Product details
Overview
1N5240B_S00Z from ON Semiconductor is a 10 V ±5% tolerance, 500 mW DO-35 glass-encapsulated Zener diode optimized for voltage regulation and reference applications in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection. It delivers 17 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, -65°C to +200°C operating junction temperature range, and 3.0 μA maximum reverse leakage at 7.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5240B_S00Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal stability (TC = +0.075 %/°C), low leakage at sub-Zener voltages, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable DC voltage across its terminals under varying load and line conditions. Its DO-35 hermetically sealed glass package ensures long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance, critical for industrial and automotive environments where thermal cycling and humidity exposure occur.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (+0.075 %/°C) above 5 V, enabling predictable voltage drift with temperature-essential for precision biasing and reference generation. Its 20 mA nominal test current and 17 Ω dynamic impedance support tight regulation in low-current shunt regulator topologies without requiring active compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.5 V min / 10 V typ / 10.5 V max @ IZ = 20 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 17 Ω @ IZ = 20 mA - determines regulation sensitivity to load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 3.0 μA max @ VR = 7.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or undervoltage states |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +0.075 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise, enabling thermal error budgeting |
| Package | DO-35 glass case with cathode band - provides industry-standard through-hole mounting and visual polarity identification |
| Operating Junction Temp | -65°C to +200°C - supports operation in extreme ambient environments without parameter shift or failure |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial-leaded package: hermetically sealed, 0.533 mm diameter body, 4.56 mm length, cathode identified by color band. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, suitable for wave or hand soldering at ≤230°C for 10 s.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; forms return path for Zener current |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to higher-potential side; supplies stable voltage to load when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 10 V nominal, 1 W power rating, 17 Ω ZZ, DO-41 package | Higher power dissipation enables use in higher-current shunt regulators; larger DO-41 footprint requires PCB redesign | Select when >500 mW regulation power is required and board space permits larger package |
| BZX55C10 | 10 V nominal, 500 mW, 20 Ω ZZ, DO-35, ±5% tolerance, TC = +0.07 %/°C | Near-identical electrical specs but manufactured by Vishay; same DO-35 footprint and marking convention | Drop-in alternative with identical thermal and electrical behavior-validated for cross-qualification in high-reliability programs |
Compared with 1N5240B_S00Z, 1N4740A offers double the power rating but requires layout change, while BZX55C10 matches all key parameters and mechanical form factor-making it the preferred direct replacement where second-source qualification is mandated.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5240B_S00Z?
The 1N5240B_S00Z has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, specified as 9.5 V minimum, 10 V typical, and 10.5 V maximum at 20 mA test current. This tolerance band is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and supports robust design margining without requiring post-production calibration.
Does the 1N5240B_S00Z have a positive or negative temperature coefficient?
The 1N5240B_S00Z exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.075 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising junction temperature. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and enables accurate thermal error modeling in precision reference circuits.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5240B_S00Z?
The 1N5240B_S00Z specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 3.0 μA at 7.6 V (0.76 × VZ). This value is measured per the ON Semiconductor datasheet and ensures minimal standby power draw in battery-backed or low-power monitoring applications.
Is the 1N5240B_S00Z compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes-the 1N5240B_S00Z DO-35 package supports lead-free reflow and wave soldering with peak temperatures up to +230°C for 10 seconds, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. Its glass body and tinned leads meet JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements for MSL-1 handling.
What does the "_S00Z" suffix indicate in the 1N5240B_S00Z part number?
"_S00Z" is a Fairchild-originated marking suffix retained post-ON Semiconductor acquisition, indicating tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS-compliant finish. It does not alter electrical specifications-1N5240B_S00Z performs identically to 1N5240B in all rated conditions per the ON Semiconductor 1N5221B–1N5263B datasheet Rev. 3.
