Product details
Overview
SZ1SMA5941BT3G from onsemi is a 1.5 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 47 V, maximum zener impedance of 8.0 Ω at 67 mA test current, and reverse leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 35.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation in automotive power supplies and industrial sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMA5941BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), AEC−Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (250 °C/W junction-to-ambient), and low-profile SMA package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable output voltage across varying load and line conditions. Its 47 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 67 mA with ±5% tolerance, and it exhibits temperature coefficient behavior typical of mid-voltage Zeners (≈+3.5 mV/°C near 47 V).
The SZ1SMA5941BT3G features a Pb-free SMA package (Case 403D) with cathode band marking, rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and 260 °C soldering peak temperature. It delivers 1.5 W power dissipation at TL = 75 °C with 50 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44.65 V (min) to 49.35 V (max) at IZT = 67 mA - defines regulated output range under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.5 W @ TL = 75 °C - supports continuous operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 8.0 Ω max @ IZT = 67 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 35.8 V - enables low-quiescent-current bias networks in battery-powered systems |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 250 °C/W - determines required copper area and airflow for thermal management in enclosed enclosures |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - provides robust handling during board assembly without additional ESD protection |
Pinout & Package
SMA package (Case 403D), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with molded cathode band polarity indicator. Dimensions: 4.5 × 2.7 × 2.1 mm (L × W × H). Cathode terminal marked by band; anode is unmarked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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-C47LT1G | 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, 45.6–48.4 V VZ range, 100 Ω ZZT | Lower power handling limits use to low-current references (<5 mA); unsuitable for transient clamping | Select when board space is critical and power dissipation remains <300 mW |
| 1N4750A | 1 W rating, DO-41 through-hole package, 44.65–49.35 V VZ, 10 Ω ZZT at 45 mA | Requires manual insertion or wave soldering; lacks AEC−Q101 qualification and HBM ESD rating | Select for legacy through-hole designs where automotive qualification is not required |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for SZ1SMA5941BT3G?
The SZ1SMA5941BT3G has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, meaning its reverse breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 44.65 V and 49.35 V at the specified test current of 67 mA. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Is SZ1SMA5941BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5941BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes compliance with automotive-specific site and control change requirements, and the device meets stress testing standards for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock required in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZ1SMA5941BT3G at ambient temperature?
The SZ1SMA5941BT3G dissipates up to 0.5 W at TA = 25 °C, with linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. At 75 °C lead temperature, it supports 1.5 W, but ambient-limited operation requires thermal design to stay within the 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance limit to avoid exceeding the 150 °C maximum junction temperature.
Does SZ1SMA5941BT3G have Pb-free construction?
Yes, the SZ1SMA5941BT3G is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant, as stated in both the "Features" and "Mechanical Characteristics" sections of the onsemi datasheet. The "G" suffix in the part number and the "Pb−Free Package" designation confirm compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity and reflow profile standards for lead-free assembly.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for SZ1SMA5941BT3G?
The reverse leakage current for SZ1SMA5941BT3G is ≤0.25 μA at VR = 35.8 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and reflects the device's ability to minimize standby current in high-impedance bias networks, such as those used in precision analog sensor interfaces or low-power monitoring circuits.
