Product details
Overview
1N5235B_S00Z from ON Semiconductor is a 6.8 V ±5% tolerance, 500 mW DO-35 glass-encapsulated Zener diode optimized for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, reference supplies, and overvoltage protection. It delivers 6.8 V nominal Zener voltage at 20 mA test current, with 5 Ω dynamic impedance and ±0.05 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5235B_S00Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this part supports stable voltage clamping in power supply feedback loops, sensor biasing networks, and microcontroller reset circuitry where tight tolerance and low leakage are critical.
Technical Context
The 1N5235B_S00Z operates as a two-terminal, reverse-biased silicon junction device that maintains a stable voltage across its terminals when conducting in breakdown. Its Zener mechanism dominates conduction above ~5 V, enabling predictable regulation with minimal dependence on current variation within its rated 0.25–20 mA operating range.
Designed for thermal stability in ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +200 °C, it features a 5.0 μA maximum reverse leakage at 5.0 V and a forward voltage of ≤1.2 V at 200 mA - confirming suitability for bidirectional clamp or dual-purpose bias applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.46–7.14 V at IZ = 20 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for voltage reference or overvoltage protection circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling without derating; supports compact PCB layouts with no heatsink required. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 5.0 Ω max at IZ = 20 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients, critical for stable feedback references. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3.0 μA max at VR = 5.0 V - guarantees low quiescent current draw in battery-powered or high-impedance sensing nodes. |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +0.05 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive analog designs without external trimming. |
| Package | DO-35 glass axial - hermetically sealed, JEDEC-compliant, 0.137 g weight; supports wave/solder reflow with 230 °C lead temp limit. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables single-part selection for cost-sensitive designs requiring guaranteed regulation within 0.34 V of nominal 6.8 V. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | 6.8 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, 10 Ω ZZ, ±5% tolerance | Higher power dissipation supports higher-current shunt loads but requires larger PCB footprint and thermal margin. | Select when >500 mW regulation power is needed; not suitable for space-constrained DO-35 footprints. |
| BZX55C6V8 | 6.8 V nominal, 500 mW, DO-35, 10 Ω ZZ, ±5% tolerance, 100 nA IR at 4.5 V | Lower leakage improves high-impedance node accuracy but higher ZZ degrades transient response in feedback paths. | Prefer for ultra-low-power sensor biasing; avoid in closed-loop regulator feedback where 5 Ω ZZ is critical. |
Compared with 1N5235B_S00Z, the 1N4734A offers higher power headroom at the cost of size and impedance, while the BZX55C6V8 trades leakage performance for reduced regulation stiffness - making 1N5235B_S00Z optimal for mid-current, precision-shunt applications demanding both low ZZ and proven thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N5235B_S00Z?
The 1N5235B_S00Z has a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 6.46 V and 7.14 V when tested at 20 mA. This tolerance is verified per ON Semiconductor's 1N5221B–1N5263B datasheet Rev. 3, and applies directly to the 1N5235B_S00Z variant as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the 1N5235B_S00Z have a specified forward voltage rating?
Yes, the 1N5235B_S00Z specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.2 V at 200 mA forward current. This value is documented in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of the ON Semiconductor datasheet and confirms usability in bidirectional clamp configurations where forward conduction may occur during negative transients.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5235B_S00Z, and at what voltage is it measured?
The 1N5235B_S00Z exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 3.0 μA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 5.0 V. This parameter is explicitly listed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table for the 1N5235B entry and reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown bias conditions.
Is the 1N5235B_S00Z packaged in a DO-35 case, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
Yes, the 1N5235B_S00Z uses the DO-35 glass axial package per JEDEC DO-204AH. Key dimensions include overall length ≥4.56 mm, body diameter 1.91 mm, lead diameter 0.46 mm, and weight 0.137 g - all confirmed in the "Package Outline Drawing" section of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet.
What is the temperature coefficient of the 1N5235B_S00Z, and how does it affect regulation stability?
The 1N5235B_S00Z has a temperature coefficient of +0.05 %/°C, indicating its Zener voltage increases by approximately 3.4 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. This low, positive TC enables predictable drift behavior in ambient temperature ranges from –65 °C to +200 °C, supporting stable operation in unregulated thermal environments without active compensation.
