Product details
Overview
1N5247B_T50R from ON Semiconductor is a 17 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 19 Ω dynamic impedance at 12 mA test current and a temperature coefficient of +0.084 %/°C.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5247B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 17 V nominal Zener voltage, 500 mW power rating, DO-35 hermetic glass package, 19 Ω Zener impedance, and +0.084 %/°C temperature coefficient - all critical for stable voltage reference design in industrial and consumer power management systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable DC voltage across its terminals when biased above VZ. Its DO-35 glass package ensures hermetic sealing and thermal stability up to +200°C junction temperature.
The 1N5247B_T50R is characterized at IZ = 12 mA with VZ = 16.15–17.85 V (min–max), ZZ = 19 Ω, and IR ≤ 0.1 μA at VR = 13.6 V, supporting low-leakage, high-stability biasing in precision analog signal chains and regulator error amplifiers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 16.15–17.85 V at IZ = 12 mA - defines regulated output voltage range under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 25°C - maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 19 Ω at IZ = 12 mA - low dynamic resistance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +0.084 %/°C - positive drift rate enables predictable VZ shift over temperature for compensation-aware designs |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 0.1 μA at VR = 13.6 V - ultra-low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Package | DO-35 glass axial - hermetically sealed, JEDEC-standard package with cathode band marking and 0.137 g mass |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package: hermetically sealed, 2.0 mm diameter body, 4.56 mm length, cathode indicated 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 / Reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path during Zener operation |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / Regulated output node | Connected to input supply via current-limiting resistor; delivers stable 17 V reference voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Tight initial accuracy enables single-diode reference use without trimming in cost-sensitive applications |
| Hermetic DO-35 glass package | Ensures long-term parameter stability and moisture resistance in harsh environments (e.g., industrial controls) |
| Low 19 Ω Zener impedance | Minimizes output voltage deviation under varying load currents, improving regulation in feedback networks |
| +0.084 %/°C temperature coefficient | Predictable positive drift allows straightforward thermal compensation in precision references |
| 0.1 μA max reverse leakage at 13.6 V | Preserves high-impedance node integrity in battery-powered or low-power sensor interfaces |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4746A | 18 V nominal, 1.0 W power rating, DO-41 package, ±5% tolerance, ZZ = 14 Ω at 12 mA | Higher power handling supports higher current reference designs; larger DO-41 footprint requires PCB layout change | Select when >500 mW dissipation or lower ZZ is required; not drop-in due to package and voltage mismatch |
| BZX55-C16 | 16 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW, DO-35 package, ZZ = 25 Ω at 5 mA, TC = +0.06 %/°C | Lower nominal voltage and higher ZZ reduce regulation accuracy in high-precision feedback paths | Acceptable where 16 V suffices and tighter TC is less critical; same DO-35 footprint enables mechanical compatibility |
Compared with 1N4746A and BZX55-C16, the 1N5247B_T50R offers optimal balance of 17 V targeting, DO-35 form factor, and 19 Ω impedance for space-constrained, low-power reference designs - making it preferred for legacy board refreshes and compact industrial modules where voltage granularity matters.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the 1N5247B_T50R?
The 1N5247B_T50R has a nominal Zener voltage of 17 V, with a guaranteed range of 16.15 V to 17.85 V at a test current of 12 mA. This value is specified per ON Semiconductor's 1N5221B–1N5263B Rev. 3 datasheet and reflects the device's core function as a precision voltage reference diode.
What package type does the 1N5247B_T50R use?
The 1N5247B_T50R uses the DO-35 glass axial package - a hermetically sealed, JEDEC-standard case with cathode band marking, 2.0 mm body diameter, and 4.56 mm length. Its construction ensures long-term stability and moisture resistance, as confirmed in the official ON Semiconductor package drawing DO35AREV03.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the 1N5247B_T50R?
The 1N5247B_T50R has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at ambient temperature (TA) of 25°C. It derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above 50°C, meaning usable power drops to 400 mW at 75°C ambient - a critical constraint for thermal design in enclosed or high-temperature environments.
Does the 1N5247B_T50R have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, the 1N5247B_T50R has a temperature coefficient of +0.084 %/°C, indicating its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising junction temperature. This value is measured and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of the ON Semiconductor datasheet, enabling accurate thermal compensation in precision reference circuits.
What is the Zener impedance (ZZ) of the 1N5247B_T50R at its rated test current?
The Zener impedance (ZZ) of the 1N5247B_T50R is 19 Ω at IZ = 12 mA, as specified in the ON Semiconductor 1N5221B–1N5263B datasheet. This low dynamic impedance directly determines how tightly the device regulates voltage under varying load or current conditions in practical applications.
