Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5923BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 8.2 V, maximum zener impedance of 45.7 Ω at 3.5 mA test current, and leakage current ≤0.5 μA at 6.5 V reverse voltage - used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5923BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-ambient), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and SMA package compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse bias above its specified zener voltage (7.79–8.61 V) while maintaining stable regulation across a DC zener current range of 0.5 to 183 mA. Its low-profile SMA package supports top-slide or bottom-board mounting and features a flat handling surface for accurate pick-and-place alignment.
The SZ1SMA5923BT3G series is AEC-Q101 qualified and Pb-free, with ESD rating >16 kV per Human Body Model. It exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately +3.5 mV/°C near 8.2 V, and its zener impedance drops with increasing test current - 45.7 Ω at IZT = 3.5 mA and 400 Ω at IZK = 0.5 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.79–8.61 V @ IZT = 3.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 0.5 W @ TA = 25°C - limits continuous operation without forced cooling or PCB copper area |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 45.7 Ω max @ IZT = 3.5 mA - determines AC ripple rejection and load regulation sensitivity |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.5 μA @ VR = 6.5 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 250 °C/W - requires ≥1 in² FR-4 copper pad to sustain full 0.5 W at ambient 25°C |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robust handling in unshielded assembly environments |
| Operating Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C - supports automotive under-hood and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package

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-C8V2LT1G | 0.3 W rating, SOT-23 package, 8.2 V ±5%, ZZT = 40 Ω @ 5 mA | Lower power handling; suitable only for signal-level biasing, not power regulation | Select when board space is constrained and dissipation remains <300 mW |
| MMSZ5231BT1G | 0.5 W rating, SOD-123 package, 8.2 V ±5%, ZZT = 30 Ω @ 20 mA | Higher test current requirement; better regulation at higher loads but lower surge capability | Select when tighter voltage regulation at >10 mA is prioritized over transient energy absorption |
Compared with BZX84-C8V2LT1G and MMSZ5231BT1G, the SZ1SMA5923BT3G delivers higher power handling (0.5 W vs. 0.3 W), superior surge robustness due to larger die and SMA thermal mass, and AEC-Q101 qualification - making it preferred for automotive and industrial power regulation where reliability under thermal stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SZ1SMA5923BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5923BT3G has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with minimum, nominal, and maximum values of 7.79 V, 8.2 V, and 8.61 V respectively, measured at IZT = 3.5 mA and thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is guaranteed per the device marking designation and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. The SZ1SMA5923BT3G datasheet specifies these limits in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2.
Is SZ1SMA5923BT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZ1SMA5923BT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with explicit automotive qualification noted in the datasheet's Features section. Its construction includes Pb-free materials, ESD robustness >16 kV HBM, and operation over −65°C to +150°C - meeting requirements for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-specific site and change control, confirming its suitability for automotive use cases.
What is the maximum DC zener current for SZ1SMA5923BT3G?
The maximum DC zener current (IZM) for SZ1SMA5923BT3G is 183 mA, calculated from PD = 0.5 W and VZ = 8.2 V (IZM = PD/VZ). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet. Operation above this current risks thermal runaway unless derated per the power derating curve in Figure 1, especially above 25°C ambient temperature.
Does SZ1SMA5923BT3G have a defined thermal resistance junction-to-lead?
Yes, SZ1SMA5923BT3G has a thermal resistance of RJL = 50 °C/W junction-to-lead, specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet. This parameter assumes zero lead length and is measured with a 1 in² copper pad on FR-4 board. It enables thermal modeling of solder-joint temperature rise under steady-state conditions and supports layout decisions involving thermal vias and copper pour design.
How is polarity identified on the SZ1SMA5923BT3G package?
Polarity on the SZ1SMA5923BT3G is indicated by a molded cathode band at one end of the SMA package, consistent with Case 403D Style 1. The cathode terminal must be connected to the higher-potential node in shunt regulator configurations. This marking is visible under standard optical inspection and aligns with the pinout diagram on page 4 of the datasheet, where Pin 1 is labeled "Cathode (Polarity Band)".
