Product details
Overview
SMAZ7V5-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 7.5V (±5%), 2.0mA test current, 450Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 5.0µA maximum reverse leakage at 5.0V. It features SMA package, cathode band polarity marking, and is rated for -65°C to +150°C operation - used for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAZ7V5-13-F datasheet, SMAZ7V5-13-F pinout, SMAZ7V5-13-F application, or SMAZ7V5-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100°C/W), power derating above +50°C, and compliance with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" requirements.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its 7.5V nominal regulation is specified at IZT = 2.0mA, with dynamic impedance of ≤450Ω at that point and ≤200Ω at IZK = 1.0mA.
Thermal performance is defined for FR-4 PCB mounting (1" × 0.85", 0.062" thick) with standardized pad layout. Power dissipation is 1.0W at +25°C, linearly derated by 10mW/°C above +50°C, yielding ~0.5W at +100°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5V nominal, 7.13–7.88V range at 2.0mA - ensures ±5% regulation accuracy across production lot |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W at TA = +25°C - supports robust transient energy absorption in compact SMT layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤450Ω at IZT = 2.0mA - limits output voltage deviation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5.0µA at VR = 5.0V - minimizes quiescent current in low-power standby circuits |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - industry-standard 2-pin surface-mount outline with 0.064g mass and UL 94V-0 flammability rating |
Pinout & Package
SMA package: molded plastic case, cathode indicated by band on body; terminals are solderable matte tin-plated leads per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-side reference node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased regulation terminal / high-side reference node | Connected to input supply; maintains regulated voltage drop across load when reverse-biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable continuous reverse current for SMAZ7V5-13-F at 7.5V?
The device is not rated for continuous conduction at its zener voltage; it is designed for regulated reverse-bias operation. At VZ = 7.5V, the maximum recommended DC zener current is derived from power limit: IZ(max) ≈ PD/VZ = 1.0W / 7.5V ≈ 133mA at +25°C ambient. Derating applies above +50°C per datasheet Figure 1.
Does SMAZ7V5-13-F have a specified junction-to-case thermal resistance?
Yes - RθJT is specified as 30°C/W (typical) in the Thermal Characteristics table. This value reflects heat transfer from junction to terminal (lead) under standard FR-4 mounting conditions and is used to model localized heating in thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Can SMAZ7V5-13-F be used as a substitute for a 7.5V TL431-based shunt regulator?
No - SMAZ7V5-13-F is a two-terminal passive Zener diode without active feedback or adjustable reference capability. It lacks the 2.495V precision reference, cathode-anode gain, and sink-current drive of TL431. It may replace simple fixed-voltage shunt functions but cannot replicate programmable or error-amplified regulation.
Is the SMAZ7V5-13-F marking code 'ZHQ' visible on the device body?
Yes - per the Marking Information section and Electrical Characteristics table, SMAZ7V5 devices are marked with 'ZHQ' on the top surface of the SMA package. This code identifies the 7.5V variant and is laser-etched or printed adjacent to the cathode band for automated optical verification.
