Product details
Overview
1SMB5935B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0W surface-mount power Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 27V (±5%), dynamic impedance of 13.9Ω at 23mA test current, and ESD rating >16kV per HBM. It provides precise voltage regulation in power supply rails, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference applications requiring stable breakdown under continuous DC or pulse conditions.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5935B-13 datasheet, 1SMB5935B-13 pinout, 1SMB5935B-13 application, or 1SMB5935B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (226°C/W), maximum reverse current (0.25µA at 20.6V), and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals. Its 27V nominal zener voltage is specified at 23mA test current, with temperature coefficient optimized for mid-range voltage devices (~+4.5mV/°C typical).
The device uses a planar silicon junction structure encapsulated in an SMB molded plastic case rated UL 94V-0. Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 226°C/W on FR-4 PCB and RθJT = 25°C/W, enabling reliable 3.0W dissipation at terminal temperature ≤75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.65–28.35V at IZT = 23mA; ensures ±5% regulation accuracy in voltage reference designs |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0W @ TL = +75°C; supports high-energy transient clamping without derating below 75°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 13.9Ω @ IZT = 23mA; low dynamic impedance minimizes output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25µA max @ VR = 20.6V; guarantees minimal quiescent current in standby-mode protection circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16kV) per HBM; eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level interfaces |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 226°C/W on FR-4 PCB; defines required copper area and airflow for thermal management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5354B | Same 27V nominal zener voltage but DO-201AD package; PD = 5W; RθJA = 30°C/W (with heatsink) | Through-hole mounting only; requires manual insertion or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when higher continuous power handling is needed and board space allows axial/DO-201AD footprint |
| BZX84-C27 | 27V zener in SOT-23; PD = 300mW; ZZT = 80Ω @ 5mA; ±5% tolerance | Lower power rating limits use to signal-level references; not suitable for power rail clamping | Select for low-current biasing or portable electronics where 0.3W dissipation suffices |
Compared with 1N5354B and BZX84-C27, the 1SMB5935B-13 uniquely balances 3.0W SMT power handling, low 13.9Ω impedance, and industry-standard SMB footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and automotive power regulation where both thermal performance and assembly compatibility matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous zener current for 1SMB5935B-13 at 25°C ambient?
The maximum continuous zener current is calculated from PD = 550mW at TA = +25°C and VZ = 27V, yielding IZM ≈ 20.4mA. This value decreases linearly above 25°C at 4.4mW/°C, reaching 23mA only at elevated case temperature where thermal design permits.
Does 1SMB5935B-13 support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes, the device is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be subjected to unlimited floor life and standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without baking or special handling-ideal for high-volume SMT production.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over -40°C to +125°C?
At 27V, the typical temperature coefficient is +4.5mV/°C. Over a 165°C span, this introduces ±0.74V drift, or ±2.7% of nominal VZ. For precision applications, this must be compensated via circuit design or selected alongside tighter-tolerance variants.
Can 1SMB5935B-13 replace older 1N4733A Zener diodes in existing designs?
No-1N4733A is a 5.1V, 1W through-hole Zener. The 1SMB5935B-13 is a 27V, 3W SMT device with different voltage, power, package, and thermal characteristics. Direct replacement would require schematic, layout, and thermal redesign.
