Product details
Overview
RD2.2F-T6-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a 1 W planar-type silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 2.2 V (B2 grade: 2.21–2.45 V), dynamic impedance ≤20 Ω at 40 mA, and negative temperature coefficient of −2.0 mV/°C - designed for precision voltage reference and low-voltage clamping in power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD2.2F-T6-AZ datasheet, RD2.2F-T6-AZ pinout, RD2.2F-T6-AZ application, or RD2.2F-T6-AZ equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-voltage shunt regulator in DC-DC feedback paths, overvoltage protection networks, and waveform limiting stages where tight tolerance and thermal stability below 3 V are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified test current of 40 mA and maintains regulation across ambient temperatures from −65°C to +175°C. Its DO-41 glass-sealed package enables reliable heat dissipation up to 1 W at 25°C, derating linearly above that ambient per Figure 1.
The device exhibits a surge reverse power rating of 400 W for 10 μs pulses and features a cathode-indicated marking (black band) on the axial body. Its E24-series voltage grading ensures compatibility with standard BOM consolidation practices for low-voltage Zener families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.21–2.45 V at IZ = 40 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for sub-3 V rail stabilization |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 1.0 W at TA = 25°C - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts with adequate copper area |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | ≤20 Ω at IZ = 40 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −2.0 mV/°C - provides predictable, compensatable drift in temperature-sensitive references |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤200 μA at VR = 0.7 V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - allows operation in industrial environments with localized heating |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 400 W for t = 10 μs - absorbs transient spikes without degradation in ESD or inductive kick scenarios |
Pinout & Package
RD2.2F-T6-AZ uses a DO-41 axial glass package (JEDEC standard), with cathode identified by a black band. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode - no internal connections or multi-pin configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node in shunt regulator | Connected to system ground or lower-potential rail; carries forward current up to 200 mA |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Regulated output node | Marked with black band; connected to input rail via series resistor; holds voltage at VZ when reverse-biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar-type DHD structure | Enables consistent breakdown characteristics and long-term stability under thermal cycling |
| E24-series voltage grading | Supports standardized BOM management across 2–82 V Zener family with predictable parametric spacing |
| 1 W power rating in DO-41 | Delivers higher power density than legacy 500 mW Zeners, reducing need for parallel devices |
| Negative γZ at 2.2 V | Compensates for positive TC of other components (e.g., op-amp inputs) in precision analog circuits |
| DO-41 mechanical robustness | Withstands board-level thermal stress and vibration in industrial control and instrumentation |
Applications
| Low-Voltage Power Supply Reference | ESD Protection Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback node of a 3.3 V LDO or buck converter operating near dropout. IC Role / Device Role: Shunt voltage reference providing fixed 2.2 V threshold to comparator or error amplifier input. Use Value: Maintains regulation accuracy within ±5% over −40°C to +85°C due to known γZ and low ZZ. |
Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins against ±8 kV HBM ESD events. IC Role / Device Role: Low-capacitance clamp diverting surge current to ground before IC damage occurs. Use Value: Activates at 2.45 V (max), limiting pin voltage well below absolute maximum ratings of 5.5 V tolerant GPIOs. |
| Waveform Limiter in Sensor Signal Chain | Overvoltage Detection Threshold |
Use Scenario: Conditioning analog output of a 0–2.5 V pressure sensor feeding an ADC. IC Role / Device Role: Hard clipping element preventing ADC saturation during sensor overrange or noise spikes. Use Value: Sharp knee at 2.2 V ensures clean limiting without signal distortion in 12-bit measurement systems. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring 3.3 V system rail for brownout or overvoltage conditions. IC Role / Device Role: Input to voltage supervisor IC (e.g., TLV809) configured as 2.2 V reset threshold detector. Use Value: Enables accurate, temperature-compensated trip point using external resistor divider scaling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4728A | Zener voltage 3.3 V (±5%), P = 1 W, ZZ = 10 Ω @ 76 mA, DO-41 | Higher VZ shifts use case to 3.3 V rail regulation; not suitable for sub-2.5 V clamping | Select only if circuit requires ≥3.3 V reference and can accommodate higher thermal drift (+2.5 mV/°C) |
| BZX55-C2V4 | Zener voltage 2.4 V (±5%), P = 500 mW, ZZ = 100 Ω @ 5 mA, DO-35 | Lower power rating limits sustained current handling; higher ZZ degrades regulation under load | Acceptable for low-current biasing but not for 40 mA regulation or surge absorption |
Compared with RD2.2F-T6-AZ, the 1N4728A offers tighter ZZ but at incompatible voltage and opposite temperature drift, while BZX55-C2V4 sacrifices power capability and dynamic performance for smaller footprint - making RD2.2F-T6-AZ uniquely suited for 2.2 V, 1 W, thermally stable shunt regulation.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD2.2F-T6-AZ?
The RD2.2F-T6-AZ has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 2.21 V to 2.45 V at 40 mA test current (B2 grade), as specified in the Renesas D13936EJ5V0DS datasheet. This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures consistent clamping behavior in low-voltage regulation circuits where precision below 2.5 V is critical.
Is RD2.2F-T6-AZ RoHS compliant?
Yes, RD2.2F-T6-AZ meets EU RoHS Directive requirements. Renesas confirms environmental compliance for this device in its official documentation and product change notices. No lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances exceed allowable thresholds, supporting use in consumer and industrial electronics sold in regulated markets.
What package type does RD2.2F-T6-AZ use?
RD2.2F-T6-AZ uses the DO-41 axial glass package per JEDEC standards, with overall dimensions of φ3.0 mm max diameter and 25 mm min length. The cathode is marked by a black band, and the device is mechanically rated for standard wave soldering and hand assembly processes without special handling.
Can RD2.2F-T6-AZ replace RD2.0F in existing designs?
RD2.2F-T6-AZ is not a direct replacement for RD2.0F due to differing zener voltage ranges: RD2.0F specifies 1.88–2.25 V (B2), while RD2.2F-T6-AZ is 2.21–2.45 V. Substituting may shift regulation points by up to 250 mV, affecting loop stability or protection thresholds - validation of system-level performance is required before interchange.
What is the maximum surge power rating for RD2.2F-T6-AZ?
RD2.2F-T6-AZ supports a surge reverse power rating of 400 W for pulse widths of 10 μs, as defined in Figure 7 of the D13936EJ5V0DS datasheet. This enables reliable suppression of fast transients such as ESD, relay coil flyback, or switching noise without permanent parameter shift or junction failure.
