Product details
Overview
1SMB5936B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0W surface-mount power Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 30V (±5% tolerance), 28mA test current, and 12.5Ω dynamic impedance at IZT; it provides precise voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for industrial power converters.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5936B-13 datasheet, 1SMB5936B-13 pinout, 1SMB5936B-13 application, or 1SMB5936B-13 equivalent, this device is selected for stable 30V clamping in DC-DC converter feedback paths, surge-protected sensor interfaces, and low-noise analog references where thermal stability and ESD robustness (>16kV HBM) are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable 30V reference across varying load currents (up to 50mA max reverse current at 22.8V). Its 25°C/W junction-to-terminal thermal resistance enables reliable 3.0W dissipation when mounted on FR-4 PCBs with Diodes Inc.'s recommended pad layout (AP02001).
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5V, with typical TC near +0.075%/°C for 30V parts-enabling predictable drift compensation in precision references. Its 1.5V forward voltage at 200mA supports bidirectional ESD protection configurations when used in conjunction with series resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30V nominal, 28.5–31.5V range at 28mA - ensures tight regulation in 24V/28V system rails |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0W @ TL = +75°C - supports high-energy transient suppression without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 12.5Ω @ IZT = 28mA - minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.25µA @ VR = 22.8V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16kV HBM) - protects downstream circuitry during handling and board assembly |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - industry-standard SMT footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place |
| Operating Temp | −65°C to +150°C - suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with cathode band marking; dimensions: 3.30–3.94mm (L) × 4.06–4.57mm (W) × 1.96–2.21mm (H); weight ≈ 0.096g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reverse breakdown reference node | Connected to lower-potential rail in shunt regulator configuration; defines clamping threshold relative to cathode |
| Cathode | Zener voltage reference terminal / High-side connection point | Connected to regulated output node; voltage at cathode remains stable at ~30V when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5936B | Same 30V rating and ±5% tolerance, but DO-41 through-hole package (not SMT) | Requires manual soldering or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density PCBs or automated assembly | Select only for legacy repair, prototyping, or low-volume through-hole designs where reflow compatibility is not required |
| SMBJ30A | TVS diode (30V standoff, 48.3V clamping), 600W peak pulse power, higher leakage (5µA @ 24.3V) | Designed for transient suppression-not precision regulation; cannot replace in feedback loops | Choose only for surge-only protection; never substitute in voltage reference or regulation roles due to lack of stable Zener knee |
Compared with 1N5936B and SMBJ30A, the 1SMB5936B-13 uniquely combines SMT manufacturability, low dynamic impedance (12.5Ω), and sub-microamp leakage-making it the only viable choice for compact, high-accuracy shunt regulators in modern power electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the 1SMB5936B-13 can sustain at 25°C ambient?
The device supports up to 50mA continuous reverse current at 22.8V (rated VR), corresponding to its 3.0W power limit. At 25°C ambient on FR-4 PCB, derating begins above +25°C at 4.4mW/°C, so sustained operation at full 3.0W requires thermal management or reduced ambient temperature.
Does the 1SMB5936B-13 have a specified temperature coefficient for its zener voltage?
Yes-the datasheet shows typical TC vs. VZ curve (Figure 2), indicating approximately +0.075%/°C for 30V devices. This positive coefficient allows predictable drift compensation when paired with negative-TC components in precision references.
Can the 1SMB5936B-13 be used in bidirectional ESD protection configurations?
Yes-when anode is grounded and cathode connected to signal line, it clamps positive transients to ~31.5V and negative transients to ~−0.7V (forward VF). Its 1.5V forward voltage at 200mA and 16kV HBM rating make it suitable for I/O port protection in ruggedized equipment.
Is the SMB package of the 1SMB5936B-13 compatible with standard IPC-7351B land patterns?
Yes-the SMB (DO-214AA) footprint matches IPC-7351B "SMB" generic pattern. Diodes Inc. recommends pad dimensions C=4.30mm, G=1.80mm, X=2.50mm, X1=6.80mm, Y=2.30mm (per AP02001), which align with IPC Class L (least) tolerances for automated assembly yield >99.98%.
