Product details
Overview
1N5224B_T50R from ON Semiconductor is a 2.8 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 30 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current and -0.080 %/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage reference in low-power analog circuits such as sensor biasing and voltage regulation in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5224B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal coefficient, dynamic impedance at nominal test current, maximum power rating, and DO-35 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-breakdown voltage regulation under controlled current conditions. Its junction is hermetically sealed in a DO-35 glass package with cathode band marking, supporting operation from -65°C to +200°C junction temperature.
It exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 2.8 V at 20 mA (IZ), with 5% tolerance, 30 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ), and a negative temperature coefficient of -0.080 %/°C - indicating decreasing VZ with rising temperature, typical for low-voltage Zeners below ~5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.8 V ±5% at IZ = 20 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level for low-voltage analog circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 30 Ω at IZ = 20 mA - determines output voltage stability under small-signal load variations |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | -0.080 %/°C - quantifies VZ drift per degree Celsius, critical for temperature-sensitive references |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 75 μA max at VR = 1.0 V - specifies off-state current that affects quiescent power in high-impedance bias networks |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at IF = 200 mA - defines conduction threshold when used in forward-biased protection or logic-level detection |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode indicated by color band; leads are tinned copper alloy, compatible with standard through-hole reflow or hand-soldering (lead temp ≤ +230°C for 10 s).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; establishes reference polarity for reverse-bias operation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage clamp output | Connected to regulated node; delivers stable 2.8 V when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4728A | 3.3 V nominal VZ, 1 W PD, DO-41 package, +0.055 %/°C TC | Higher power and voltage; less suitable for ultra-low-power 2.8 V systems | Select when higher power margin or positive TC behavior is required |
| BZX55C2V7 | 2.7 V nominal VZ, ±5% tolerance, DO-35, 500 mW, -0.075 %/°C TC | 0.1 V lower VZ; tighter ZZK spec but identical package and thermal performance | Choose for marginally lower reference voltage where 0.1 V shift is acceptable |
Compared with 1N5224B_T50R, 1N4728A offers higher power and different TC polarity but requires layout change due to DO-41 size; BZX55C2V7 matches DO-35 form factor and thermal behavior but shifts reference by 0.1 V, affecting ADC full-scale calibration.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5224B_T50R?
The 1N5224B_T50R has a nominal zener voltage of 2.8 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 20 mA test current and 25°C ambient temperature. This specification ensures predictable clamping behavior in low-voltage reference designs and is verified per ON Semiconductor's 1N5221B–1N5263B datasheet Rev. 3.
What package type does the 1N5224B_T50R use and what are its key mechanical features?
The 1N5224B_T50R uses the DO-35 glass axial package with a cathode band marking, compliant with JEDEC DO-204AH. Key features include hermetic glass sealing, 0.137 g mass, 4.56 mm body length, and tinned copper alloy leads rated for +230°C for 10 seconds during soldering - all confirmed in the official ON Semiconductor package drawing DO35AREV03.
How does the temperature coefficient of the 1N5224B_T50R affect its performance in varying ambient conditions?
With a temperature coefficient of -0.080 %/°C, the 1N5224B_T50R exhibits a decrease in zener voltage as temperature rises - approximately -2.24 mV/°C around 2.8 V. This behavior must be accounted for in precision reference designs operating across wide temperature ranges, especially in automotive or industrial settings where ambient can span -40°C to +125°C.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the 1N5224B_T50R and how does it derate with temperature?
The 1N5224B_T50R is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C above 50°C. At 100°C ambient, its usable power drops to 300 mW. This derating curve is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the ON Semiconductor 1N5221B–1N5263B datasheet and must be applied in thermal design calculations.
Can the 1N5224B_T50R be used in forward-bias applications, and what is its forward voltage specification?
Yes, the 1N5224B_T50R can operate in forward bias with a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 200 mA forward current. This characteristic supports dual-use cases such as polarity protection or logic-level detection, though its primary design intent remains reverse-bias zener regulation as documented in the Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet.
