Product details
Overview
SZ1SMB5944BT3G from onsemi is a 3 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal Zener voltage of 62 V, ±5% tolerance, 6 mA test current (IZT), and maximum dynamic impedance of 1500 Ω at IZT - designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and industrial DC supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMB5944BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a stable, AEC−Q101 qualified voltage reference in compact SMB packages where thermal robustness, ESD resilience (>16 kV HBM), and tight voltage tolerance are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This Zener regulator operates in reverse breakdown mode with specified VZ measured at IZT = 6 mA and TL = 30°C. Its 1500 Ω maximum Zener impedance at IZT and 0.25 μA maximum leakage current at VR = 47.1 V reflect low-noise, high-stability regulation performance under steady-state DC conditions.
The device features a modified L-bend lead configuration for enhanced solder joint reliability, UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and Pb−free construction compliant with RoHS. It is rated for −65°C to +150°C operating temperature and supports top-side or bottom-side PCB mounting per its flat handling surface design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 62 V nominal (58.9–65.1 V range); enables precise clamping in 48 V and 60 V system rails. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0 W @ TL = 75°C; supports sustained regulation without forced cooling in thermally constrained layouts. |
| Zener Test Current (IZT) | 6 mA; defines the operating point where VZ and ZZT are guaranteed per datasheet. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤1500 Ω @ IZT; ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 47.1 V; guarantees negligible standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 40 °C/W junction-to-lead; allows accurate thermal modeling when mounted to copper pour or heatsink pad. |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM); provides robust handling and in-system immunity without external protection. |

Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount plastic package with cathode polarity band. Dimensions: 3.56 mm × 4.32 mm × 1.02 mm (L × W × H), with modified L-bend leads for improved pad contact area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; establishes reference potential for reverse-biased operation. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to protected node or voltage rail; delivers stable 62 V clamp during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SMB5944BT3G | Same electrical specs and SMB package, but not AEC−Q101 qualified; lacks automotive change control (SZ prefix). | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; excluded from automotive PPAP documentation. | Select when AEC−Q101 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification requirements. |
| BZX84-C62LT1G | Lower power (350 mW), SOT-23 package; Zener voltage 62 V ±5%, but higher ZZT (up to 120 Ω) and no AEC−Q101 rating. | Suitable for low-current biasing, not for 3 W clamping or automotive environments. | Choose only for space-constrained, low-power applications where thermal margin and automotive qualification are not required. |
Compared with SZ1SMB5944BT3G, 1SMB5944BT3G offers identical regulation performance but lacks automotive traceability and PPAP support, while BZX84-C62LT1G trades power handling and ruggedness for footprint reduction - making SZ1SMB5944BT3G the sole choice for AEC−Q101-compliant 3 W Zener regulation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for SZ1SMB5944BT3G?
The SZ1SMB5944BT3G has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a nominal value of 62 V and a guaranteed range of 58.9 V to 65.1 V at IZT = 6 mA and TL = 30°C. This tolerance is explicitly defined in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet, and applies to all devices marked SZ1SMB5944BT3G.
Is SZ1SMB5944BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SZ1SMB5944BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, as confirmed in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. The "SZ" prefix denotes automotive-grade manufacturing controls, site-specific change management, and full qualification testing - distinguishing it from the commercial-grade 1SMB5944BT3G variant.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZ1SMB5944BT3G at 75°C lead temperature?
The maximum steady-state power dissipation for SZ1SMB5944BT3G is 3.0 W at TL = 75°C, with a derating factor of 25 mW/°C above that temperature. This value is specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the datasheet and reflects the device's ability to sustain regulation under thermally demanding conditions when properly mounted.
Does SZ1SMB5944BT3G have ESD protection, and what level is specified?
SZ1SMB5944BT3G features an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model (HBM), as stated in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet. This high-level ESD immunity is built into the device structure and does not require external protection components in typical board-level handling or operation.
What is the cathode marking convention for SZ1SMB5944BT3G?
The cathode of SZ1SMB5944BT3G is indicated by a polarity band on the SMB package body, as shown in the Mechanical Case Outline diagram on page 6 of the datasheet. This band aligns with the cathode terminal and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node during PCB layout to ensure correct reverse-bias operation.
