Product details
Overview
RD33ES-T1 from Renesas Electronics is a 33 V, 400 mW DO-34 glass-sealed Zener diode with DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction, ±5% zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, 65 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.2 µA reverse leakage at 25 V, used for precision voltage regulation and surge suppression in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD33ES-T1 datasheet, RD33ES-T1 pinout, RD33ES-T1 application, or RD33ES-T1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC DO-34 package details, and direct alternatives for constant-voltage reference, waveform clipping, and transient protection design.
Technical Context
The RD33ES-T1 operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device using planar silicon junction technology. Its DHD construction enables enhanced thermal dissipation through dual heatsinking paths within the DO-34 glass package, supporting stable 33 V regulation across ambient temperatures up to +125°C before derating.
It exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.055 %/°C (≈+18 mV/°C), confirmed in Fig. 9 of D13935EJ7V0DS, and maintains ≤0.2 µA reverse current at VR = 25 V - critical for low-leakage bias networks and high-impedance sensing interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 32.14–33.79 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 33 V reference designs |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 65 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 400 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in free-air conditions |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.2 µA max at VR = 25 V - guarantees negligible current draw in standby or high-Z monitoring nodes |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 100 W non-repetitive (t = 10 µs) - supports transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction Temp (Tj) | 175°C max - allows operation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures with proper PCB copper area |
| Package | DO-34 (JEDEC) - 2.4 mm max body length, 5 mm lead pitch, glass-sealed, axial leads for through-hole mounting |
Pinout & Package
RD33ES-T1 uses a standard two-terminal DO-34 axial package: anode and cathode are identified by a black band marking on the cathode end. The device has no active control pins - terminals serve only as bidirectional conduction path with reverse-biased zener breakdown function.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit common or lower-potential rail; establishes reference polarity for regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Output voltage node | Marked with black band; supplies regulated 33 V when reverse biased above VZ threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DHD Construction | Enables 400 mW dissipation in compact DO-34 package via dual thermal paths to PCB leads |
| E24 Standard VZ | 33 V nominal aligns with IEC 60063 E24 series - simplifies BOM consolidation and sourcing |
| Planar Process | Ensures repeatable VZ tolerance (±5%), low ZZK knee impedance, and stable long-term drift |
| Short Lead Pitch | 5 mm center-to-center lead spacing - supports dense PCB layouts without lead bending |
| High Surge Rating | 100 W peak pulse (10 µs) - protects downstream ICs from ESD and inductive kick events |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A-T | Same 33 V nominal, but 1 W rating, DO-41 package, 10 Ω ZZ, higher IR (1 µA @ 25 V) | Better for higher-power regulation; less suitable for ultra-low-leakage bias networks | Select when >400 mW continuous dissipation or lower dynamic impedance is required |
| BZX55-C33 | 33 V, 500 mW, DO-35 package, ±5% tolerance, 70 Ω ZZ, 0.1 µA IR @ 25 V | Smaller footprint, slightly tighter IR spec, but lower surge rating (50 W) | Prefer for space-constrained boards where 50 W surge margin suffices and DO-35 is acceptable |
Compared with RD33ES-T1, 1N4733A-T offers higher power and lower impedance but requires PCB layout changes due to DO-41 size and higher leakage; BZX55-C33 matches leakage performance and fits tighter spaces but sacrifices surge robustness and thermal mass for transient clamping.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD33ES-T1 at 5 mA test current?
The RD33ES-T1 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 32.14 V to 33.79 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C, per the AB2 suffix specification in Renesas datasheet D13935EJ7V0DS. This ±5% tolerance reflects E24 standard compliance and applies strictly under pulsed 40 ms test conditions.
Does RD33ES-T1 support surface-mount assembly?
No, RD33ES-T1 is exclusively offered in the axial DO-34 glass package with through-hole leads. It is not available in SMD variants such as SOD-123 or DO-213AB. Designers requiring surface-mount compatibility must select alternative parts like BZX55-C33 (DO-35) or MMBZ5256BLT1G (SOT-23).
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature before power derating begins for RD33ES-T1?
RD33ES-T1 maintains full 400 mW power dissipation up to TA = 25°C. Derating begins linearly beyond that point, reaching zero dissipation at TA = 175°C, as shown in Fig. 6 of D13935EJ7V0DS. At 75°C ambient, usable power drops to approximately 250 mW.
How does the temperature coefficient of RD33ES-T1 affect its regulation accuracy over temperature?
RD33ES-T1 has a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.055 %/°C (≈+18 mV/°C), meaning its VZ increases ~18 mV per °C rise. Over a –40°C to +85°C range, this introduces up to ±2.25 V drift - a key consideration for precision references, mitigated by using it in temperature-stable environments or with compensation networks.
Can RD33ES-T1 be used in place of a 33 V TVS diode for ESD protection?
RD33ES-T1 is not rated or characterized as a TVS diode. While it clamps at ~33 V and handles 100 W surges (10 µs), its response time, capacitance, and reliability under repetitive ESD stress are unspecified. For certified IEC 61000-4-2 protection, dedicated TVS devices like P6KE33CA are recommended instead of RD33ES-T1.
