Product details
Overview
1N5244B_T50A from ON Semiconductor is a 14 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW 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 exhibits 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 11.2 V, and a temperature coefficient of +0.080 %/°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5244B_T50A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal stability, low leakage at rated VR, DO-35 mechanical compatibility, and junction temperature derating above 50°C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference where reverse-biased breakdown provides stable DC voltage regulation. Its Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with thermal equilibrium maintained at TL = 30°C ± 1°C and 3/8″ lead length, ensuring traceable metrological conditions.
The DO-35 hermetically sealed glass package enables reliable operation across -65°C to +200°C junction and storage temperature ranges, while the 4.0 mW/°C power derating above 50°C supports thermal design in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 14.0 V nominal, min 13.3 V / max 14.7 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard test conditions |
| Tolerance | ±5% - ensures voltage accuracy within 0.7 V band for calibration-critical references |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal shutdown risk |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 15 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and AC ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA at VR = 11.2 V - indicates low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | +0.080 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for ambient temperature compensation design |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.2 V at IF = 200 mA - defines conduction threshold when used in polarity-sensitive clamping |

Applications
| Voltage Reference for ADC/DAC | Power Supply Feedback Loop |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 14 V reference to 12-bit SAR ADC reference input in battery-powered sensor node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference establishing precise full-scale input range for analog-to-digital conversion. Use Value: Enables <1 LSB integral nonlinearity error by maintaining <0.7 V total variation across operating temperature and supply range. | Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in isolated flyback converter using TL431 secondary-side feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener clamp protecting TL431 cathode from transient overvoltage during startup or fault conditions. Use Value: Prevents TL431 latch-up by limiting cathode voltage to ≤14.7 V, preserving loop stability and safety margin. |
| Overvoltage Protection Clamp | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |

Use Value: Triggers reset assertion at 13.3 V (–5%) to ensure core voltage remains within spec before release. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | 12 V nominal, 1 Ω ZZ, 5% tolerance, DO-41 package | Lower voltage, lower impedance, larger package footprint | Select when tighter regulation at higher current is required and board space permits DO-41 |
| BZX55C15 | 15 V nominal, 30 Ω ZZ, 5% tolerance, DO-35 package | Higher voltage, higher impedance, same DO-35 form factor | Choose for 15 V systems where 1 V margin suffices and existing DO-35 layout must be retained |
Compared with 1N5244B_T50A, 1N4742A offers superior regulation at 20 mA but requires PCB rework for DO-41; BZX55C15 maintains DO-35 compatibility but trades 1 V higher nominal voltage and reduced regulation stiffness for identical mounting.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N5244B_T50A?
The 1N5244B_T50A has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 13.3 V and 14.7 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and thermal equilibrium conditions. This tolerance reflects manufacturing consistency for cost-effective voltage referencing without post-assembly calibration.
Can the 1N5244B_T50A be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N5244B_T50A uses a DO-35 axial glass package with leads intended for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with SMT reflow or pick-and-place processes. For surface-mount equivalents, consider ON Semiconductor's MMBZ5244B or similar SOD-123 packaged Zeners.
What is the maximum junction temperature for the 1N5244B_T50A?
The 1N5244B_T50A has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +200°C. Its power dissipation must be derated by 4.0 mW/°C above 50°C ambient, limiting usable power to 400 mW at 75°C ambient to maintain reliability within this junction limit.
How does the temperature coefficient affect the 1N5244B_T50A in precision circuits?
The 1N5244B_T50A has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.080 %/°C, causing its Zener voltage to increase by approximately 11.2 mV per °C rise. In precision references, this drift must be compensated via circuit topology (e.g., complementary TC components) or limited to narrow ambient ranges to hold total error within specification.
Is the 1N5244B_T50A RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N5244B_T50A meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements as confirmed by ON Semiconductor's material declarations. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and complies with EU REACH SVHC thresholds.
