mid-power industrial DC-DC feedback and clamping where automated assembly and thermal reliability are jointly required.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1SMB5926B-13 at +75°C ambient?
The device is rated for 3.0W power dissipation at TL = +75°C (lead temperature), with linear derating of 40mW/°C above that point. At TA = +25°C, the maximum power is 550mW, derating at 4.4mW/°C above +25°C per the datasheet's RθJA = 226°C/W specification.
Does 1SMB5926B-13 have a specified temperature coefficient for its zener voltage?
Yes-the datasheet provides typical TC(VZ) vs. VZ curves (Figure 2). For 11V-class devices like 1SMB5926B-13, the temperature coefficient is approximately +5.5mV/°C near room temperature, indicating positive drift with increasing junction temperature.
Can 1SMB5926B-13 be used in place of a 12V Zener diode?
No-it is specifically rated for 11.0V ±5% (10.45–11.55V). Substituting it for a 12V part would result in undershoot of the target regulation or clamping voltage, potentially causing system malfunction or inadequate protection in critical applications.
Is the SMB package of 1SMB5926B-13 compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes-the device is qualified for moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Its matte tin finish ensures reliable wetting, and the recommended pad layout (AP02001) guarantees thermal and mechanical integrity during automated assembly.
