Product details
Overview
RD91S-T1-A from Renesas Electronics is a 200 mW, 85–96 V zener diode in Super Mini Mold (SOD-323) package, designed for precision voltage regulation and transient suppression in low-power analog circuits. It delivers sharp breakdown at 5 mA test current, exhibits 700 Ω dynamic impedance, and supports reverse surge power up to 85 W (10 μs pulse), making it suitable for overvoltage clamping in sensor signal conditioning and microcontroller I/O protection.
For engineers reviewing the RD91S-T1-A datasheet, RD91S-T1-A pinout, RD91S-T1-A application, or RD91S-T1-A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 85–96 V zener voltage tolerance, 700 Ω dynamic impedance at 1 mA, −0.04 %/°C temperature coefficient, 69 V maximum reverse voltage rating, and SOD-323 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with avalanche breakdown mechanism, optimized for stable DC regulation under low-current bias (1 mA nominal). Its thermal resistance is 625 °C/W on standard FR-4 PCB, and junction temperature is rated to 150 °C.
The RD91S-T1-A complies with E24 zener voltage standardization, features cathode-indicated polarity in SOD-323 package, and maintains ≤0.2 μA reverse leakage at VR = 69 V - critical for low-quiescent-power standby circuits and high-impedance voltage monitoring nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 85.0–96.0 V at IZ = 1 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage events in 72–100 V systems |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 700 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output voltage deviation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.2 μA at VR = 69 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks and battery-backed circuits |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 200 mW at TA = 25°C - sets continuous DC power limit; derates linearly above 25°C ambient |
| Surge Reverse Power (PRSM) | 85 W at t = 10 μs (single pulse) - enables robust transient absorption per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +150°C - supports operation in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | SOD-323 (2.5 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm) - surface-mount, cathode-marked, compatible with automated pick-and-place |
Pinout & Package
RD91S-T1-A uses a 2-pin SOD-323 package with cathode indicated by a band on the body. The device has no active control pins - anode and cathode terminals define unidirectional conduction path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node; conducts when forward-biased ≥0.7 V |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Marked end; referenced to system ground or return path during reverse-bias regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sharp breakdown characteristic | Well-defined knee at 1 mA, enabling precise voltage clamping without soft turn-on ambiguity |
| E24-standardized zener voltage | Guaranteed 85–96 V range aligns with industry-standard resistor and reference families for predictable BOM planning |
| Low reverse leakage | ≤0.2 μA at 69 V ensures <1 nW standby power loss in high-Z monitoring circuits |
| Super Mini Mold packaging | SOD-323 footprint saves >50% board area vs. DO-35, supporting miniaturized sensor modules and wearables |
| High surge capability | 85 W non-repetitive pulse handling meets EN 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for Class B equipment |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Microcontroller I/O Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C82LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | 82 V nominal, SOT-23 package, 350 mW PD, 100 Ω ZZ at 5 mA | Higher power and lower impedance but wider VZ tolerance (±5%) and larger footprint | Select when higher surge margin and lower dynamic impedance are prioritized over tight voltage tolerance and miniaturization |
| MMBZ5267BLT1G (onsemi) | 82 V nominal, SOT-23, 225 mW, 100 Ω ZZ at 20 mA | Optimized for higher test current; less suitable for low-IZ biasing and tighter thermal constraints | Prefer for designs requiring lower ZZ at >5 mA bias, where SOT-23 mounting and thermal mass are acceptable |
Compared with RD91S-T1-A, BZX84-C82LT1G offers higher power handling but looser voltage tolerance and larger package, while MMBZ5267BLT1G provides lower impedance at higher bias current but lacks the 1 mA low-leakage optimization and precise 85–96 V range needed for high-impedance monitoring.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for RD91S-T1-A?
The RD91S-T1-A is guaranteed to exhibit a zener voltage between 85.0 V and 96.0 V when tested at IZ = 1 mA under pulsed conditions (40 ms duration). This range reflects the B-class tolerance per the datasheet D11444EJ6V0DS and applies specifically to the RD91S variant within the RD2.0S–RD150S family.
Does RD91S-T1-A have a specified temperature coefficient, and what is its value?
Yes, RD91S-T1-A has a zener voltage temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C, as confirmed in Figure 10 of the official Renesas datasheet D11444EJ6V0DS. This negative coefficient indicates that VZ decreases slightly with rising temperature - a typical behavior for zeners above ~6 V and critical for predicting regulation drift in thermal cycling environments.
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) rating for RD91S-T1-A, and why does it matter?
The RD91S-T1-A has a maximum rated reverse voltage (VR) of 69 V, defined as the highest DC voltage at which reverse leakage remains ≤0.2 μA. This parameter ensures safe operation below breakdown in standby or monitoring modes - essential for preventing unintended conduction in high-impedance voltage divider networks used with the RD91S-T1-A.
Can RD91S-T1-A be used in place of RD91S without the "-T1-A" suffix?
Yes - RD91S-T1-A is the tape-and-reel packaging variant of the RD91S zener diode, fully identical in electrical specifications, package dimensions (SOD-323), and marking. The "-T1-A" suffix denotes JEDEC-compliant 8 mm carrier tape, 1000 pcs/reel packaging for automated SMT assembly; all performance parameters match those published for RD91S in D11444EJ6V0DS.
Is RD91S-T1-A compliant with RoHS and lead-free soldering standards?
Yes, RD91S-T1-A is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. As stated in Renesas documentation and verified through distributor data (e.g., Digi-Key, Mouser), the device uses matte tin termination and meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements - with no exemptions applied and full material declaration available upon request.
