Product details
Overview
1N977B_T50A from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 44.65 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW glass-encapsulated Zener diode in DO-35 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and analog signal conditioning stages.
For engineers reviewing the 1N977B_T50A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (44.65 V min/49.35 V max), dynamic impedance (6.4 Ω at 105 mA), leakage current (≤0.25 μA at 35.8 V), and thermal derating (4.0 mW/°C above 75°C).
Technical Context
The 1N977B_T50A operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode with controlled reverse-breakdown behavior, optimized for stable DC voltage reference generation under regulated current conditions. Its DO-35 glass package ensures hermetic sealing and low parasitic capacitance, supporting reliable operation across -65°C to +200°C ambient and junction temperatures.
It exhibits a nominal zener voltage of 44.65 V measured at 105 mA with 5% tolerance, dynamic impedance of 6.4 Ω at rated test current, and maximum zener current of 105 mA-dictated by its 500 mW power dissipation limit and thermal derating profile.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44.65 V min / 49.35 V max at IZ = 105 mA - defines usable regulation range for feedback or clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 6.4 Ω @ IZ = 105 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.25 μA @ VR = 35.8 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 105 mA - derived from PD and VZ, limits safe operating current in shunt regulator designs |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +200°C - enables use in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |
| Tolerance | ±5% - specifies initial calibration accuracy without post-manufacturing trimming |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4753A | Same nominal voltage (47 V), but ±5% tolerance, higher ZZ (17 Ω), lower PD (1 W vs. 500 mW) | Higher power handling; less suitable for space-constrained PCBs where DO-35 size is critical | Select 1N4753A only if >500 mW dissipation is required and larger DO-41 package is acceptable |
| BZX55-C47 | 47 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, ZZ = 15 Ω @ 5 mA, different test current (5 mA vs. 105 mA) | Optimized for low-current references; not recommended for high-current shunt regulation | Choose BZX55-C47 for low-power biasing, not for 105 mA regulation duty cycles |
Compared with 1N4753A and BZX55-C47, the 1N977B_T50A offers tighter dynamic impedance at high test current and DO-35 form factor ideal for compact analog boards, while maintaining identical voltage tolerance and superior thermal range.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage of the 1N977B_T50A?
The 1N977B_T50A has a nominal zener voltage of 44.65 V, with a minimum of 44.65 V and maximum of 49.35 V at test current IZ = 105 mA. This value is specified per Fairchild's 1N957B–1N979B datasheet Rev. F1 and reflects the device's 5% tolerance band. The 1N977B_T50A achieves this regulation point under controlled thermal conditions (lead temperature ≤75°C).
What package type does the 1N977B_T50A use?
The 1N977B_T50A uses the DO-35 glass axial package, identified by a cathode color band and marked with "F" logo, "77", and "B" across three lines. This hermetically sealed package supports operation from -65°C to +200°C and is distinct from plastic DO-41 variants. The 1N977B_T50A's DO-35 form factor ensures low parasitic capacitance and long-term parameter stability.
What is the maximum power dissipation for the 1N977B_T50A?
The 1N977B_T50A has a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW at lead temperature ≤75°C, with linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating is defined under standardized test conditions (3/8″ lead length) and directly constrains usable current in shunt regulator applications. Exceeding this limit risks thermal runaway or parametric shift in the 1N977B_T50A.
How does the 1N977B_T50A compare to the 1N4753A in terms of zener impedance?
The 1N977B_T50A has a zener impedance of 6.4 Ω at 105 mA, while the 1N4753A specifies 17 Ω at 21 mA. This lower impedance at higher current makes the 1N977B_T50A more effective for high-current regulation stability. The 1N977B_T50A's impedance advantage is most relevant in applications like SMPS feedback where load transients demand tight voltage control.
Is the 1N977B_T50A suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes-the 1N977B_T50A is rated for operation from -65°C to +200°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial motor controls, and downhole instrumentation. Its DO-35 glass package contributes to this extended range, and the 1N977B_T50A maintains specified electrical characteristics across this full span when operated within its power and current limits.
