Product details
Overview
RD2.0M-T2B-A from Renesas Electronics is a 2.0 V, ±5% tolerance, 200 mW planar zener diode in SC-59 (JEITA) 3-pin mini-mold package, optimized for precision voltage reference and low-power surge suppression in signal conditioning and power rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD2.0M-T2B-A datasheet, RD2.0M-T2B-A pinout, RD2.0M-T2B-A application, or RD2.0M-T2B-A equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-noise shunt regulator with 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, suitable for constant-voltage biasing, waveform clipping, and transient overvoltage protection in consumer and industrial electronics.
Technical Context
The RD2.0M-T2B-A operates as a silicon planar zener diode with a nominal breakdown voltage of 2.0 V, conforming to E24 standard voltage grading. Its zener mechanism provides predictable reverse-biased conduction with tight VZ tolerance (±5%) and low temperature coefficient (−0.06 %/°C typical).
Designed for DC and low-frequency regulation, it supports continuous forward current up to 100 mA and withstands peak reverse surge power of 100 W for 10 μs pulses. Junction temperature is rated to 150°C, enabling reliable operation in ambient temperatures from −55°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 1.90–2.20 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for low-voltage reference circuits |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 100 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 200 mW at TA = 25°C - sets thermal design limit for PCB trace width and copper area |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 120 μA max at VR = 0.5 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C maximum - determines derating curve for operation above 25°C ambient |
| Package | SC-59 (JEITA) 3-pin mini-mold - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated placement |
| Peak Reverse Power (PRSM) | 100 W for tT = 10 μs - enables robust transient suppression against ESD and switching spikes |
Pinout & Package
RD2.0M-T2B-A uses the SC-59 (JEITA) 3-pin mini-mold package: compact 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint with 0.95 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is NC (no connection), Pin 2 is anode (A), Pin 3 is cathode (K). The marking "A" on top identifies orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | No Connection (NC) | Electrically isolated; must not be soldered to PCB traces or planes |
| Pin 2 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in zener regulation configuration |
| Pin 3 | Cathode (K) | Zener breakdown terminal; connects to higher-potential node and load return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar process construction | Ensures consistent VZ distribution and long-term stability across production lots |
| E24-standard zener voltage | Enables interoperability with industry-standard resistor and capacitor value series in feedback networks |
| Low temperature coefficient | −0.06 %/°C typical minimizes drift in battery-powered or unregulated supply applications |
| 200 mW power rating | Supports direct replacement of legacy 1/4 W through-hole zeners without board redesign |
| SC-59 package compatibility | Matches JEDEC TO-236AB footprint for drop-in use in space-constrained SMT layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C2V0 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 2.0 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance and 500 mW rating in DO-35 package | Larger thermal mass suits higher average power; axial lead form requires through-hole assembly | Select when board space allows DO-35 and higher steady-state dissipation is needed |
| MMSZ4678 (Diodes Inc.) | 2.0 V VZ, ±5%, 300 mW in SOD-123; 60 Ω ZZ at 5 mA vs. 100 Ω for RD2.0M-T2B-A | Lower dynamic impedance improves regulation in fast-transient environments; smaller footprint than SC-59 | Prefer for high-speed signal clamping where tighter VZ stability under dynamic load is critical |
Compared with BZX55C2V0 and MMSZ4678, RD2.0M-T2B-A offers JEDEC-standard SC-59 packaging for automated SMT placement, balanced trade-offs between thermal performance and board density, and proven reliability in Renesas' 200 mW planar zener family used across decades of industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for RD2.0M-T2B-A?
The RD2.0M-T2B-A has a zener voltage range of 1.90 V to 2.20 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 2.0 V rating. This tolerance is guaranteed per the B-class specification in the official Renesas datasheet D14716EJ7V0DS, and applies across the full operating temperature range of −55°C to +150°C.
Can RD2.0M-T2B-A be used in place of a 1N4728A?
No - RD2.0M-T2B-A is not a functional substitute for 1N4728A. While both are 3.3 V zener diodes, RD2.0M-T2B-A is specifically rated at 2.0 V. The 1N4728A has a nominal VZ of 3.3 V and 1 W power rating in DO-41 package. RD2.0M-T2B-A's 2.0 V rating, 200 mW dissipation, and SC-59 package make it incompatible for direct replacement in 3.3 V circuits.
What is the maximum reverse surge capability of RD2.0M-T2B-A?
RD2.0M-T2B-A supports a peak reverse surge power (PRSM) of 100 W for pulse width tT = 10 μs at TA = 25°C. This rating is defined in the "Maximum Ratings" table of the Renesas datasheet and reflects its suitability for absorbing short-duration transients such as ESD events or inductive switch-off spikes without degradation.
Is RD2.0M-T2B-A RoHS compliant?
Yes - RD2.0M-T2B-A meets EU RoHS Directive requirements. Renesas Electronics confirms environmental compliance for this product family in accordance with applicable regulations, including restriction of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. Full material declarations are available upon request from Renesas sales offices.
What does the "T2B-A" suffix indicate in RD2.0M-T2B-A?
The "T2B-A" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (T2), JEITA-standard SC-59 package variant (B), and Renesas internal revision/traceability code (A). It does not affect electrical specifications - all RD2.0M-T2B-A units share identical zener voltage, impedance, and thermal characteristics as defined in the RD2.0M series datasheet D14716EJ7V0DS.
