Product details
Overview
HZ20BP-JTK-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 20.2–21.1 V at 0.5 mA test current, 18.0 Ω dynamic impedance, 400 mW power dissipation, and DO-35 glass package. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZ20BP-JTK-E datasheet, HZ20BP-JTK-E pinout, HZ20BP-JTK-E application, or HZ20BP-JTK-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.5 V), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), temperature coefficient (−0.02 to −0.04 %/°C near 20 V), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility for through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The HZ20BP-JTK-E employs a silicon planar junction structure to minimize flicker and thermal noise, achieving significantly lower noise than legacy HZ-series Zeners. Its zener voltage is specified at DC test conditions (IZ = 0.5 mA), with dynamic resistance measured at IZ = 1 mA and VR = 0.5 V.
Designed for stable DC reference generation, it operates within a junction temperature range of −55°C to +175°C and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of approximately −0.03 %/°C at 20 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.2–21.1 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback loops |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 18.0 Ω at IZ = 1 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole regulator stages |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 0.5 V - maintains high impedance in off-state, reducing quiescent error |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | ≈−0.03 %/°C - enables predictable, linear drift correction in compensated references |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55°C to +175°C - allows deployment in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | Zener voltage 12 V (fixed), 22 Ω rd, 1 W Pd, DO-41 package | Higher power but wider voltage tolerance (±5%), higher noise, unsuitable for 20 V precision use | Select only if 12 V reference and higher dissipation are required; not a direct substitute for HZ20BP-JTK-E's 20.2–21.1 V range |
| BZX85C20 | Zener voltage 20 V ±5%, 50 Ω rd, 1.3 W Pd, DO-41 package | Loose tolerance and higher impedance degrade reference stability; no low-noise specification | Acceptable only in non-critical voltage clamp roles; avoid where low drift or low noise is required |
Compared with 1N4742A and BZX85C20, the HZ20BP-JTK-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance (±0.5 V), lower dynamic impedance (18.0 Ω), and documented low-noise performance-making it uniquely suited for precision analog reference applications where stability and spectral purity are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ20BP-JTK-E?
The HZ20BP-JTK-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 20.2 V to 21.1 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA, per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. This 0.9 V span reflects tight process control for precision reference use, and the device is part of the HZ20-3L variant group within the HZ-L family.
Is HZ20BP-JTK-E compatible with standard DO-35 footprint layouts?
Yes, HZ20BP-JTK-E uses the JEITA-standard DO-35 package (Renesas code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 26.0 mm body length, 2.0 mm diameter, and 4.2 mm lead spacing. Its mechanical dimensions match industry-standard DO-35 footprints, enabling drop-in replacement in existing through-hole PCB designs without layout modification.
Does HZ20BP-JTK-E specify noise performance in the datasheet?
Yes-the HZ-L Series datasheet explicitly states that its noise level is "approximately 1/3–1/10 lower than the HZ series" and identifies this as a core feature. While absolute µV/√Hz values are not tabulated, the comparative noise reduction is validated across the full HZ-L family, including HZ20BP-JTK-E, for low-frequency analog reference applications.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZ20BP-JTK-E?
The HZ20BP-JTK-E is rated for ≤1 μA reverse leakage current at VR = 0.5 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of REJ03G0182-0300. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference nodes and minimizes error in precision bias networks where input currents must remain below nanoampere levels.
Can HZ20BP-JTK-E operate reliably at elevated temperatures?
Yes-HZ20BP-JTK-E is qualified for junction temperatures from −55°C to +175°C and features a published temperature coefficient of ≈−0.03 %/°C near 20 V. Its DO-35 glass package and silicon planar construction ensure stable operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed 100°C.
