Product details
Overview
RD10ES-T4-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a 10 V, 400 mW DO-34 glass-sealed Zener diode with DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction, ±5% zener voltage tolerance at 7 mA, 15 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.2 µA reverse leakage at 7.6 V - used for precision voltage reference and surge suppression in power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD10ES-T4-AZ datasheet, RD10ES-T4-Az pinout, RD10ES-T4-AZ application, or RD10ES-T4-AZ equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-leakage, through-hole voltage clamp in industrial power rails, analog sensor biasing, and overvoltage protection where thermal robustness and JEDEC-standard DO-34 compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 10 V at test current IZ = 7 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +6.0 mV/°C and knee impedance ZZK ≤ 150 Ω at IZK = 0.5 mA. Its DHD construction enables enhanced thermal dissipation within the compact DO-34 package.
The device supports surge reverse power up to 100 W for 10 µs pulses and maintains junction temperature limits up to 175°C. It complies with E24 standard voltage grading and is rated for Standard quality grade applications including office equipment, industrial robots, and test instrumentation.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.19–10.30 V at IZ = 7 mA - defines stable clamping threshold for voltage regulation |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 400 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 15 Ω typical at IZ = 7 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.2 µA max at VR = 7.6 V - guarantees low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |

Pinout & Package
RD10ES-T4-AZ is a two-terminal axial lead diode in DO-34 glass package (body length ≤ 2.4 mm, diameter ≤ 2.0 mm), with cathode indicated by black band. No internal pin numbering applies - anode and cathode are defined by physical polarity only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased Zener configuration |
| Cathode (black band end) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; defines clamping reference point |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4740A | 10 V, 1 W, DO-41 package, 17 Ω ZZ, 5 µA IR at 7.6 V | Higher power but larger footprint and higher leakage - suitable where board space permits | Prefer when >400 mW continuous dissipation is needed; not drop-in due to DO-41 vs. DO-34 mechanical mismatch |
| BZX55C10 | 10 V, 500 mW, DO-35 package, 20 Ω ZZ, 5 µA IR at 7.6 V | Higher power rating but different thermal profile and slightly looser tolerance (±5% vs. ±5.5%) | Consider for cost-sensitive designs where DO-35 insertion tooling exists; requires layout review for thermal relief |
Compared with RD10ES-T4-AZ, 1N4740A offers higher power but larger size and higher leakage, while BZX55C10 provides marginally higher dissipation in a different package - RD10ES-T4-AZ remains optimal for space-constrained, low-leakage DO-34-restricted designs requiring tight thermal response.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of RD10ES-T4-AZ?
The RD10ES-T4-AZ has a zener voltage range of 9.19 V to 10.30 V at IZ = 7 mA, corresponding to ±5.5% tolerance about the nominal 10 V rating. This tolerance is specified per E24 standard and verified under pulse test conditions (40 ms duration), ensuring repeatability in production calibration.
Does RD10ES-T4-AZ support surge protection applications?
Yes, RD10ES-T4-AZ supports non-repetitive surge suppression with a rated surge reverse power of 100 W at pulse width t = 10 µs. Its DHD construction and low thermal resistance enable reliable energy absorption without junction failure, making it suitable for IEC 61000-4-2 level 3 ESD clamping when properly heat-sunk.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for RD10ES-T4-AZ?
The RD10ES-T4-AZ is rated for a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 175°C. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat-generating components, provided PCB copper area and airflow meet thermal resistance requirements outlined in Figure 7 of the datasheet.
Is RD10ES-T4-AZ RoHS compliant?
RD10ES-T4-AZ meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. The DO-34 glass package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and all materials comply with restricted substance thresholds for cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
How does the DHD construction improve thermal performance of RD10ES-T4-AZ?
The DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction in RD10ES-T4-AZ uses dual internal thermal paths to reduce junction-to-ambient thermal resistance by approximately 25% versus conventional DO-34 diodes. This enables higher sustained power dissipation at elevated ambient temperatures, as validated in Figure 6 of the datasheet.
