Product details
Overview
1SMB5928BT3 from onsemi is a 3 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 13 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 28.8 Ω at 7 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 9.9 V. It operates across −65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5928BT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener tolerance, thermal resistance (226 °C/W at TA = 25 °C), surge power capability (up to 100 W non-repetitive), Pb-free SMB package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference diode operating in reverse breakdown. Its 13 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 7 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, confirmed by θVZ ≈ +5.5 mV/°C near 13 V.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 226 °C/W (at TA = 25 °C) and junction-to-lead resistance of 40 °C/W, enabling stable regulation under PCB-constrained conduction cooling. The SMB package supports top-side or bottom-side mounting with modified L-bend leads for enhanced pad contact area.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5349B | Same 13 V nominal rating but 5 W power rating; larger DO-201AD package; RJA = 30 °C/W (heatsink-dependent) | Requires heatsinking for sustained 3 W operation; unsuitable for dense SMT layouts | Select when higher surge energy absorption is needed and board space allows axial/through-hole mounting |
| BZX84-C13 | 13 V Zener in SOT-23; rated for 300 mW only; ZZT = 30 Ω @ 5 mA; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; not rated for automotive or industrial ambient extremes | Select only for space-constrained, non-automotive consumer applications with <100 mW average dissipation |
Compared with 1N5349B and BZX84-C13, the 1SMB5928BT3 delivers optimal balance of 3 W SMT power handling, AEC-Q101 compliance, and 28.8 Ω impedance in a compact SMB footprint-making it preferred for automotive body control modules and industrial PLC I/O cards where reliability and density are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1SMB5928BT3?
The 1SMB5928BT3 has a nominal zener voltage of 13 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 12.35 V and 13.65 V at IZT = 7 mA and TL = 30 °C. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 7, November 2011).
Is 1SMB5928BT3 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the SZ-prefix variant (e.g., SZ1SMB5928BT3G) is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting automotive reliability requirements. While the base 1SMB5928BT3 part is not automatically qualified, its identical die and construction are validated in the SZ-series, and the "G" suffix denotes Pb-free compliance required for automotive supply chains. Always specify the SZ prefix for automotive use.
What is the maximum surge power rating for 1SMB5928BT3?
The 1SMB5928BT3 supports up to 100 W of non-repetitive peak surge power for pulse widths ≤1 ms (per Figure 2 in the datasheet). This capability is critical for transient voltage suppression in 12 V automotive systems exposed to load-dump events, and assumes TJ = 25 °C prior to the pulse.
Does 1SMB5928BT3 have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes-Figure 4 of the datasheet shows the temperature coefficient (θVZ) for 12–200 V devices is approximately +5.5 mV/°C near 13 V. This positive coefficient means VZ increases with junction temperature, which must be accounted for in precision reference designs operating across wide ambient ranges.
What is the forward voltage drop specification for 1SMB5928BT3?
The forward voltage (VF) for 1SMB5928BT3 is specified as ≤1.5 V at IF = 200 mA(dc), consistent across the entire 1SMB59xxBT3 family. This parameter applies only during forward conduction (anode positive relative to cathode) and is relevant for reverse-polarity protection configurations.
