Product details
Overview
SMAZ6V2-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 6.2 V (±5%), 2.0 mA test current, 200 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 3.0 µA maximum reverse leakage at 5.0 V. It is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in power supply feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMAZ6V2-13 datasheet, SMAZ6V2-13 pinout, SMAZ6V2-13 application, or SMAZ6V2-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100 °C/W), power derating above +50°C, cathode band polarity marking, and compliance with RoHS and halogen-free requirements.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and line conditions. Its 6.2 V nominal regulation is specified at IZT = 2.0 mA, with dynamic impedance of ≤200 Ω at that current and ≤150 Ω at 10 mA.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs, it features a molded plastic SMA package rated UL 94V-0, with lead-free matte tin plating and moisture sensitivity level 1. Thermal performance is characterized by RθJT = 30 °C/W and RθJA = 100 °C/W under standard pad layout per Diodes Inc. package outlines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.20 V nominal, 5.89–6.51 V range at 2.0 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator designs |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W at TA = +25°C, derated 10 mW/°C above +50°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤200 Ω at IZT = 2.0 mA - determines regulation accuracy under small-signal load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤3.0 µA at VR = 5.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or low-power modes |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 100 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for thermal design margining |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - standardized 2-pin SMD outline with cathode band, compatible with automated pick-and-place |

Use Value: Cathode band polarity enables unambiguous orientation in space-constrained reset circuit layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V2-7-F | 0.3 W rating, SOT-23 package, 6.2 V ±5%, higher ZZT (60 Ω @ 5 mA) | Lower power handling limits use to signal-level clamping only | Select for space-constrained PCBs where 1.0 W dissipation is unnecessary |
| 1N4735A | 1.0 W DO-41 through-hole package, 6.2 V ±5%, ZZT = 7 Ω @ 41 mA | Requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for fully SMT lines | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or lower dynamic impedance at high current is required |
Compared with BZX84-C6V2-7-F and 1N4735A, SMAZ6V2-13 uniquely balances 1.0 W SMT power handling, industry-standard SMA footprint, and production-ready RoHS/Green compliance - making it optimal for modern automated power supply and protection designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state zener current for SMAZ6V2-13 at room temperature?
The maximum steady-state zener current is calculated as PD/VZ = 1.0 W / 6.2 V ≈ 161 mA at TA = +25°C. This assumes no thermal derating and adequate PCB copper area to maintain junction temperature within limits. At elevated ambient temperatures, current must be reduced per the 10 mW/°C derating curve.
Does SMAZ6V2-13 have a defined forward voltage specification?
Yes - forward voltage is specified as VF = 1.2 V at IF = 200 mA. This value applies when the device is operated in forward conduction mode, such as in ESD protection configurations or reverse-polarity protection circuits where anode is biased positive relative to cathode.
How is polarity identified on the SMAZ6V2-13 package?
Polarity is marked by a cathode band - a visible inked stripe near one end of the SMA body. The terminal adjacent to the band is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This marking aligns with JEDEC DO-214AC standards and is verified in Diodes Inc.'s package outline drawings.
Is SMAZ6V2-13 suitable for use in automotive applications?
SMAZ6V2-13 meets AEC-Q200 stress test recommendations for passive components when qualified per Diodes Inc.'s automotive-grade variants (e.g., SMAZ6V2-13Q). The commercial version is rated for –65°C to +150°C operating temperature and complies with RoHS and halogen-free requirements, but automotive qualification requires explicit Q-grade ordering code and PPAP documentation.
