Product details
Overview
SMAZ30-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 30.0V (min 28.5V, max 31.5V), ±5% tolerance, 25mA maximum zener test current, and 250Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT. It provides precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and reference voltage generation for industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAZ30-13-F datasheet, SMAZ30-13-F pinout, SMAZ30-13-F application, or SMAZ30-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 25mA, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100°C/W), cathode-band polarity marking, SMA package compatibility with automated SMT lines, and compliance with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" requirements.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 30V nominal regulation point targets mid-range industrial power rails, with 1.0W power dissipation rated up to +50°C ambient before linear derating begins at 10mW/°C.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs using standard SMA pad layout, it features a molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), matte tin-plated terminals, and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020 - enabling reflow compatibility without dry-pack requirements.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C30LT1G | 30V nominal, ±5%, 300mW rating, SOT-23 package | Lower power handling limits use to sub-100mA bias networks | Select when space-constrained PCBs require smaller footprint and thermal load is <300mW |
| 1N4745A | 30V nominal, ±5%, 1.0W rating, DO-41 through-hole package | Requires wave soldering or hand assembly; incompatible with fully SMT processes | Select only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where rework access is prioritized |
Compared with BZX84-C30LT1G and 1N4745A, SMAZ30-13-F uniquely combines 1.0W SMT capability, SMA-level ruggedness, and industry-standard green compliance - making it optimal for volume-manufactured industrial controllers requiring automated assembly and long-term supply stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SMAZ30-13-F at +70°C ambient?
At +70°C ambient, SMAZ30-13-F is derated linearly from its 1.0W rating at +50°C, losing 10mW per °C above that point. This yields 1.0W − (20°C × 0.01W/°C) = 0.8W maximum continuous dissipation. Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS18015 Rev. 19-2, validated on standard FR-4 PCB with specified pad layout.
Does SMAZ30-13-F have a specified zener impedance at 100mA test current?
No - the datasheet specifies maximum zener impedance (ZZT) of 250Ω only at the rated test current of 25mA. At 100mA, differential resistance drops significantly (see Figure 5), but no guaranteed maximum value is provided. Designers should use the 25mA condition for worst-case regulation analysis.
How is polarity identified on the SMAZ30-13-F package?
Polarity is marked by a cathode band - a visible opaque stripe near one end of the SMA molded body. The terminal adjacent to this band is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This matches the standard SMA diode marking convention and is confirmed in the "Marking Information" section of DS18015.
Is SMAZ30-13-F suitable for use in life support equipment?
No - Diodes Incorporated explicitly prohibits use of SMAZ30-13-F in life support devices or systems without express written approval from its CEO, as stated in the "LIFE SUPPORT" notice of DS18015. Its qualification does not cover safety-critical medical applications requiring ASIL or ISO 13485 compliance.
