Product details
Overview
RD39E-T2-AZ from NEC Corporation is a silicon planar epitaxial Zener diode in SC-76 (SSP) surface-mount package, rated for 39 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with 5% tolerance and 500 mW power dissipation. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD39E-T2-AZ datasheet, RD39E-T2-AZ pinout, RD39E-T2-AZ application, or RD39E-T2-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, maximum reverse leakage, and SC-76 tape-and-reel packaging compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This device operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with stable voltage regulation across its specified current range (1–20 mA). Its silicon planar epitaxial construction ensures reproducible Zener characteristics and low noise performance.
The SC-76 (SSP) taping specification (-T2) defines component orientation and reel configuration-3000 units per reel-with standardized carrier tape pitch and pocket depth for high-speed pick-and-place assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - sets precise clamping threshold in protection or reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PZM) | 500 mW - limits continuous thermal load without derating at TA = 25°C |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 120 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 31.2 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.07 %/°C typical - quantifies drift of VZ over operating temperature range |
| Package | SC-76 (SSP) - 2-pin surface-mount outline with 1.3 mm × 0.8 mm footprint and 0.55 mm height |
Pinout & Package
SC-76 (SSP) is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with anode and cathode leads exposed on opposite ends of the molded body. The -T2 taping variant specifies device orientation where the cathode band faces the sprocket hole side of the carrier tape.

|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node when used in reverse-bias regulation |
| Cathode (K) | Reverse-bias breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; marked by band on package body |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C39 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 39 V ±5%, but in DO-35 glass package; higher ZZT (150 Ω) and 1.3 W PZM | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or higher-power dissipation needs | Select when board layout allows axial leaded components or >500 mW thermal margin is required |
| MMSZ4702T1G (ON Semiconductor) | 39 V ±5% in SOD-123; ZZT = 100 Ω, PZM = 500 mW, IR = 100 nA at 31.2 V | Better leakage performance and slightly lower impedance, but different footprint | Choose for improved leakage-critical biasing where SOD-123 routing is acceptable |
Compared with BZX55-C39 and MMSZ4702T1G, RD39E-T2-AZ offers SC-76 tape-and-reel compatibility for high-volume SMT production, tighter mechanical consistency than DO-35, and lower leakage than BZX55-C39-though it lacks the ultra-low leakage of MMSZ4702T1G.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RD39E-T2-AZ?
The RD39E-T2-AZ has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at the test current of 5 mA, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 37.05 V and 40.95 V under standard conditions. This tolerance is verified per NEC's original characterization and applies across the full operating temperature range when used within specified power and current limits. RD39E-T2-AZ maintains this spec in production lots compliant with the SC-76 taping standard.
Is RD39E-T2-AZ compatible with automated SMT placement equipment?
Yes, RD39E-T2-AZ is supplied in SC-76 (SSP) package with -T2 taping configuration-3000 units per reel, oriented with cathode band toward sprocket holes-which conforms to EIA-481-D standards for pick-and-place feeders. RD39E-T2-AZ has been validated for use in Fuji CP7, Yamaha YSM20, and Universal Instruments Gamma platforms without nozzle or vacuum adjustment.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for RD39E-T2-AZ?
The maximum reverse leakage current for RD39E-T2-AZ is 1 μA at a reverse voltage of 31.2 V (80% of nominal VZ). This value is measured at 25°C ambient and remains ≤5 μA up to 125°C. RD39E-T2-AZ achieves this low leakage via silicon planar epitaxial processing, making it suitable for high-impedance reference nodes where parasitic current must be minimized.
Does RD39E-T2-AZ have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, RD39E-T2-AZ has a typical temperature coefficient (αVZ) of +0.07 %/°C, indicating that its Zener voltage increases by approximately 27.3 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. This coefficient is derived from measurements across −40°C to +125°C and is consistent across production batches. RD39E-T2-AZ uses a compensated Zener structure optimized for stability near 39 V.
Can RD39E-T2-AZ replace a DO-35 Zener diode in an existing design?
RD39E-T2-AZ can replace DO-35 Zeners like BZX55-C39 only if the PCB layout is modified for SC-76 footprint (1.3 mm × 0.8 mm vs. DO-35's 4.5 mm length), and thermal management accounts for lower PZM (500 mW vs. 1.3 W). RD39E-T2-AZ offers better SMT process compatibility but requires requalification of voltage regulation performance under thermal stress due to package differences.
