Product details
Overview
SMBZ5932B-M3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener voltage-regulating diode with nominal Zener voltage 20 V, maximum Zener impedance 650 Ω at 14 mA test current, and power dissipation of 550 mW at 25 °C ambient temperature. It operates in single-diode configuration for precision DC voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the SMBZ5932B-M3/5B datasheet, SMBZ5932B-M3/5B pinout, SMBZ5932B-M3/5B application, or SMBZ5932B-M3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), low regulation factor, MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity, and SMB (DO-214AA) package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal, silicon planar Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations. Its electrical behavior is defined by specified Zener voltage (19.0–21.0 V), dynamic impedance (≤650 Ω at IZT = 14 mA), and low leakage current (≤1 μA at 15.2 V).
Thermal performance is characterized by junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 25 °C/W and junction-to-ambient resistance of 226 °C/W under standard mounting conditions. The device supports operation from –55 °C to +150 °C and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5357B | Same 20 V nominal Zener voltage but in DO-201AD package; higher Ptot = 5 W at TL = 75 °C | Requires larger PCB footprint and manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for dense SMT layouts | Select when higher power derating margin is required and board space allows axial/through-hole placement |
| BZX84-C20 | 20 V Zener in SOT-23; lower Ptot = 300 mW at TA = 25 °C and higher ZZT = 50 Ω typical | Higher impedance and lower power limit restrict use to low-current references or signal-level clamping | Select for space-constrained designs where 14 mA test current and 650 Ω max impedance are not required |
Compared with 1N5357B and BZX84-C20, SMBZ5932B-M3/5B offers optimal balance of SMT compatibility, 550 mW ambient-rated power, and 650 Ω impedance-making it preferred for mid-power industrial regulation where DO-214AA footprint and MSL-1 reflow are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SMBZ5932B-M3/5B?
The SMBZ5932B-M3/5B has a Zener voltage range of 19.0 V (minimum) to 21.0 V (maximum) at 14 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5 % tolerance about the nominal 20 V value. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is measured under pulse conditions per JESD22-A114.
Does SMBZ5932B-M3/5B support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, SMBZ5932B-M3/5B is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards, and the M3 suffix confirms halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction.
What is the maximum steady-state Zener current for SMBZ5932B-M3/5B?
The maximum DC Zener current (IZM) for SMBZ5932B-M3/5B is 75 mA at TA = 25 °C, derived from its 550 mW power rating and 20 V nominal Zener voltage. At elevated ambient temperatures, derating applies per the thermal resistance curve in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 89418.
How does SMBZ5932B-M3/5B differ from the E3-suffix version?
The SMBZ5932B-M3/5B uses halogen-free molding compound and conforms to JEDEC JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, while the E3-suffix variant is RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free. Both share identical electrical specifications, SMB package dimensions, and MSL Level 1 rating; only material composition and environmental compliance differ.
Can SMBZ5932B-M3/5B be used in place of a 20 V Zener in a linear regulator feedback path?
Yes, SMBZ5932B-M3/5B is routinely used in feedback networks of linear regulators and switching controllers where a stable 20 V reference is needed. Its 650 Ω Zener impedance and ≤1 μA leakage at 15.2 V ensure minimal loading error and predictable regulation setpoint-provided the external bias resistor delivers ≥14 mA at worst-case input voltage.
