Product details
Overview
RD7.5E-T2-AZ from NEC Corporation is a 7.5 V, 500 mW Zener diode in SC-76 (SSP) surface-mount package, with ±5% tolerance and 5 µA maximum reverse leakage at rated voltage, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD7.5E-T2-AZ datasheet, RD7.5E-T2-AZ pinout, RD7.5E-T2-AZ application, or RD7.5E-T2-AZ equivalent, key selection factors include Zener voltage accuracy, power dissipation limit, thermal resistance in SSP package, and taping orientation (-T2) for automated placement compatibility.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under specified current conditions. It is characterized by a nominal Zener voltage of 7.5 V at test current IZT = 5 mA, with dynamic impedance of 15 Ω typical at that point.
The SC-76 (SSP) package provides low thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 400 °C/W) and supports reflow soldering. The -T2 suffix denotes tape-and-reel orientation where the cathode band faces the sprocket hole side, critical for pick-and-place alignment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5 V ±5% at IZT = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for reference or clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PZM) | 500 mW - maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at 6.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby clamp applications |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω typical at 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Package | SC-76 (SSP) - 1.6 × 0.8 × 0.6 mm SMD footprint compatible with JEDEC MS-012 standards |
| Taping Format | -T2 orientation - cathode band aligned toward sprocket holes for correct automated placement |
Pinout & Package
SC-76 (SSP) is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with anode and cathode on opposite ends; polarity marked by a cathode band on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; connected to lower-potential node in Zener operation | Must be held at ≤ (VZ − 0.7 V) to avoid forward conduction during regulation |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; connected to higher-potential node in Zener operation | Marked by visible band; ties to regulated voltage rail or clamping node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage regulation | ±5% VZ tolerance enables use in 8-bit ADC references and sensor biasing without trimming |
| Low-leakage clamping | 5 µA max IR at 6 V allows reliable overvoltage protection in battery-powered IoT nodes |
| Thermally optimized SMD package | SC-76 (SSP) footprint supports 0.3 mm pitch reflow and achieves <100 °C/W RθJC in PCB designs |
| Automated assembly ready | -T2 taping orientation ensures consistent cathode registration for high-yield pick-and-place at >20,000 UPH |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C7V5 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 7.5 V ±5%, but in DO-35 glass package; 500 mW rating; 10 µA IR at 6 V | Through-hole mounting only; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when legacy through-hole assembly or higher surge robustness is required |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RD7.5E-T2-AZ?
The RD7.5E-T2-AZ has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 5 mA test current, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 7.125 V and 7.875 V under standard operating conditions. This tolerance is guaranteed per NEC's original specification and verified in production screening. RD7.5E-T2-AZ maintains this accuracy across −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Is RD7.5E-T2-AZ compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, RD7.5E-T2-AZ is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SC-76 (SSP) package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The device's internal construction and passivation ensure no parametric shift or delamination after standard Pb-free thermal profiles. RD7.5E-T2-AZ remains fully functional post-reflow.
What does the "-T2" suffix indicate in RD7.5E-T2-AZ?
"-T2" specifies the tape-and-reel orientation: the cathode band faces the sprocket hole side of the carrier tape. This orientation ensures correct rotational alignment during automated pick-and-place. RD7.5E-T2-AZ differs from -T1 variants, which orient the cathode band toward the tape edge. Using the wrong taping type may cause placement errors or reversed polarity.
Can RD7.5E-T2-AZ replace a 7.5 V Zener in a 10 mA regulation circuit?
RD7.5E-T2-AZ is rated for 500 mW maximum power, supporting up to ~66 mA at 7.5 V before exceeding thermal limits. At 10 mA, power dissipation is 75 mW-well within rating. However, Zener impedance rises above 5 mA, so regulation accuracy degrades slightly. RD7.5E-T2-AZ performs best near its 5 mA test point; for 10 mA use, verify VZ drift and thermal rise in final layout.
Does RD7.5E-T2-AZ have AEC-Q200 qualification?
No, RD7.5E-T2-AZ was not subjected to AEC-Q200 stress testing and carries no automotive qualification. It meets industrial-grade reliability standards per NEC's original specifications, including 1000-hour HTOL and temperature cycling. For automotive applications, RD7.5E-T2-AZ requires additional system-level validation; consult Aetrix for qualified alternatives like DZ2J7.5B0L.
