Product details
Overview
HZ20BPTK-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 20.2 V to 21.1 V at 0.5 mA test current, dynamic resistance of 100 Ω max, power dissipation of 400 mW, and junction temperature rating up to 175°C. It is used in stabilized reference supplies for instrumentation amplifiers and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZ20BPTK-E datasheet, HZ20BPTK-E pinout, HZ20BPTK-E application, or HZ20BPTK-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.9 V), low noise performance relative to standard HZ series, DO-35 package compatibility, and thermal stability across −55°C to +175°C storage range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with DC-tested zener characteristics, designed for low-noise applications where ripple rejection and voltage stability under varying load are critical. Its zener voltage temperature coefficient is approximately −0.04 %/°C near 20 V, supporting stable biasing in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends.
The HZ20BPTK-E exhibits low leakage current (≤1 μA at VR = 15 V) and low zener impedance (100 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA), enabling high-accuracy regulation without external filtering. It is not intended for transient suppression or high-current shunt regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.2 V min to 21.1 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for calibration-critical circuits |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 100 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under small-signal load changes |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with limited heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 15 V - reduces error contribution in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - enables reliable operation in industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures |
| Storage Temperature | −55°C to +175°C - compatible with reflow soldering and extended environmental qualification |
Pinout & Package

| 2 (Anode) | Positive terminal of zener junction | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential reference point; unmarked end |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise zener operation | Noise level ~1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and ADC reference buffers |
| Wide zener voltage range support | Part of HZ-L family covering 5.2 V to 38 V - allows single-supplier sourcing across multiple reference voltages |
| Stable temperature coefficient | γZ ≈ −0.04 %/°C near 20 V - minimizes drift-induced error in precision voltage references |
| High reliability packaging | DO-35 glass encapsulation with 175°C junction rating - suitable for long-life industrial and test equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A | Zener voltage 12 V, Pd = 1 W, rd = 9 Ω, DO-41 package | Higher power, lower impedance, but wider VZ tolerance (±5%) and no low-noise specification | Select when higher current capability and tighter rd outweigh noise and tolerance requirements |
| BZX55C20 | Zener voltage 20 V, Pd = 500 mW, rd = 50 Ω, DO-35 package, no published noise data | Same package and nominal voltage, but lacks documented low-noise performance and has looser VZ tolerance (±5%) | Acceptable for non-critical references where cost is prioritized over noise and precision |
Compared with 1N4742A and BZX55C20, the HZ20BPTK-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter voltage tolerance in the same DO-35 footprint, making it preferred for metrology-grade references despite its lower power rating.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ20BPTK-E?
The HZ20BPTK-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 20.2 V minimum to 21.1 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.9 V total tolerance reflects tight binning for precision reference use, distinct from broader-tolerance variants like HZ20-2L (19.5–20.4 V) or HZ20-3L (20.2–21.1 V).
Is HZ20BPTK-E pin-compatible with other DO-35 Zener diodes?
Yes, the HZ20BPTK-E uses the standard DO-35 package with cathode band marking on lead 1 and anode on lead 2, matching mechanical and electrical pinout of all JEDEC DO-35 Zener diodes including 1N47xx and BZX55 series. No PCB layout change is required for substitution within the same package outline.
Does HZ20BPTK-E meet low-noise requirements for audio applications?
Yes - the HZ20BPTK-E belongs to the HZ-L series, explicitly characterized for low-noise operation with noise levels approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of the standard HZ series. Its low dynamic resistance (100 Ω max) and low leakage (≤1 μA) make it suitable for high-fidelity audio reference stages and phono preamp bias networks.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before breakdown in HZ20BPTK-E?
The HZ20BPTK-E does not specify a "maximum reverse current before breakdown" because it is a Zener diode designed to operate in controlled reverse breakdown. Its rated test current is IZ = 0.5 mA, and it maintains regulation up to its 400 mW power limit - corresponding to ~19.8 mA at 20.2 V. Exceeding Pd risks thermal runaway.
Can HZ20BPTK-E be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the HZ20BPTK-E is supplied only in the through-hole DO-35 axial glass package. It is not available in SMD variants such as SOD-123 or SOD-323. For surface-mount equivalents, consider Renesas' HZ20BPTK-E's functional counterparts in the HZ-L series with alternate packaging, which must be verified separately.
