Product details
Overview
1N6005B_T50R from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 15.2 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL ≤ 75°C with 4.0 mW/°C derating, 36 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), and 15 Ω typical Zener impedance (ZZ) at 5 mA test current - used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6005B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, leakage current at 12 V reverse bias (0.1 mA), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with fixed breakdown voltage defined by its doped PN junction. Its Zener voltage is specified at thermal equilibrium with 3/8″ lead length and TL = 30°C ±1°C, ensuring stable regulation under controlled thermal conditions.
It exhibits 15 Ω typical dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 600 Ω knee impedance at 250 μA, supporting stable regulation across load variations while maintaining low leakage (0.1 mA at VR = 12 V) and forward voltage ≤1.2 V at 200 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.2 V min / 16.8 V max at 5 mA - defines regulated output range for reference design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 15 Ω typical @ IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 36 mA - limits peak current to avoid thermal runaway at full rated power |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 mA @ VR = 12 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +200°C - supports operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4744A | 14 V nominal, ±5%, DO-41 package, 1 W rating, 20 Ω ZZ @ 25 mA | Higher power rating but larger footprint; requires layout revision for DO-41 vs DO-35 | Select when >500 mW dissipation or higher IZM (91 mA) is required; not drop-in compatible |
| BZX55-C15 | 15 V nominal, ±5%, DO-35 package, 500 mW, 20 Ω ZZ @ 5 mA, 100 nA IR @ 12 V | Lower leakage (100 nA vs 0.1 mA) but same package and thermal profile | Prefer for ultra-low-power bias networks where sub-μA leakage is critical; identical board fit |
Compared with 1N6005B_T50R, 1N4744A offers higher power handling but requires PCB rework, while BZX55-C15 delivers 1000× lower leakage in the same DO-35 footprint - making it ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes where standby current dominates lifetime.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the 1N6005B_T50R?
The 1N6005B_T50R has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with a specified range of 15.2 V (min) to 16.8 V (max) at 5 mA test current and thermal equilibrium conditions. This tolerance is measured per Fairchild's Rev. C2 datasheet and applies directly to the 1N6005B_T50R variant. The 1N6005B_T50R maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N6005B_T50R at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient, the 1N6005B_T50R must be derated from its 500 mW rating at TL ≤ 75°C. With a derating factor of 4.0 mW/°C above 75°C, the allowable power drops to 400 mW (500 mW − [25°C × 4.0 mW/°C]). This calculation assumes standard 3/8″ lead length and proper PCB thermal relief. The 1N6005B_T50R datasheet specifies this linear derating curve explicitly.
Does the 1N6005B_T50R have a specified forward voltage?
Yes - the 1N6005B_T50R has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.2 V at 200 mA forward current, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Fairchild datasheet. This value is relevant when the device is used in bidirectional clamping or reverse-polarity protection circuits. The 1N6005B_T50R's VF specification ensures predictable conduction behavior outside Zener breakdown.
What is the leakage current of the 1N6005B_T50R at 12 V reverse bias?
The 1N6005B_T50R exhibits a maximum leakage current (IR) of 0.1 mA at VR = 12 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is confirmed for TA = 25°C and reflects worst-case DC leakage in voltage-reference or high-impedance bias applications. The 1N6005B_T50R's leakage remains stable across its full operating temperature range.
Is the 1N6005B_T50R available in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly?
Yes - the 1N6005B_T50R is supplied in tape-and-reel format compliant with EIA-481 standards, supporting pick-and-place assembly for high-volume manufacturing. Reel quantities and packaging dimensions align with DO-35 axial device conventions. Aetrix Electronics stocks the 1N6005B_T50R in standard industry tape-and-reel configurations for seamless SMT integration.
