Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5933BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 22 V, ±5% tolerance, 17 Ω dynamic impedance at 17.5 mA test current, and 0.25 μA leakage current at 16.7 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5933BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature, low dynamic impedance for tight regulation, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and SMA package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode with sharp reverse breakdown at 22 V under DC conditions. Its thermal resistance junction-to-lead is 50 °C/W, enabling stable 1.5 W dissipation at lead temperature ≤75 °C, and it maintains regulation down to 1 mA zener current.
The SZ prefix confirms AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive-grade process control, while the Pb-free SMA package (Case 403D) supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. ESD robustness exceeds 16 kV HBM, suitable for handling in uncontrolled environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.9 V min / 22 V nom / 23.1 V max @ IZT = 17.5 mA - ensures ±5% regulation accuracy in feedback loops |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 17 Ω max @ IZT = 17.5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with copper pad heatsinking |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 16.7 V - prevents significant error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - eliminates need for external ESD protection during board handling and assembly |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22LT1G | 0.3 W rating, SOT-23 package, 22 V ±5%, 55 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA - lower power and higher impedance | Best suited for low-current biasing or signal-level clamping, not 1.5 W power regulation | Select when space-constrained PCBs require SOT-23 footprint and power demand is ≤300 mW |
| 1N4742A | 1 W rating, DO-41 through-hole package, 22 V ±5%, 20 Ω ZZT @ 19 mA - legacy axial lead, higher thermal resistance | Applicable where manual assembly or prototyping with breadboards is required | Select only for through-hole prototypes or legacy repair; not suitable for automated SMT production or AEC-Q101 compliance |
Compared with BZX84-C22LT1G and 1N4742A, the SZ1SMA5933BT3G delivers higher power handling (1.5 W), lower dynamic impedance (17 Ω), and automotive qualification - making it the preferred choice for production-grade SMT power regulation where reliability and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZ1SMA5933BT3G at 75°C lead temperature?
The SZ1SMA5933BT3G has a maximum DC power dissipation of 1.5 W at a lead temperature (TL) of 75°C. Above this temperature, power must be linearly derated at 20 mW/°C. This rating assumes measurement with zero lead length on a 1 in² copper pad on FR-4 board, as defined in the onsemi datasheet.
Is SZ1SMA5933BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5933BT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. The "SZ" prefix explicitly denotes automotive-grade process control, site-specific change management, and extended reliability testing - distinguishing it from the commercial-grade 1SMA5933BT3G variant.
What is the zener voltage tolerance and test condition for SZ1SMA5933BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5933BT3G has a nominal zener voltage of 22 V with a tolerance of ±5%, guaranteed at thermal equilibrium. The specified limits (20.9 V min / 23.1 V max) are measured at IZT = 17.5 mA and TA = 25°C, per the onsemi Electrical Characteristics table.
Does SZ1SMA5933BT3G have ESD protection built-in?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5933BT3G features an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per the Human Body Model (HBM). This level of robustness is inherent to the device structure and packaging, eliminating the need for additional external ESD protection in most handling and board-level scenarios.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RJL) for SZ1SMA5933BT3G?
The thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RJL) for SZ1SMA5933BT3G is 50 °C/W. This value enables accurate thermal modeling when mounted on PCBs with copper pads, supporting reliable 1.5 W operation at lead temperatures up to 75°C without exceeding maximum junction temperature limits.
