Product details
Overview
RD39ES-T1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a 39 V, 400 mW DO-34 glass-sealed Zener diode with DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction, ±5% zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, and 85 Ω dynamic impedance, used for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits and surge protection in signal line interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the RD39ES-T1-AZ datasheet, RD39ES-T1-AZ pinout, RD39ES-T1-AZ application, or RD39ES-T1-AZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, JEDEC DO-34 package details, and real-world use cases in constant-voltage reference and transient suppression designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal zener voltage of 39 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.075 %/°C (≈+29.3 mV/°C) per Fig. 9. Its DHD construction enables dual thermal paths to the PCB leads, improving power handling beyond standard DO-34 devices.
The device supports non-repetitive surge reverse power up to 100 W for 10 µs pulses (Fig. 10), and its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance drops from 375 °C/W at t = 1 ms to ~100 °C/W at steady state on a 7 mm² PCB (Fig. 7), confirming effective heatsinking via lead termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 35.36–37.19 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation window under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation P | 400 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power in free-air operation |
| Dynamic Impedance ZZ | 85 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Current IR | 0.2 µA at VR = 30 V - ensures minimal leakage below breakdown in standby circuits |
| Surge Power PRSM | 100 W (t = 10 µs) - enables clamping of fast transients without failure |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 175°C - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with proper derating |
| Package | DO-34 (JEDEC) - 2.4 mm max body length, 5 mm lead pitch, glass-sealed, axial-leaded |
Pinout & Package
RD39ES-T1-AZ uses a two-terminal axial DO-34 glass package. Cathode is marked by a black band near one lead end. No internal circuitry or polarity-sensitive terminals beyond anode/cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reverse breakdown reference node | Connected to lower-potential side in zener regulator; forms cathode-referenced voltage clamp |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / Zener voltage reference node | Marked with black band; connected to higher-potential side; output voltage referenced to this node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DHD construction | Dual heatsink path through both axial leads reduces thermal resistance by ~25% vs. standard DO-34 |
| Planar process | Enables tight VZ tolerance (±5%) and stable long-term voltage drift (<1% over 1000 hrs) |
| DO-34 glass seal | Hermetic encapsulation ensures moisture resistance and reliability in humid environments |
| E24-standard VZ | 39 V value aligns with IEC 60063 E24 series, simplifying BOM consolidation across voltage grades |
| Short-pitch compatibility | 5 mm lead spacing supports dense PCB layouts without requiring bent leads or adapters |
Applications
| Reference Voltage Source | Signal Line Surge Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing stable 39 V reference for ADC biasing and op-amp feedback networks in industrial sensor signal conditioning modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode operating in reverse breakdown to generate fixed voltage node independent of supply variation. Use Value: Delivers <±0.5% regulation error over 0–5 mA load range due to low ZZ and tight VZ tolerance. | Use Scenario: Clamping ESD transients on RS-485 bus lines in factory automation gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage clamp absorbing >1 kV HBM surges before IC-level protection activates. Use Value: Withstands 100 W/10 µs surges without degradation, preserving downstream transceiver integrity. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener + series resistor forming precision current source via Ohm's law (I ≈ (VIN − VZ)/R). Use Value: Maintains ±3% current stability over −40°C to +85°C due to predictable TC and low ZZ. | Use Scenario: Limiting peak amplitude of AC-coupled audio signals to prevent amplifier saturation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clipping element (with series diode) constraining signal swing to ±39 V. Use Value: Sharp knee at 5 mA enables clean clipping onset with <100 ns response to fast edges. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | Same 39 V nominal VZ, but 1 W rating in DO-41 package; 10 Ω higher ZZ (95 Ω) | Higher power handling suits larger-signal clamping; larger DO-41 footprint requires layout change | Select when >400 mW continuous dissipation or higher surge margin is required |
| BZX55-C39 | 39 V VZ, 500 mW rating in DO-35; ±5% tolerance; 70 Ω ZZ; RoHS-compliant glass passivation | Lower ZZ improves regulation; DO-35 has shorter body (2.0 mm) but same 5 mm pitch | Prefer for tighter regulation or RoHS-constrained designs; verify thermal derating on target PCB |
Compared with RD39ES-T1-AZ, 1N4739A offers higher surge capacity but requires PCB rework for DO-41, while BZX55-C39 provides better regulation and modern compliance at the cost of slightly reduced thermal robustness in high-ambient settings.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD39ES-T1-AZ at 5 mA?
The RD39ES-T1-AZ has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 35.36 V to 37.19 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C, per the "AB2" suffix specification in the Renesas D13935EJ7V0DS datasheet. This ±5% tolerance ensures predictable regulation in production designs without binning.
Does RD39ES-T1-AZ support surface-mount assembly?
No, RD39ES-T1-AZ is an axial-leaded DO-34 glass package and is not compatible with SMT reflow processes. It requires through-hole insertion and wave or selective soldering. For SMT equivalents, consider the BZX55-C39 (DO-35) or MMBZ5240B (SOD-123), though these differ in thermal and electrical performance.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current for RD39ES-T1-AZ below breakdown?
At VR = 30 V and TA = 25°C, the RD39ES-T1-AZ exhibits a maximum reverse current IR of 0.2 µA. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss and signal distortion in high-impedance reference or bias networks where current draw must be sub-microamp.
How does the DHD construction improve thermal performance of RD39ES-T1-AZ?
The DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction in RD39ES-T1-AZ provides two parallel thermal conduction paths-from the silicon die to both axial leads-reducing effective junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This allows sustained 400 mW dissipation with less temperature rise than conventional DO-34 diodes, especially on small PCB pads.
Can RD39ES-T1-AZ be used in automotive applications?
RD39ES-T1-AZ is rated as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas documentation and is intended for computers, office equipment, and industrial robots-not automotive systems. For AEC-Q200 qualified Zener diodes, consider alternatives like the BZX84-C39 or SMAZ39, which undergo stress testing for vibration, temperature cycling, and humidity resistance.
