Product details
Overview
1SMB5952BT3 from onsemi is a 3 W surface-mount Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal Zener voltage of 130 V, ±5% tolerance, 2.9 mA test current (IZT), and maximum Zener impedance of 5000 Ω at IZT. It operates over −65 °C to +150 °C and is used for precision DC voltage clamping and reference in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and industrial sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the 1SMB5952BT3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at 130 V, thermal derating above 75 °C, SMB package mechanical compatibility, and compliance with AEC−Q101 requirements for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal, unidirectional voltage reference with cathode-anode polarity. Its Zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable reverse conduction at 130 V under 2.9 mA DC test current, with dynamic impedance of 5000 Ω limiting regulation error under load transients.
Thermal design requires junction-to-lead resistance of 40 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 226 °C/W; power dissipation must be derated linearly above 75 °C (25 mW/°C) or 25 °C (4.4 mW/°C) depending on mounting condition. The SMB package supports top-side or bottom-side PCB mounting with modified L-bend leads for enhanced solder joint reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 123.5 V min / 130 V nom / 136.5 V max - defines clamping threshold with ±5% tolerance at IZT = 2.9 mA |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 2.9 mA - sets operating point where VZ and ZZT are specified; impacts thermal stability and noise |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 5000 Ω max @ IZT - determines regulation sensitivity to current variation; higher impedance limits precision |
| Max DC Zener Current (IZM) | 11 A - maximum steady-state reverse current before thermal runaway; sets absolute safe operating limit |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0 W @ TL = 75 °C - usable power handling with zero lead length; derates to 550 mW at TA = 25 °C |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 98.8 V - ensures minimal standby current below knee voltage |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - enables robust handling in automated SMT assembly without special ESD controls |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount plastic package with cathode indicated by polarity band; dimensions: 3.56 mm × 4.32 mm × 2.20 mm (L × W × H); Pb-free (G suffix) variant available.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5952B | Same 130 V nominal Zener voltage, but DO-41 through-hole package; 1.5 W rating; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Requires PCB through-hole rework; unsuitable for high-reliability automotive or dense SMT layouts | Select only for legacy board repair or prototyping where manual assembly is acceptable |
| SZ1SMB5952BT3G | Identical electrical specs and SMB package; differs only in SZ prefix indicating AEC-Q101 qualification and PPAP capability | Required for new automotive designs needing certified component traceability and process control | Choose SZ1SMB5952BT3G when automotive PPAP documentation and failure mode analysis are mandatory |
Compared with 1SMB5952BT3, 1N5952B trades surface-mount compatibility and power rating for legacy footprint support, while SZ1SMB5952BT3G adds automotive qualification overhead without altering electrical behavior-making it the drop-in replacement only when certification is contractually required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1SMB5952BT3?
The 1SMB5952BT3 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, resulting in a guaranteed range of 123.5 V to 136.5 V at the specified test current of 2.9 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet and applies to all units regardless of manufacturing lot or date code.
Can the 1SMB5952BT3 be used in automotive applications?
The standard 1SMB5952BT3 is not AEC−Q101 qualified; however, its pin-compatible variant SZ1SMB5952BT3G is fully qualified and PPAP capable. For automotive use, engineers must specify the SZ prefix version-1SMB5952BT3 itself meets all electrical and mechanical specs but lacks the required automotive process validation and documentation.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for the 1SMB5952BT3 at room temperature?
At ambient temperature (TA) of 25 °C, the 1SMB5952BT3 has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 550 mW. This value is derated linearly at 4.4 mW/°C above 25 °C and assumes FR-4 board mounting with recommended footprint per datasheet note 1.
Does the 1SMB5952BT3 have a specified forward voltage?
Yes-the 1SMB5952BT3 has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.5 V at 200 mA DC forward current, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics summary on page 2 of the datasheet. This parameter is consistent across the entire 1SMB59xxBT3 series and verified under TL = 30 °C conditions.
What is the thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient for the 1SMB5952BT3?
The thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient (RJA) for the 1SMB5952BT3 is 226 °C/W under standard FR-4 board conditions with recommended footprint. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise and must be used alongside actual power dissipation and ambient temperature to ensure operation within −65 °C to +150 °C limits.
