Product details
Overview
RKZ3.3B2KJ from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization and transient surge absorption in low-power signal and bias circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 3.3 V (3.25–3.50 V), with 20 µA maximum reverse current at 1.0 V, 130 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, and 30 kV ESD capability per IEC 61000-4-2 (C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω). It is used in voltage reference circuits for microcontroller reset supervision and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the RKZ3.3B2KJ datasheet, RKZ3.3B2KJ pinout, RKZ3.3B2KJ application, or RKZ3.3B2KJ equivalent, this device serves as a compact, surface-mount voltage clamp and regulator in space-constrained consumer, industrial, and communication electronics where stable low-voltage reference and robust ESD immunity are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its ultra-small Flat Lead Package (UFP, JEITA code PWSF0002ZA-A) enables high-density PCB layouts while supporting reflow soldering.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 3.3 V - typical for low-voltage Zeners - and is rated for 150 mW power dissipation on a standard PCB at 25°C ambient. Its non-repetitive surge reverse power rating supports transient suppression in low-energy signal lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.25–3.50 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 3.3 V system references. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤20 µA at VR = 1.0 V - ensures minimal leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 130 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 150 mW at Ta = 25°C on PCB - sets thermal design limit for continuous operation. |
| ESD Capability | 30 kV (HBM, C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω, both polarities) - provides robust protection against human-body model discharges. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +150°C - supports operation across extended industrial temperature ranges. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage stabilization applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C3V3 (Nexperia) | Same 3.3 V nominal Zener, but 300 mW Pd, 90 Ω rd, SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm). | Higher power handling suits higher-current biasing; larger footprint may impact ultra-dense layouts. | Select when >150 mW dissipation margin or lower dynamic resistance is required. |
| MMSZ4685 (ON Semiconductor) | 3.3 V Zener, 500 mW Pd, 100 Ω rd, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm), no specified ESD rating. | Larger size and lack of documented ESD performance limit use in ESD-prone interfaces. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-ESD-critical biasing where board area is not constrained. |
Compared with BZX584-C3V3 and MMSZ4685, RKZ3.3B2KJ offers the smallest footprint and highest certified ESD immunity (30 kV), making it optimal for space-limited, high-reliability signal conditioning - though its 150 mW rating requires careful thermal design in sustained-clamp scenarios.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RKZ3.3B2KJ at 5 mA test current?
The RKZ3.3B2KJ has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.25 V to 3.50 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±0.125 V tolerance (±3.8%) ensures predictable regulation in 3.3 V system references without additional trimming components. The specification is verified per Renesas datasheet REJ03G1588-0100 Rev.1.00.
Does RKZ3.3B2KJ support reflow soldering, and what is its maximum lead temperature?
Yes, RKZ3.3B2KJ is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its UFP package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds. The lead material is exposed at the cutting plane, ensuring reliable wetting without special pre-treatment - critical for high-yield manufacturing of RKZ3.3B2KJ in automated SMT lines.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for RKZ3.3B2KJ, and at what voltage is it measured?
RKZ3.3B2KJ specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 20 µA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 1.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance bias networks and preserves accuracy in precision reference applications where RKZ3.3B2KJ is commonly deployed.
Is RKZ3.3B2KJ suitable for ESD protection in USB 2.0 data lines?
Yes, RKZ3.3B2KJ is rated for 30 kV ESD (IEC 61000-4-2, C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω, both polarities), making it suitable for protecting low-speed and full-speed USB 2.0 D+/D− lines. Its low capacitance (inherent to UFP geometry) and fast response preserve signal integrity up to 480 Mbps - a key advantage of RKZ3.3B2KJ in interface protection.
What is the thermal derating behavior of RKZ3.3B2KJ above 25°C ambient?
RKZ3.3B2KJ's power dissipation derates linearly above 25°C ambient: Pd decreases by 1.2 mW/°C beyond 25°C, reaching zero at 150°C junction temperature. This allows accurate thermal design for RKZ3.3B2KJ in enclosed or high-temperature environments using standard PCB copper area for heat spreading.
