Product details
Overview
RD7.5E-TB-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 regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD7.5E-TB-AZ datasheet, RD7.5E-TB-AZ pinout, RD7.5E-TB-AZ application, or RD7.5E-TB-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, power dissipation limit, reverse leakage at test current, temperature coefficient, and SC-76 mechanical compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. It is characterized at IZ = 5 mA with specified VZ, IZK, and dynamic impedance ZZT.
The SC-76 (SSP) package enables automated placement and reflow soldering in space-constrained applications. Its thermal resistance (RθJA) supports operation up to +150°C ambient when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with minimal copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines nominal regulation point with tight tolerance for reference stability |
| Power Dissipation (PZ) | 500 mW - maximum continuous DC power handling at TA = 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 5 V - ensures low standby current in bias and sensing circuits |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - limits output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.06%/°C typical - enables predictable VZ drift across industrial temperature range |
| Test Current (IZ) | 5 mA - standardized condition for VZ measurement and datasheet compliance |
Pinout & Package
SC-76 (SSP) is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with cathode band marking; terminals are anode and cathode, with no internal connection other than the Zener junction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal in forward bias; common reference node in reverse-bias regulation | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated circuit; establishes polarity for proper Zener orientation |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal in forward bias; voltage-regulated output node in reverse bias | Marked with band; connected to supply rail or signal node requiring stabilized voltage |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C7V5 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 7.5 V ±5%, but 500 mW in DO-35 glass package; higher RθJA (500°C/W vs. ~300°C/W) | Through-hole assembly only; unsuitable for high-density SMT designs | Select if legacy through-hole manufacturing or higher surge robustness required |
| MMSZ5233B (ON Semiconductor) | 7.5 V ±5%, 500 mW, SOD-123 package; slightly higher ZZT (20 Ω) and leakage (10 µA) | Compatible SMT footprint but larger body (2.7 × 1.4 mm vs. 1.6 × 0.8 mm) | Select if existing SOD-123 land pattern must be reused without layout change |
Compared with BZX55C7V5 and MMSZ5233B, RD7.5E-TB-AZ offers the smallest board area and lowest thermal resistance among these 7.5 V Zeners, making it optimal for miniaturized, thermally constrained designs where SC-76 placement capability is available.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RD7.5E-TB-AZ?
The RD7.5E-TB-AZ has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at 5 mA test current. This means its actual breakdown voltage falls between 7.125 V and 7.875 V under standard test conditions, enabling reliable use in applications where moderate reference accuracy is sufficient without active trimming.
Is RD7.5E-TB-AZ suitable for surface-mount assembly?
Yes, RD7.5E-TB-AZ uses the SC-76 (SSP) package, which is explicitly designed for reflow soldering and compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place equipment. Its taping specification (-TB-AZ) confirms reel-based automated placement support per NEC's SC-76 taping standard.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for RD7.5E-TB-AZ?
The RD7.5E-TB-AZ specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 5 V reverse voltage. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in always-on sensor interfaces and battery-backed circuits where standby current must remain below 10 µA.
Does RD7.5E-TB-AZ have a defined Zener impedance value?
Yes, RD7.5E-TB-AZ has a maximum Zener impedance (ZZT) of 15 Ω measured at 5 mA. This low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation during transient load steps, making RD7.5E-TB-AZ suitable for stabilizing bias points in analog front-ends.
Can RD7.5E-TB-AZ replace older through-hole Zener diodes in new designs?
RD7.5E-TB-AZ can replace through-hole Zeners like BZX55C7V5 functionally, but requires PCB redesign due to its SC-76 footprint. Its smaller size, better thermal performance, and tape-and-reel compatibility make it ideal for new SMT-based designs where board space and assembly efficiency are priorities.
