Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5924BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 9.1 V, maximum zener impedance of 41.2 Ω at 4.0 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.5 μA at 7.0 V; used for precision voltage regulation in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5924BT3G 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 assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference in reverse-biased mode, maintaining stable output voltage across load and line variations. Its 9.1 V nominal breakdown is specified at IZT = 4.0 mA with 5% tolerance, and it exhibits low dynamic impedance (41.2 Ω) to minimize regulation error under transient load changes.
The SZ1SMA5924BT3G features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), Pb-free construction, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. It is rated for operation from −65 °C to +150 °C and supports top-slide or bottom-board mounting in the low-profile SMA package.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SMA5924BT3G | No AEC-Q101 qualification; identical electrical specs and SMA package. | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for industrial/commercial designs. | Select when AEC-Q101 compliance is not required and cost sensitivity is higher. |
| BZX84-C9V1 | Lower power rating (300 mW), higher Zener impedance (90 Ω), SOT-23 package. | Limited to low-current biasing; unsuitable for >10 mA regulation or surge clamping. | Choose only for space-constrained, low-power signal-level references where 9.1 V tolerance is acceptable. |
Compared with SZ1SMA5924BT3G, the 1SMA5924BT3G offers identical regulation performance but lacks automotive qualification, while BZX84-C9V1 trades power handling and impedance for smaller footprint-making SZ1SMA5924BT3G optimal for robust, medium-power voltage reference needs.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage of SZ1SMA5924BT3G and how is it tested?
The nominal zener voltage of SZ1SMA5924BT3G is 9.1 V, measured at a test current (IZT) of 4.0 mA under thermal equilibrium conditions at TA = 25°C. This value falls within the guaranteed range of 8.64 V (min) to 9.56 V (max), reflecting its ±5% tolerance grade. The device maintains this regulation point across its full operating temperature range.
Is SZ1SMA5924BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZ1SMA5924BT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive electronic control units, body electronics, and infotainment systems. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and change control requirements, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade 1SMA5924BT3G variant.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZ1SMA5924BT3G at ambient temperature?
SZ1SMA5924BT3G has a maximum DC power dissipation of 0.5 W at TA = 25°C. Above this temperature, it derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C up to 125°C ambient, after which operation is not recommended. This rating assumes use of onsemi's minimum recommended FR-4 footprint with adequate copper area for heat spreading.
How does the zener impedance of SZ1SMA5924BT3G affect voltage regulation accuracy?
The zener impedance (ZZT) of SZ1SMA5924BT3G is 41.2 Ω at IZT = 4.0 mA. This low dynamic resistance ensures minimal voltage deviation under load current changes-e.g., a 1 mA variation in zener current causes only ~41 mV shift in output voltage. This directly improves regulation accuracy in feedback and reference circuits.
What package type and mounting orientation does SZ1SMA5924BT3G use?
SZ1SMA5924BT3G uses the SMA (DO-214AC, Case 403D) surface-mount package with a flat handling surface and molded cathode band. It supports both top-slide and bottom-circuit board mounting. The cathode (band end) must be aligned with the PCB silkscreen polarity indicator to ensure correct reverse-bias operation.
