Product details
Overview
RD39UM-T1-A from Renesas Electronics is a 2-pin Ultra Super Mini Mold surface-mount zener diode rated for 150 mW power dissipation, with a nominal zener voltage of 39 V (min 37.0 V, max 41.0 V at IZ = 2 mA), dynamic impedance of 30 Ω, and reverse current ≤2 µA at VR = 30 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or surge absorber in low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD39UM-T1-A datasheet, RD39UM-T1-A pinout, RD39UM-T1-A application, or RD39UM-T1-A equivalent, this device is selected for stable 39 V clamping in compact DC bias networks, ESD protection paths, and waveform shaping stages where tight VZ tolerance (±5.1%) and low ZZ are critical under low-current operation.
Technical Context
This zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with sharp knee characteristics, optimized for constant-voltage regulation and transient suppression at low test currents (IZ = 2 mA). Its E24-standardized VZ value ensures compatibility with common reference design practices across consumer and industrial electronics.
The device uses an ultra-miniature molded package (2.1 × 1.3 × 0.7 mm) with cathode-indicated marking, enabling high-density PCB layouts. Thermal performance is characterized by transient thermal impedance curves up to 100 ms pulse width, supporting short-duration surge absorption per Fig. 6 (PRSM = 85 W at t = 10 µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 37.0–41.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 39 V nominal rail stabilization |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 150 mW at TA = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 30 Ω - indicates low AC impedance near operating point, minimizing voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤2 µA at VR = 30 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 85 W at t = 10 µs - supports single-pulse transient suppression without failure |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C - establishes upper thermal limit for reliability in sealed enclosures or elevated ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
RD39UM-T1-A uses a 2-pin Ultra Super Mini Mold package (2.1 ± 0.1 mm × 1.3 ± 0.1 mm × 0.7 ± 0.1 mm) with cathode indicated by a band. No separate anode/cathode labeling beyond polarity marking; terminals are unidirectional and non-reversible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node | Connected to lower-potential side in reverse-biased configuration; forms return path for zener current |
| Cathode | Breakdown voltage terminal / Input clamp node | Marked with band; connected to protected node or voltage source to enable controlled reverse conduction at VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sharp breakdown knee | Enables clean voltage clamping with minimal transition region-critical for accurate waveform clipping |
| E24-standard VZ | Ensures interoperability with industry-standard resistor and capacitor values in feedback and divider networks |
| Ultra-miniature SMD package | 2.1 × 1.3 mm footprint allows placement in space-constrained sensor modules and portable device power rails |
| Low leakage (IR ≤2 µA) | Maintains accuracy in high-impedance biasing applications such as op-amp reference inputs or comparator thresholds |
Applications

Use Value: Cathode-marked polarity and 2-pin SMD form factor simplify automated assembly and reduce BOM count vs. discrete resistor-zener combos. |
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 VZ range (37–41 V), but 500 mW rating and DO-35 through-hole package | Requires PCB redesign for through-hole mounting; higher power enables higher continuous current but larger footprint | Select when board-level surge energy exceeds 85 W × 10 µs and manual rework is acceptable |
| MMSZ5267B (Diodes Inc.) | 39 V nominal, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm), 500 mW rating, ZZ = 70 Ω | Larger footprint and higher ZZ reduce precision in low-current references but improve thermal margin | Prefer for cost-sensitive production where 30 Ω ZZ is not required and 500 mW headroom justifies size increase |
Compared with RD39UM-T1-A, BZX55-C39 offers higher power but requires through-hole layout changes, while MMSZ5267B provides greater thermal robustness in a slightly larger SMD package at the expense of dynamic impedance-making RD39UM-T1-A optimal for space-constrained, low-leakage 39 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of RD39UM-T1-A?
The RD39UM-T1-A has a zener voltage range of 37.0 V to 41.0 V at IZ = 2 mA, corresponding to a ±5.1% tolerance around the nominal 39 V rating. This tolerance is defined per the E24 standard and verified under pulsed test conditions (40 ms), ensuring consistency across production lots for precision biasing applications.
Can RD39UM-T1-A be used in place of a 36 V zener diode?
No-RD39UM-T1-A is specified only for 39 V nominal operation and must not be substituted for 36 V zeners like RD36UM without circuit validation. The RD36UM has distinct VZ (34.0–38.0 V), ZZ (27 Ω), and IR limits; using RD39UM-T1-A would raise clamping voltage by ~3 V, potentially exceeding downstream component ratings.
What is the maximum continuous forward current for RD39UM-T1-A?
The RD39UM-T1-A supports a maximum forward current (IF) of 100 mA at TA = 25 °C. This rating applies only during forward conduction (anode positive relative to cathode); the device is intended for reverse-bias operation, and sustained forward current above 100 mA risks thermal damage even with brief exposure.
Does RD39UM-T1-A meet RoHS requirements?
Yes-RD39UM-T1-A complies with the EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. Lead-free soldering is supported, and the device contains no restricted substances above threshold limits, making it suitable for environmentally regulated consumer and industrial products.
How does the thermal performance of RD39UM-T1-A compare to larger-package zeners?
RD39UM-T1-A exhibits higher thermal resistance due to its Ultra Super Mini Mold package: transient thermal impedance reaches 833 °C/W at t = 1 ms on a glass-epoxy PCB (30 × 30 × 1.6 mm). Larger packages like DO-35 offer lower Zth, so RD39UM-T1-A requires careful layout-such as localized copper pours-to manage junction temperature rise during repetitive surges.
