Product details
Overview
1N4757A_T50R from ON Semiconductor is a 51 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, rated for 1.0 W power dissipation at TL ≤ 50°C with 6.67 mW/°C derating, 90 Ω max Zener impedance at 36 mA test current, and 0.25 μA max leakage current at 38.8 V reverse voltage. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power reference and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4757A_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its 51 V nominal Zener voltage, DO-41 axial lead package compatibility, thermal derating behavior, low leakage at rated VR, and suitability for fixed-voltage clamp and biasing roles in industrial power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable voltage reference and overvoltage clamping. Its 51 V breakdown is specified at 36 mA test current (IZ), with 90 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) measured under those conditions and 5 Ω knee impedance (ZZK) at 0.25 mA (IZK).
The 1N4757A_T50R supports operation across –65°C to +200°C junction and storage temperature range, with non-repetitive peak reverse surge current of 90 mA (IZSM) at 8.3 ms pulse width, and maximum 5 μA leakage current at 38.8 V (VR = 0.76 × VZ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4757A (ON Semiconductor) | Identical electrical specs and DO-41 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (T50R denotes 500-unit reel) | No functional difference; same use cases and layout requirements | Select 1N4757A_T50R for automated SMT placement; choose bulk 1N4757A for manual prototyping or repair |
| BZX55-C51 (Vishay) | Same 51 V ±5%, DO-35 package (smaller glass body), 500 mW rating, higher ZZ (100 Ω), wider temp range (–65°C to +175°C) | Lower power handling limits use in >500 mW clamping; smaller footprint may require PCB redesign | Prefer BZX55-C51 only when space-constrained layouts or tighter thermal mass requirements exist |
Compared with 1N4757A_T50R, the base 1N4757A offers identical performance in bulk form but lacks tape-and-reel logistics for pick-and-place, while BZX55-C51 trades power capability and impedance for size reduction-making 1N4757A_T50R optimal for high-reliability 1 W reference designs requiring proven thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N4757A_T50R?
The 1N4757A_T50R has a nominal Zener voltage of 51 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 48.45 V and 53.55 V at 36 mA test current and 25°C ambient. This tolerance is guaranteed per ON Semiconductor's 1N4728A–1N4758A datasheet Rev. 8, and applies directly to the 1N4757A_T50R variant as a tape-and-reel packaged version of the base 1N4757A device.
Can 1N4757A_T50R be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N4757A_T50R uses a DO-41 glass axial-leaded package intended for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with standard SMT reflow processes due to its leaded construction and thermal mass. For surface-mount equivalents, consider SOD-123 or SOD-323 packaged Zeners like MMBZ5257B, but note that those differ in voltage rating, power rating, and impedance-so direct substitution requires validation of 1N4757A_T50R's 51 V/1 W/90 Ω specification.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for 1N4757A_T50R?
The 1N4757A_T50R supports a non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 90 mA at an 8.3 ms pulse width, as specified in the ON Semiconductor 1N4728A–1N4758A datasheet. This value reflects the device's surge-handling capability during transient overvoltage events such as inductive switching spikes or load dump pulses, and must be applied with appropriate series limiting resistance to avoid junction overheating.
How does thermal derating work for 1N4757A_T50R?
The 1N4757A_T50R is rated for 1.0 W power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 50°C; above that, it derates linearly at 6.67 mW/°C. For example, at TL = 100°C, allowable power drops to 1.0 W − (50 × 6.67 mW) = 0.6665 W. This derating applies to steady-state DC operation and assumes 3/8″ lead length per the datasheet test condition-actual board layout and copper area will affect real-world thermal performance.
Is 1N4757A_T50R RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 1N4757A_T50R meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is manufactured as a halogen-free device per ON Semiconductor's product compliance documentation. The DO-41 glass package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and all materials comply with JEDEC JS-709E standards. Full compliance data-including substance declarations and test reports-is available via ON Semiconductor's website using the 1N4757A_T50R part number.
