Product details
Overview
1N6000B from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 5% tolerance, 9.5–10.5 V Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL ≤ 75°C with 4.0 mW/°C derating, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications in industrial power supplies and analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6000B datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its nominal Zener voltage (10 V), test current (5 mA), dynamic impedance (15 Ω @ IZ), leakage current (0.1 mA @ VR = 8 V), and maximum Zener current (50 mA) - all critical for stable shunt regulation under varying load and temperature conditions.
Technical Context
The 1N6000B operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with controlled avalanche breakdown at reverse bias, delivering stable voltage reference across its specified operating temperature range of –65°C to +200°C. Its Zener impedance of 15 Ω at 5 mA ensures low output variation under small-signal load changes.
It features a cathode band marking on DO-35 glass case, requires 3/8″ lead length for thermal rating compliance, and exhibits forward voltage ≤1.2 V at 200 mA - enabling bidirectional verification during functional testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.5–10.5 V @ IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window for reference design margin |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous shunt power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 15 Ω @ IZ = 5 mA - determines AC ripple rejection and regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 mA @ VR = 8 V - specifies off-state conduction limiting error in high-impedance bias networks |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 50 mA - establishes absolute peak reverse current limit before thermal runaway risk |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +200°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and aerospace environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode indicated by color band; two-terminal device requiring no orientation-specific PCB layout beyond standard axial diode placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 10 V nominal, 5% tolerance, 1 W power rating, DO-41 package | Higher power handling supports higher current shunt regulation but requires larger PCB footprint | Select when >500 mW continuous dissipation or improved thermal mass is required |
| BZX55C10 | 10 V nominal, 5% tolerance, 500 mW, DO-35 package, tighter ZZ (10 Ω) | Lower dynamic impedance improves ripple rejection but has narrower IZM (38 mA) | Select when superior AC regulation is prioritized over peak current capability |
Compared with 1N6000B, the 1N4740A offers double the power rating in a larger DO-41 package, while BZX55C10 provides lower Zener impedance in identical DO-35 form factor but reduced maximum current - guiding selection based on thermal budget versus dynamic regulation performance.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the 1N6000B?
The 1N6000B has a nominal Zener voltage of 10 V, with a guaranteed range of 9.5 V to 10.5 V at 5 mA test current and 25°C ambient. This value is defined by the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table and applies directly to the 1N6000B part number under standard test conditions. The 1N6000B maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range when used within power derating limits.
What package type does the 1N6000B use?
The 1N6000B uses the DO-35 glass axial package, identified by a cathode band marking and standardized 3/8″ lead length requirement for thermal rating compliance. This package is hermetically sealed and rated for operation up to +200°C junction temperature. The 1N6000B's DO-35 form factor ensures compatibility with legacy through-hole assembly processes and high-temperature reflow profiles.
What is the maximum Zener current (IZM) for the 1N6000B?
The maximum Zener current for the 1N6000B is 50 mA, derived from its 500 mW power rating and typical Zener voltage of 10 V (P = V × I). This value is confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table under the IZM column for the 1N6000B row. Exceeding 50 mA risks thermal instability, making it essential to size the series current-limiting resistor accordingly in 1N6000B-based regulator designs.
Does the 1N6000B have a specified forward voltage?
Yes, the 1N6000B has a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 200 mA forward current, as stated in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" section of the datasheet. This parameter allows functional verification using standard multimeter diode-test mode and confirms silicon junction integrity. The 1N6000B's forward voltage remains consistent with other devices in the 1N5985B–1N6025B family, supporting interoperability in bidirectional test setups.
What is the Zener impedance of the 1N6000B and why does it matter?
The 1N6000B has a Zener impedance (ZZ) of 15 Ω measured at 5 mA test current, indicating its dynamic resistance in the breakdown region. Lower ZZ values improve regulation stability against load current variations - critical in precision reference applications. This 15 Ω value is explicitly listed for the 1N6000B in the Electrical Characteristics table and directly impacts output voltage ripple suppression in 1N6000B-shunted circuits.
