Product details
Overview
1N960B_T50R from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 9.1 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL ≤ 75°C with 7.5 mA test current, 14 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.5 μA reverse leakage at 7.6 V, used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N960B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, cathode-band polarity marking, and DO-35 lead-form compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. It exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 9.1 V measured at 7.5 mA (IZ), with dynamic impedance of 14 Ω at that bias point and 35 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.5 mA).
The device supports operation from –65°C to +200°C, with power derating starting above 75°C at 4.0 mW/°C, and is marked with a cathode band on the DO-35 glass case per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% at IZ = 7.5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator designs |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 14 Ω at IZ = 7.5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA at VR = 7.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby mode |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +200°C - enables use in automotive under-hood and industrial high-temp environments |
| Package | DO-35 glass axial - provides hermetic sealing and standard through-hole mounting |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by a colored band; two-terminal device with no internal circuitry - anode and cathode leads are unidirectional and non-interchangeable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased regulation configuration |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked with color band; connected to higher-potential node to enable voltage clamping |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | 9.1 V ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, 10 Ω ZZ at 19 mA | Higher power handling but larger footprint and different thermal profile | Prefer when >500 mW dissipation or PCB space allows DO-41 |
| BZX55C9V1 | 9.1 V ±5%, 500 mW, DO-35, 15 Ω ZZ at 5 mA | Near-identical electrical specs but different manufacturer marking and traceability | Direct functional substitute where Fairchild sourcing is constrained |
Compared with 1N960B_T50R, the 1N4739A offers higher power margin but requires layout revision, while BZX55C9V1 matches form, fit, and function with identical DO-35 packaging and compatible zener characteristics.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 1N960B_T50R?
The 1N960B_T50R has a zener voltage tolerance of ±5% around its nominal 9.1 V rating, measured at 7.5 mA test current and 25°C ambient. This tolerance is guaranteed per the Fairchild 1N957B–1N979B datasheet Rev. F1 and applies to all units within specification. The 1N960B_T50R achieves this consistency via process-controlled doping and post-trim screening.
Does 1N960B_T50R have a specified cathode marking?
Yes, the 1N960B_T50R uses a colored band on the DO-35 glass body to denote the cathode terminal, consistent with JEDEC DO-35 marking standards. The band is located adjacent to the cathode lead and must be oriented toward the higher-potential node in circuit layout. This marking is visible in top-view inspection and confirmed in the Fairchild top-mark information table for 1N960B.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for 1N960B_T50R?
The maximum reverse leakage current for 1N960B_T50R is 0.5 μA at VR = 7.6 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown bias and is critical for low-power applications such as battery-backed supervisors. The 1N960B_T50R maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range.
Can 1N960B_T50R be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the 1N960B_T50R is packaged exclusively in the through-hole DO-35 glass axial format and is not suitable for surface-mount assembly. Its leaded construction requires hole drilling and wave soldering or hand-soldering. For SMT equivalents, consider the BZX55C9V1 in DO-35 variant or SOD-123 packages - but note those are distinct orderables, not drop-in replacements for 1N960B_T50R.
How does thermal derating apply to 1N960B_T50R?
The 1N960B_T50R derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above a lead temperature of 75°C, down to zero power at 200°C. This derating is based on measured thermal resistance from junction to leads and must be applied using actual lead temperature (TL), not ambient. Designers must verify TL via thermal modeling or thermocouple measurement to avoid exceeding the 500 mW limit at elevated temperatures.
