Product details
Overview
HZ27-3LRE-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 27.2–28.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, 24.0 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 HZ27-3LRE-E datasheet, HZ27-3LRE-E pinout, HZ27-3LRE-E application, or HZ27-3LRE-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.5%), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility for through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with DC-tested zener characteristics and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C near 27 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Its low dynamic resistance (24.0 Ω) and low leakage support stable regulation under light-load conditions.
The HZ27-3LRE-E uses a silicon planar junction structure with navy-blue cathode band marking and orange body color, packaged in JEITA-standard DO-35 (GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 26.0 mm lead length. It is rated for 175°C junction temperature and −55 to +175°C storage range.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Diode noise level ≈1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and precision ADC references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5255BTR | Zener voltage 27 V ±5%, rd = 35 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Higher voltage tolerance and impedance; higher power but no low-noise optimization | Select when absolute cost or availability outweighs noise and tempco requirements |
| BZX84-C27LT1G | Zener voltage 27 V ±5%, rd = 50 Ω, Pd = 300 mW, SOT-23 package | SMT-only, higher impedance, no low-noise specification, lower power rating | Select only for space-constrained PCBs where through-hole mounting is not feasible |
Compared with 1N5255BTR and BZX84-C27LT1G, the HZ27-3LRE-E delivers superior low-noise performance and tighter tempco for precision analog systems, while maintaining DO-35 compatibility-making it optimal for legacy-replacement and metrology-grade designs where spectral purity and thermal stability are prioritized over raw power or footprint size.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ27-3LRE-E?
The HZ27-3LRE-E 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 its ±2.5% tolerance grade within the HZ-L family's binned voltage variants, ensuring repeatable performance in calibrated reference designs.
Does HZ27-3LRE-E support surface-mount assembly?
No, the HZ27-3LRE-E is packaged exclusively in the DO-35 axial glass case (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A) and is intended for through-hole mounting only. Its 26.0 mm lead length and 2.0 mm body diameter are optimized for wave soldering and manual insertion-not compatible with SMT reflow profiles or pick-and-place equipment.
How does the noise performance of HZ27-3LRE-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ27-3LRE-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of conventional HZ-series Zeners due to optimized silicon planar junction processing and low-leakage design. This is verified per Renesas characterization and makes it suitable for applications where broadband noise below 10 kHz must be minimized-such as precision DAC references and low-level sensor amplifiers.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZ27-3LRE-E?
The HZ27-3LRE-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 20.9 V and Ta = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and prevents loading errors in micropower circuits where input currents must remain below 100 nA.
Can HZ27-3LRE-E be used in place of HZ27-3L?
Yes-the HZ27-3LRE-E is a Renesas-qualified variant of the HZ27-3L, sharing identical electrical specifications, DO-35 packaging, and pinout. The "E" suffix denotes enhanced screening or traceability per Renesas internal standards, with no functional or parametric deviation from HZ27-3L in the REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet.
