Product details
Overview
1N5248B_S00Z from ON Semiconductor is a 5% tolerance, 18 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 7.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 10 mA test current and 0.1 μA maximum reverse leakage at 14.4 V. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5248B_S00Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a standard 18 V Zener reference in linear regulators, sensor biasing, and voltage clamp designs where stable breakdown voltage and low temperature coefficient (0.085 %/°C) are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 18 V reference across its terminals. Its 7.0 Ω Zener impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation under load variations up to 10 mA, while the 0.085 %/°C temperature coefficient limits drift over -65°C to +200°C operating junction range.
The DO-35 hermetically sealed glass package supports reliable operation in high-reliability environments. With 0.25 V forward voltage max at 200 mA and 0.1 μA IR at VR = 14.4 V, it delivers tight leakage control and predictable turn-on behavior in bidirectional protection and precision clamping topologies.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4746A | 18 V nominal, 1 W rating, 25 Ω ZZ, DO-41 package | Higher power handling but larger footprint and higher impedance | Select when >500 mW surge capability is required and board space permits DO-41 |
| BZX55C18 | 18 V nominal, 500 mW, 20 Ω ZZ, DO-35, ±5% tolerance | Higher ZZ and wider temp coefficient (±0.1 %/°C) | Acceptable for non-critical references where 20 Ω impedance and looser TC are tolerable |
Compared with 1N4746A and BZX55C18, the 1N5248B_S00Z offers the lowest Zener impedance (7.0 Ω) and tightest temperature coefficient (0.085 %/°C) in the DO-35 form factor, making it optimal for precision analog references where stability and low noise are prioritized over surge power.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the 1N5248B_S00Z?
The 1N5248B_S00Z has a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V, with a guaranteed range of 17.1 V to 18.9 V at 10 mA test current and ±5% tolerance. This specification is measured under thermal equilibrium conditions at lead temperature 30°C ±1°C with 3/8" lead length, per ON Semiconductor's electrical characterization methodology.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N5248B_S00Z?
The 1N5248B_S00Z has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at ambient temperature 25°C. Power must be derated by 4.0 mW/°C above 50°C ambient, limiting usable dissipation to 400 mW at 75°C ambient. This rating assumes free-air convection and applies to the DO-35 glass package.
Does the 1N5248B_S00Z have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, the 1N5248B_S00Z specifies a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at forward current 200 mA. This value characterizes anode-to-cathode conduction behavior and is relevant for polarity-checking, ESD protection paths, and dual-use as a rectifier in low-current signal paths.
What is the temperature coefficient of the 1N5248B_S00Z?
The 1N5248B_S00Z has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.085 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 15.3 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. This value is typical and applies across the -65°C to +200°C operating junction temperature range.
Is the 1N5248B_S00Z available in tape-and-reel packaging?
Yes, the 1N5248B_S00Z is offered in tape-and-reel format per JEDEC standard J-STD-020, with 10,000 units per reel. Reel packaging supports automated SMT placement when used with axial-to-SMT adapters or manual assembly in prototyping workflows.
