Product details
Overview
1SMB5949 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 3 W, 100 V nominal Zener diode in DO-214AA (SMB) package, with ±5% voltage tolerance, 3.7 mA test current, and 3100 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, designed for precision voltage regulation in DC/DC converters and SMPS feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5949 datasheet, 1SMB5949 pinout, 1SMB5949 application, or 1SMB5949 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V nominal Zener voltage, low leakage (<1 μA at 76 V), thermal resistance of 226 °C/W, and compliance with J-STD-020 level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
The 1SMB5949 operates as a single-die, glass-passivated Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias voltage reference under DC and transient conditions. Its 100 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 3.7 mA test current, with a temperature coefficient of +10.5 mV/°C (typical) and maximum junction temperature of +150 °C.
It delivers 3 W power dissipation at lead temperature of 75 °C (derated above), supports surge capability per Fig.2, and exhibits low inductance and low capacitance (<10 pF at zero bias), making it suitable for high-frequency regulation and transient suppression in compact power stages.
Key Specifications

| VZ Range | 95.0–105.0 V - ±5% tolerance ensures predictable clamping/regulation window |
| IZT | 3.7 mA - standardized test current for guaranteed VZ measurement |
| ZZT | 3100 Ω - dynamic impedance defines regulation stiffness under load variation |
| PTOT | 3 W - maximum steady-state power handling at TL = 75 °C on 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad |
| RθJA | 226 °C/W - thermal resistance determines junction temperature rise in ambient PCB layout |
| IR @ VR = 76 V | <1 μA - ultra-low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5365B | Same 100 V nominal, but 5 W rating, DO-201AD package, higher IZT = 40 mA, ZZT = 1.5 Ω | Higher power handling suits higher-current regulation; larger package requires more board area | Select when >3 W continuous dissipation or lower dynamic impedance is required |
| BZX84-C100 | 100 V nominal, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, IZT = 5 mA, ZZT = 2000 Ω | Lower power and smaller footprint ideal for signal-level references, not power-stage clamping | Select only for low-current biasing where SMB thermal performance is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N5365B and BZX84-C100, the 1SMB5949 uniquely balances 3 W power capability, SMB footprint, and 3100 Ω ZZT for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained DC/DC regulation-neither over-specified nor under-rated for mid-power industrial adapters.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1SMB5949?
The 1SMB5949 has a nominal Zener voltage of 100 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 95.0 V and 105.0 V when measured at the specified test current of 3.7 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet revision M2102. The 1SMB5949 achieves this accuracy via glass-passivated junction processing and 100% electrical screening.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the 1SMB5949 under typical PCB conditions?
The 1SMB5949 is rated for 3 W maximum power dissipation when mounted on a 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad at a lead temperature (TL) of 75 °C, with linear derating above that temperature at 40 mW/°C. At ambient temperature (TA = 25 °C), its power rating drops to 550 mW due to higher thermal resistance to ambient (226 °C/W). These values are defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated by the Steady State Power Derating curve (Fig.1).
Does the 1SMB5949 meet RoHS and halogen-free compliance standards?
Yes, the 1SMB5949 is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the datasheet. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminals are matte tin plated to satisfy J-STD-002 solderability requirements. These qualifications apply directly to the 1SMB5949 and are verified for the DO-214AA (SMB) package variant.
What is the Zener impedance (ZZT) of the 1SMB5949 and why does it matter?
The 1SMB5949 has a Zener impedance (ZZT) of 3100 Ω at IZT = 3.7 mA, as listed in the Electrical Specifications table. This value quantifies how tightly the device maintains its Zener voltage under varying current loads - lower ZZT indicates better regulation. For the 1SMB5949, 3100 Ω reflects its optimization for mid-voltage, moderate-current applications where precision outweighs ultra-low impedance needs.
How is polarity indicated on the 1SMB5949, and what is its package type?
Polarity on the 1SMB5949 is indicated by a cathode band printed on the body, consistent with standard diode marking convention. It uses the DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package - a rectangular, gull-wing leaded outline measuring 4.57 mm × 3.94 mm × 2.49 mm - documented in Package Outline Dimensions (page 7) and confirmed in the Ordering Information table.
