Product details
Overview
RD30F(N)-T6 from Renesas Electronics is a 1 W planar-type silicon Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 30 V (B grade: 29.57–31.26 V), dynamic impedance of 18 Ω at 10 mA, and temperature coefficient of +23 mV/°C. It features DO-41 glass-sealed DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) packaging, operates up to 175°C junction temperature, and is rated for 400 W surge reverse power at 10 μs pulse width. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in DC power supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD30F(N)-T6 datasheet, RD30F(N)-T6 pinout, RD30F(N)-T6 application, or RD30F(N)-T6 equivalent, this device is selected for stable 30 V regulation in industrial power supplies, ESD-protected sensor interfaces, and transient-suppressed I/O protection where low dynamic impedance and tight voltage tolerance are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs a planar diffusion structure with glass passivation and a double heatsink (DHD) lead frame to enhance thermal dissipation and long-term stability. Its zener voltage is specified under 40 ms test conditions at 10 mA, and its positive temperature coefficient (+23 mV/°C) indicates increasing Vz with rising temperature - a key factor when used in temperature-compensated reference designs.
The device complies with JEDEC DO-41 mechanical standards and is rated for 1 W steady-state power dissipation at 25°C ambient, derating linearly above 25°C per Figure 1 in the datasheet. Its 400 W surge rating at 10 μs enables robust transient suppression without external crowbar components in moderate-energy surge environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.57–31.26 V at IZ = 10 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 30 V rail protection |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 18 Ω max at IZ = 10 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load current variation |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 1.0 W at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 to +175°C - supports operation in harsh industrial environments including motor drives and factory automation |
| Surge Reverse Power (PRSM) | 400 W at t = 10 μs - provides single-pulse transient immunity compliant with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 10 μA max at VR = 23 V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | +23 mV/°C typical - enables predictable VZ drift for temperature-aware compensation schemes |
Pinout & Package
RD30F(N)-T6 uses a standard DO-41 axial glass package with cathode indicated 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 | Connected to lower potential side in reverse-biased Zener operation; carries forward current up to 200 mA |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked with black band; connected to higher potential side during regulation; defines VZ reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide zener voltage range (2–82 V) | Enables standardized BOM across multiple voltage rails using same footprint and thermal profile |
| E24 series nominal values | Ensures compatibility with common resistor ladder and feedback network design practices |
| DO-41 glass-sealed DHD structure | Provides superior thermal resistance vs. plastic packages - critical for sustained 1 W operation |
| Positive temperature coefficient (+23 mV/°C) | Allows pairing with negative-coefficient devices (e.g., transistors) to achieve near-zero TC references |
| 400 W surge rating (10 μs) | Eliminates need for parallel TVS in many industrial I/O protection applications |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5256BRLG (onsemi) | 30 V nominal, 100 mW rating, DO-35 package, ZZ = 35 Ω @ 10 mA | Lower power and higher impedance limit use to low-current bias/reference only | Select only for space-constrained PCBs where <100 mW dissipation suffices |
| BZX85C30 (Nexperia) | 30 V nominal, 1.3 W rating, DO-41 package, ZZ = 30 Ω @ 5 mA, γZ = +25 mV/°C | Higher power but higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation precision under load | Prefer when higher surge margin is needed but tighter VZ tolerance is secondary |
Compared with RD30F(N)-T6, the 1N5256BRLG offers smaller footprint but insufficient power and regulation performance for industrial 1 W applications, while the BZX85C30 matches power and package but trades 67% higher dynamic impedance - impacting voltage stability in current-sensitive feedback loops.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for RD30F(N)-T6 at 10 mA test current?
The RD30F(N)-T6 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 29.57 V to 31.26 V when measured at IZ = 10 mA and 40 ms after power-on, per the B grade specification in Renesas datasheet D13936EJ5V0DS. This ±2.7% tolerance reflects manufacturing spread within the E24 series and is validated per JEDEC test conditions.
Does RD30F(N)-T6 support surface-mount assembly?
No, RD30F(N)-T6 uses a through-hole DO-41 axial glass package with radial leads and is not compatible with SMT reflow or wave soldering processes. Its mechanical dimensions and glass body require manual or selective soldering; Renesas does not offer an SMD variant of this specific part number.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1 W operation of RD30F(N)-T6?
RD30F(N)-T6 can dissipate 1 W continuously only at TA ≤ 25°C. Above 25°C, power must be linearly derated - e.g., to ~0.5 W at 75°C - based on the thermal resistance curve in Figure 1 of the datasheet. Full 1 W operation requires heatsinking or forced-air cooling beyond 25°C ambient.
How does the +23 mV/°C temperature coefficient of RD30F(N)-T6 affect circuit stability?
The +23 mV/°C temperature coefficient means RD30F(N)-T6's zener voltage increases by approximately 23 mV per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature. In unbuffered reference designs, this causes measurable drift - e.g., +230 mV over 10°C - requiring compensation if sub-0.1% stability is required across temperature.
Is RD30F(N)-T6 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, RD30F(N)-T6 conforms to EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free. Renesas confirms compliance in environmental documentation referenced via their website (http://www.renesas.com/inquiry), and the device carries appropriate marking per JEDEC J-STD-609 classification.
