SMAZ36-13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The SMAZ36-13 is a 1.0W surface mount Zener diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for automated assembly in the SMA (DO-214AC) package. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 36V with a standard tolerance of ±5%. The device operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a maximum reverse current of 0.5µA at 27.4V. Electrical characteristics include a test current of 10mA, a maximum Zener impedance of 40Ω at the test current, and 350Ω at the knee current.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation within a specified tolerance band for circuit protection and reference applications.
• Engineered for high-volume manufacturing through compatibility with automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
• Constructed with lead-free matte tin plating terminals that ensure reliable solderability per standardized military methods.

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supply circuits
• Over-voltage protection for sensitive electronic components
• Reference voltage generation in measurement instrumentation

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration, as commercial versions are typically supplied in tape and reel quantities. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status against project specifications. Ensure the SMA package footprint aligns with the PCB layout design rules provided in the manufacturer's package outline documentation.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36V regulation point is required with a 1W power dissipation capability. Evaluate the thermal resistance values to ensure adequate heat sinking or PCB copper area is available to maintain junction temperatures within safe operating limits during continuous operation.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the SMAZ series of 1.0W surface mount Zener diodes offered by Diodes Incorporated. The series spans a wide voltage range from 5.1V to 39V, allowing designers to standardize on a single package type across various voltage regulation needs while maintaining consistent mechanical and thermal profiles.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 36V nominal Zener voltage, 1W power rating, and SMA package dimensions. Verify that alternative manufacturers provide equivalent electrical parameters, specifically the ±5% tolerance and maximum reverse leakage current, to ensure circuit performance remains unchanged.
