Product details
Overview
RD39E-TB from NEC Corporation is a silicon planar epitaxial Zener diode in SC-76 (SSP) package, rated for 39 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with 5% tolerance and 0.5 W power dissipation, commonly used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD39E-TB datasheet, RD39E-TB pinout, RD39E-TB application, or RD39E-TB equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, maximum reverse leakage, and taping configuration (-TB denotes tape-and-reel packaging per SC-76 standard).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. It features a silicon planar epitaxial construction ensuring consistent breakdown characteristics and low noise performance.
The SC-76 (SSP) surface-mount package supports automated placement and reflow soldering, with standardized taping orientation (-TB) enabling compatibility with pick-and-place feeders. Device polarity is marked by a cathode band on the package body.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 39 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback or bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PZ) | 0.5 W - limits continuous reverse power handling without thermal runaway |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 120 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - determines voltage regulation stiffness under small-signal variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 29.4 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.08 %/°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 formed as gull-wing extensions. Cathode is identified by a visible band on the package top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential side in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Output reference node | Provides stabilized voltage output when reverse-biased above VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference 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), higher IR (5 μA at 29.4 V) | Through-hole mounting only; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher surge energy handling is required |
| MMSZ4702T1G (ON Semiconductor) | 39 V ±5%, SC-70 package; lower PZ (350 mW), ZZT = 100 Ω, IR = 0.1 μA at 29.4 V | Lower power rating limits use in sustained clamp applications | Select when ultra-low leakage and space-constrained layout outweigh power needs |
Compared with BZX55-C39 and MMSZ4702T1G, RD39E-TB offers balanced trade-offs: SC-76 footprint for SMT compatibility, 0.5 W dissipation for robust clamping, and 1 μA leakage suitable for precision biasing-making it optimal for mixed-signal industrial modules where size, power, and accuracy intersect.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RD39E-TB?
The RD39E-TB has a nominal Zener voltage of 39 V with a tolerance of ±5%, measured at 5 mA test current. This tolerance is specified in NEC's original datasheet and verified across production lots. The RD39E-TB maintains this accuracy under standard operating conditions from −55°C to +150°C ambient temperature.
Does RD39E-TB support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, RD39E-TB uses the SC-76 (SSP) surface-mount package with standardized dimensions (1.3 mm × 0.8 mm) and gull-wing leads compatible with industry-standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles. The -TB suffix confirms tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC J-STD-020, enabling direct feeder integration for RD39E-TB placement.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for RD39E-TB?
RD39E-TB specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA at 29.4 V (75% of nominal Zener voltage). This value is critical for low-power reference and protection circuits where leakage-induced error must be minimized. The RD39E-TB achieves this performance due to its planar epitaxial silicon structure and controlled doping profile.
Is RD39E-TB suitable for overvoltage protection in 36 V systems?
Yes, RD39E-TB is commonly used as a shunt clamp in 36 V industrial bus systems. Its 39 V Zener voltage provides a 3 V safety margin above nominal rail, and its 0.5 W power rating allows it to absorb transient energy without failure. RD39E-TB's 120 Ω dynamic impedance ensures fast response during voltage spikes.
How does RD39E-TB differ from RD39E-T1 or RD39E-T2?
RD39E-TB, RD39E-T1, and RD39E-T2 share identical electrical specifications and SC-76 package, differing only in taping orientation: -TB denotes standard tape direction per NEC's SC-76 specification, while -T1 and -T2 indicate alternate carrier tape feeding directions. RD39E-TB is optimized for compatibility with most SMT feeders without orientation adjustment.
