Product details
Overview
1SMB5944B-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0W surface-mount power Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 62V (±5%), 1500Ω dynamic impedance at 6mA test current, and 24mA maximum reverse leakage at 47.1V. It features ESD rating >16kV (HBM), RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and SMB package for automated assembly in voltage regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5944B-13 datasheet, 1SMB5944B-13 pinout, 1SMB5944B-13 application, or 1SMB5944B-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, power derating above +25°C, thermal resistance (RθJA = 226°C/W), and compliance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its 62V nominal zener voltage is specified at 6mA test current (IZT), with 1500Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT) and 0.25µA maximum reverse current (IR) at 47.1V (VR = 0.75 × VZ).
Thermal performance is defined for FR-4 PCB mounting per AP02001 pad layout: 3.0W power dissipation at TL = +75°C, derating at 40mW/°C above that temperature; junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 226°C/W at TA = +25°C, derating at 4.4mW/°C above ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62V nominal (58.9–65.1V range at IZT = 6mA); defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0W at TL = +75°C; supports sustained energy absorption in transient suppression applications |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1500Ω at IZT = 6mA; indicates voltage regulation stability under small-signal AC variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25µA max at VR = 47.1V; ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16kV HBM); enables robust handling in automated SMT lines without additional ESD mitigation |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 226°C/W; determines required PCB copper area for thermal management at target ambient temperature |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Level 1 per J-STD-020; allows unlimited floor life without dry pack or baking prior to reflow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5944B | Dual-in-line through-hole package (DO-41), same 62V/3W specs but higher RθJA (300°C/W) | Requires manual insertion or wave soldering; unsuitable for high-density SMT boards | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or prototyping on breadboard/perfboard is required |
| SMBJ64A | TVS diode (64V standoff, 100W peak pulse), not a regulated Zener; higher capacitance (150pF) | Designed for ESD/surge clamping, not precision voltage reference or biasing | Select only for transient suppression where DC regulation is not needed |
Compared with 1SMB5944B-13, 1N5944B trades SMT compatibility for easier hand-soldering and lower cost in low-volume builds, while SMBJ64A offers superior surge handling but lacks the stable DC zener characteristic required for reference applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for 1SMB5944B-13 at +75°C?
The maximum continuous power dissipation is 3.0W at terminal temperature (TL) = +75°C. Above this temperature, power must be linearly derated at 40mW/°C. This value assumes mounting on an FR-4 PCB using Diodes Inc.'s recommended AP02001 pad layout, which defines thermal path efficiency.
Does 1SMB5944B-13 meet RoHS 3 and halogen-free requirements?
Yes - it complies with EU Directive 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3), contains <900ppm bromine, <900ppm chlorine (<1500ppm total Br+Cl), and <1000ppm antimony, and carries Diodes Incorporated's official "Green" designation per their quality documentation.
How is the zener voltage tolerance verified for 1SMB5944B-13?
Zener voltage is tested at IZT = 6mA with pulse duration short enough to minimize self-heating; units are binned to 58.9–65.1V (±5% of 62V nominal) and marked with code B944. Statistical process control ensures 100% testing of VZ during final QA screening.
Can 1SMB5944B-13 replace 1N5944B in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement: 1SMB5944B-13 uses SMB surface-mount packaging (3.6mm × 4.3mm), while 1N5944B uses DO-41 through-hole (5.2mm × 2.7mm). PCB layout, thermal relief, and assembly process must be redesigned; electrical parameters match, but mechanical fit and thermal performance differ significantly.
