Product details
Overview
1SMB5934B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0W surface-mount power Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 24V (±5%), dynamic impedance of 15.6Ω at 19mA test current, and maximum reverse leakage of 0.25µA at 18.2V. It provides precision voltage regulation in DC power rails and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5934B-13 datasheet, 1SMB5934B-13 pinout, 1SMB5934B-13 application, or 1SMB5934B-13 equivalent, this device is selected for stable 24V reference generation, transient suppression in 24V automotive subsystems, and low-noise feedback path regulation where thermal stability and ESD robustness (>16kV HBM) are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its 24V nominal zener voltage is specified at 19mA test current, with a temperature coefficient of +11.2mV/°C (typical), enabling predictable drift compensation in analog feedback loops.
The SMB package delivers 3.0W power dissipation at TL = +75°C with 25°C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance, supporting high-reliability operation in compact PCB layouts. Its 226°C/W junction-to-ambient rating assumes FR-4 mounting per AP02001 pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24V nominal (22.8–25.2V range at IZT = 19mA); defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator designs |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0W at TL = +75°C; enables sustained energy clamping without derating in thermally managed layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15.6Ω at IZT = 19mA; determines AC ripple rejection and regulation accuracy under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25µA max at VR = 18.2V; ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered voltage reference circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16kV HBM); protects against electrostatic discharge during automated SMT assembly and field handling |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 226°C/W on FR-4 PCB; informs minimum copper area and via count needed to maintain TJ < 150°C |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Surface Mount Body), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode band polarity marking, and matte tin-plated copper alloy leadframe. Dimensions: 3.30–3.94mm (L) × 4.06–4.57mm (W) × 1.96–2.21mm (H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener regulation | Must be routed to ground or common return in shunt regulator configuration to sink excess current |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in reverse breakdown; connected to regulated voltage rail | Marked by band; ties directly to feedback node or protected line requiring precise 24V clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5934B | Same 24V/3W specs but DO-41 through-hole package; RθJA = 500°C/W vs. 226°C/W | Requires manual insertion and wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT boards | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher single-pulse surge capability (100A vs. 62A) is required |
| SMBJ24A | TVS diode (not Zener); 24V standoff, 38.9V clamping; 600W peak pulse power | Designed for fast transient suppression (1ns response), not precision DC regulation | Select only for surge-only protection; not interchangeable for voltage reference or shunt regulation |
Compared with 1N5934B and SMBJ24A, the 1SMB5934B-13 uniquely balances precision DC regulation (±5% VZ, 15.6Ω ZZT) with SMT manufacturability and thermal performance (226°C/W), making it optimal for space-constrained 24V power monitoring and feedback circuits.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for 1SMB5934B-13 at 25°C ambient?
The maximum continuous Zener current is calculated as PD/VZ = 550mW / 24V ≈ 22.9mA at TA = +25°C. This value decreases linearly above +25°C at 4.4mW/°C, reaching zero at approximately +138°C ambient.
Does 1SMB5934B-13 support reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes - the SMB package is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL-1), meaning it can withstand unlimited floor life and standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without baking. The matte tin finish ensures reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over -40°C to +125°C?
With a typical TC of +11.2mV/°C, the 24V Zener shifts by approximately ±1.85V across that range. For applications requiring tighter stability, parallel configurations or temperature-compensated references should be considered.
Can 1SMB5934B-13 replace 1N5245B in a 24V shunt regulator?
No - 1N5245B is a 1W, 24V Zener in DO-35 package with higher ZZT (30Ω) and lower surge capability. The 1SMB5934B-13 offers 3× power handling, lower impedance, and SMT compatibility, but requires PCB layout revision and thermal validation.
