Product details
Overview
1SMB5941B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0W surface-mount power Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 47V (±5% tolerance), maximum zener impedance of 1000Ω at 67mA test current, and ESD rating >16kV (HBM). It operates from −65°C to +150°C and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5941B-13 datasheet, 1SMB5941B-13 pinout, 1SMB5941B-13 application, or 1SMB5941B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (226°C/W), power derating above +25°C, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable reverse breakdown voltage across its cathode–anode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its 47V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 67mA, with dynamic impedance (ZZT) ≤1000Ω and knee impedance (ZZK) ≤1300Ω at IZK = 1mA.
Thermal performance is defined for FR-4 PCB mounting per AP02001 pad layout: RθJA = 226°C/W and RθJT = 25°C/W. Power dissipation is rated at 550mW at +25°C, derating linearly at 4.4mW/°C above ambient, down to 3.0W at terminal temperature TL = +75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47V nominal, 44.65–49.35V range at IZT = 67mA - defines regulated output voltage under design current |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 550mW at TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤1000Ω at IZT = 67mA - determines voltage regulation stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25µA at VR = 35.8V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation circuits |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16kV HBM) - enables robust handling in unshielded manufacturing and field environments |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications without derating |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized 3.3–3.94mm × 4.06–4.57mm surface-mount footprint compatible with IPC-7351B |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5368B | Same 47V nominal VZ, but 5W power rating in DO-201AD package; RθJA = 30°C/W (higher thermal mass) | Requires larger PCB area and manual soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when higher pulse energy handling is required and board space permits through-hole mounting. |
| BZX84-C47 | 47V VZ in SOT-23; 300mW PD; ZZT = 90Ω at 5mA - lower impedance but lower power | Limited to low-current biasing and signal-level references; cannot sustain 67mA continuous current | Select for space-constrained signal conditioning where regulation current <5mA and thermal margin is adequate. |
Compared with 1N5368B and BZX84-C47, the 1SMB5941B-13 uniquely balances 3.0W SMT-compatible power handling, 1000Ω impedance at 67mA, and industry-standard SMB footprint-making it optimal for automated production of mid-power industrial regulators.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous zener current for 1SMB5941B-13 at +75°C?
At terminal temperature TL = +75°C, the device supports 3.0W power dissipation. With VZ = 47V, this corresponds to a maximum continuous zener current of approximately 63.8mA (IZ = PD/VZ). Derating must follow the 40mW/°C slope above +75°C per datasheet Note 5.
Does 1SMB5941B-13 require heatsinking for 550mW operation?
No external heatsink is required for 550mW operation at +25°C ambient, as the SMB package's RθJA = 226°C/W yields a junction-to-ambient rise of ~125°C - within the +150°C TJ limit. However, PCB copper area per AP02001 layout is mandatory to achieve this rating.
How does the 1SMB5941B-13 differ from the 1SMB5941BT3G?
The 1SMB5941B-13 uses tape-and-reel packaging (3000 units/reel) with matte tin lead finish and RoHS 3 compliance. The 1SMB5941BT3G is identical electrically and thermally but shipped in 10,000-unit reels and carries additional automotive qualification per AEC-Q101 - not applicable to the -13 variant.
Can 1SMB5941B-13 be used in place of a 47V TVS diode for ESD protection?
No - while it has >16kV HBM ESD rating, its 1000Ω dynamic impedance and 67mA test current make it unsuitable for fast transient suppression. TVS diodes (e.g., SMAJ47A) offer sub-nanosecond response and <1Ω clamping impedance; this Zener is intended for steady-state regulation, not surge clamping.
