Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5932BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 20 V, ±5% tolerance, 18.7 Ω dynamic impedance at 14 mA test current, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications. It regulates voltage in power supply rails and reference circuits where stable 20 V clamping is required under reverse bias.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5932BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal derating above 75°C, low-profile SMA package compatibility with automated placement, and compliance with automotive reliability standards.
Technical Context
This device operates as a precision voltage reference in reverse breakdown mode, with guaranteed VZ = 19–21 V at IZT = 14 mA and temperature coefficient optimized for 20 V nominal regulation. Its 1.5 W power rating is specified at TL = 75°C with 50 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.
The SZ1SMA5932BT3G features Class 3 ESD protection (>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 high-reliability PCB assemblies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 19 V min / 20 V nom / 21 V max @ IZT = 14 mA - defines tight regulation window for 20 V reference design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75°C - usable full power only with adequate lead heat sinking; derates 20 mW/°C above 75°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 18.7 Ω max @ IZT = 14 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 15.2 V - enables low-power standby regulation without significant quiescent loss |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 50 °C/W - requires minimum 1 in² copper pad per JEDEC standard for safe 1.5 W operation |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - withstands handling and assembly electrostatic discharge without parameter shift |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment systems requiring extended temperature and life testing |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), case 403D, Pb-free, low-profile surface-mount plastic package with flat handling surface and molded cathode band. Cathode polarity indicated by band; anode is unmarked terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for SZ1SMA5932BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5932BT3G has a maximum DC power dissipation of 1.5 W when measured at a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C. Above this temperature, it must be derated linearly at 20 mW/°C. At ambient temperature (TA) = 25°C, the rated power drops to 0.5 W due to higher thermal resistance to ambient (250 °C/W).
Is SZ1SMA5932BT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5932BT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with validation for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and long-term stability under automotive operating conditions (−65°C to +150°C). Its SZ prefix confirms automotive-specific process controls and change management.
What is the zener voltage tolerance and test condition for SZ1SMA5932BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5932BT3G has a ±5% zener voltage tolerance, with nominal VZ = 20 V. This is guaranteed at IZT = 14 mA and thermal equilibrium (TJ = 25°C). The datasheet specifies min/max values of 19 V and 21 V respectively under these conditions.
How does the dynamic impedance of SZ1SMA5932BT3G affect regulation performance?
The SZ1SMA5932BT3G exhibits ZZT = 18.7 Ω max at IZT = 14 mA, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current causes ≤18.7 mV output voltage shift. This low impedance ensures tight regulation under varying load conditions, critical for precision reference and clamping applications.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance of SZ1SMA5932BT3G?
For reliable 1.5 W operation, the SZ1SMA5932BT3G requires a minimum 1 in² copper pad on FR-4 board per onsemi's recommended footprint. Thermal vias under the pad and connection to internal ground planes significantly improve heat transfer and prevent junction temperature exceedance.
