Product details
Overview
SZ1SMB5926BT3G from onsemi is a 3 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 11 V, ±5% tolerance, 34.1 Ω dynamic impedance at 5.5 mA test current, and 0.25 μA leakage current at 8.4 V reverse bias-used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMB5926BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature, low leakage at rated VR, thermal derating above 75°C, and AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-anode polarity, designed for DC stabilization in low-power supply rails and transient clamping circuits. Its 3 W steady-state dissipation at TL = 75°C and 550 mW at TA = 25°C enables robust operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts.
The SMB package (Case 403A) supports top- or bottom-side mounting, features a modified L-bend lead for enhanced pad adhesion, and meets UL 94 V−0 flammability rating. It is Pb−free, AEC−Q101 qualified, and rated for −65°C to +150°C operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 10.45–11.55 V (±5% tolerance at IZT = 5.5 mA; ensures stable reference within 0.55 V window under nominal bias) |
| Max Power Dissipation | 3.0 W at TL = 75°C (derates linearly to zero at 150°C; defines maximum continuous thermal load at lead temperature) |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 34.1 Ω at IZT = 5.5 mA (low dynamic resistance maintains voltage regulation accuracy under varying load currents) |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA at VR = 8.4 V (ultra-low reverse conduction minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems) |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 40 °C/W junction-to-lead (enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; critical for sustained 3 W operation without heatsink) |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) (robust handling during automated assembly and field operation without external protection) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount plastic package with cathode polarity band, void-free transfer-molded construction, UL 94 V−0 rated, Pb−free, and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry / Zener reverse bias return | Connected to lower-potential node in regulation circuit; forms reference ground return path during breakdown |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Voltage reference output | Connected to regulated rail; delivers stable 11 V output when reverse biased above VZ; marked by polarity band |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC−Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics requiring extended temperature and lifetime reliability |
| Flat handling surface | Enables high-accuracy placement during pick-and-place assembly, reducing tombstoning and misalignment on fine-pitch PCBs |
| Modified L-bend leads | Increases solder joint contact area and mechanical strength, improving resistance to thermal cycling and board flex stress |
| Top/bottom mounting flexibility | Allows layout optimization in space-constrained designs-e.g., stacked boards or shielded enclosures where component height matters |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SMB5926BT3G | Same electrical specs and SMB package; lacks SZ prefix and AEC−Q101 qualification documentation | Not certified for automotive use; suitable for commercial/industrial applications only | Select when AEC−Q101 compliance is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification traceability |
| BZX84-C11LT1G | Lower power (350 mW), SOT-23 package, 10–12 V range, 20 Ω ZZT at 5 mA | Used in ultra-low-power portable devices; insufficient for 3 W continuous dissipation | Choose for space-constrained, low-current biasing where thermal budget prohibits SMB footprint |
Compared with 1SMB5926BT3G and BZX84-C11LT1G, SZ1SMB5926BT3G uniquely combines automotive qualification, 3 W thermal capability, and tight 11 V regulation-making it irreplaceable in high-reliability 12 V rail conditioning where both power handling and certification matter.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SZ1SMB5926BT3G?
The SZ1SMB5926BT3G has a nominal zener voltage of 11 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 10.45 V and 11.55 V when tested at IZT = 5.5 mA and TL = 30°C. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet.
Is SZ1SMB5926BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZ1SMB5926BT3G is explicitly AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls and site-specific change management-making SZ1SMB5926BT3G suitable for engine control units, ADAS sensors, and other mission-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZ1SMB5926BT3G at room temperature?
SZ1SMB5926BT3G dissipates up to 550 mW at TA = 25°C, with linear derating of 4.4 mW/°C above that temperature. At TL = 75°C, its maximum steady-state power rises to 3.0 W-leveraging the low RJL = 40 °C/W to transfer heat efficiently from junction to PCB copper.
How does the leakage current of SZ1SMB5926BT3G compare to similar 11 V Zeners?
SZ1SMB5926BT3G specifies only 0.25 μA maximum leakage current at VR = 8.4 V, which is significantly lower than many legacy 11 V Zeners (e.g., 1 μA typical). This ultra-low leakage reduces standby power loss in battery-powered systems and improves accuracy in high-impedance reference networks where leakage-induced error must be minimized.
What package type does SZ1SMB5926BT3G use, and what are its key mechanical features?
SZ1SMB5926BT3G uses the SMB package (Case 403A), a surface-mount plastic case with dimensions 4.06 mm × 2.74 mm × 2.26 mm. Key mechanical features include a flat handling surface for precise placement, modified L-bend leads for enhanced solder joint reliability, cathode polarity band marking, and UL 94 V−0 flammability rating-ensuring robust manufacturability and safety compliance.
