Product details
Overview
HZ27-3JTD from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 27.2–28.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, 400 mW power dissipation, 150 Ω dynamic impedance, and DO-35 glass package with orange body and navy blue cathode band.
For engineers reviewing the HZ27-3JTD datasheet, HZ27-3JTD pinout, HZ27-3JTD application, or HZ27-3JTD equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.5%), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), and suitability for stabilized reference supplies in instrumentation and sensor front-ends.
Technical Context
The HZ27-3JTD operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage reference, using planar diffusion technology to achieve stable breakdown with minimal flicker noise. Its low leakage (<1 μA at VR = 22.3 V) and tight zener voltage distribution support high-accuracy biasing in low-current analog stages.
Designed for DC-regulated operation, it exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C and maintains zener impedance below 150 Ω across its rated test current range (0.5–1 mA), enabling predictable load regulation in feedback networks without active compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27.2–28.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable reference point for precision biasing |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts with natural convection cooling |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 22.3 V - preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in wide-temperature industrial environments |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175 °C - allows reliable operation in thermally constrained enclosures |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener structure | 1/3–1/10 lower noise than standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and sensor signal conditioning |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±2.5% over 27.2–28.6 V range - reduces need for post-calibration trimming in production |
| Low dynamic impedance | 150 Ω max - improves line and load regulation in unregulated input scenarios |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX85C27 (Nexperia) | VZ = 27 V ±5%, rd = 40 Ω typical, Pd = 1.3 W, DO-41 package | Higher power handling but wider VZ tolerance and no low-noise specification | Select when higher surge capability is required and noise is not critical |
| 1N5259B (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 27 V ±5%, rd = 45 Ω typical, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Same package but lacks documented low-noise optimization and tighter TC | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where ±5% VZ and standard noise floor are acceptable |
Compared with BZX85C27 and 1N5259B, the HZ27-3JTD delivers superior noise performance and tighter voltage tolerance in the same DO-35 footprint, making it preferred for metrology-grade references-though its 400 mW rating requires careful thermal design in high-ambient environments.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ27-3JTD?
The HZ27-3JTD has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 27.2 V to 28.6 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25 °C. This 1.4 V span reflects ±2.5% tolerance around the nominal 27.9 V center point, verified per Renesas REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00 test conditions. The HZ27-3JTD must be operated within this range to meet its specified dynamic resistance and temperature coefficient.
Does HZ27-3JTD support operation above 100 °C ambient temperature?
Yes, the HZ27-3JTD is rated for storage from −55 to +175 °C and junction temperature up to 175 °C. At 100 °C ambient, derated power dissipation drops to approximately 240 mW per Figure 3 in the datasheet. Proper PCB copper area and airflow ensure the HZ27-3JTD remains within safe operating limits-no additional heatsinking is required for typical 400 mW DC operation below 85 °C ambient.
How does the noise performance of HZ27-3JTD compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ27-3JTD achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of conventional HZ-series Zeners due to optimized planar diffusion and low-leakage junction design. This is confirmed in Renesas documentation as a family-level feature of the HZ-L Series. For low-frequency (<10 Hz) applications like strain gauge bridges or high-resolution ADC references, the HZ27-3JTD's noise reduction directly improves measurement repeatability and effective resolution.
Is HZ27-3JTD compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HZ27-3JTD's DO-35 glass package and axial leads are rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. The device's maximum junction temperature of 175 °C provides sufficient margin, and Renesas confirms compatibility in application notes for HZ-L Series assembly. Thermal shock resistance is validated per JEDEC J-STD-020, supporting automated manufacturing of the HZ27-3JTD without cracking or parameter shift.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZ27-3JTD at rated voltage?
The HZ27-3JTD specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA when tested at VR = 22.3 V and Ta = 25 °C. This value is measured well below the zener knee and ensures minimal parasitic loading on high-impedance reference nodes. The low IR contributes to the HZ27-3JTD's stability in battery-powered precision instruments where quiescent current must remain sub-microampere.
