Product details
Overview
1N6009B_T50A from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 22.8 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, 62 mA maximum Zener current (IZM), and 600 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) at 5 mA test current - used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference and overvoltage clamp circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6009B_T50A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified Zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, leakage current at 18 V reverse bias, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with stable breakdown at 22.8 V under 5 mA DC test current, maintaining regulation across -65°C to +200°C junction temperature range. Its 600 Ω Zener impedance at IZ and 600 Ω knee impedance (ZZK) at 250 μA define low-noise performance in feedback paths.
The DO-35 glass package features axial leads with cathode band marking, supporting lead temperature-controlled testing per JEDEC JESD24-A. Forward voltage is specified at ≤1.2 V @ 200 mA, confirming standard silicon PN junction behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8 V min / 24 V typ / 25.2 V max @ 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 600 Ω @ 5 mA - determines AC regulation stability in feedback or reference loops |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 62 mA - limits peak surge capability without exceeding safe operating area |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.1 mA @ VR = 18 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +200°C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial high-temp environments |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by single black band on body; leads are unmarked anode/cathode terminals requiring orientation verification via band placement during PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias Zener operation; carries full IZ current during regulation |
| Cathode | Reverse-bias breakdown terminal | Marked with black band; connected to higher-potential node to enable controlled avalanche conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N6009RLG | Same 22.8 V Zener voltage, ±5% tolerance, DO-35 package, but manufactured by ON Semiconductor with RoHS-compliant plating and tighter IR spec (0.05 mA @ 18 V). | Preferred for new designs requiring RoHS compliance and lower leakage in ultra-low-power sensor nodes. | Select 1N6009RLG when environmental compliance and sub-100 nA leakage sensitivity outweigh legacy supply chain continuity. |
| BZX55C24 | 24 V nominal Zener voltage (22.8–25.2 V range), same DO-35 package, 500 mW rating, but higher ZZ (700 Ω @ 5 mA) and wider tolerance (±5% over 24 V nominal). | Suitable for non-critical clamping where 24 V nominal alignment simplifies BOM consolidation across multiple Zener voltages. | Choose BZX55C24 only if system-level tolerance allows 1.2 V higher nominal regulation point and 100 Ω higher impedance is acceptable. |
Compared with 1N6009B_T50A, 1N6009RLG offers identical electrical function with enhanced environmental compliance, while BZX55C24 trades exact 22.8 V matching for broader industry-standard availability at a slightly higher nominal voltage - making the former ideal for drop-in replacement in legacy systems, the latter better suited for green-design initiatives or multi-voltage BOM rationalization.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for 1N6009B_T50A?
The 1N6009B_T50A has a guaranteed Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, with minimum, typical, and maximum values of 22.8 V, 24 V, and 25.2 V respectively at 5 mA test current. This tolerance is measured under thermal equilibrium conditions at lead temperature of 30°C ± 1°C with 3/8" lead length, ensuring repeatability in production testing and design margining for 1N6009B_T50A-based reference circuits.
Does 1N6009B_T50A support high-temperature operation?
Yes, the 1N6009B_T50A is rated for junction and storage temperatures from -65°C to +200°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole oil/gas, and industrial furnace control applications. Its 4.0 mW/°C derating above 75°C allows predictable power reduction in elevated ambient conditions, and the DO-35 glass package maintains mechanical integrity across this full range - a key reliability factor confirmed in Fairchild's 1N5985B–1N6025B qualification data for 1N6009B_T50A.
What is the forward voltage specification for 1N6009B_T50A?
The forward voltage of 1N6009B_T50A is specified as ≤1.2 V at 200 mA forward current, consistent with standard silicon PN junction behavior. This parameter validates proper diode conduction during forward-bias verification or ESD protection path analysis, and confirms absence of abnormal series resistance that could indicate packaging defects - a specification explicitly listed on page 2 of the Fairchild 1N5985B–1N6025B Rev. C2 datasheet for 1N6009B_T50A.
How is cathode identification implemented on 1N6009B_T50A?
The cathode of 1N6009B_T50A is marked by a single black band on the DO-35 glass body, positioned adjacent to the cathode lead. This marking follows JEDEC standard polarity indication and matches the top-marking layout shown in the "Top Mark Information" section of the Fairchild datasheet, where Line 1 is the Fairchild logo, Line 2 is "00", and Line 3 is "9B" - confirming correct orientation for 1N6009B_T50A during manual or automated placement.
Is 1N6009B_T50A suitable for use as a voltage reference in precision analog circuits?
Yes, the 1N6009B_T50A supports precision analog use via its 600 Ω Zener impedance at 5 mA and 0.1 mA leakage at 18 V reverse bias, enabling stable regulation in high-impedance feedback networks. While not a temperature-compensated reference, its ±5% VZ tolerance and low ZZ allow effective use in non-critical references such as sensor excitation or comparator thresholds - validated by application examples in Fairchild's technical documentation for the 1N6009B_T50A family.
