Product details
Overview
SZ1SMB5956BT3G from onsemi is a 3 W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 200 V, ±5% tolerance, 1.9 mA test current (IZT), and maximum zener impedance of 8000 Ω at IZK = 1200 mA - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies and industrial control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SZ1SMB5956BT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 200 V nominal breakdown, 3 W steady-state power rating at TL = 75°C, 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 bias above its specified zener voltage (VZ = 190–210 V) while maintaining stable clamping under controlled current conditions. Its thermal resistance from junction-to-lead is 40 °C/W, enabling reliable power dissipation when mounted on thermally optimized PCBs.
The SZ1SMB5956BT3G features Class 3 ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), UL 94 V−0 flammability rating, and Pb−free construction compliant with RoHS. It is rated for operation from −65 °C to +150 °C and supports both top-side and bottom-side board mounting due to its flat handling surface and modified L-bend leads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 190–210 V (±5% tolerance; regulates at 200 V nominal under 1.9 mA test current) |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 3.0 W @ TL = 75°C (derates linearly above 75°C at 25 mW/°C; requires heatsinking or thermal pad design) |
| Zener Impedance (ZZK) | 8000 Ω max @ IZK = 1200 mA (indicates high dynamic impedance typical for high-voltage Zeners; impacts regulation accuracy under transient load) |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 μA max @ VR = 152 V (ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance clamp circuits) |
| Thermal Resistance (RJL) | 40 °C/W (junction-to-lead; defines thermal path efficiency when soldered to copper pour or thermal pad) |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) (supports robust handling in automated manufacturing without additional ESD safeguards) |
| Operating Temperature | −65 °C to +150 °C (enables deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor power systems) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1SMB5956BT3G | Same electrical specs and SMB package; lacks AEC−Q101 qualification and SZ-prefix automotive traceability | Approved for commercial/industrial use only; not suitable for automotive PPAP submissions | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher |
| BZX85C200 | Through-hole DO-41 package; 1.5 W rating; 200 V ±5%; higher ZZK (10 kΩ) and lower IZM (125 mA) | Requires manual or wave-solder assembly; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs or prototyping where thermal mass compensates for lower power rating |

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of SZ1SMB5956BT3G?
The SZ1SMB5956BT3G has a nominal zener voltage of 200 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 190 V and 210 V when measured at IZT = 1.9 mA and TL = 30°C. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits using the SZ1SMB5956BT3G.
Is SZ1SMB5956BT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SZ1SMB5956BT3G is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, with the "SZ" prefix indicating compliance for automotive and other applications requiring unique site and control change requirements. This makes the SZ1SMB5956BT3G suitable for use in engine control units, battery management systems, and ADAS modules where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What is the maximum power dissipation of SZ1SMB5956BT3G and how does it derate with temperature?
The SZ1SMB5956BT3G delivers 3.0 W maximum steady-state power dissipation at TL = 75°C, derating linearly at 25 mW/°C above that temperature. At TA = 25°C, its power rating drops to 550 mW due to higher junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (226 °C/W). Effective thermal design - such as copper pour under the SMB pad - is essential to sustain full 3 W operation using the SZ1SMB5956BT3G.
What package type and mounting configuration does SZ1SMB5956BT3G use?
The SZ1SMB5956BT3G uses the SMB (Case 403A) surface-mount plastic package with a cathode polarity band, modified L-bend leads, and flat handling surface. It supports both top-side and bottom-side PCB mounting, and its dimensions (3.56 mm × 4.32 mm × 1.02 mm) match industry-standard SMB footprints - ensuring compatibility with automated SMT assembly lines when deploying the SZ1SMB5956BT3G.
How does the ESD rating of SZ1SMB5956BT3G impact manufacturing handling?
The SZ1SMB5956BT3G carries an ESD rating of Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model, allowing safe handling in standard factory environments without requiring special ESD workstations or packaging. This robustness reduces process risk during pick-and-place, reflow, and post-solder inspection - a key advantage when scaling production of systems relying on the SZ1SMB5956BT3G for voltage regulation.
