Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5936BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 30 V, maximum zener impedance 12.5 Ω at 26 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 22.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation in automotive power supplies and industrial sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5936BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (250 °C/W at TA = 25°C), AEC−Q101 qualification, and SMA package compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, maintaining stable reverse breakdown across load and line variations. Its 30 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 26 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it exhibits low dynamic impedance (12.5 Ω) to minimize output voltage deviation under changing current conditions.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, the SZ1SMA5936BT3G meets AEC−Q101 stress testing requirements and features ESD robustness >16 kV per Human Body Model. Its thermal performance is characterized by 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance on FR-4 board with minimum recommended footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28.5 V min / 30 V nom / 31.5 V max at IZT = 26 mA - defines regulated output range under standard test conditions |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 12.5 Ω max at IZT = 26 mA - determines AC voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Max DC Power Dissipation | 0.5 W at TA = 25°C - sets absolute upper limit for continuous operation without heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage Current | ≤0.25 μA at VR = 22.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 250 °C/W - quantifies temperature rise per watt dissipated on standard FR-4 PCB layout |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - enables handling in non-ESD-controlled assembly environments |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +150°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient extremes |
Pinout & Package
The SZ1SMA5936BT3G 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 (marked band) | High-side terminal in reverse-bias configuration | Connected to regulated output node; voltage referenced to anode; polarity critical for correct breakdown orientation |
| Anode | Low-side terminal / reference node | Typically tied to system ground or common return path; establishes reference potential for zener regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC−Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics applications requiring extended temperature and reliability validation |
| ±5% zener voltage tolerance | Enables predictable regulation without post-production trimming in cost-sensitive designs |
| 16 kV HBM ESD rating | Reduces need for external ESD protection in front-end power rails and sensor interfaces |
| Pb−Free (RoHS compliant) | Meets global environmental compliance mandates without sacrificing thermal or electrical performance |
| Flat handling surface | Improves pick-and-place accuracy during high-speed SMT assembly, reducing placement misalignment defects |

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-C30LT1G | 30 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, RJA = 375 °C/W | Lower power handling limits use to low-current biasing; smaller footprint reduces PCB area but increases thermal stress | Select when space-constrained layouts prioritize size over power margin and thermal derating is acceptable |
| MMSZ5255B-TP | 30 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package, RJA = 300 °C/W, no AEC−Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and has higher thermal resistance; suitable for commercial-grade instrumentation only | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where AEC−Q101 compliance is not required and 0.5 W dissipation suffices |
Compared with BZX84-C30LT1G and MMSZ5255B-TP, the SZ1SMA5936BT3G provides 3× higher power rating (1.5 W vs. 0.3–0.5 W), lower thermal resistance (250 °C/W), and AEC−Q101 qualification-making it uniquely suited for automotive and high-reliability industrial regulation where sustained power dissipation and environmental robustness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the SZ1SMA5936BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5936BT3G has a nominal zener voltage of 30 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 28.5 V and 31.5 V when tested at IZT = 26 mA and thermal equilibrium. This tight tolerance eliminates need for post-manufacturing calibration in most voltage-reference applications.
Is the SZ1SMA5936BT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5936BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with full stress-test validation across temperature, humidity, and mechanical shock profiles required for automotive powertrain and body electronics. Its −65°C to +150°C operating range and 16 kV HBM ESD rating further confirm suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted systems.
What is the maximum power dissipation of the SZ1SMA5936BT3G at room temperature?
The SZ1SMA5936BT3G has a maximum DC power dissipation of 0.5 W at ambient temperature (TA) = 25°C on an FR-4 board using onsemi's minimum recommended footprint. Derating begins at 4.0 mW/°C above 25°C, limiting usable power to ~0.3 W at 75°C ambient.
How does the thermal resistance of the SZ1SMA5936BT3G compare to smaller-package Zeners?
The SZ1SMA5936BT3G has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 250 °C/W, significantly lower than SOT-23 (375 °C/W) or SOD-123 (300 °C/W) alternatives. This allows higher continuous power handling on standard PCBs without added copper area or heatsinking, directly supporting its 1.5 W peak rating.
What packaging and marking format does the SZ1SMA5936BT3G use?
The SZ1SMA5936BT3G is supplied in Pb−Free SMA (DO-214AC) packages on 5,000-piece tape-and-reel. Its marking consists of "836B" (device code), followed by assembly location, year, and work week (e.g., "A2345"), with cathode polarity indicated by a molded band per Case 403D Style 1 outline.
