SMBG5932A/TR13

Single Zener Diodes Overview

The SMBG5932A/TR13 is a Zener voltage regulator diode manufactured by Microsemi Corporation. It belongs to the SMBG series of surface mount devices, utilizing the DO-215AA package with a gull-wing design for visible solder connections. This component provides voltage regulation capabilities within the SMBJ5913 through SMBJ5956 series range, offering selectable voltages from 3.3 to 200 volts with various tolerance options identified by suffix letters. The device features a power rating of 2.0 watts, which exceeds the 1.5-watt rating of the equivalent JEDEC registered axial 1N5913–1N5956 series. This higher power handling is enabled by the lower thermal resistance inherent to the surface mount packaging technology.

Single Zener Diodes Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction in DO-215AA package with gull-wing leads for visible solder joint inspection
• 2.0 watt power rating providing enhanced thermal performance compared to standard 1.5 watt axial equivalents
• Voltage regulation availability across a wide selection from 3.3 to 200 volts
• Equivalent electrical characteristics to JEDEC registered 1N5913 through 1N5956 series

Single Zener Diodes Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring surface mount assembly
• Applications necessitating visible solder connection verification
• Circuits replacing axial leaded 1N59xx series components with higher power density requirements

Single Zener Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Microsemi documentation to confirm exact voltage and tolerance specifications, as these are determined by suffix codes not fully detailed in general summaries. Ensure the procurement matches the required RoHS compliance status and packaging format (reel or cut tape) specified in the manufacturer's ordering information. Cross-reference the DO-215AA footprint requirements during the design phase to ensure compatibility with the intended printed circuit board layout.

Single Zener Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.0 watt Zener diode is required in a surface mount configuration that allows for visual inspection of solder joints. It serves as a direct electrical replacement for the 1.5 watt axial 1N59xx series where increased power dissipation capability is beneficial. Consider the DO-215AA package dimensions and gull-wing lead geometry for PCB layout constraints. Verify the specific voltage and tolerance requirements against the available suffix options in the official datasheet before finalizing the design.

Single Zener Diodes Part Context

This component is part of the SMBG series of silicon Zener diodes produced by Microsemi. The series offers surface mount alternatives to traditional axial-leaded JEDEC registered parts. The SMBG designation specifically indicates the gull-wing variant in the DO-215AA package, distinguishing it from the J-bend SMBJ variant in the DO-214AA package. Both variants share identical electrical characteristics but differ in mechanical mounting style and thermal properties.

Single Zener Diodes Replacement Considerations

The SMBG5932A/TR13 is electrically equivalent to the JEDEC registered 1N5932 series axial diodes, with the primary difference being the increased 2.0 W power rating and surface mount package. Designers replacing axial parts should account for the different physical footprint and thermal resistance characteristics of the DO-215AA package.
