Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5920BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 6.2 V, ±5% tolerance, 60.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 4 mA test current, and 2.5 μA leakage current at 4.96 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5920BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal derating behavior above 75°C, low-profile SMA package compatibility with automated placement, and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating element relying on controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its 6.2 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZT = 4 mA, with guaranteed min/max limits of 5.89 V and 6.51 V under thermal equilibrium conditions.
The SMA package (Case 403D) features a flat handling surface and polarity band marking, supporting top-slide or bottom-board mounting. Thermal resistance is 50 °C/W junction-to-lead and 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient, requiring careful PCB copper area design to sustain full 1.5 W dissipation only at TL ≤ 75°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.2 V nominal, 5.89–6.51 V range at IZT = 4 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75°C - requires ≥1 in² copper pad on FR-4 for full rating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 60.5 Ω @ IZT = 4 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 2.5 μA @ VR = 4.96 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 250 °C/W - mandates thermal-aware layout to avoid exceeding 150°C max junction temperature |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - supports robust handling in unshielded assembly environments |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics including infotainment power rails and sensor biasing |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (banded end) | Reverse-bias terminal | Connected to higher-potential node in Zener regulation; carries full Zener current during conduction |
| Anode (unmarked end) | Reference/ground terminal | Typically tied to circuit ground or lower-voltage rail; establishes reference potential for voltage clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C6V2 | 0.3 W rating, SOT-23 package, 60 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA - lower power, smaller footprint | Not rated for AEC−Q101; limited to consumer-grade portable devices | Select when board space is constrained and power dissipation remains below 300 mW |
| MMSZ5232B | 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package, 68 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA - higher test current, different thermal profile | Lacks automotive qualification; used in telecom power management where vibration resistance is less critical | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 1.5 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C6V2 and MMSZ5232B, SZ1SMA5920BT3G delivers higher power handling (1.5 W), AEC−Q101 compliance, and SMA package robustness-making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial applications demanding sustained regulation under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZ1SMA5920BT3G?
SZ1SMA5920BT3G has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 5.89 V and 6.51 V respectively at IZT = 4 mA and thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet and applies to all units within the SZ1SMA5920BT3G orderable part number.
Is SZ1SMA5920BT3G qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SZ1SMA5920BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix specifically denotes automotive-grade variants meeting stringent reliability and process control requirements, making SZ1SMA5920BT3G suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics where temperature cycling and long-term stability are critical.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZ1SMA5920BT3G at 100°C lead temperature?
At 100°C lead temperature, SZ1SMA5920BT3G must be derated linearly from its 1.5 W rating at 75°C. With a derating factor of 20 mW/°C above 75°C, the allowable power drops to 1.0 W (1.5 W − (25°C × 20 mW/°C)). This value is derived directly from the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Does SZ1SMA5920BT3G have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, SZ1SMA5920BT3G specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.2 V at IF = 200 mA, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics summary on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet. This parameter is consistent across the entire 1SMA59xxBT3G/SZ1SMA59xxBT3G series and confirms diode functionality in forward-biased configurations such as polarity protection.
What packaging format is used for SZ1SMA5920BT3G?
SZ1SMA5920BT3G is supplied in tape-and-reel format with 5,000 units per reel, using the Pb-free SMA package (Case 403D). The ordering information on page 1 of the onsemi datasheet confirms this configuration, and the mechanical outline drawing on page 5 verifies the SMA footprint and polarity band marking for automated placement.
