Product details
Overview
RKZ5.6BKU#P6 from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog and power-supply feedback circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V (min 5.31 V, max 5.92 V) at 10 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 80 Ω, 700 mW power dissipation, and ESD capability of ±30 kV (HBM). It is used in compact DC-DC converter reference stages and microcontroller I/O protection networks.
For engineers reviewing the RKZ5.6BKU#P6 datasheet, RKZ5.6BKU#P6 pinout, RKZ5.6BKU#P6 application, or RKZ5.6BKU#P6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SRP-F flat-lead SMT package, tight 5.6 V tolerance band, low rd for stable regulation under load variation, and high ESD robustness suitable for industrial edge nodes and automotive body electronics.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals. Its planar junction structure ensures predictable temperature coefficient behavior (±0.04 %/°C typical near 5.6 V), and its SRP-F package enables high-density PCB layout with minimal thermal resistance to ambient.
The device is characterized at 25°C with pulsed 40 ms testing to avoid self-heating artifacts. Its 150°C maximum junction temperature and –55°C to +150°C storage range support operation in extended-temperature industrial environments without derating below 70°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.31–5.92 V at IZ = 10 mA - defines stable regulation window for 5 V system references |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 10 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 700 mW at Ta = 25°C on 50×50 mm board - sets maximum continuous current limit (~125 mA at 5.6 V) |
| ESD Capability | ±30 kV per HBM (C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω) - enables direct placement on exposed I/O lines without external TVS |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C max - allows operation in sealed enclosures up to 105°C ambient with proper board thermal design |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 2.5 V - ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V6 (Nexperia) | Same 5.6 V nominal, but SOT-23 package (larger footprint), 90 Ω rd, 350 mW Pd | Limited to ≤70 mA continuous use; unsuitable for high-current reference or ESD-heavy ports | Select when legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is required and ESD >15 kV is not mandated |
| MMSZ5232BS (ON Semiconductor) | SOD-123 package, 5.6 V, 60 Ω rd, 500 mW Pd, ±25 kV HBM ESD | Lower ESD rating and higher thermal resistance reduce reliability in unshielded industrial field nodes | Prefer where cost is primary constraint and board space allows SOD-123; verify layout for thermal relief |
Compared with BZX84-C5V6 and MMSZ5232BS, RKZ5.6BKU#P6 offers superior ESD resilience, tighter VZ tolerance, and higher power headroom in a smaller SRP-F footprint-making it optimal for next-generation space-constrained, high-reliability embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RKZ5.6BKU#P6 at 10 mA?
The RKZ5.6BKU#P6 exhibits a Zener voltage range of 5.31 V to 5.92 V when tested at IZ = 10 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±5.5% tolerance band ensures compatibility with 5 V system margins while maintaining sufficient headroom for feedback loop stability in switching regulators. The specification is guaranteed per Renesas preliminary datasheet REJ03G1700-0100 Rev.1.00.
Does RKZ5.6BKU#P6 support automatic optical inspection (AOI) after reflow?
Yes, RKZ5.6BKU#P6 features a laser-marked cathode indicator and standardized SRP-F footprint that is fully compatible with industry-standard AOI systems. The flat-lead geometry and consistent marking position (cathode mark adjacent to Pin 1) enable reliable solder-joint and polarity verification without custom algorithm tuning. This capability is confirmed in Renesas package documentation PWSF0002ZB-A.
Can RKZ5.6BKU#P6 be used in place of a 5.1 V Zener diode like RKZ5.1BKV?
No-RKZ5.6BKU#P6 is not a functional substitute for RKZ5.1BKV due to its distinct 5.6 V nominal Zener voltage (vs. 4.84–5.37 V for RKZ5.1BKV) and higher dynamic resistance (80 Ω vs. 130 Ω). Substitution would shift regulation point by >100 mV and degrade load regulation performance. Always match Zener voltage grade to circuit reference requirement; RKZ5.6BKU#P6 is intended for 5.6 V applications only.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for RKZ5.6BKU#P6?
Renesas specifies thermal performance based on mounting conditions: when mounted on a 50 × 50 mm glass-epoxy board with 10 × 10 mm solder land, RKZ5.6BKU#P6 achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of approximately 180°C/W. This value is derived from its 700 mW Pd rating at 25°C ambient and 150°C Tj limit. Board-level thermal design must account for this to avoid exceeding Tj under sustained load.
Is RKZ5.6BKU#P6 compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, RKZ5.6BKU#P6 is RoHS-compliant (lead-free terminations, homogeneous material restrictions met) and REACH-conformant, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' environmental compliance documentation. The SRP-F package uses matte tin plating and halogen-free molding compound. Full substance declarations and CoC are available upon request from Aetrix Electronics for qualifying orders.
