Product details
Overview
HZ30-1L-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 28.2–29.6 V at 0.5 mA, 400 mW power dissipation, 27 Ω dynamic impedance, and −55 to +175 °C storage temperature range. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ30-1L-E datasheet, HZ30-1L-E pinout, HZ30-1L-E application, or HZ30-1L-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.5%), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series), DO-35 package compatibility, and thermal coefficient behavior across 25–125 °C ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The HZ30-1L-E employs a silicon planar junction structure with controlled doping to minimize avalanche noise generation, achieving significantly lower RMS noise than legacy HZ-series Zeners. Its zener voltage is specified under DC test conditions at 0.5 mA, with dynamic resistance measured at 1 mA.
This device operates within a junction temperature limit of 175 °C and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient trend above ~6 V - confirmed by Figure 2 in REJ03G0182-0300 - making it suitable for temperature-compensated reference designs when paired with positive-TC components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 28.2–29.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for mid-range supply references |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 27 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - determines load regulation sensitivity and ripple rejection capability |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 20.9 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175 °C - enables operation in industrial environments with limited heatsinking |
| Storage Temperature (Tstg) | −55 to +175 °C - supports wide-range logistics and long-term board storage without parameter shift |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5255B (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 28 V ±5%, rd = 35 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, no published noise spec | Higher voltage tolerance and impedance; lacks documented low-noise optimization | Select when absolute cost or higher power margin outweighs noise-critical performance |
| BZX84-C27 (Diodes Inc.) | Zener voltage 27 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, rd = 40 Ω, Pd = 300 mW | Surface-mount format; lower voltage rating and higher impedance; not characterized for low-noise use | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 27 V nominal suffices and noise is secondary |
Compared with the HZ30-1L-E, the 1N5255B offers higher power margin but looser voltage tolerance and unverified noise performance, while the BZX84-C27 trades axial through-hole reliability and low-noise design for compactness and reduced power handling - neither matches the HZ30-1L-E's combined low-noise, tight-tolerance, and industrial-temp DO-35 specification.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of HZ30-1L-E?
The HZ30-1L-E has a zener voltage range of 28.2 V to 29.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±2.5% tolerance around the nominal 28.9 V midpoint. This tolerance is guaranteed under DC test conditions per REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00 and applies across the full operating temperature range when used within rated power limits. The HZ30-1L-E maintains this specification without requiring external trimming or calibration.
Does HZ30-1L-E have a documented noise specification?
Yes - the HZ30-1L-E datasheet explicitly states its noise level is approximately 1/3 to 1/10 lower than the standard HZ series Zener diodes. This improvement results from optimized silicon planar junction processing and is validated across the HZ-L family. While absolute RMS noise values (nV/√Hz) are not tabulated for HZ30-1L-E individually, the relative reduction is confirmed in the Features section of REJ03G0182-0300, making the HZ30-1L-E suitable for low-noise analog reference designs where the original HZ series proved insufficient.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZ30-1L-E?
The HZ30-1L-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 20.9 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of REJ03G0182-0300. This low leakage ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference divider networks and supports accurate biasing in sensitive analog front-ends. The HZ30-1L-E maintains this performance up to its rated junction temperature of 175 °C when operated within power derating curves.
Is HZ30-1L-E compatible with DO-35 socket footprints?
Yes - the HZ30-1L-E uses the standard DO-35 package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 26.0 mm body length, 2.0 mm diameter, and 4.2 mm lead spacing (E dimension). Its mechanical dimensions match industry-standard DO-35 footprints, enabling direct replacement in existing through-hole layouts designed for axial-glass Zener diodes. The HZ30-1L-E's orange body and navy-blue cathode band also conform to DO-35 polarity marking conventions.
What is the dynamic resistance of HZ30-1L-E and why does it matter?
The HZ30-1L-E has a maximum dynamic resistance (rd) of 27 Ω at IZ = 1 mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This parameter quantifies how much the zener voltage changes per unit change in current - lower rd means better regulation under varying load conditions. For the HZ30-1L-E, 27 Ω enables stable reference performance in circuits with moderate current fluctuations, such as op-amp reference inputs or discrete regulator error amplifiers, directly improving system accuracy and line/load regulation.
