Product details
Overview
HZ2B1J-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 5.6 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass axial package. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ2B1J-E datasheet, HZ2B1J-E pinout, HZ2B1J-E application, or HZ2B1J-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-noise performance (≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C, and suitability for low-current (<1 mA) stabilized references where thermal drift and broadband noise must be minimized.
Technical Context
The HZ2B1J-E employs a planar-diffused junction structure with controlled doping profiles to achieve reduced generation-recombination noise and improved long-term stability versus conventional Zener diodes. Its zener voltage is specified at 0.5 mA DC test current, with dynamic resistance measured under identical conditions.
Designed for operation in the 5–38 V range, the HZ2B1J-E belongs to the HZ-L series characterized by navy-blue cathode band marking, orange body color, and JEITA package code GRZZ0002ZB-A (DO-35). It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 5.6 V, minimizing thermal drift in ambient-stable environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.5 V to 5.8 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference point for feedback or biasing |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 80 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal AC impedance variation under small-signal perturbations |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - guarantees negligible shunt path error in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Zener Voltage Tempco (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive analog stages |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - allows reliable operation in industrial-grade thermal environments |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C5V6 (ON Semiconductor) | Higher dynamic resistance (100 Ω vs. 80 Ω), wider VZ tolerance (±5%), no published noise spec | Acceptable for general-purpose regulation but unsuitable for <100 nV/√Hz noise-critical designs | Select HZ2B1J-E when noise floor or tempco is primary constraint; BZX55C5V6 only if cost or availability dominates |
| MMSZ5232B (Diodes Inc.) | SMT SOD-123 package (not axial), 90 Ω rd, 5.5–5.9 V VZ range, no low-noise characterization | Enables automated assembly but lacks documented noise reduction and requires layout redesign | Choose HZ2B1J-E for through-hole legacy designs requiring verified low-noise behavior; MMSZ5232B only for space-constrained new designs accepting higher noise |
Compared with BZX55C5V6 and MMSZ5232B, the HZ2B1J-E delivers uniquely verified low-noise performance and tighter tempco-making it the sole option among the three qualified for sub-100 nV/√Hz analog reference applications without additional filtering or calibration.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ2B1J-E?
The HZ2B1J-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 5.5 V to 5.8 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.3 V span reflects the device's tight binning within the HZ-L series and ensures predictable reference accuracy without post-manufacture calibration. The value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Does HZ2B1J-E support operation above 100°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the HZ2B1J-E is rated for storage from −55°C to +175°C and has a maximum junction temperature of 175°C. At elevated ambient temperatures, derating applies per Figure 3 (Page 4): at 100°C ambient, maximum allowable power dissipation drops to approximately 220 mW. The HZ2B1J-E remains functional and stable within these limits when mounted on standard FR-4 PCB with typical thermal relief.
How does the noise performance of HZ2B1J-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ2B1J-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of the legacy HZ series, as explicitly stated in the Features section of REJ03G0182-0300. This reduction stems from optimized planar diffusion and junction geometry that suppresses generation-recombination noise-making it suitable for applications where broadband noise below 100 kHz must remain below 100 nV/√Hz.
Is HZ2B1J-E compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
No-HZ2B1J-E uses a DO-35 glass axial package with tin-lead (SnPb) metallization, and Renesas documentation does not specify lead-free soldering compatibility. The device is intended for wave or hand-soldering with traditional eutectic solder. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consult Renesas' newer HZ-L series variants marked with "-E3" or "-G" suffixes, which are not applicable to HZ2B1J-E.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HZ2B1J-E?
The HZ2B1J-E has a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA when tested at VR = 2.0 V and Ta = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal current draw in high-impedance reference divider networks and preserves accuracy in battery-powered applications where standby current must remain below 100 nA.
