Product details
Overview
RD47E-T4-AZ from NEC Corporation is a silicon planar Zener diode in SC-76 (SSP) package, rated for 47 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA test current, with 5% tolerance and 500 mW power dissipation, commonly used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD47E-T4-AZ datasheet, RD47E-T4-AZ pinout, RD47E-T4-AZ application, or RD47E-T4-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, maximum power rating, and taping configuration for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under specified current conditions. It exhibits a typical dynamic impedance of 120 Ω at 5 mA and a temperature coefficient of +0.07 %/°C near 47 V, supporting precision biasing in sensor interfaces and power supply feedback networks.
The SC-76 (SSP) surface-mount package enables high-density PCB layout with solderable terminations on two leads. The -T4 taping designation indicates a specific orientation and reel configuration compliant with NEC's SC-76 tape-and-reel standard for pick-and-place compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage in shunt regulator designs |
| Power Dissipation (PZM) | 500 mW - maximum continuous power handling at TA = 25°C, derates linearly above |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 120 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - determines voltage regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +0.07 %/°C - quantifies VZ drift per degree Celsius near nominal operating point |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5 mA - standardized condition for specifying VZ and ZZT per JEDEC JESD24 |
| Package | SC-76 (SSP) - 2-pin SMD package with 1.3 mm × 0.8 mm footprint and 0.55 mm height |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower potential side in Zener operation; reverse-biased during regulation |
| Cathode (K) | Reverse breakdown terminal | Connected to higher potential side; voltage referenced to this node during regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C47 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 47 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, but in DO-35 glass package with axial leads | Requires through-hole mounting; unsuitable for high-density SMT production | Select when legacy board design or manual prototyping favors axial components |
| MMSZ47ET1G (ON Semiconductor) | Identical SC-76 (SOD-123) package, same 47 V ±5%, 500 mW, but with tighter ZZT (100 Ω max) | Offers marginally better regulation stability under varying load currents | Prefer for new SMT designs where lower dynamic impedance improves feedback accuracy |
Compared with BZX55-C47 and MMSZ47ET1G, RD47E-T4-AZ provides SC-76 SMT compatibility and NEC-specific taping (-T4), making it optimal for NEC-aligned production lines requiring documented tape orientation and reel compliance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RD47E-T4-AZ?
The RD47E-T4-AZ has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 5 mA test current, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 44.65 V and 49.35 V under standard test conditions. This tolerance is specified per NEC's original datasheet and applies directly to each RD47E-T4-AZ unit shipped in SC-76 tape-and-reel format.
Is RD47E-T4-AZ compatible with reflow soldering processes?
Yes, RD47E-T4-AZ uses an SC-76 (SSP) package with solderable metallized terminations rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020). Its 0.55 mm profile and thermal mass allow uniform heating without cracking, and the RD47E-T4-AZ taping configuration supports automated placement prior to reflow.
Does RD47E-T4-AZ have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, RD47E-T4-AZ has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.07 %/°C near its 47 V operating point, indicating that its Zener voltage increases by approximately 33 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. This value is measured and guaranteed for RD47E-T4-AZ units within the manufacturer's published thermal limits.
What does the "-T4" suffix indicate in RD47E-T4-AZ?
The "-T4" suffix in RD47E-T4-AZ denotes NEC's specific tape-and-reel orientation standard for SC-76 (SSP) devices, defining carrier tape pocket depth, cover tape adhesion, and device rotation direction on the reel. This ensures compatibility with NEC-aligned pick-and-place equipment and distinguishes RD47E-T4-AZ from other taping variants like -T1 or -T2.
Can RD47E-T4-AZ replace a 1N4747A in an existing design?
RD47E-T4-AZ matches the 1N4747A's 47 V ±5% rating and 500 mW power dissipation but differs in package (SC-76 vs. DO-41) and thermal characteristics. While electrically comparable, RD47E-T4-AZ requires PCB footprint redesign and reflow validation; direct substitution is not recommended without layout and thermal review of the RD47E-T4-AZ implementation.
