Product details
Overview
RD2.0MW-T1B-A from Renesas Electronics is a 200 mW, 3-pin Mini Mold (SC-59) dual-cathode zener diode with nominal zener voltage 2.0 V (±5% tolerance, Class B), 100 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, and 0.5 V reverse leakage threshold - used for precision voltage reference, ESD protection, and waveform clipping in low-power analog signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the RD2.0MW-T1B-A datasheet, RD2.0MW-T1B-A pinout, RD2.0MW-T1B-A application, or RD2.0MW-T1B-A equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-cathode configuration (K1/K2), 200 mW power rating, 120 Ω max dynamic impedance, 150°C junction temperature limit, and SC-59 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device implements a monolithic dual-zener structure in a single SC-59 package, enabling bidirectional clamping or independent cathode referencing. Its E24-standardized 2.0 V zener voltage supports stable biasing in low-voltage logic interfaces and sensor conditioning circuits.
The RD2.0MW-T1B-A operates within a –55°C to +150°C storage range and delivers 85 W surge absorption capability at 10 µs pulse width. It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient below 5 V, with typical γZ of –0.06 %/°C, making it suitable for ambient-stable reference applications where thermal drift must be minimized.
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 2.0 V rail regulation |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Power Dissipation P | 200 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in standard PCB layout |
| Peak Reverse Power PRSM | 85 W at t = 10 µs - enables robust transient suppression against ESD and fast surges |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤100 µA at VR = 0.5 V - guarantees low standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150°C maximum - determines thermal derating curve for operation above 25°C ambient |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤0.35 V at IF = 5 mA - supports low-loss forward conduction in dual-cathode clamp configurations |
Pinout & Package
RD2.0MW-T1B-A uses the SC-59 (EIAJ) 3-pin Mini Mold package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.1–1.4 mm height, with gull-wing leads and standardized marking orientation (K2 on pin 2, K1 on pin 1, A on pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | First Cathode | Enables independent zener operation between Anode and K1; used for primary clamping path |
| 2 (K2) | Second Cathode | Provides second zener junction for bidirectional protection or dual-reference generation |
| 3 (A) | Anode | Common anode terminal shared by both zener junctions; connects to ground or low-side reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-cathode monolithic construction | Enables compact bidirectional clamping without discrete diode pairing or board space penalty |
| E24-standardized zener voltage | Ensures interchangeability across design revisions and supplier sourcing without recalibration |
| 85 W surge absorption (10 µs) | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity requirements when properly decoupled |
| SC-59 surface-mount package | Supports 0.65 mm lead pitch reflow assembly and automated optical inspection (AOI) |
| Negative temperature coefficient (–0.06 %/°C) | Compensates for positive drift in associated circuitry, improving overall thermal stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5221BS | Single-cathode, 2.0 V, 225 mW, SOT-23 package; no dual-cathode functionality | Requires two devices for bidirectional clamping; larger board footprint | Select when only unidirectional regulation is needed and SOT-23 footprint is preferred |
| Vishay SMBZ5221B | Single-cathode, 2.0 V, 350 mW, DO-214AA package; higher power but through-hole or larger SMD | Not suitable for space-constrained 3-pin Mini Mold layouts; lacks K1/K2 terminal separation | Select when higher surge energy handling (>85 W) is required and board area permits larger package |
Compared with MMBZ5221BS and SMBZ5221B, RD2.0MW-T1B-A uniquely integrates dual cathodes in SC-59, enabling true bidirectional clamping in minimal area - critical for USB, sensor, and low-voltage logic protection where layout density and symmetry matter.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for RD2.0MW-T1B-A?
The RD2.0MW-T1B-A has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 1.90 V to 2.20 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to ±5% tolerance per E24 standard. This specification is verified per Renesas Data Sheet D10247EJ5V0DS00, Section "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS", and applies to all units shipped under this part number.
Does RD2.0MW-T1B-A support bidirectional ESD protection out of the box?
Yes - RD2.0MW-T1B-A integrates two independent zener junctions sharing a common anode (pin 3), with dedicated cathodes on pins 1 (K1) and 2 (K2). This allows symmetrical clamping between either cathode and the anode, enabling true bidirectional transient suppression without external components.
What is the maximum allowable surge pulse width for RD2.0MW-T1B-A at 85 W?
The 85 W peak reverse power rating for RD2.0MW-T1B-A is specified at a pulse width of 10 µs (t = 10 µs), as defined in the "MAXIMUM RATINGS" table of Renesas Data Sheet D10247EJ5V0DS00. Longer pulses require derating per the Fig. 6 Surge Reverse Power Ratings curve.
Can RD2.0MW-T1B-A be used as a replacement for standard 1N4728A in 3.3 V regulator feedback loops?
No - RD2.0MW-T1B-A is rated for 2.0 V nominal zener voltage and 200 mW dissipation, whereas 1N4728A is a 3.3 V, 1 W device. Substituting RD2.0MW-T1B-A would cause severe regulation failure. It is not a functional or electrical replacement for 1N4728A; use only in 2.0 V reference or clamping roles as specified in its datasheet.
Is RD2.0MW-T1B-A compliant with RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes - RD2.0MW-T1B-A conforms to EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and supports lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Renesas confirms environmental compliance in its product change notices and material declarations, and the device is marked "Pb-Free" in official packaging documentation.
