Product details
Overview
1N977B_T50R from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 44.65 V, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW glass-passivated 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_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at rated current, maximum reverse leakage at specified test voltage, thermal derating behavior above 75°C, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 1N977B_T50R operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with sharp reverse breakdown characteristics. Its zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA, with typical dynamic impedance of 6.4 Ω and maximum reverse leakage of 0.25 μA at 35.8 V.
It follows JEDEC-standard DO-35 glass axial package construction with cathode band marking, supports operation from –65°C to +200°C, and exhibits linear thermal derating of 4.0 mW/°C above 75°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44.65 V nominal, ±5% tolerance - defines stable regulation point under 5 mA test current |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW at TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 6.4 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.25 μA max at VR = 35.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +200°C - enables use in automotive under-hood, industrial control, and aerospace environments |
| Thermal Derating | 4.0 mW/°C above 75°C - requires thermal design margin for sustained operation above ambient threshold |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% VZ tolerance | Enables predictable regulation without post-assembly trimming in mid-precision applications |
| Low ZZ (6.4 Ω) | Maintains <±0.1 V output deviation across ±1 mA load current changes at nominal VZ |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4755A | Same nominal VZ (44 V), but ±5% tolerance and higher ZZ (15 Ω) | Higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy under varying load | Acceptable where tighter regulation is not required and cost is prioritized |
| BZX55-C43 | VZ = 43 V (±5%), DO-35, ZZ = 70 Ω at 5 mA | Lower voltage rating and significantly higher impedance limit use in precision feedback | Suitable for non-critical clamping where 43 V threshold suffices and sourcing constraints exist |
Compared with 1N977B_T50R, the 1N4755A offers identical tolerance but poorer regulation stability due to 135% higher dynamic impedance, while BZX55-C43 trades 1.65 V lower VZ for substantially degraded voltage control fidelity-making 1N977B_T50R optimal for applications demanding both accuracy and low-impedance behavior.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the 1N977B_T50R?
The 1N977B_T50R has a nominal zener voltage of 44.65 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at a test current of 5 mA and lead temperature of 30°C. This specification ensures predictable regulation performance across manufacturing lots and supports use in applications where moderate voltage accuracy is required without post-production trimming.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal derating behavior of the 1N977B_T50R?
The 1N977B_T50R is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at lead temperature ≤75°C, with linear derating of 4.0 mW/°C above that temperature. This means usable power drops to 400 mW at 100°C lead temperature, requiring thermal layout consideration in enclosed or high-ambient environments where sustained power operation is needed.
What is the zener impedance and reverse leakage specification for the 1N977B_T50R?
The 1N977B_T50R exhibits a typical zener impedance (ZZ) of 6.4 Ω at 5 mA test current and a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.25 μA at 35.8 V. These values directly impact regulation stability and bias network loading-low ZZ maintains tight voltage control under load shifts, while ultra-low IR avoids errors in high-resistance divider configurations.
Which package type does the 1N977B_T50R use, and how is polarity marked?
The 1N977B_T50R uses the JEDEC-standard DO-35 glass axial package, with cathode polarity indicated by a visible color band on the body. This marking aligns with industry conventions and ensures correct orientation during manual or automated assembly, critical for proper reverse-bias operation in regulation and clamping circuits.
What is the operating and storage temperature range for the 1N977B_T50R?
The 1N977B_T50R is specified for operation and storage across –65°C to +200°C, making it suitable for extreme-environment applications such as automotive under-hood electronics, downhole instrumentation, and industrial motor controls. This wide range reflects the robustness of its glass-passivated junction and DO-35 hermetic construction.
