Product details
Overview
2M190Z from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 W, 190 V Zener diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, ≤0.5 µA leakage at 144.8 V, 825 Ω dynamic impedance at 2.6 mA test current, and AEC-Q101 qualification option for automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the 2M190Z datasheet, 2M190Z pinout, 2M190Z application, or 2M190Z equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection element in power supply regulation, ESD clamp circuits, and industrial control feedback loops where stable 190 V zener operation under 2.6 mA bias is required.
Technical Context
The 2M190Z operates as a single-die, silicon planar Zener diode with cathode-band polarity indication and pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability. Its 190 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 2.6 mA test current (IZT), with maximum zener impedance of 825 Ω at IZT and 8000 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.25 mA).
It supports steady-state power dissipation of 2 W at TL = 75°C on 10 mm × 10 mm Cu pad, with junction temperature range from –55°C to +175°C and surge peak forward current rating of 15 A (8.3 ms half-sine). The device meets UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | 190 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, no AEC-Q101 option | Limited to lower-power designs; lacks automotive qualification and thermal robustness | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs power margin and automotive compliance needs |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 2M190Z?
The 2M190Z has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 2.6 mA test current, as specified in the electrical characteristics table. This tolerance applies to the nominal 190 V rating and is measured under JEDEC-compliant conditions: 40 ms ±10 ms current pulse, ambient temperature of 25°C, and lead length of 0.375". Tighter tolerances are available as special-order devices.
Does 2M190Z support automotive applications?
Yes, the 2M190Z is available in an AEC-Q101 qualified version (marked as 2M190ZH), which undergoes rigorous stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and mechanical shock. The base 2M190Z part is not automatically qualified; only variants with the "H" suffix meet AEC-Q101 requirements.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for 2M190Z?
The maximum junction temperature (TJ MAX) for 2M190Z is +175°C, with a full operating range from –55°C to +175°C. This rating is validated under steady-state conditions with 2 W power dissipation at TL = 75°C on a 10 mm × 10 mm copper pad, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments.
How does the zener impedance of 2M190Z affect regulation stability?
The 2M190Z exhibits a zener impedance (ZZT) of 825 Ω at 2.6 mA test current, meaning a 1 mA change in bias current produces approximately 0.825 V variation in output voltage. This value ensures predictable regulation behavior in feedback networks where current stability is maintained within ±0.5 mA, making it suitable for precision reference applications with low-noise bias sources.
What packaging options are available for 2M190Z?
The 2M190Z is supplied in DO-204AC (DO-15) package with two standard packing formats: 3,500 units per tape-and-reel (ordering code 2M190Z or 2M190ZH) and 1,500 units per ammo box (ordering code 2M190Z A0G or 2M190ZHA0G). All versions feature pure tin-plated leads and comply with RoHS and halogen-free standards.
