1SMB5937B-13 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The 1SMB5937B-13 is a single Zener diode that is designed for use in electronic circuits. It is commonly used for applications such as: voltage regulation, signal conditioning, overvoltage protection, and surge suppression.

In its most basic form, a Zener diode is an electronic semiconductor device that is used to control the voltage in a circuit. It works by allowing current to flow in one direction when the voltage reaches a certain level, and then providing a negative feedback loop to regulate the voltage in the circuit. When the voltage reaches a certain critical level, the diode begins to conduct in the opposite direction and the voltage is then able to remain at a constant level.

The 1SMB5937B-13 has a voltage breakdown of 13V, which means that it can be used to protect a circuit from high voltage surges. The diode has a maximum reverse current of 5 mA, which is important for ensuring that the diode does not become overloaded and fail. The power dissipation rating of the diode is 500 mW, which indicates that it is suitable for use in applications with large voltage fluctuations.

The 1SMB5937B-13 is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -55°C to +150°C. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including automotive and industrial electronics. The diode is also rated for a high surge current, making it ideal for protecting sensitive components from damage due to sudden voltage surges. The diode is constructed from an epoxy-filled casing, which provides superior protection against mechanical and environmental damage.

The 1SMB5937B-13 is easy to install and is intended for through-hole mounting. Due to its low profile, it is often used in applications where a small footprint is essential. It is also RoHS compliant and offers superior reliability for applications requiring long-term reliability. The diode is UL recognized and CE marked for use in Europe.

The 1SMB5937B-13 is designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications. It can be used for voltage regulation, signal conditioning, and overvoltage protection across a variety of industries. This makes it an ideal choice for engineers looking to reduce the risk of equipment and component damage due to unexpected power surges.
