Product details
Overview
RKZ5.6B2KJ from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization and transient surge absorption in low-power signal paths. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V (min 5.49 V, max 5.73 V) at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 80 Ω, 150 mW power dissipation, and ESD capability of ±30 kV (HBM). It is commonly deployed in I/O port protection and reference voltage generation for microcontroller peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the RKZ5.6B2KJ datasheet, RKZ5.6B2KJ pinout, RKZ5.6B2KJ application, or RKZ5.6B2KJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 5.6 V tolerance, ultra-small UFP package footprint, low dynamic impedance, high ESD robustness, and suitability for space-constrained consumer and industrial control PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference and clamping element, leveraging silicon planar junction technology to maintain stable reverse breakdown behavior under DC bias and transient stress. Its electrical characteristics are specified at 25°C ambient with pulse testing (Pw = 40 ms) for Zener voltage and dynamic resistance.
The RKZ5.6B2KJ is optimized for surface-mount applications requiring minimal board area and high reliability in low-energy surge events. Its thermal derating curve supports operation up to 150°C junction temperature, with power dissipation decreasing linearly above 25°C ambient per the published Pd vs. Ta graph.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.49–5.73 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures precise 5.6 V reference with ±2.1% tolerance for analog sensing and supply rail monitoring. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - provides low AC impedance for effective noise suppression and stable regulation under varying load conditions. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 150 mW at Ta = 25°C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB; derates to zero at 150°C ambient. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 5 μA max at VR = 2.5 V - guarantees minimal leakage in standby mode, critical for battery-powered sensor nodes. |
| ESD Capability | ±30 kV per HBM (C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω) - enables robust protection against human-body-model electrostatic discharge without external TVS staging. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55°C to +150°C - supports operation in extended-temperature industrial environments including motor control enclosures and automotive cabin modules. |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RKZ5.6B2KJ?
The RKZ5.6B2KJ has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 5.49 V to 5.73 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±2.1% tolerance around the nominal 5.6 V value. This tight specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official Renesas datasheet REJ03G1588-0100, making RKZ5.6B2KJ suitable for applications demanding high reference accuracy without calibration.
Does RKZ5.6B2KJ support automated SMT assembly?
Yes, RKZ5.6B2KJ is supplied in embossed tape-and-reel format per package code PWSF0002ZA-A, compatible with standard 8 mm feeder systems. Its UFP (SC-79) package features precise dimensional control and coplanar leads, enabling reliable pick-and-place placement at speeds exceeding 25,000 CPH. The RKZ5.6B2KJ tape orientation and pocket depth comply with EIA-481-D standards for zero-misfeed operation.
What is the maximum reverse current for RKZ5.6B2KJ at 2.5 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) for RKZ5.6B2KJ is 5 μA when tested at VR = 2.5 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss in always-on monitoring circuits and preserves battery life in energy-harvesting sensor nodes where RKZ5.6B2KJ serves as a reference element.
Can RKZ5.6B2KJ be used for ESD protection on 3.3 V logic lines?
Yes, RKZ5.6B2KJ can protect 3.3 V logic lines when configured as a shunt clamp to ground, provided the signal swing remains below its 5.49 V minimum Zener voltage. Its ±30 kV HBM ESD rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements, and its low dynamic resistance (80 Ω) limits clamping voltage overshoot during fast transients-key for safeguarding RKZ5.6B2KJ-equipped GPIOs in industrial PLC modules.
What is the thermal derating behavior of RKZ5.6B2KJ above 25°C?
RKZ5.6B2KJ's power dissipation derates linearly from 150 mW at 25°C ambient to 0 mW at 150°C, as shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet. The derating slope is −1.25 mW/°C, meaning at 85°C ambient, its safe continuous power drops to 75 mW. This behavior must be accounted for in RKZ5.6B2KJ designs placed near heat sources like power MOSFETs or DC-DC converters in enclosed enclosures.
