Product details
Overview
1N964B_T50A from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 13 V, 5% tolerance, 500 mW glass-encapsulated Zener diode in DO-35 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications at 9.5 mA test current, with 24 Ω dynamic impedance and 0.25 μA reverse leakage at 9.9 V.
For engineers reviewing the 1N964B_T50A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (12.35–13.65 V), thermal stability over –65°C to +200°C, low dynamic impedance for stable regulation, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility in space-constrained analog circuits.
Technical Context
The 1N964B_T50A operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining a stable breakdown voltage across its anode–cathode junction under reverse bias. Its zener mechanism dominates in the 13 V range, delivering predictable regulation with minimal temperature coefficient drift.
It is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature ≤75°C, derating linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above that threshold. The device meets MIL-STD-19500/205 requirements for reliability and is specified with 5% tolerance, 24 Ω zener impedance at IZ = 9.5 mA, and 0.25 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 9.9 V.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | 12 V nominal, 5% tolerance, 1 W rating, DO-41 package | Higher power handling but larger footprint; less suitable for compact DO-35 layouts | Select when >500 mW dissipation or PCB real estate allows DO-41 |

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage of the 1N964B_T50A?
The 1N964B_T50A has a nominal zener voltage of 13 V, with a guaranteed range of 12.35 V to 13.65 V at IZ = 9.5 mA and TA = 25°C. This 5% tolerance enables use in mid-precision reference circuits without trimming. The 1N964B_T50A achieves this specification using silicon zener junction technology optimized for stability in the 13 V range.
What package type does the 1N964B_T50A use?
The 1N964B_T50A uses a DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by a color band. This hermetically sealed package supports operation from –65°C to +200°C and is compatible with standard through-hole assembly processes. The 1N964B_T50A's DO-35 outline measures 1.8–2.2 mm diameter and 4.0–5.0 mm length per JEDEC standards.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N964B_T50A?
The 1N964B_T50A is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature ≤75°C, with linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This limit ensures safe junction operation under continuous reverse bias. The 1N964B_T50A's thermal performance is validated per MIL-STD-19500/205, supporting reliable long-term use in thermally demanding environments.
What is the zener impedance of the 1N964B_T50A at rated test current?
The 1N964B_T50A exhibits a maximum zener impedance (ZZ) of 24 Ω at IZ = 9.5 mA and f = 60 Hz. This value reflects AC impedance measured with 0.1×DC test current, indicating low sensitivity to load variations. The 1N964B_T50A's 24 Ω ZZ contributes directly to output regulation accuracy in feedback and reference circuits.
Does the 1N964B_T50A have a specified reverse leakage current?
Yes-the 1N964B_T50A specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.25 μA at VR = 9.9 V and TA = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal error in high-impedance bias networks and reference dividers. The 1N964B_T50A's leakage performance is consistent across its qualified temperature range, supporting stable operation in precision analog signal chains.
