Product details
Overview
SZ1SMB5928BT3G from onsemi is a 3 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 13 V, ±5% tolerance, 28.8 Ω dynamic impedance at 7 mA test current, and 0.25 μA reverse leakage at 9.9 V, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power supplies and industrial DC rails.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMB5928BT3G 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 SMB package thermal performance under sustained 3 W dissipation.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference, clamping reverse-biased voltage to its specified zener breakdown level with minimal deviation over temperature and current variation. Its 13 V nominal zener voltage falls within the 12–82 V range where temperature coefficient is positive and stable (≈+4.5 mV/°C), enabling predictable drift behavior in feedback loops.
The SMB package delivers 40 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance and supports 3.0 W steady-state dissipation at 75 °C lead temperature, with derating to 550 mW at 25 °C ambient. It features ESD robustness >16 kV HBM and Pb-free construction compliant with automotive PPAP requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 12.35–13.65 V @ IZT = 7 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under nominal bias |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 28.8 Ω max @ IZT = 7 mA - determines regulation accuracy under load transients |
| Max DC Zener Current (IZM) | 115 mA - sets absolute upper limit for continuous safe conduction without thermal runaway |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 9.9 V - ensures minimal standby current in undervoltage detection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0 W @ TL = 75 °C - enables compact PCB layout with direct lead heat sinking |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 40 °C/W - allows accurate junction temperature estimation from measured lead temperature |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per HBM - eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level interfaces |
Pinout & Package
The SZ1SMB5928BT3G uses the SMB (Case 403A) surface-mount plastic package with cathode indicated by a polarity band. Dimensions: 3.56 mm × 4.32 mm × 1.02 mm (L × W × H), with modified L-bend leads for enhanced pad contact area and solder joint reliability.

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-C13LT1G | 250 mW SOT-23 package, 13 V ±5%, ZZT = 30 Ω @ 5 mA | Lower power rating limits use to signal-level clamping only; unsuitable for 3 W rail protection | Select when space-constrained PCBs require SOT-23 footprint and peak power <0.25 W |
| 1N5349B | 5 W DO-15 through-hole package, 13 V ±5%, ZZT = 10 Ω @ 150 mA | Higher power and lower impedance suit high-current regulation but require manual assembly or wave soldering | Select when thermal mass and higher surge capability are prioritized over SMT automation compatibility |
Compared with BZX84-C13LT1G and 1N5349B, SZ1SMB5928BT3G uniquely balances 3 W surface-mount power handling, AEC−Q101 qualification, and SMB thermal performance-making it optimal for automotive and industrial SMT production where reliability, manufacturability, and mid-power clamping intersect.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of SZ1SMB5928BT3G?
The SZ1SMB5928BT3G has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a specified range of 12.35 V to 13.65 V at 7 mA test current (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official onsemi datasheet, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Is SZ1SMB5928BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZ1SMB5928BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as explicitly stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, including site-specific process validation, extended reliability testing, and full traceability-making SZ1SMB5928BT3G suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted systems.
What is the maximum power dissipation for SZ1SMB5928BT3G at 25°C ambient?
SZ1SMB5928BT3G has a maximum steady-state power dissipation of 550 mW at TA = 25°C, with a derating factor of 4.4 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is defined in the Maximum Ratings table (page 1) and assumes FR-4 board mounting with the recommended footprint per the datasheet's mechanical drawings.
How does the dynamic impedance of SZ1SMB5928BT3G affect regulation performance?
The dynamic impedance of SZ1SMB5928BT3G is 28.8 Ω maximum at IZT = 7 mA, directly impacting output voltage variation under changing load current. For example, a 10 mA load step induces ≤288 mV deviation-critical for maintaining stability in feedback networks and precision reference circuits where tight regulation is required.
What packaging and reel configuration is available for SZ1SMB5928BT3G?
SZ1SMB5928BT3G is supplied in Pb-free SMB packages on tape-and-reel format, with 2,500 units per reel. The ordering information on page 1 of the datasheet confirms this configuration, and the marking diagram shows "928B" as the device code with optional "G" suffix or microdot indicating Pb-free status.
