Product details
Overview
SMAZ30-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 30.0V (range: 28.5–31.5V), ±5% tolerance, 15Ω maximum zener impedance at 15mA test current, and 0.5µA maximum reverse leakage at 22.8V. It is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAZ30-13 datasheet, SMAZ30-13 pinout, SMAZ30-13 application, or SMAZ30-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal derating above +50°C, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (100°C/W), and compliance with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" requirements.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, maintaining stable regulation across its specified zener current range (15mA typical test current). Its 1.0W power dissipation rating is valid at +25°C ambient and linearly derates by 10mW/°C above +50°C when mounted on an FR-4 PCB per Diodes Inc.'s recommended pad layout.
The SMA package provides a molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability rating and matte tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. Polarity is indicated by a cathode band, and moisture sensitivity is rated Level 1 per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Nominal) | 30.0V - precise regulation point under 15mA test current |
| Zener Voltage Range | 28.5V to 31.5V - ensures design margin for ±5% tolerance at +25°C |
| Zener Impedance | 15Ω max @ IZT = 15mA - low dynamic resistance for stable output under load variation |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0W @ TA = +50°C - usable continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 100°C/W - defines temperature rise above ambient per watt dissipated on standard FR-4 board |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 0.5µA max @ VR = 22.8V - minimal quiescent current in standby regulation mode |
| Forward Voltage | 1.2V @ IF = 200mA - enables use as clamp or protection diode in forward bias |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (Surface Mount Assembly), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 rating; dimensions: 4.00–4.60mm (L) × 2.29–2.92mm (W) × 1.27–1.63mm (H); weight ≈ 0.064g; polarity marked by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in zener regulation | Accepts forward current up to 200mA; forms cathode-referenced voltage clamp |
| Cathode | Negative terminal in forward bias; higher-potential node in zener operation | Connected to regulated voltage rail; zener breakdown occurs between cathode and anode |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30LT1G | 0.3W rating, SOT-23 package, 30V ±5%, 80Ω Zzt @ 5mA | Lower power handling; suited for low-current biasing, not rail clamping | Select when board space is constrained and dissipation remains <300mW |
| 1N4745A | 1.0W through-hole DO-41 package, 30V ±5%, 35Ω Zzt @ 22mA | Requires through-hole assembly; higher Zzt reduces regulation precision at low currents | Select for legacy through-hole designs or where manual repairability is prioritized |
Compared with BZX84-C30LT1G and 1N4745A, SMAZ30-13 offers superior thermal performance (100°C/W vs. ~200°C/W for SOT-23), tighter low-current regulation (15Ω vs. 80Ω), and surface-mount compatibility-making it optimal for automated high-power density designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous zener current for SMAZ30-13 at +70°C ambient?
At +70°C ambient, the device's power dissipation must be derated from 1.0W at +50°C by 10mW/°C, resulting in 0.8W max. With VZ = 30V, the maximum continuous zener current is 26.7mA (0.8W ÷ 30V). This assumes proper PCB copper area per Diodes' recommended layout.
Does SMAZ30-13 have a specified capacitance value for high-frequency filtering applications?
No capacitance specification is provided in the DS18015 datasheet. Figure 2 shows typical total capacitance curves for related SMAZ devices (e.g., SMAZ12, SMAZ27), but no discrete value is given for SMAZ30-13. For RF bypass or noise filtering, a dedicated capacitor should be used in parallel.
Can SMAZ30-13 be used in place of a 30V Zener in a linear regulator error amplifier feedback network?
Yes-its 15Ω zener impedance at 15mA and ±5% voltage tolerance support stable closed-loop regulation. However, ensure the feedback network draws ≤15mA to maintain regulation accuracy; higher currents increase voltage deviation due to dynamic resistance.
Is the SMAZ30-13 marking code standardized, and how is it decoded?
Yes-the marking code for SMAZ30-13 is "ZJQ", printed on the device body. Per DS18015 Table 1, "ZJQ" uniquely identifies the 30.0V variant within the SMAZ family. Date code follows as YWW (e.g., "623" = 2016, week 23).
