Product details
Overview
1N5243B_S00Z from ON Semiconductor is a 13 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW glass-passivated 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 13.65 V maximum Zener voltage at 9.5 mA test current with 13 Ω dynamic impedance and 0.5 μA reverse leakage at 10.4 V.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5243B_S00Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 13 V nominal Zener voltage, DO-35 axial glass package compatibility with through-hole assembly, 500 mW power rating, low 13 Ω Zener impedance, and ±0.079 %/°C temperature coefficient - critical for stable reference performance across industrial temperature ranges.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using controlled avalanche and Zener breakdown mechanisms. Its 13 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 9.5 mA, with guaranteed min/max limits of 12.35 V and 13.65 V. The 13 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) ensures tight regulation under varying load conditions.
Thermal design is supported by a -65 °C to +200 °C operating junction temperature range and 4.0 mW/°C derating above 50 °C ambient. The DO-35 hermetically sealed glass package provides reliable long-term stability and moisture resistance for industrial-grade applications.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the 1N5243B_S00Z?
The 1N5243B_S00Z has a nominal Zener voltage of 13 V, with a guaranteed range of 12.35 V to 13.65 V at 9.5 mA test current. This value is measured under thermal equilibrium conditions at lead temperature 30°C ±1°C, per ON Semiconductor's electrical characterization methodology. The 1N5243B_S00Z is rated for ±5% tolerance, consistent with industry-standard Zener diode specifications.
What package type does the 1N5243B_S00Z use?
The 1N5243B_S00Z uses the DO-35 glass axial package, defined by JEDEC DO-204AH. It features a hermetically sealed glass body, cathode band marking, 4.56 mm body length, and 1.91 mm maximum diameter. This package supports through-hole mounting and provides long-term parametric stability under industrial environmental stress conditions.
What is the Zener impedance of the 1N5243B_S00Z and why does it matter?
The 1N5243B_S00Z has a Zener impedance (ZZ) of 13 Ω at 9.5 mA test current. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation when load current changes - critical for maintaining regulation accuracy in feedback loops and reference circuits. For example, a 1 mA current shift causes only ~13 mV deviation, directly supporting stable performance in precision analog designs.
Does the 1N5243B_S00Z have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, the 1N5243B_S00Z has a temperature coefficient of +0.079 %/°C. This positive coefficient indicates that its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising temperature, enabling accurate thermal drift modeling in reference string designs. The coefficient is measured across the full -65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature range and supports stable operation in extended industrial environments.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the 1N5243B_S00Z?
The 1N5243B_S00Z specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.5 μA at 10.4 V (90% of nominal Zener voltage). This ultra-low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-powered and high-impedance reference circuits, minimizing parasitic current paths that could degrade accuracy or reduce standby time in portable electronics.
