Product details
Overview
1N958B_T50R from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 7.5 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, 16.5 Ω typical zener impedance at 5.5 mA, and reverse leakage of 0.5 μA at 5.7 V. It provides stable voltage reference in low-power analog regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N958B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal zener voltage (7.5 V), tolerance (±5%), zener impedance (16.5 Ω @ 5.5 mA), power rating (500 mW), and DO-35 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1N958B_T50R operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at 7.5 V nominal, defined under thermal equilibrium at lead temperature 30°C ±1°C and 3/8″ lead length. Its zener impedance (ZZ) is measured at 60 Hz with 0.1×DC test current, yielding 16.5 Ω typical at IZ = 5.5 mA.
It supports operation across -65°C to +200°C junction and storage temperature range, with maximum zener current IZM = 75 mA derived from power derating curves and actual VZ at operating point. Reverse leakage IR is specified as 0.5 μA at VR = 5.7 V, confirming low standby current in bias networks.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in lead-mounted configuration |
| Derating Factor | 4.0 mW/°C above 75°C - enables thermal design margin calculation for elevated ambient conditions |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA @ VR = 5.7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 75 mA - derived from worst-case VZ and derating curve, limits surge capability |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +200°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A | 5.1 V nominal, 5% tolerance, DO-41 package, 1 Ω ZZ @ 49 mA | Lower voltage, higher power (1 W), lower impedance - suited for higher-current regulation | Select when 5.1 V reference and >500 mW dissipation are required; not interchangeable due to VZ and package mismatch |
| BZX55C7V5 | 7.5 V nominal, 5% tolerance, DO-35 package, 30 Ω ZZ @ 5 mA | Same voltage and package but higher impedance - less stable under dynamic load | Acceptable where tighter regulation is not critical; verify thermal performance with 750 mW max rating |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55C7V5, the 1N958B_T50R offers optimal balance of 7.5 V accuracy, 16.5 Ω impedance, and DO-35 form factor for space-constrained, low-to-moderate current shunt regulation - neither alternative matches its exact VZ/ZZ/package combination.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N958B_T50R?
The 1N958B_T50R has a nominal zener voltage of 7.5 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured under thermal equilibrium at lead temperature 30°C ±1°C and 3/8″ lead length. This specification ensures predictable clamping behavior in voltage reference and protection circuits where tight DC accuracy is required without trimming.
What is the maximum power dissipation and derating behavior of the 1N958B_T50R?
The 1N958B_T50R is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature ≤75°C, with linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This allows thermal design margin calculation for ambient conditions up to +200°C junction temperature, supporting use in under-hood automotive and industrial environments.
What is the zener impedance and test condition for the 1N958B_T50R?
The 1N958B_T50R exhibits 16.5 Ω typical zener impedance (ZZ) measured at 60 Hz with AC test current equal to 0.1×DC current (IZ = 5.5 mA). This low dynamic impedance ensures stable regulation under small-signal load variations in feedback and reference applications.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for the 1N958B_T50R?
The 1N958B_T50R specifies 0.5 μA maximum reverse leakage current (IR) at reverse voltage VR = 5.7 V. This ultra-low leakage minimizes error in high-impedance bias networks and preserves battery life in portable sensor and instrumentation circuits.
What package type and marking convention does the 1N958B_T50R use?
The 1N958B_T50R uses the DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by a color band. Marking consists of Fairchild logo (line 1), "58" (line 2), and "B" (line 3), conforming to Fairchild's top-marking specification for 1Nxx series devices.
