Product details
Overview
1SMB5930B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0W surface-mount power Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 16.0V (±5%), dynamic impedance of 23.4Ω at 10mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.25µA at 12.2V. It provides precision voltage regulation in DC power rails and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5930B-13 datasheet, 1SMB5930B-13 pinout, 1SMB5930B-13 application, or 1SMB5930B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, power derating above +25°C, thermal resistance (RθJA = 226°C/W), and ESD robustness (Class 3, >16kV HBM).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 3.0W power rating applies at terminal temperature (TL = +75°C), with linear derating of 40mW/°C above that point.
The device features low dynamic impedance (23.4Ω at IZT = 10mA) and tight voltage tolerance (±5%), enabling accurate regulation in feedback loops and voltage-clamping applications. Its SMB package supports automated assembly and meets RoHS 3 and halogen-free "Green" requirements.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0W @ TL = +75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on PCB with defined thermal pad layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 23.4Ω @ IZT = 10mA - determines regulation accuracy under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25µA @ VR = 12.2V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby-mode protection circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 226°C/W - indicates junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on standard FR-4 board |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16kV HBM) - enables reliable operation in electrostatic-prone manufacturing and field environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C16 | 300mW rating, SOT-23 package, RθJA = 350°C/W, ±5% VZ | Lower power handling limits use to signal-level references, not power rail clamping | Select when space-constrained PCBs require SOT-23 footprint and power demand ≤300mW |
| 1N5347B | 5.0W rating, DO-201AD package, VZ = 16V ±5%, RθJA = 20°C/W with heatsink | Through-hole mounting and higher thermal conductivity suit high-reliability power supplies | Select when through-hole assembly is required and thermal management includes external heatsinking |
Compared with BZX84-C16 and 1N5347B, the 1SMB5930B-13 uniquely balances 3.0W surface-mount power handling, SMB manufacturability, and 226°C/W thermal performance-making it optimal for automated production of mid-power industrial regulators where SOT-23 lacks robustness and DO-201AD impedes density.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage this diode can withstand before breakdown?
The 1SMB5930B-13 has a nominal zener voltage of 16.0V with ±5% tolerance, meaning breakdown occurs between 15.2V and 16.8V. It is rated for continuous operation at this voltage in reverse bias, provided power dissipation remains within derated limits (e.g., 550mW at +25°C ambient).
How does its thermal performance compare to standard DO-41 Zeners?
With RθJA = 226°C/W on FR-4, the 1SMB5930B-13 dissipates heat less efficiently than DO-41 devices (typically ~100°C/W with leads soldered), but its SMB package enables automated placement and offers superior moisture resistance (J-STD-020 Level 1) versus axial-leaded alternatives.
Can this Zener be used in series for higher voltage references?
Yes-multiple 1SMB5930B-13 units may be stacked in series to achieve higher reference voltages, but ensure matched VZ tolerance (±5%) and equal current sharing via balancing resistors to prevent thermal runaway in each device.
Is the cathode band orientation consistent across all SMB-packaged Zeners from Diodes Inc.?
Yes-the cathode band is always located at the same end of the SMB body per Diodes Incorporated's standardized marking convention, verified in AP02001 pad layout documentation and confirmed across DS32125 Rev. 8 package drawings.
