Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5925BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 10 V, ±5% tolerance, 37.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 4.5 mA test current, and 0.25 μA leakage current at 8.0 V reverse voltage-used for precision voltage regulation in automotive power rails and industrial sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5925BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (50 °C/W junction-to-lead), AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile SMA package compatibility, and 16 kV HBM ESD rating for harsh-environment designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage at its specified VZ when forward-biased current falls below IZK. It maintains regulation across −65 °C to +150 °C with temperature coefficient optimized for 10 V nominal devices.
Its 1.5 W power dissipation at TL = 75 °C and 50 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance enable stable operation under PCB-conducted heat, while the 0.25 μA IR @ VR = 8.0 V ensures minimal standby current draw in battery-sensitive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.5 V min / 10.0 V nom / 10.5 V max - defines regulated output voltage window under IZT = 4.5 mA |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 37.5 Ω max @ IZT = 4.5 mA - determines voltage deviation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load on PCB copper pad |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 8.0 V - ensures negligible quiescent current in off-state circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 50 °C/W - links junction temperature rise directly to lead temperature in surface-mount layout |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - supports robust handling in automated SMT lines without special ESD controls |
| Operating Temp Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SMA5925BT3G | No AEC-Q101 qualification; same electrical specs and SMA package | Not approved for automotive production; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost sensitivity is higher |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | 500 mW rating, 10 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 17 Ω ZZT, no AEC-Q101 | Lower power handling limits use to low-current biasing; smaller footprint reduces PCB area | Select for space-constrained consumer electronics where 1.5 W dissipation is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for SZ1SMA5925BT3G?
SZ1SMA5925BT3G has a ±5% zener voltage tolerance, with guaranteed minimum, nominal, and maximum values of 9.5 V, 10.0 V, and 10.5 V respectively at IZT = 4.5 mA and thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is SZ1SMA5925BT3G qualified for automotive use?
Yes, SZ1SMA5925BT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, site-specific change management, and validation for under-hood and chassis-mounted applications.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZ1SMA5925BT3G at 100°C lead temperature?
At 100°C lead temperature, SZ1SMA5925BT3G derates linearly from 1.5 W at 75°C using the 20 mW/°C derating factor. This yields 1.5 W − (100 − 75) × 0.02 W = 1.0 W maximum continuous power dissipation-verified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet.
Does SZ1SMA5925BT3G have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, Figure 6 in the onsemi datasheet shows the temperature coefficient (θVZ) for 10 V nominal Zeners like SZ1SMA5925BT3G is approximately +6.5 mV/°C near room temperature, indicating positive drift with increasing junction temperature-a key parameter for precision biasing stability.
What is the cathode marking convention for SZ1SMA5925BT3G?
SZ1SMA5925BT3G uses a molded cathode band on the SMA package body to identify the cathode terminal, as stated in the Mechanical Characteristics section. This band aligns with Pin 1 in Style 1 mechanical outline (case 403D), and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in circuit layout.
