Product details
Overview
1SMB5948H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount silicon Zener diode rated for 3 W power dissipation, with a nominal Zener voltage of 91 V (min 86.45 V, max 95.55 V) at 4.1 mA test current, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5948H datasheet, 1SMB5948H pinout, 1SMB5948H application, or 1SMB5948H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, DO-214AA (SMB) package, 3000 Ω dynamic impedance at 200 μA, 69.2 V maximum DC Zener current rating, and -55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature range.
Technical Context
The 1SMB5948H operates as a single-die, glass-passivated Zener diode optimized for stable reference and clamping functions under transient and steady-state conditions. Its 3 W total power dissipation at TL = 75°C (derated at 40 mW/°C above 75°C) and 550 mW at TA = 25°C (derated at 4.4 mW/°C above 25°C) define thermal boundary conditions for PCB layout.
It exhibits a Zener impedance of 3000 Ω at 200 μA (ZZK), leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 69.2 V (VR), and a temperature coefficient curve typical for high-voltage Zeners - enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs across its -55°C to +150°C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 86.45–95.55 V at IZT = 4.1 mA - defines tight 5% tolerance band for stable reference generation |
| Power Dissipation (PTOT) | 3 W at lead temperature TL = 75°C - requires minimum 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad for thermal compliance |
| Zener Impedance (ZZK) | 3000 Ω at IZK = 200 μA - indicates high-impedance knee behavior suitable for low-current biasing |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.25 μA at VR = 69.2 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | -55°C to +150°C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Package | DO-214AA (SMB) - surface-mount outline with cathode band polarity marking and RoHS/halogen-free compliance |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
DO-214AA (SMB) package: molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, polarity indicated by cathode band, weight ≈0.100 g, UL 94V-0 rated compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated chip junction | Enables long-term stability and reduced parameter drift under thermal stress and humidity exposure |
| Low inductance construction | Supports fast transient response in surge protection circuits without resonant overshoot |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020) | Allows unlimited floor life before reflow - no baking required prior to assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF91A (ON Semiconductor) | Same DO-214AA package, 91 V nominal, but rated 1 W only; lower ZZK (2000 Ω) at 1 mA | Not suitable for 3 W continuous dissipation; limited to low-power reference or light-clamp roles | Select only if thermal budget restricts to ≤1 W and tighter ZZ at higher IZ is prioritized |
| BZX84-C91 (Diodes Inc.) | SOT-23 package, 91 V nominal, 300 mW rating; ZZ = 1200 Ω at 5 mA | Cannot handle automotive-level surge energy or industrial thermal loads; unsuitable for AEC-Q101 environments | Use only in space-constrained consumer electronics where 300 mW derating suffices and qualification is not required |
Compared with SMF91A and BZX84-C91, the 1SMB5948H uniquely delivers 3 W power handling in an AEC-Q101-qualified SMB package - making it the only option among the three capable of sustained 91 V regulation in under-hood automotive and high-reliability industrial power rails.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1SMB5948H?
The 1SMB5948H has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, with a nominal value of 91 V and specified range of 86.45 V (min) to 95.55 V (max) at 4.1 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version A2102), and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is the 1SMB5948H suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 1SMB5948H is AEC-Q101 qualified - explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the datasheet. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and ESD per JESD22 standards, making it approved for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What is the maximum DC Zener current rating for the 1SMB5948H?
The maximum DC Zener current (IZM) for the 1SMB5948H is 16 mA, corresponding to the 69.2 V voltage point (VR) in the Electrical Specifications table. This value reflects the highest continuous current the device can sustain while remaining within its 3 W power limit and thermal boundaries.
Does the 1SMB5948H have halogen-free and RoHS compliance?
Yes, the 1SMB5948H is both RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as documented in the FEATURES section. The molding compound and plating materials meet these environmental standards without compromising thermal or electrical performance.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the 1SMB5948H?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for the 1SMB5948H is 226°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (single device on FR-4 board, no copper pour). This value assumes zero airflow and defines the worst-case thermal rise for layout planning - actual performance improves significantly with 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pads (RθJL = 25°C/W).
