Product details
Overview
RD47F from Renesas Electronics is a 1 W planar-type silicon Zener diode in DO-41 glass-sealed DHD package, with nominal zener voltage 47 V (min 44 V, max 49 V), dynamic impedance 50 Ω at 10 mA, and reverse current ≤5 μA at 36 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in power supply regulation and surge protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD47F datasheet, RD47F pinout, RD47F application, or RD47F equivalent, key selection considerations include its ±5% zener tolerance, −44 mV/°C temperature coefficient, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and suitability for constant-voltage regulation, waveform limiting, and transient suppression in industrial and consumer power systems.
Technical Context
The RD47F operates as a two-terminal voltage-reference device relying on controlled reverse-breakdown conduction. Its planar junction structure ensures stable zener characteristics and low leakage across temperature, with thermal resistance optimized via the Double Heatsink Diode (DHD) construction.
It is rated for 1 W steady-state dissipation at 25°C ambient, derating linearly above 25°C per Figure 1, and supports non-repetitive surge reverse power up to 400 W for 10 μs pulses. The zener voltage exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −44 mV/°C, confirming its use in mid-to-high voltage stabilization where drift compensation is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 44 V min to 49 V max at IZ = 10 mA - defines usable regulation band under standard test conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 50 Ω max at IZ = 10 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC load variations |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5 μA at VR = 36 V - confirms low leakage below breakdown, critical for standby power integrity |
| Zener Temp. Coefficient (γZ) | −44 mV/°C typical - quantifies voltage drift with temperature; enables thermal error budgeting |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 1.0 W at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - determines upper thermal limit for PCB layout and heatsinking requirements |
| Surge Reverse Power (PRSM) | 400 W for t = 10 μs - specifies single-pulse transient energy absorption capability |
Pinout & Package
RD47F uses a DO-41 axial-leaded glass package with cathode indicated by a black band. The device has two terminals: anode and cathode - no internal connections or control pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Reference ground node in shunt regulator | Connected to lower potential side; carries forward current up to 200 mA or reverse leakage during regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / Output reference node in shunt regulator | Marked with black band; maintains regulated voltage relative to anode; sinks zener current to ground or return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1 W Planar Zener Structure | Enables stable, repeatable breakdown with low noise and minimal parameter shift over time and temperature |
| DO-41 Glass Package with DHD Construction | Provides enhanced thermal dissipation via dual heatsink paths, supporting reliable operation at full 1 W rating |
| E24-Series Voltage Standardization | Ensures compatibility with common design libraries and simplifies BOM consolidation across 47 V reference needs |
| Negative Temperature Coefficient (−44 mV/°C) | Allows predictable voltage drift modeling for applications requiring temperature-compensated references |
| Surge-Rated for 400 W (10 μs) | Permits direct placement in input-stage transient suppression without external series limiting components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4752A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 47 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance, 50 Ω ZZ, −44 mV/°C γZ; DO-41 package, RoHS-compliant | Identical functional role; validated in automotive-grade designs per AEC-Q200 | Select when AEC-Q200 qualification or extended manufacturer support lifecycle is required. |
| BZX85C47 (Nexperia) | 47 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 70 Ω ZZ max, −42 mV/°C γZ; DO-41, 1.3 W rating | Higher power margin allows operation at elevated ambient temperatures without derating | Prefer when ambient exceeds 70°C or sustained >800 mW dissipation is expected. |
Compared with RD47F, 1N4752A offers identical electrical specs with automotive qualification, while BZX85C47 provides higher power headroom and slightly lower impedance drift - both serve as drop-in alternatives only in non-safety-critical Standard-grade applications.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of RD47F?
The RD47F has a zener voltage range of 44 V minimum to 49 V maximum at 10 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance about the nominal 47 V value. This tolerance is specified per the B-grade classification in the official Renesas datasheet D13936EJ5V0DS and applies under standard 40 ms test conditions.
Does RD47F meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, RD47F complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits, and is marked accordingly in Renesas' product change notices and material declarations.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for RD47F?
The maximum junction temperature (Tj) for RD47F is 175°C, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Renesas datasheet D13936EJ5V0DS. Operation beyond this temperature risks permanent parametric shift or catastrophic failure, and thermal design must ensure Tj remains within limit under worst-case power and ambient conditions.
Can RD47F be used in place of RD43F or RD51F in a circuit?
RD47F is not a direct substitute for RD43F (43 V) or RD51F (51 V) due to its distinct 47 V nominal zener voltage. Swapping requires verification of circuit margin - e.g., feedback divider ratios, clamping thresholds, and thermal dissipation - since even ±5% tolerance bands do not overlap between these values. Always recalculate operating point and stability margins before substitution.
What does the "F" suffix indicate in RD47F?
The "F" suffix in RD47F denotes the planar-type silicon Zener diode construction with glass-sealed DO-41 packaging and DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) thermal structure, as defined in Renesas' part numbering convention for the RD2.0F–RD82F family. It distinguishes this series from earlier alloy-junction or plastic-packaged variants.
