Product details
Overview
RD8.2SL-T1-AT from Renesas Electronics is a 2-pin Super Mini Mold zener diode with nominal zener voltage 8.2 V (±3.5% tolerance), 200 mW power dissipation, and dynamic impedance ≤60 Ω at 0.5 mA test current. It delivers sharp breakdown and low noise for precision voltage reference and surge suppression in audio and instrumentation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD8.2SL-T1-AT datasheet, RD8.2SL-T1-AT pinout, RD8.2SL-T1-AT application, or RD8.2SL-T1-AT equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (N/N1/N2/N3 grade), thermal impedance (625°C/W on 30×30×1.6 mm PCB), reverse surge capability (2.2 W at 10 µs), junction temperature limit (150°C), and RoHS-compliant packaging.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its sharp knee characteristic enables stable clamping at 8.2 V under reverse bias, with temperature coefficient of +5.5 mV/°C (typical) per Fig. 6 - consistent with zener voltages above 6 V.
The 2-pin Super Mini Mold package (2.5×1.25×0.9 mm) supports surface-mount assembly and achieves 625°C/W transient thermal impedance on standard glass-epoxy PCBs. Reverse surge rating of 2.2 W at 10 µs pulse width allows transient overvoltage absorption without degradation.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4738A | 8.2 V nominal, 1 W power rating, DO-41 through-hole package, Zz ≈ 5 Ω | Higher power handling but larger footprint; unsuitable for dense SMT layouts | Select when higher surge energy absorption is required and board space permits through-hole mounting |

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD8.2SL-T1-AT at 0.5 mA test current?
The RD8.2SL-T1-AT has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 7.69 V to 8.61 V at 0.5 mA test current per the N grade specification in Renesas Data Sheet D11445EJ3V0DS. This ±3.5% tolerance band applies under TA = 25 ± 2°C conditions and is validated using 40 ms pulse testing per Note 1.
Does RD8.2SL-T1-AT support RoHS-compliant manufacturing processes?
Yes, RD8.2SL-T1-AT uses lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound compliant with the EU RoHS Directive. Renesas confirms environmental compatibility in its official documentation, and the device carries no exemptions requiring special handling or labeling beyond standard RoHS requirements.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation of RD8.2SL-T1-AT?
The maximum junction temperature for RD8.2SL-T1-AT is 150°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this temperature risks irreversible degradation of the PN junction. Derating must be applied per Fig. 1, reducing power dissipation linearly from 200 mW at 25°C to zero at 150°C ambient on standard PCBs.
How does the dynamic impedance of RD8.2SL-T1-AT affect voltage regulation accuracy?
The RD8.2SL-T1-AT exhibits dynamic impedance ≤60 Ω at 0.5 mA, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current causes ≤60 mV shift in output voltage. This directly limits regulation accuracy in current-source-based references and determines minimum bypass capacitance needed to suppress ripple in low-noise applications.
Can RD8.2SL-T1-AT be used in place of older NEC RD8.2SL variants without layout changes?
Yes, RD8.2SL-T1-AT maintains identical Super Mini Mold package dimensions (2.5×1.25×0.9 mm), pinout, and electrical specifications as the original NEC RD8.2SL. The "T1-AT" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging and Renesas branding post-merger, with no functional or mechanical deviation from the legacy part.
