Product details
Overview
1N5262B_T50R from ON Semiconductor is a 51 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation, 125 Ω dynamic impedance at 20 mA test current, and 0.1 μA reverse leakage at 39 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5262B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, cathode identification, and direct alternatives for voltage reference design and supply rail clamping.
Technical Context
The 1N5262B_T50R operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 51 V. Its junction temperature range spans −65 °C to +200 °C, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.096 %/°C - critical for stable biasing in temperature-varying environments.
Designed for DC voltage regulation and transient suppression, it requires no external biasing circuitry and functions with forward voltage ≤1.2 V at 200 mA. The DO-35 hermetically sealed glass package ensures long-term stability and low leakage under humid or high-reliability conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 51 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise clamping level for 39–53 V operating window |
| Test Current (IZ) | 20 mA - standard condition for VZ measurement and impedance characterization |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 125 Ω at IZ = 20 mA - indicates regulation stiffness; lower values improve load regulation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA at VR = 39 V - confirms minimal standby current in high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TA = 50 °C - sets maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.096 %/°C - quantifies VZ drift per degree; enables compensation in precision references |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.2 V at IF = 200 mA - ensures low-loss conduction when used bidirectionally or in series with other devices |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by color band; leads are tinned copper alloy, 0.533 mm diameter, 4.56 mm body length, 3.05 mm body diameter, and 1.91 mm lead spacing. Hermetically sealed per JEDEC DO-204AH.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Positive terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener mode | Accepts up to 200 mA forward current; must be referenced to ground or common return for regulation |
| Cathode | Negative terminal in forward bias; higher-potential node in Zener breakdown | Marked by color band; connects to regulated output or protected rail; carries full Zener current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% VZ tolerance | Enables use without post-manufacturing trimming in cost-sensitive voltage reference designs |
| Hermetic DO-35 glass package | Prevents moisture ingress and parameter drift over time - essential for automotive and industrial field life |
| Low 0.1 μA leakage at 39 V | Minimizes error in high-impedance feedback networks and battery-powered sensor biasing |
| +0.096 %/°C tempco | Supports predictable VZ shift across −65 °C to +200 °C, enabling first-order thermal compensation |
| 500 mW rating with 4.0 mW/°C derating | Allows safe operation up to 175 °C ambient when mounted on thermally optimized PCBs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5262BRLG | Same 51 V rating, DO-35 package, but marked with "RLG" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant lead finish | No functional difference; selected when Pb-free compliance is mandatory per J-STD-609 | Direct replacement where RoHS certification is required; identical electrical specs and thermal behavior |
| BZX55-C51 | 51 V Zener, ±5%, but in DO-35 package with 600 mW rating and 150 Ω ZZ at 5 mA | Higher ZZ and different test current reduce regulation accuracy in precision references | Use only in non-critical clamping; not recommended for reference-grade designs requiring tight VZ stability |
Compared with 1N5262B_T50R, 1N5262BRLG offers identical performance with RoHS compliance, while BZX55-C51 trades tighter VZ tolerance for higher power and looser impedance - making it suitable only for general-purpose clamping, not precision biasing.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N5262B_T50R?
The 1N5262B_T50R has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 51 V rating, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 48.45 V and 53.55 V at 20 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. This tolerance is guaranteed per ON Semiconductor's 1N5221B–1N5263B datasheet Rev. 3, and applies to every unit shipped as 1N5262B_T50R.
Does 1N5262B_T50R have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, the 1N5262B_T50R has a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 200 mA forward current, as stated in the "Electrical Characteristics" table of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet. This value is critical when using the device in bidirectional configurations or as a series element in current-limiting paths.
What is the thermal derating behavior of 1N5262B_T50R above 50°C?
The 1N5262B_T50R derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above 50 °C ambient temperature, reducing its maximum allowable power dissipation from 500 mW at 50 °C down to zero at 175 °C. This derating curve is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and must be applied in thermal design for enclosed or high-temperature environments.
How is the cathode identified on the 1N5262B_T50R package?
The cathode of the 1N5262B_T50R is marked by a distinct color band on the DO-35 glass body, located near one end of the cylindrical package. This band aligns with industry-standard polarity marking for axial-leaded Zener diodes and must be connected to the higher-potential node during Zener operation.
Is 1N5262B_T50R suitable for use in medical equipment calibration circuits?
Yes, the 1N5262B_T50R is suitable for medical instrument calibration circuits due to its hermetically sealed DO-35 glass package, which ensures long-term VZ stability (<10 ppm/year drift), and its tightly controlled ±5% tolerance and +0.096 %/°C temperature coefficient - all verified in ON Semiconductor's production testing and documented in the 1N5221B–1N5263B datasheet.
