Product details
Overview
RKZ3.9BKU#P6 from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog and reference circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 3.9 V (min 3.70 V, max 4.10 V at 10 mA), with dynamic resistance of 130 Ω, power dissipation up to 700 mW, and ESD capability of ±30 kV (HBM). It is used in voltage reference stages of sensor signal conditioning and microcontroller power-supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the RKZ3.9BKU#P6 datasheet, RKZ3.9BKU#P6 pinout, RKZ3.9BKU#P6 application, or RKZ3.9BKU#P6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 3.7–4.1 V Zener tolerance at 10 mA, SRP-F surface-mount package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, thermal derating behavior up to 150°C junction temperature, and robust ±30 kV HBM ESD rating for industrial environments.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-reference element relying on controlled reverse-biased Zener breakdown. Its electrical behavior is defined under pulsed test conditions (Pw = 40 ms) to minimize self-heating, ensuring stable VZ measurement at IZ = 10 mA. The SRP-F flat-lead package enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, supporting reliable operation within the specified –55°C to +150°C storage range and 150°C maximum junction temperature.
The RKZ3.9BKU#P6 exhibits a negative temperature coefficient typical of low-voltage Zeners (<5 V), confirmed by characteristic curves in the datasheet. Its 130 Ω dynamic resistance directly impacts output impedance in shunt-regulator configurations, while its 700 mW power rating assumes mounting on a 50 × 50 mm glass-epoxy board with 10 × 10 mm solder land - a defined thermal boundary condition critical for layout-dependent derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.70–4.10 V at IZ = 10 mA - defines regulated output voltage window in shunt reference applications |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 130 Ω at IZ = 10 mA - determines load regulation error and ripple rejection in voltage reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 700 mW at Ta = 25°C on standard test board - sets maximum continuous power before thermal shutdown or degradation |

| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 1 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Package | SRP-F (Flat lead, small resin) - 2.5 × 1.5 × 0.9 mm outline optimized for automated SMT placement and space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
SRP-F is a 2-pin surface-mount flat-lead package with cathode-marked top-side marking. The device has no internal die bonding wires; terminals are formed by molded leads extending from opposite sides of the resin body. Thermal path relies on solder joint conduction to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Taped delivery (3,000 pcs/reel) | Enables high-speed pick-and-place assembly without manual handling or orientation errors |
| SRP-F flat-lead package | Reduces board footprint to 3.75 mm² and supports <0.5 mm pitch placement for ultra-compact designs |
| ±30 kV HBM ESD rating | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in cost-sensitive industrial control and sensor modules |
| 10 µA max reverse leakage at 1 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in battery-powered voltage monitor circuits |
| 150°C max junction temperature | Permits operation in enclosed enclosures or near heat-generating components without forced cooling |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4V3T1G | Zener voltage 4.3 V (min 4.01 V, max 4.59 V); SOD-123 package; 500 mW Pd | Higher nominal voltage and lower power rating limit use in 3.9 V–specific references | Select when 4.3 V regulation is acceptable and board space permits larger SOD-123 footprint |
| BZX84-C3V9 | Zener voltage 3.9 V (min 3.7 V, max 4.1 V); SOT-23 package; 300 mW Pd; 90 Ω rd | Lower power rating requires tighter current limiting; smaller SOT-23 footprint but higher thermal resistance | Choose for ultra-low-power designs where 300 mW suffices and SOT-23 placement is preferred |
Compared with MMSZ4V3T1G and BZX84-C3V9, the RKZ3.9BKU#P6 offers superior thermal performance (700 mW vs ≤500 mW), identical VZ tolerance, and enhanced ESD robustness (±30 kV vs typical ±8 kV), making it optimal for industrial environments requiring long-term stability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RKZ3.9BKU#P6 at 10 mA test current?
The RKZ3.9BKU#P6 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.70 V to 4.10 V when tested at IZ = 10 mA, resulting in a ±5.1% tolerance about the nominal 3.9 V value. This specification is verified under pulsed conditions (Pw = 40 ms) to avoid self-heating effects, and applies strictly to the RKZ3.9BKU#P6 variant as documented in Renesas preliminary datasheet REJ03G1700-0100.
Does RKZ3.9BKU#P6 support high-density PCB layouts?
Yes, RKZ3.9BKU#P6 uses the SRP-F package - a flat-lead, small-resin surface-mount outline measuring 2.5 × 1.5 × 0.9 mm - explicitly designed for compact and high-density layouts. Its lead configuration allows 0.5 mm minimum pitch placement, and the taped 3,000 pcs/reel format supports automated SMT assembly without reorientation, making RKZ3.9BKU#P6 ideal for miniaturized industrial control modules.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for RKZ3.9BKU#P6?
The maximum junction temperature (Tj) for RKZ3.9BKU#P6 is 150°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Renesas datasheet. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design - specifically mounting on a 50 × 50 mm glass-epoxy board with 10 × 10 mm solder land - and must be respected to prevent parametric drift or permanent degradation of the RKZ3.9BKU#P6's Zener characteristics.
How does the ESD rating of RKZ3.9BKU#P6 compare to standard Zener diodes?
RKZ3.9BKU#P6 achieves ±30 kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD immunity (C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω), significantly exceeding typical Zener diodes rated at ±2–8 kV. This high rating is confirmed per IR spec failure criteria and applies in both forward and reverse directions with 10-pulse testing. Engineers can rely on RKZ3.9BKU#P6 to withstand common handling and system-level transients without external protection, unlike most alternatives that require supplemental TVS devices.
Can RKZ3.9BKU#P6 be used in battery-powered applications?
Yes, RKZ3.9BKU#P6 is well-suited for battery-powered applications due to its ≤10 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 1 V and stable regulation at low test currents. When biased at 1–5 mA - well below its 10 mA nominal test point - the RKZ3.9BKU#P6 maintains usable regulation with minimal quiescent draw, enabling long operational life in portable sensors or wireless nodes where RKZ3.9BKU#P6 serves as a precision reference or supervisor threshold element.
