Product details
Overview
BZX85C47_T50R from ON Semiconductor is a 47 V ±5% tolerance, 1.0 W axial-leaded Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, with Zener impedance of 4 Ω at 90 mA test current and leakage current ≤0.25 μA at 33 V reverse voltage, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power supplies and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX85C47_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, power derating above 50°C (6.67 mW/°C), thermal resistance (junction-to-lead), cathode band identification, and compliance with JEDEC DO-204AL mechanical standards.
Technical Context
The BZX85C47_T50R operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, maintaining stable 47 V output across a defined reverse-bias current range (IZ = 90 mA). Its glass-passivated DO-41 package ensures hermetic sealing and thermal stability up to +200°C junction temperature.
It exhibits low dynamic impedance (ZZ = 4 Ω) at rated test current, enabling tight regulation under varying load conditions, and specifies maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 200 mA - confirming standard silicon PN junction behavior for bidirectional verification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44–50 V at IZ = 90 mA; defines regulated output voltage with ±5% tolerance for stable reference design |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W at TA = 25°C; sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal shutdown or degradation |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 4 Ω at IZ = 90 mA; determines regulation sensitivity to current changes - lower value improves line/load regulation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.25 μA at VR = 33 V; ensures minimal standby power loss and high-impedance blocking in off-state |
| Operating Temperature | −65°C to +200°C; supports industrial, automotive under-hood, and high-reliability environments without derating |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.2 V at IF = 200 mA; confirms standard silicon diode conduction for polarity verification and clamp testing |
| Thermal Derating | 6.67 mW/°C above 50°C ambient; enables accurate power budgeting in elevated-temperature PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 glass axial package with cathode identified by a single color band on the body; leads are tinned copper-clad steel, compatible with wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode bias reference | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias regulation; used for forward-voltage verification |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Marked with color band; connected to higher-potential node to enable controlled avalanche conduction at 47 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables predictable regulation without post-production trimming in cost-sensitive power supply designs |
| Hermetically sealed glass DO-41 package | Provides long-term stability and moisture resistance for outdoor, industrial, and automotive applications |
| Low Zener impedance (4 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load transients in feedback reference paths |
| High-temperature operation (up to +200°C) | Supports placement near heat-generating components without derating or external heatsinking |
| JEDEC DO-204AL compliant footprint | Ensures mechanical compatibility with legacy through-hole assembly tooling and board layouts |
Applications
| DC Power Supply Regulation | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4752A | Same 47 V nominal rating, but ±5% tolerance and 1.0 W rating; DO-41 package; ZZ = 14 Ω at 11 mA (not 90 mA) | Higher ZZ and lower test current reduce regulation accuracy under heavy load vs. BZX85C47_T50R | Select when legacy 1N-series sourcing is required and load current stays below 25 mA |
| MMSZ47ET1G | SOD-123 surface-mount package; same 47 V ±5%, but PD = 500 mW and ZZ = 90 Ω at 1 mA | Not suitable for >300 mW continuous dissipation; lacks thermal mass for high-energy transients | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where power demand is low and reflow assembly is mandatory |
Compared with 1N4752A and MMSZ47ET1G, the BZX85C47_T50R delivers superior regulation stability at high current (90 mA), higher power headroom (1.0 W), and robust thermal performance - making it optimal for industrial power and protection roles where reliability trumps miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZX85C47_T50R?
The BZX85C47_T50R has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5%, meaning its regulated voltage falls between 44 V and 50 V when tested at 90 mA. This tolerance is specified per the ON Semiconductor datasheet Rev. 2 (October 2017) and applies across the full operating temperature range. The BZX85C47_T50R achieves this consistency using tightly controlled diffusion processes in its silicon junction.
Can BZX85C47_T50R be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the BZX85C47_T50R uses a DO-41 axial glass package with 0.4–0.6 mm diameter leads, intended for through-hole mounting only. It is not compatible with SMT reflow profiles or pick-and-place equipment. For surface-mount equivalents, consider the MMSZ47ET1G (SOD-123) or NZ9F47ST5G (SOD-923), though both differ in power rating and impedance from the BZX85C47_T50R.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX85C47_T50R?
The BZX85C47_T50R specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.25 μA at VR = 33 V (70% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at 25°C ambient. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal quiescent power draw in always-on protection circuits and preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference nodes where the BZX85C47_T50R is deployed.
How does thermal derating apply to BZX85C47_T50R?
The BZX85C47_T50R must be derated linearly at 6.67 mW/°C above 50°C ambient temperature. At 100°C ambient, its usable power drops to 1.0 W − (50 × 6.67 mW) = 666.5 mW. This derating reflects junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and ensures safe operation without exceeding the +200°C maximum junction temperature limit of the BZX85C47_T50R.
Is BZX85C47_T50R RoHS compliant?
Yes - the BZX85C47_T50R is RoHS compliant per ON Semiconductor's product change notification PCN-1701011 and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. Lead content is restricted to <1000 ppm, and all six RoHS substances (including Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr⁶⁺, PBB, PBDE) are below threshold limits. Compliance documentation is available upon request for the BZX85C47_T50R.
