Product details
Overview
1N5992B_T50R from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 4.7 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL ≤ 75°C, with 70 Ω zener impedance at 5 mA test current and 3 mA maximum leakage current at 1.5 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog regulators and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N5992B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 4.7 V nominal zener voltage, tight 5% tolerance, DO-35 thermal derating profile (4.0 mW/°C above 75°C), and verified performance across -65°C to +200°C operating range.
Technical Context
The 1N5992B_T50R operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with controlled avalanche breakdown at 4.7 V, optimized for stable voltage regulation under low-current conditions (IZ = 5 mA). Its zener impedance of 70 Ω at IZ and 2200 Ω at IZK = 250 μA defines dynamic response in feedback loops and noise-sensitive references.
Thermal design relies on lead-length-dependent power derating: full 500 mW rating applies only when lead temperature (TL) is held ≤ 75°C with 3/8″ lead length; beyond that, linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C applies. The device's DO-35 glass package enables hermetic sealing and high-temperature storage up to +200°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.465 V (min) to 4.935 V (max) at 5 mA - ensures 4.7 V ±5% regulation window for stable reference design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling with 3/8″ leads; critical for thermal layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 70 Ω @ IZ = 5 mA - determines AC regulation error and ripple rejection in shunt regulator topologies |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 3 mA @ VR = 1.5 V - defines minimum reverse-bias current before breakdown onset; impacts standby power |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +200°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and aerospace environments |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max @ IF = 200 mA - confirms low-conduction-loss behavior when used bidirectionally or in protection clamps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 5.6 V nominal rating but 5% tolerance; 100 Ω ZZ @ 43 mA - higher test current, higher impedance | Requires higher bias current; less suitable for low-IZ reference designs | Select 1N5992B_T50R when 4.7 V target and 5 mA operation are mandatory |
| BZX55-C4V7 (Vishay) | Same 4.7 V ±5%, DO-35 package, but 100 Ω ZZ @ 5 mA and 100 nA IR @ 3.2 V - lower leakage, higher ZZ | Better for ultra-low-leakage biasing; inferior AC regulation vs. 1N5992B_T50R | Choose 1N5992B_T50R where low dynamic impedance dominates leakage concerns |
Compared with 1N4734A and BZX55-C4V7, the 1N5992B_T50R delivers superior regulation accuracy at low bias currents (5 mA) and lower dynamic impedance (70 Ω), making it optimal for space-constrained, low-power reference designs where thermal margin and AC stability are prioritized over ultra-low leakage.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for 1N5992B_T50R at 25°C?
The 1N5992B_T50R has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 4.465 V (minimum) to 4.935 V (maximum) at 5 mA test current and 25°C ambient, reflecting its ±5% tolerance specification. This range is measured under thermal equilibrium at lead temperature TL = 30°C ± 1°C with 3/8″ lead length, as defined in the Fairchild datasheet Rev. C2.
Does 1N5992B_T50R support operation above 125°C junction temperature?
Yes, the 1N5992B_T50R is rated for junction and storage temperatures from -65°C to +200°C. Its DO-35 glass package enables reliable operation beyond 125°C, provided power dissipation remains within the derated limit-e.g., at 150°C TL, maximum PD drops to 500 mW − (4.0 mW/°C × 75°C) = 200 mW.
How does the zener impedance of 1N5992B_T50R affect its use in a shunt regulator?
The 1N5992B_T50R's 70 Ω zener impedance at 5 mA directly determines output voltage variation under load changes: ΔVOUT ≈ ZZ × ΔIZ. For example, a 10 mA load step causes ~0.7 V shift-making it suitable for moderate-precision applications but requiring additional filtering if sub-10 mV regulation is needed.
Can 1N5992B_T50R be used as a bidirectional ESD clamp?
No-1N5992B_T50R is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias regulation. While its forward voltage is 1.2 V max at 200 mA, it lacks specified ESD robustness (e.g., HBM or IEC 61000-4-2 ratings). Dedicated TVS diodes like P6KE6.8CA are recommended for ESD/clamp applications.
Is the 1N5992B_T50R RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-the 1N5992B_T50R conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per JEDEC JS709A. Its DO-35 glass package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and material declarations confirm compliance with REACH SVHC thresholds as documented in Fairchild's legacy product certifications.
