Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5926BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 11 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance 34.1 Ω at 5.5 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 8.4 V. It operates from −65 °C to +150 °C and is AEC−Q101 qualified for automotive power rail regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5926BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (50 °C/W junction-to-lead), low-profile SMA package compatibility, and Class 3 ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in DC power rails. Its 11 V nominal breakdown is specified at IZT = 5.5 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains stable regulation across temperature due to its defined voltage coefficient curve (θVZ ≈ +3.5 mV/°C near 11 V per Figure 6).
The SMA package enables top-slide or bottom-board mounting with flat handling surface and Pb-free construction. Thermal performance is characterized by RJL = 50 °C/W and derating starts at 75 °C ambient, supporting reliable operation in space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.45–11.55 V @ IZT = 5.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage range under standard test conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 34.1 Ω max @ IZT = 5.5 mA - determines voltage deviation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75 °C - sets maximum steady-state power handling with zero-lead-length thermal condition |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 8.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby clamping applications |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 50 °C/W - quantifies junction-to-lead heat transfer efficiency for thermal design margining |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - supports robustness in automated assembly and end-use environments |
| Operating Temp Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial control modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (Case 403D), surface-mount, low-profile plastic package with cathode band marking and Pb-free finish. Mounting supports top-slide or bottom-board orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C11LT1G | 0.3 W power rating, SOT-23 package, 11 V ±5%, ZZT = 40 Ω @ 5 mA | Lower power handling limits use in high-current clamping; smaller footprint suits ultra-dense layouts | Select when board space is constrained and peak clamping energy ≤0.3 W; verify thermal margin at 75 °C ambient |
| 1N4740A | 1 W axial-lead package, 10 V ±5%, ZZT = 20 Ω @ 25 mA, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Through-hole mounting requires manual or wave soldering; unsuitable for automotive production | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes where AEC-Q101 compliance and SMT are not required |
Compared with BZX84-C11LT1G and 1N4740A, SZ1SMA5926BT3G delivers higher power dissipation (1.5 W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SMA package compatibility-making it optimal for automotive-grade surface-mount voltage regulation where reliability and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SZ1SMA5926BT3G?
SZ1SMA5926BT3G has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a nominal value of 11 V and guaranteed limits of 10.45 V (min) and 11.55 V (max) at IZT = 5.5 mA and thermal equilibrium. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the onsemi datasheet.
Is SZ1SMA5926BT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZ1SMA5926BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with explicit automotive suitability noted in the datasheet's features section. Its −65 °C to +150 °C operating range, Class 3 ESD rating, and Pb-free construction meet automotive electronics requirements for under-hood and body-control modules.
What is the maximum DC zener current (IZM) for SZ1SMA5926BT3G?
The maximum DC zener current IZM for SZ1SMA5926BT3G is 136 mA, calculated from PD = 1.5 W and VZ = 11.05 V (typical mid-point). This value is derived directly from the datasheet's "Maximum DC Zener Current" column on page 2 and reflects safe continuous conduction capability at thermal equilibrium.
How does the thermal resistance of SZ1SMA5926BT3G affect PCB layout?
SZ1SMA5926BT3G has RJL = 50 °C/W (junction-to-lead), meaning each watt of dissipated power raises the junction temperature by 50 °C above lead temperature. To maintain reliability, PCB layout must provide adequate copper area (e.g., ≥1 in² FR-4 pad) and avoid thermal bottlenecks between the SMA leads and internal ground/power planes.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZ1SMA5926BT3G?
SZ1SMA5926BT3G specifies reverse leakage current IR ≤0.25 μA at VR = 8.4 V (80% of nominal VZ). This low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed systems and preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference circuits where leakage could cause offset errors.
