Product details
Overview
RD3.0S-T1 from Renesas Electronics is a 400 mW DO-34 glass-sealed Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 3.0 V (2.85–3.22 V at IZ = 5 mA), dynamic impedance ≤50 Ω, and maximum reverse current of 1.0 µA at VR = 0.5 V - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD3.0S-T1 datasheet, RD3.0S-T1 pinout, RD3.0S-T1 application, or RD3.0S-T1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, JEDEC DO-34 package details, and real-world use cases for constant-voltage regulation and surge suppression in industrial control and sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The RD3.0S-T1 employs planar silicon construction with DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) design to achieve 400 mW steady-state power dissipation and 100 W non-repetitive surge capability (t = 10 µs). Its zener voltage exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 3.0 V, confirmed by Fig. 9 in D13935EJ7V0DS.
It operates within a junction temperature range of –65°C to +175°C and supports stable regulation at test current IZ = 5 mA, with knee impedance ZZK ≤120 Ω and reverse leakage IR ≤1.0 µA at VR = 0.5 V - enabling reliable low-current biasing and waveform clipping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.85–3.22 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.0 V reference designs |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | ≤50 Ω - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 400 mW - supports continuous operation on standard PCB land patterns without forced cooling |
| Surge Reverse Power (PRSM) | 100 W (t = 10 µs) - provides transient overvoltage protection in ESD-prone interfaces |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1.0 µA at VR = 0.5 V - enables low-leakage bias networks in battery-powered sensors |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –65°C to +175°C - allows deployment in extended-temperature industrial environments |
| Package | DO-34 (JEDEC) - 2.4 mm max body length, 5 mm lead pitch, glass-sealed for hermetic reliability |
Pinout & Package
RD3.0S-T1 uses the standard DO-34 axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by a black band. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel; no internal termination differences exist between anode and cathode beyond polarity marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unmarked end) | Forward conduction terminal | Connects to lower-potential node in reverse-biased zener configuration |
| Cathode (black band) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connects to higher-potential node; voltage referenced to this point during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DHD construction | Enables 400 mW dissipation in compact DO-34 outline via dual thermal path to PCB pads |
| Planar process | Delivers consistent VZ tolerance and low parametric drift across production lots |
| E24-standard VZ | Ensures compatibility with common resistor-divider networks and legacy reference designs |
| DO-34 glass seal | Provides moisture resistance and long-term stability in humid or thermally cycled environments |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Low-Power Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4728A | Same 3.3 V nominal VZ, but wider tolerance (±5%), higher ZZ (10 Ω typical), 1.0 W rating | Higher power handling; less precise regulation; requires larger footprint | Select only if >400 mW steady-state dissipation or looser VZ tolerance is acceptable |
| BZX55C3V0 | 3.0 V nominal VZ, ±5% tolerance, ZZ ≤35 Ω, DO-35 package (3.6 mm body) | Smaller thermal mass; slightly lower surge rating (50 W); same PCB pad compatibility | Prefer when board space is constrained and 50 W surge margin suffices |
Compared with 1N4728A and BZX55C3V0, RD3.0S-T1 offers tighter VZ tolerance (±6.4% vs ±5%), lower leakage (1.0 µA vs 50 µA), and optimized thermal performance in DO-34 - making it preferable for precision low-power analog references where stability and leakage dominate selection criteria.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD3.0S-T1 at 5 mA test current?
The RD3.0S-T1 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 2.85 V to 3.22 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C, per Electrical Characteristics table in Renesas datasheet D13935EJ7V0DS. This corresponds to a ±6.4% tolerance around the nominal 3.0 V rating, and the value remains stable across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does RD3.0S-T1 meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, RD3.0S-T1 complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements. As a Renesas Electronics product manufactured after the April 2010 merger and documented in D13935EJ7V0DS, it contains no restricted substances above allowable thresholds. Full compliance documentation is available through Renesas' environmental portal and authorized distribution partners.
Can RD3.0S-T1 be used in place of RD3.0ES?
RD3.0S-T1 is functionally identical to RD3.0ES in electrical specification, package (DO-34), and marking - both share the same VZ range (2.85–3.22 V), ZZ ≤50 Ω, and 400 mW rating. The "S" suffix denotes Renesas' post-merger part numbering convention; RD3.0S-T1 supersedes RD3.0ES with no design changes required.
What is the maximum allowable surge reverse power for RD3.0S-T1?
The RD3.0S-T1 supports a non-repetitive surge reverse power of 100 W at pulse width t = 10 µs, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and illustrated in Fig. 10 of D13935EJ7V0DS. This rating applies only to single-event transients; repetitive surges must respect derated average power limits defined by thermal resistance curves in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7.
Is RD3.0S-T1 rated for automotive applications?
No, RD3.0S-T1 is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' quality grading system, intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, and industrial robots - not transportation or safety-critical systems. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification and is not recommended for under-hood automotive use without additional validation and derating.
