Product details
Overview
RD47P-T1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a 47 V, 400 mW DO-34 glass-sealed Zener diode with DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction, ±5% zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, 100 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.5 µA reverse leakage at 37.6 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference and surge protector in low-power linear regulator feedback paths and I/O protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD47P-T1-AZ datasheet, RD47P-T1-AZ pinout, RD47P-T1-AZ application, or RD47P-T1-AZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, JEDEC DO-34 package details, and direct alternatives for voltage regulation and transient suppression design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with stable voltage regulation across 5–100 mA zener current range. Its DHD construction enables dual heat-sinking through both leads, improving thermal resistance to 375°C/W (junction-to-ambient, no PCB copper).
It complies with E24 standard zener voltage grading and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.075 %/°C at 47 V, confirmed in Fig. 9 of D13935EJ7V0DS. The device supports non-repetitive 100 W surge power for 10 µs pulses per Fig. 10.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 47 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point for feedback and clamping |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 400 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal shutdown |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA max at VR = 37.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation circuits |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 100 W for t = 10 µs - enables robust ESD and transient absorption without failure |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with proper PCB layout |
| Package | DO-34 (JEDEC) - axial glass body, 2.4 mm max length, 5 mm lead pitch for compact through-hole mounting |
Pinout & Package
RD47P-T1-AZ uses a two-terminal DO-34 axial glass package with cathode indicated by a black band. No internal circuitry or multi-pin configuration exists - terminals are unidirectional anode/cathode only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased regulation or clamping |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked with black band; connected to regulated or clamped node (e.g., op-amp feedback) |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4750A | Same 47 V nominal, but ±5% tolerance at 13 mA test current; 100 Ω ZZ at 13 mA vs. RD47P-T1-AZ's 100 Ω at 5 mA | Higher test current shifts operating point - requires ≥13 mA bias for spec compliance | Select when higher bias current is available and legacy compatibility with 1N-series footprint is required |
| BZX55-C47 | 47 V ±5%, but rated at 500 mW; 120 Ω ZZ at 5 mA; DO-35 package (3.5 mm length vs. DO-34's 2.4 mm) | Larger package increases board area; higher PD allows greater margin in thermally constrained layouts | Select when 500 mW headroom is needed and 0.5 mm longer body fits mechanical constraints |
Compared with 1N4750A and BZX55-C47, RD47P-T1-AZ offers tighter thermal resistance control via DHD construction and optimized 5 mA test-point matching for low-current reference designs - making it preferable where PCB space, low bias current, and thermal predictability are prioritized over raw power rating.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance and test condition for RD47P-T1-AZ?
The RD47P-T1-AZ has a zener voltage of 47 V with ±5% tolerance, measured at a test current of 5 mA and ambient temperature of 25°C. This specification is confirmed in Table "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" of datasheet D13935EJ7V0DS, where RD47P-T1-AZ falls within the RD47ES variant group (suffix AB1/AB2/AB3). The tolerance window is 44.65 V to 49.35 V under these conditions.
Does RD47P-T1-AZ support surge protection, and what is its peak pulse rating?
Yes, RD47P-T1-AZ supports non-repetitive surge protection with a peak reverse surge power (PRSM) of 100 W for pulse width t = 10 µs, as shown in Fig. 10 of the official datasheet. This capability enables reliable clamping of fast transients such as ESD and inductive switching spikes without degradation, provided the average power remains within the 400 mW steady-state limit.
What is the thermal resistance and how does DHD construction affect RD47P-T1-AZ performance?
RD47P-T1-AZ has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 375°C/W with no PCB copper, per Fig. 7. Its DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction provides dual thermal paths through both axial leads, reducing effective Rth by approximately 25% compared to conventional DO-34 diodes - directly improving power handling and long-term stability under sustained bias.
Is RD47P-T1-AZ RoHS compliant and what is its quality grade?
RD47P-T1-AZ meets RoHS Directive requirements as confirmed by Renesas' environmental compliance documentation. Its quality grade is "Standard", per Note 7 in the datasheet, meaning it is qualified for use in computers, office equipment, communications gear, industrial robots, and similar commercial/industrial applications - but not for automotive safety, medical life-support, or aerospace systems without explicit Renesas approval.
How does the temperature coefficient of RD47P-T1-AZ impact voltage reference accuracy?
RD47P-T1-AZ exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.075 %/°C at 47 V, as plotted in Fig. 9. This means its regulated voltage increases by ~35.3 mV per °C rise - a key factor when designing references for wide-temperature-range applications. For example, over –40°C to +85°C, total drift is ~4.4 V, requiring compensation in high-precision systems using RD47P-T1-AZ as a primary reference.
