Product details
Overview
1N967B_T50R from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 5% tolerance, 18 V nominal Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at ≤75°C, with 7.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 21 mA test current and 0.25 μA reverse leakage at 13.7 V. It provides stable voltage reference in low-power analog regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N967B_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, dynamic impedance at specified test current, reverse leakage at rated voltage, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1N967B_T50R operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for precision voltage clamping and reference generation in DC bias networks. Its 18 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified at 21 mA (IZ), with tight 5% tolerance and low 7.0 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) ensuring minimal voltage variation under load changes.
It exhibits 0.25 μA maximum reverse leakage (IR) at 13.7 V (VR = 0.76 × VZ), confirming stable off-state blocking. The device is rated for junction temperatures from –65°C to +200°C and requires 4.0 mW/°C linear derating above 75°C ambient lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18.0 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines precise clamping threshold for regulation or protection |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 7.0 Ω at IZ = 21 mA - ensures <140 mV output shift per 20 mA load change |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 μA max at VR = 13.7 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole designs |
| Thermal Derating | 4.0 mW/°C above 75°C - enables predictable power margining in elevated ambient environments |
| Operating Temp Range | –65°C to +200°C - validated for industrial, automotive under-hood, and aerospace-grade applications |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode indicated by color band; two-terminal device requiring no external biasing circuitry. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, 0.51 mm diameter, 3/8″ length standard for thermal rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased configuration; establishes reference return path |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage clamp input | Connected to higher-potential rail; conducts when voltage exceeds 18 V ±5%, shunting excess current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables accurate voltage setting without post-assembly trimming in production analog circuits |
| Low 7.0 Ω dynamic impedance | Maintains ±0.15 V regulation window across 10–30 mA operating range |
| 0.25 μA max reverse leakage | Prevents signal distortion in high-impedance op-amp feedback networks and sensor biasing |
| DO-35 glass package | Provides hermetic sealing and stable long-term VZ drift (<0.01%/1000 hrs typical) |
Applications
| Reference Voltage Source | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable bias for op-amp comparators and ADC reference dividers in battery-powered instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal passive voltage reference establishing 18 V reference point independent of supply variation. Use Value: Delivers ±0.9 V absolute accuracy and <140 mV load regulation error across 10–25 mA, reducing calibration overhead. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from transient surges on 15–24 V industrial control lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt clamping element that activates at 18 V to divert fault current away from sensitive inputs. Use Value: Limits peak voltage to ≤18.9 V (VZ max) within 100 ns, preventing latch-up in 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces. |
| DC Power Supply Regulation | Signal Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Stabilizing unregulated 24 V wall adapter outputs for analog sensor modules requiring clean 18 V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-pass regulator component in simple shunt-regulated linear supply topology. Use Value: Maintains output within ±0.15 V over 5–20 mA load, eliminating need for three-terminal IC regulators in cost-sensitive designs. | Use Scenario: Level-shifting 3.3 V logic signals to interface with 18 V analog front-end stages in mixed-signal data acquisition systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage limiter defining safe high-side and low-side signal excursion bounds. Use Value: Clamps negative excursions to –0.7 V (forward drop) and positive excursions to +18.9 V, preserving signal integrity without active components. |
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 at 25 mA | Higher power handling but lower voltage and looser 5% tolerance; larger footprint | Select when 14 V clamping and >500 mW pulse capability are required |
| BZX55-C18 | 18 V nominal, 5% tolerance, 500 mW, DO-35, 20 Ω ZZ at 5 mA | Higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy under varying loads | Choose for legacy BZX55 footprint compatibility where 7 Ω ZZ is not critical |
Compared with 1N4744A and BZX55-C18, the 1N967B_T50R delivers tighter regulation (7.0 Ω vs. 20 Ω) at its nominal 18 V point in the same DO-35 form factor, making it optimal for space-constrained, precision-clamp applications where low-impedance voltage stability is prioritized over raw power rating.

FAQ
What is the nominal Zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N967B_T50R?
The 1N967B_T50R has a nominal Zener voltage of 18.0 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 17.1 V and 18.9 V at 21 mA test current and 25°C. This tolerance is measured under standardized conditions per Fairchild's datasheet Rev. F1 and applies directly to the 1N967B_T50R device marking.
What is the Zener impedance (ZZ) of the 1N967B_T50R and why does it matter?
The 1N967B_T50R exhibits a Zener impedance of 7.0 Ω at IZ = 21 mA. This low value means the device maintains tight voltage regulation-less than 140 mV deviation across a 20 mA load swing-making it suitable for precision biasing and clamping where output stability under dynamic current is essential.
Does the 1N967B_T50R have a specified reverse leakage current, and at what voltage is it measured?
Yes, the 1N967B_T50R has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.25 μA, measured at VR = 13.7 V (76% of nominal VZ). This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic current draw in high-impedance reference networks, preserving accuracy in op-amp feedback paths and sensor bias circuits.
What is the power dissipation rating and thermal derating behavior of the 1N967B_T50R?
The 1N967B_T50R is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature (TL) ≤ 75°C with 3/8″ lead length. Above 75°C, it derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C-so at 105°C TL, usable power drops to 380 mW. This derating curve is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Fairchild 1N957B–1N979B datasheet.
Is the 1N967B_T50R packaged in DO-35, and how is polarity marked?
Yes, the 1N967B_T50R uses the DO-35 glass axial package. Polarity is indicated by a single color band near one end, denoting the cathode terminal. This marking aligns with JEDEC standards and matches the physical layout shown in the Fairchild datasheet diagram on page 2.
