Product details
Overview
RKZ36BKV#P1 from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog and reference circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 36 V (min 34.0 V, max 38.0 V), 700 mW power dissipation, 90 Ω dynamic resistance at 2 mA test current, and ESD capability of ±30 kV (HBM, C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω). It operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator in feedback loops, voltage clamping, and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RKZ36BKV#P1 datasheet, RKZ36BKV#P1 pinout, RKZ36BKV#P1 application, or RKZ36BKV#P1 equivalent, this device is selected for stable reference generation in sensor signal conditioning, industrial power supply feedback networks, and compact DC-DC converter biasing where tight voltage tolerance and surface-mount compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs a planar diffusion structure to achieve stable reverse breakdown characteristics with low temperature coefficient drift - typical γZ near –0.04 %/°C at 36 V, confirmed by Figure 2 in REJ03G1700-0100. Its SRP-F flat-lead package enables high-density SMT placement while maintaining thermal performance up to 150°C junction temperature.
Electrical behavior is defined under pulsed test conditions (Pw = 40 ms) to minimize self-heating effects; the 2 mA zener test current ensures operation within the knee region for predictable regulation, and the 10 µA maximum reverse leakage at 27 V supports low-quiescent-current designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 34.0–38.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines regulated output range for reference or clamp applications |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 90 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines load regulation error and ripple rejection capability |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 700 mW at Ta = 25°C on 50 × 50 mm PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling in standard layout |
| ESD Capability | ±30 kV HBM (C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω) - qualifies for robustness in handling and board-level ESD events |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –55 to +150°C - enables use in extended-temperature industrial environments without derating |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 27 V - ensures minimal parasitic current in standby or high-impedance nodes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36LT1G | 36 V nominal (34.2–37.8 V), SOT-23, 350 mW Pd, rd = 90 Ω, 10 µA IR @ 28.8 V | Lower power rating requires series resistor derating in >200 mW applications; smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance | Select when board space is constrained and power demand ≤200 mW; verify thermal margin on FR-4 |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 36 V nominal (34.2–37.8 V), SOD-123, 500 mW Pd, rd = 110 Ω, 10 µA IR @ 28.8 V | Higher rd degrades regulation accuracy under load variation; same ESD rating (±30 kV) | Choose for cost-sensitive production where ±1.5% regulation tolerance is acceptable and thermal design allows 500 mW limit |
Compared with RKZ36BKV#P1, BZX84-C36LT1G offers smaller size but reduced power handling, while MMSZ5245B-TP trades 200 mW lower dissipation and higher impedance for broader distributor availability - RKZ36BKV#P1 remains optimal for 700 mW, low-rd, and high-reliability industrial use cases.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of RKZ36BKV#P1?
The RKZ36BKV#P1 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 34.0 V to 38.0 V at a test current of 2 mA, corresponding to ±5.6% tolerance about the nominal 36 V rating. This specification is verified per REJ03G1700-0100 Rev.1.00, page 2, and applies under pulsed test conditions (Pw = 40 ms) to avoid thermal drift during measurement. The RKZ36BKV#P1 maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does RKZ36BKV#P1 require a series current-limiting resistor in circuit?
Yes, RKZ36BKV#P1 must be used with an external series resistor to limit forward current and maintain operation within its 700 mW power dissipation limit. For example, at 48 V input and 36 V regulation, a minimum 360 Ω resistor is needed to restrict current to 33 mA (1.2 W without resistor). The RKZ36BKV#P1 datasheet specifies absolute maximum ratings assuming proper external biasing - it does not include internal current limiting.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for RKZ36BKV#P1?
The RKZ36BKV#P1 thermal resistance (RθJA) is not explicitly specified in REJ03G1700-0100, but its 700 mW power rating is defined with device mounted on a 50 × 50 mm glass-epoxy board (1.6 mm thick) with 10 × 10 mm solder land - implying RθJA ≈ 143°C/W under that standardized condition. Derating curves on page 4 confirm linear reduction to zero dissipation at 150°C ambient, confirming the RKZ36BKV#P1's suitability for convection-cooled industrial enclosures.
Is RKZ36BKV#P1 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, RKZ36BKV#P1 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is halogen-free per Renesas' environmental compliance documentation. The SRP-F package uses lead-free matte tin plating, and all materials comply with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 definition for halogen content (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, total halogens <1500 ppm). This status applies to RKZ36BKV#P1 manufactured after April 2010, as confirmed by Renesas' public compliance portal.
Can RKZ36BKV#P1 be used in place of a 33 V or 39 V Zener diode?
No - RKZ36BKV#P1 is not a functional substitute for 33 V or 39 V Zeners due to its specific 34.0–38.0 V breakdown range. Using it in a circuit designed for 33 V risks overvoltage damage to downstream components; using it where 39 V is required may cause insufficient clamping. The RKZ36BKV#P1 belongs to the RKZ-KV family with discrete voltage grades - each part number (e.g., RKZ33BKV, RKZ39BKV) is individually characterized and calibrated.
