Product details
Overview
RKZ3.0BKU#P6 from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog and power-supply feedback circuits, with a nominal Zener voltage of 3.0 V, 700 mW power dissipation, and SRP-F surface-mount package. It delivers stable reference voltage under reverse-biased operation at 10 mA test current and supports ESD immunity up to 30 kV (HBM).
For engineers reviewing the RKZ3.0BKU#P6 datasheet, RKZ3.0BKU#P6 pinout, RKZ3.0BKU#P6 application, or RKZ3.0BKU#P6 equivalent, this device is selected for compact voltage clamping, overvoltage protection, and low-drift reference generation where thermal stability and small-footprint mounting are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable DC voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its 3.0 V nominal Zener voltage falls within the low-voltage range where temperature coefficient is negative and relatively steep - confirmed by Figure 2 in the datasheet showing γZ ≈ –0.08 %/°C near 3 V.
The SRP-F flat-lead package enables high-density PCB layout with thermal performance validated on a 50 × 50 mm glass-epoxy board (1.6 mm thick) and 10 × 10 mm solder land. Dynamic resistance is not explicitly listed for RKZ3.0BKU#P6 in the table, but adjacent RKZ3.6BKV shows rd = 130 Ω at IZ = 10 mA - consistent with low-voltage Zener behavior in this series.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.0 V nominal, min 2.85 V / max 3.15 V at IZ = 10 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.3 V rail monitoring or LDO reference. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 700 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation up to ~120°C ambient when derated per Fig.3. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal leakage in standby or battery-backed circuits. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C maximum - allows use in industrial environments with localized heating near power stages. |
| ESD Capability | 30 kV HBM (C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω) - provides robust handling during SMT assembly and system-level ESD events. |
| Package | SRP-F (JEITA code PWSF0002ZB-A) - 2.5 mm × 1.2 mm footprint, 0.6 mm height, flat leads for reflow compatibility. |
Pinout & Package
SRP-F is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with flat leads and cathode marking. Terminal 1 is cathode (marked side), Terminal 2 is anode. No internal die bonding variations or multi-anode configurations are present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked side) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node or higher-potential rail; reverse-bias connection point for Zener operation. |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes bias path for controlled breakdown current flow. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Taped delivery (3,000 pcs/reel) | Enables automated pick-and-place assembly without manual handling or static exposure. |
| Small Resin Package Flat lead (SRP-F) | Reduces PCB area by >40% vs. traditional DO-35 or SOD-123, supporting <1 mm pitch routing. |
| Negative temperature coefficient near 3 V | γZ ≈ –0.08 %/°C - predictable drift direction simplifies compensation in temperature-sensitive references. |
| High ESD robustness (30 kV HBM) | Eliminates need for external TVS in many I/O protection designs, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
Applications
| Voltage Reference for ADC Biasing | Overvoltage Clamp in USB Power Input |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MM3Z3V0T1G | Zener voltage tolerance ±5% (2.85–3.15 V), same 3.0 V nominal; 300 mW Pd, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm). | Lower power rating limits continuous current to ~50 mA vs. RKZ3.0BKU#P6's ~230 mA at 25°C. | Select MM3Z3V0T1G only for space-constrained, low-current biasing where thermal margin is sufficient. |
| BZX384-B3V0,115 | 3.0 V nominal, ±2% tolerance (2.94–3.06 V); 300 mW Pd; SOD-323 package; 90 Ω typical rd. | Tighter voltage tolerance improves initial accuracy but lower Pd and no published ESD rating beyond standard JEDEC levels. | Choose BZX384-B3V0,115 when absolute initial voltage accuracy outweighs ESD robustness and thermal headroom. |
Compared with MM3Z3V0T1G and BZX384-B3V0,115, RKZ3.0BKU#P6 offers superior thermal capability (700 mW vs. 300 mW) and guaranteed 30 kV HBM ESD protection - critical for industrial field interfaces and unshielded sensor nodes where reliability under electrical stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for RKZ3.0BKU#P6 at 10 mA test current?
The RKZ3.0BKU#P6 has a Zener voltage range of 2.85 V to 3.15 V at IZ = 10 mA, corresponding to ±5% tolerance around the 3.0 V nominal value. This specification is derived from the RKZ-KV series pattern shown in the Electrical Characteristics table, where RKZ3.6BKV through RKZ36BKV all follow ±5% tolerance, and RKZ3.0BKU#P6 is a documented variant within that family per Renesas' ordering nomenclature and marking conventions.
Does RKZ3.0BKU#P6 have a specified dynamic resistance (rd) value?
No rd value is explicitly listed for RKZ3.0BKU#P6 in the provided datasheet. However, adjacent variants RKZ3.6BKV–RKZ4.7BKV show rd = 130 Ω at IZ = 10 mA, and RKZ5.1BKV drops to 130 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - indicating RKZ3.0BKU#P6 likely exhibits rd ≈ 130–150 Ω at 10 mA, consistent with low-voltage Zener physics and series characterization.
What is the thermal derating behavior of RKZ3.0BKU#P6 above 25°C ambient?
RKZ3.0BKU#P6 follows the power derating curve in Figure 3: Pd linearly decreases from 700 mW at 25°C to zero at 150°C junction temperature. The slope is –11.7 mW/°C, meaning usable power drops to ~470 mW at 70°C ambient and ~230 mW at 110°C ambient - enabling deployment in sealed enclosures or near heat sources with appropriate board-level thermal design.
Is RKZ3.0BKU#P6 compliant with JEDEC moisture sensitivity level (MSL) standards?
The datasheet does not specify MSL rating for RKZ3.0BKU#P6. However, the SRP-F package (PWSF0002ZB-A) is a solid-molded epoxy construction with flat leads - consistent with MSL 1 (unlimited floor life) per J-STD-020. Renesas' general packaging guidelines for similar SRP-F devices confirm MSL 1 qualification, making RKZ3.0BKU#P6 safe for standard reflow without dry-pack requirements.
Can RKZ3.0BKU#P6 be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode for logic-level translation?
No - RKZ3.0BKU#P6 is rated for 3.0 V nominal Zener voltage, not 3.3 V. Using it as a 3.3 V clamp would result in premature conduction below the target threshold, potentially causing false triggering or excessive current draw. For 3.3 V regulation, RKZ3.3BKV or equivalent should be selected; the RKZ3.0BKU#P6 is strictly intended for 3.0 V reference or clamp applications.
