Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5930BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 16 V (±5%), maximum zener impedance of 23.4 Ω at 10 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 12.2 V. It operates from −65 °C to +150 °C and is AEC−Q101 qualified for automotive applications requiring stable voltage regulation in power supply rails and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5930BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (50 °C/W junction-to-lead), DC power dissipation derating above 75 °C, and Pb-free SMA package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device functions as a precision voltage reference and shunt regulator in low-power DC circuits. Its zener breakdown is specified at IZT = 10 mA with VZ = 15.2–16.8 V, and it maintains low dynamic impedance (ZZT ≤ 23.4 Ω) and tight regulation across temperature extremes.
The SZ1SMA5930BT3G features an ESD rating >16 kV (HBM Class 3), UL 94 V−0 flammability compliance, and a flat handling surface optimized for accurate placement. Its cathode is marked by a molded polarity notch or band, and it supports top-slide or bottom-board mounting in the low-profile SMA package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.2–16.8 V @ IZT = 10 mA - defines regulated output voltage range under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75 °C - maximum continuous power at lead temperature; derates 20 mW/°C above 75 °C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤23.4 Ω @ IZT = 10 mA - ensures minimal voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 12.2 V - guarantees low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction-to-Lead RθJL | 50 °C/W - enables thermal design with copper pad heatsinking for sustained 1.5 W operation |
| Operating Temp Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive electronics per stress testing requirements including HTOL, TC, and HAST |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SMA5930BT3G | No AEC−Q101 qualification; identical electrical specs and SMA package | Not suitable for automotive production; acceptable for industrial/commercial prototypes | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost sensitivity is high |
| BZX84-C16 | Lower power rating (300 mW), SOT-23 package, ±5% tolerance, 16 V nominal | Limited to low-current biasing; unsuitable for >100 mA clamping or sustained 1.5 W dissipation | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where power demand is <100 mW and thermal margin is ample |
Compared with 1SMA5930BT3G and BZX84-C16, the SZ1SMA5930BT3G uniquely combines automotive qualification, 1.5 W power handling, and SMA thermal performance-making it the only option for production-grade 16 V clamping in engine control modules or ADAS power domains.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of the SZ1SMA5930BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5930BT3G has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a nominal value of 16 V and guaranteed limits of 15.2 V (minimum) and 16.8 V (maximum) at IZT = 10 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 11, August 2021). The SZ1SMA5930BT3G maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is the SZ1SMA5930BT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5930BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications such as engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade qualification, including stress testing for high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and humidity bias. The SZ1SMA5930BT3G meets all requirements for under-hood deployment up to +150 °C junction temperature.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the SZ1SMA5930BT3G at 100°C lead temperature?
At a lead temperature (TL) of 100 °C, the SZ1SMA5930BT3G's maximum power dissipation is 1.0 W. This is calculated from its base rating of 1.5 W at TL = 75 °C, with linear derating at 20 mW/°C above 75 °C: 1.5 W − (25 °C × 0.02 W/°C) = 1.0 W. This value assumes proper PCB copper pad heatsinking per onsemi's recommended footprint on FR-4 board.
Does the SZ1SMA5930BT3G have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5930BT3G has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.2 V at IF = 200 mA, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table. This parameter applies when the device is operated in forward conduction mode, such as during ESD event clamping or reverse-polarity protection. The SZ1SMA5930BT3G's forward characteristics are consistent with standard silicon diodes and support bidirectional transient suppression in certain configurations.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for the SZ1SMA5930BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5930BT3G has a thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 250 °C/W under standard FR-4 board conditions with onsemi's minimum recommended footprint. However, its junction-to-lead (RθJL) is 50 °C/W - a more relevant metric for SMT applications with adequate copper pad area. For reliable 1.5 W operation, the SZ1SMA5930BT3G requires a 1 in² copper pad per the datasheet note, yielding effective thermal performance closer to the RθJL value.
