Product details
Overview
1N5236B-T from Diodes Incorporated is a 7.5V ±5% tolerance, 500mW glass-encapsulated Zener diode in DO-35 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection. It delivers 6.0Ω Zener impedance at 20mA test current, 3.0µA maximum reverse leakage at 6.0V, and exhibits +0.058%/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5236B-T datasheet, 1N5236B-T pinout, 1N5236B-T application, or 1N5236B-T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, DO-35 terminal configuration, thermal derating guidance, RoHS-compliant lead finish details, and direct replacement options including MMSZ5236B.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable 7.5V output across load and line variations. Its 300°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requires lead temperature control ≤75°C (9.5mm lead length) to sustain full 500mW dissipation.
The device uses epitaxial construction for high stability and low noise, with cathode band polarity marking and Sn96.5Ag3.5 solderable terminals compliant with MIL-STD-202 Method 208. It is rated for -65°C to +175°C operating and storage temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5V nominal, 7.13–7.88V range at 20mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500mW - maximum continuous DC power handling at TL ≤75°C with 9.5mm leads |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 6.0Ω at IZT = 20mA - indicates voltage regulation stiffness against current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3.0µA max at VR = 6.0V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or sensing circuits |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | +0.058%/°C - quantifies VZ drift per degree Celsius rise above 25°C |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.1V at IF = 200mA - relevant for forward-biased protection or clamping use cases |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial package with hermetic seal, cathode band marking, and 0.13g mass. Dimensions: A ≤25.4mm, B ≤4.00mm, C ≤0.60mm, D ≤2.00mm (all mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-bias regulation; used as ground reference in shunt regulator topologies |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Marked with band; connected to higher-potential side; supplies regulated 7.5V to load when reverse biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass package | Ensures long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance in harsh environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5236B | Surface-mount SOD-123 package; same 7.5V ±5%, 500mW rating; ZZT = 6.0Ω; 3.0µA IR; +0.058%/°C TC | Replaces axial DO-35 in automated PCB assembly; requires re-layout for footprint and thermal relief | Select for new designs requiring RoHS-compliant SMT placement and reduced board space |
| 1N4734A | DO-41 package; 5.6V nominal; 1W power rating; ZZT = 5.0Ω at 45mA; different VZ and PD | Not a direct voltage match; usable only where 5.6V reference suffices and higher power margin is needed | Choose only if redesign allows 5.6V reference and thermal management for 1W dissipation |
Compared with 1N5236B-T, MMSZ5236B offers identical electrical performance in SMT form factor, while 1N4734A provides higher power but mismatched voltage - making MMSZ5236B the preferred drop-in upgrade path for legacy DO-35 layouts transitioning to SMT.

FAQ
Is 1N5236B-T still in production?
No, 1N5236B-T is officially obsolete per Diodes Incorporated's DS18006 Rev. 19 (September 2019). It has been superseded by MMSZ5236B for new designs. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for repair and continuity programs, with full traceability and date-code verification.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, consistent with the device's operating temperature range. However, sustained operation above 125°C requires derating based on RθJA = 300°C/W and strict control of lead temperature ≤75°C at 9.5mm from case to avoid exceeding 500mW power limit.
Can 1N5236B-T be used in place of 1N4734A?
No - 1N5236B-T is a 7.5V Zener, while 1N4734A is a 5.6V device with different power rating (1W vs. 500mW), package (DO-35 vs. DO-41), and Zener impedance. Substitution would cause incorrect regulation voltage and potential thermal overload in circuits designed for 5.6V reference.
Does this part meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - 1N5236B-T is not qualified to AEC-Q200. It lacks the stress testing, failure analysis, and qualification documentation required for automotive applications. For automotive-grade Zener references, consider Diodes' AZ series or ON Semiconductor's 1SMA59xx series.
