Product details
Overview
HZ24-2L-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode engineered for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 24.3 V (min) to 24.7 V (max), dynamic resistance of 120 Ω at 0.5 mA test current, and maximum power dissipation of 400 mW in DO-35 package. It serves as a stable reference in sensor signal conditioning and low-drift power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the HZ24-2L-E datasheet, HZ24-2L-E pinout, HZ24-2L-E application, or HZ24-2L-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.1% at 24.5 V nominal), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility for through-hole PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The HZ24-2L-E operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using silicon planar junction technology optimized for reduced flicker and thermal noise. Its zener breakdown mechanism is stabilized by low leakage (<1 μA at VR = 20.9 V) and tightly controlled dynamic impedance (120 Ω).
Designed for DC-biased operation only, it exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C and maintains stable regulation across ambient temperatures from −55°C to +175°C, with derated power dissipation above 25°C per the published thermal curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 23.6 V min / 24.7 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight 4.5% tolerance band for precision reference use |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 120 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole layouts without forced cooling |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 20.9 V - reduces error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive instrumentation |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows reliable operation in industrial environments with elevated board temperatures |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), 2.0 mm diameter × 4.2 mm body length, orange body color with navy blue cathode band. Mass: 0.13 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (Anode) | Positive terminal of zener junction | Typically tied to ground or lower-potential rail; forms reference return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise zener structure | 1/3–1/10 noise level vs. standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and high-resolution ADC references |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±2.1% at nominal 24.5 V - eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in production calibration |
| Stable dynamic impedance | 120 Ω max at 0.5 mA - maintains regulation accuracy across varying load currents in feedback networks |
| High-temperature capability | 175°C max junction temperature - supports deployment in engine control units and industrial motor drives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | Zener voltage 24 V ±5%, rd = 18 Ω, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Higher power rating but wider tolerance and no low-noise optimization | Select when higher power handling is required and noise is not critical |
| BZX85C24 | Zener voltage 24 V ±5%, rd = 30 Ω, Pd = 1.3 W, DO-41 package | Lower dynamic resistance but uncharacterized noise performance and looser voltage spec | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial supplies where 5% tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with 1N4749A and BZX85C24, the HZ24-2L-E trades higher dynamic resistance for significantly lower noise and tighter voltage tolerance-making it optimal for metrology-grade references rather than general-purpose regulation.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ24-2L-E?
The HZ24-2L-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 23.6 V minimum to 24.7 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This corresponds to a nominal value of 24.15 V with ±2.1% tolerance, verified per Renesas document REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Is HZ24-2L-E suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the HZ24-2L-E uses a DO-35 glass axial package with 2.0 mm diameter and 4.2 mm body length, intended exclusively for through-hole PCB mounting. It is not compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes used for SMD components. The HZ24-2L-E requires axial lead forming and manual or automated insertion into plated-through holes.
Does HZ24-2L-E have a specified noise spectral density?
The HZ24-2L-E datasheet does not provide numerical noise spectral density (nV/√Hz), but explicitly states its noise level is approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of the standard HZ series. This comparative specification is measured under identical DC bias conditions and confirms its suitability for low-noise reference design where HZ24-2L-E replaces higher-noise predecessors.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ24-2L-E?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZ24-2L-E is 1 μA at VR = 20.9 V and Ta = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of REJ03G0182-0300. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference nodes and minimizes error current in precision feedback paths involving the HZ24-2L-E.
Can HZ24-2L-E be used in place of HZ24-2L without modification?
Yes, HZ24-2L-E and HZ24-2L share identical electrical specifications, package (DO-35), pinout, and marking-only differing in the suffix "E", which denotes Renesas' enhanced manufacturing revision with improved consistency and screening. No PCB or circuit changes are needed when substituting HZ24-2L-E for HZ24-2L in existing designs.
