Product details
Overview
SZ1SMB5949BT3G from onsemi is a 3 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 100 V, ±5% tolerance, 3.7 mA test current (IZT), and 3100 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies and automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMB5949BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability under thermal drift, surge power handling up to 100 W (tp = 1 ms), AEC−Q101 qualification for automotive use, and SMB package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown when reverse bias exceeds its 100 V nominal zener voltage. Its 3100 Ω dynamic impedance at 3.7 mA ensures predictable regulation under light-load conditions.
Thermal derating begins at 75°C junction temperature, with 40 mW/°C reduction above that point; total thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 25 °C/W, enabling effective heat transfer to PCB copper when mounted per recommended footprint on FR-4 board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 95 V min / 100 V nom / 105 V max - defines regulated output voltage range under IZT = 3.7 mA |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0 W @ TL = 75°C - maximum steady-state power at lead temperature, derates linearly above 75°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 3100 Ω max @ IZT = 3.7 mA - limits voltage variation under small-signal AC load changes |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 76 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Power (PPK) | 100 W peak @ tp = 1 ms - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - withstands electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
| AEC−Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (Case 403A), surface-mount plastic package with modified L-bend leads, cathode indicated by polarity band, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, Pb-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connects to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current up to 200 mA |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal | Connects to higher-potential node; defines regulated voltage reference point at 100 V nominal |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5267ET1G | 500 mW rating, 100 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 170 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Lower power handling; suited for signal-level clamping, not power rail regulation | Select when board space is constrained and surge energy is <1 J |
| BZX84-C100LT1G | 350 mW rating, 100 V nominal, SOT-23 package, 500 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA | Smaller footprint but limited to 100 mA IZM; no AEC−Q101 qualification | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where automotive qualification is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for SZ1SMB5949BT3G at 25°C ambient?
SZ1SMB5949BT3G is rated for 550 mW at TA = 25°C, with linear derating of 4.4 mW/°C above that temperature. This value assumes proper PCB copper area per the recommended footprint on FR-4 board; actual dissipation depends on thermal design and airflow. The 3.0 W rating applies only at TL = 75°C with heatsinking via leads.
Is SZ1SMB5949BT3G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SZ1SMB5949BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with testing covering temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and high-temperature reverse bias. Its SZ prefix confirms automotive-specific site and change control requirements, making it appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What is the zener voltage tolerance and test condition for SZ1SMB5949BT3G?
SZ1SMB5949BT3G has a ±5% zener voltage tolerance, specified as 95 V (min), 100 V (nom), and 105 V (max) measured at IZT = 3.7 mA and TL = 30°C. This tolerance reflects manufacturing variation and does not include temperature coefficient effects, which are negligible above 12 V.
How does the dynamic impedance of SZ1SMB5949BT3G affect regulation accuracy?
SZ1SMB5949BT3G exhibits 3100 Ω maximum dynamic impedance at IZT = 3.7 mA, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current causes up to ~3.1 V shift in output voltage. For tight regulation, maintain IZ > 5 mA or pair with a buffer amplifier; this impedance value is typical for high-voltage Zeners and acceptable in clamping applications.
What is the maximum surge power rating for SZ1SMB5949BT3G and under what waveform?
SZ1SMB5949BT3G supports 100 W peak surge power for 1 ms rectangular nonrepetitive pulses at TJ = 25°C prior to initial pulse. This rating aligns with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surge immunity requirements and enables reliable operation during load-dump transients in 12 V automotive systems.
