Product details
Overview
1N967B_T50A from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 5% tolerance, 18 V nominal Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL ≤ 75°C with 4.0 mW/°C derating, operating across -65°C to +200°C, and used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N967B_T50A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include verified Zener voltage (17.1–18.9 V), dynamic impedance (17 Ω @ 21 mA), leakage current (≤0.25 μA @ 13.7 V), maximum Zener current (21 mA), and DO-35 thermal and mechanical compatibility.
Technical Context
The 1N967B_T50A operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable reverse-biased conduction at its specified Zener voltage range. Its junction design supports operation up to +200°C and storage down to -65°C, with thermal derating applied above 75°C ambient lead temperature.
It exhibits a typical Zener impedance of 17 Ω measured at 21 mA DC bias with 0.1×IZ AC signal at 60 Hz, and guarantees IR ≤ 0.25 μA at VR = 13.7 V - confirming tight low-current regulation performance suitable for battery-powered and low-leakage sensing applications.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard 3/8″ leads |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 13.7 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +200°C - enables deployment in extended industrial and under-hood automotive environments |
| Tolerance | ±5% - specifies initial calibration accuracy without post-manufacture trimming |

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, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, 20 Ω ZZ @ 25 mA | Higher power, lower voltage - unsuitable for 18 V reference but better for higher-current clamping | Select when ≥1 W dissipation or DO-41 board footprint required |
| BZX55-C18 | 18 V nominal, 500 mW, DO-35, 20 Ω ZZ @ 5 mA, ±5% tolerance | Same voltage grade and package, but higher ZZ at lower test current - less stable under varying loads | Acceptable where 5 mA bias suffices and 17 Ω ZZ at 21 mA is not required |
Compared with 1N4744A and BZX55-C18, the 1N967B_T50A delivers tighter regulation at 21 mA (17 Ω) and guaranteed low leakage (≤0.25 μA), making it preferable for precision low-current references despite identical DO-35 form factor and power rating.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage of the 1N967B_T50A?
The 1N967B_T50A has a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V, with a guaranteed range of 17.1 V minimum to 18.9 V maximum when tested at 21 mA DC current. This specification is defined per Fairchild's Rev. F1 datasheet and reflects the device's calibrated regulation point under standard thermal conditions (TL = 30°C, 3/8″ lead length).
What package type does the 1N967B_T50A use?
The 1N967B_T50A uses the DO-35 glass axial package, identified by a cathode color band and standardized 3/8″ lead length. This package supports manual or wave soldering and provides hermetic sealing suitable for high-reliability applications, including those requiring operation from -65°C to +200°C.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N967B_T50A?
The 1N967B_T50A is rated for 500 mW maximum power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 75°C. Above 75°C, it must be derated linearly at 4.0 mW/°C, reaching zero dissipation at TL = 200°C. This rating assumes standard 3/8″ lead length and free-air convection cooling per the original Fairchild specification.
What is the Zener impedance of the 1N967B_T50A and how is it measured?
The 1N967B_T50A has a typical Zener impedance (ZZ) of 17 Ω, measured at 21 mA DC bias with a 0.1×IZ (2.1 mA) 60 Hz AC signal superimposed. This value reflects small-signal dynamic resistance and directly impacts voltage regulation stability under varying load conditions in precision reference designs.
Does the 1N967B_T50A have a specified leakage current?
Yes, the 1N967B_T50A specifies a maximum leakage current (IR) of 0.25 μA at reverse voltage (VR) = 13.7 V. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance applications such as battery voltage monitoring and precision divider networks where even nanoamp-level errors affect measurement accuracy.
