Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5928BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 13 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 28.8 Ω at 7.0 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 10.4 V; used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5928BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating above 75°C, low-profile SMA package compatibility, and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, conducting in reverse breakdown to clamp voltage across load circuits. Its 13 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 7.0 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it maintains regulation down to IZK = 0.5 mA where dynamic impedance rises to 550 Ω.
Thermal design requires attention to junction-to-lead resistance (50 °C/W) and power derating: full 1.5 W dissipation is only valid at TL = 75°C; above that, linear derating applies at 20 mW/°C. The device supports top-slide or bottom-board mounting due to its flat handling surface and low-profile SMA case.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.35–13.65 V @ IZT = 7.0 mA; ensures stable 13 V reference under typical bias conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 28.8 Ω max @ IZT; low dynamic resistance enables tight regulation under varying load currents |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75°C; defines maximum continuous power before thermal shutdown or degradation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 10.4 V; guarantees minimal standby current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 50 °C/W; determines junction temperature rise per watt dissipated into lead |
| Operating Temp Range | −65°C to +150°C; supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Yes; validated for automotive applications requiring PPAP documentation and stress testing compliance |
Pinout & Package
The SZ1SMA5928BT3G uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package (Case 403D), featuring a low-profile, void-free molded plastic body with corrosion-resistant, solderable leads and cathode polarity indicated by a molded band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (Band End) | Reverse-biased terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; conducts when voltage exceeds VZ, clamping downstream circuitry |
| Anode | Forward-biased terminal | Connected to lower-potential node (typically ground or return); completes reverse-bias path during regulation |
Key Features

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-C13LT1G | 300 mW SOT-23 package; 13 V ±5%, ZZT = 30 Ω @ 5 mA; not AEC−Q101 qualified | Lower power rating limits use to low-current bias/reference roles; unsuitable for automotive under-hood deployment | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| 1N4742A | 1 W through-hole DO-41; 12 V ±5%, ZZT = 22 Ω @ 21 mA; no AEC−Q101 or Pb-free assurance | Requires manual insertion or wave soldering; lacks surface-mount compatibility and modern ESD robustness | Select for legacy through-hole designs where rework tolerance and cost outweigh SMT benefits |
Compared with BZX84-C13LT1G and 1N4742A, the SZ1SMA5928BT3G provides higher power handling (1.5 W), AEC−Q101 qualification, and superior ESD immunity (>16 kV), making it the preferred choice for new automotive and industrial SMT designs requiring long-term reliability and regulatory compliance.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of SZ1SMA5928BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5928BT3G has a nominal zener voltage of 13 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 12.35 V and 13.65 V when tested at IZT = 7.0 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 devices in the SZ1SMA59xxBT3G family.
Is SZ1SMA5928BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5928BT3G 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 extended reliability testing-making SZ1SMA5928BT3G suitable for under-hood and safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of SZ1SMA5928BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5928BT3G delivers 1.5 W maximum DC power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) = 75°C, with linear derating at 20 mW/°C above that point. At ambient temperature (TA) = 25°C, the rated power drops to 0.5 W due to higher thermal resistance to ambient (250 °C/W), as documented in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet.
Does SZ1SMA5928BT3G have ESD protection, and what level is specified?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5928BT3G features an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per the Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. This high-level ESD robustness is built into the device structure and verified during qualification, reducing risk of damage during automated handling and PCB assembly.
What package type and marking code does SZ1SMA5928BT3G use?
The SZ1SMA5928BT3G uses the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package (Case 403D), with cathode identified by a molded polarity band. Its marking code is "828B", as shown in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet-where "828" corresponds to the 13 V zener voltage and "B" indicates ±5% tolerance.
