Product details
Overview
2M19Z from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 2 W, 19 V Zener diode in DO-204AC (DO-15) package, featuring glass-passivated junction, 11 Ω maximum zener impedance at 26.3 mA test current, and ≤0.5 µA leakage current at 14.4 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection device in automotive power rails and industrial sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2M19Z datasheet, 2M19Z pinout, 2M19Z application, or 2M19Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5% zener voltage tolerance, AEC-Q101 qualification option (2M19ZH), 175°C maximum junction temperature, and compatibility with J-STD-002 soldering standards for high-reliability PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The 2M19Z operates as a single-die, silicon planar Zener diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 19 V at 26.3 mA test current (IZT). Its zener impedance is specified at 11 Ω (ZZT) and 750 Ω (ZZK), indicating stable regulation under both nominal and knee-region bias conditions.
Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (ΘJL) that varies with lead length - e.g., ~40°C/W at 0.375" (9.5 mm) - and supports steady-state dissipation up to 2 W at TL = 75°C with appropriate PCB copper pad area (10 mm × 10 mm).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | 12 V nominal, 1 W rating, DO-41 package, no AEC-Q101 option | Limited to lower-power, non-automotive applications due to reduced power handling and thermal rating | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs power/temperature requirements and AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
| BZX55C18 | 18 V nominal, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package, ±5% tolerance, RoHS compliant | Suitable only for low-current signal-level clamping; insufficient for 2 W surge or industrial rail protection | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 18 V regulation suffices and thermal margin is not critical |
Compared with 1N4742A and BZX55C18, the 2M19Z delivers higher power dissipation (2 W vs. 1 W/0.5 W), superior thermal capability (+175°C TJ), and optional AEC-Q101 qualification - making it uniquely suited for automotive and industrial environments demanding sustained reliability under electrical and thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for 2M19Z?
The 2M19Z has a standard zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 26.3 mA test current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This tolerance applies to the nominal 19 V breakdown voltage 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 variants.
Is 2M19Z suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the 2M19Z is offered in an AEC-Q101 qualified variant (2M19ZH) that meets stress test requirements for automotive powertrain and body electronics. The base 2M19Z shares identical electrical and thermal specifications, but only the "H" suffix version is certified. Its 175°C maximum junction temperature and glass-passivated junction support under-hood deployment.
What is the maximum non-repetitive surge current for 2M19Z?
The 2M19Z supports a maximum non-repetitive surge peak forward current (IFSM) of 15 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave, per JEDEC standards. This rating assumes mounting on a 10 mm × 10 mm Cu-Pad PCB at TL = 75°C. Surge capability is validated for load dump and inductive switching event suppression in 12 V systems.
How does the zener impedance of 2M19Z affect regulation stability?
The 2M19Z exhibits 11 Ω maximum zener impedance (ZZT) at 26.3 mA, ensuring minimal output voltage deviation (<0.3 V) under ±10 mA load changes. This low dynamic impedance directly improves regulation accuracy in feedback networks and reference supplies, especially when paired with low-noise op-amps or precision ADCs in sensor interfaces.
What packaging options are available for 2M19Z?
The 2M19Z is supplied in DO-204AC (DO-15) package with three packing formats: 3,500 units per tape-and-reel (2M19Z or 2M19ZH), 1,500 units per ammo box (2M19Z A0G or 2M19ZHA0G), and 3,500 units per tape-and-reel with halogen-free marking (2M19ZH). All versions use pure tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
