Product details
Overview
HZ30-2J-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 29.2–30.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, 400 mW power dissipation, 27 Ω dynamic resistance, and DO-35 glass package with navy blue cathode band.
For engineers reviewing the HZ30-2J-E datasheet, HZ30-2J-E pinout, HZ30-2J-E application, or HZ30-2J-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.5% at 30 V), low noise performance (~1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), and suitability for stabilized reference supplies in instrumentation and sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The HZ30-2J-E employs a silicon planar junction structure to achieve low leakage current (<1 μA at VR = 20.9 V) and stable zener breakdown with minimal voltage drift over temperature. Its design targets DC voltage reference stability rather than transient suppression or surge handling.
It operates within a junction temperature range of −55°C to +175°C and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C, making it suitable for applications where thermal drift compensation is required via complementary components or circuit topology.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.2–30.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback loops or biasing networks |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 27 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance and high regulation accuracy under load variation |
| 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 at VR = 20.9 V - reduces error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C typical - enables predictable drift behavior for temperature-compensated designs |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55°C to +175°C - allows deployment in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), orange body color, navy blue cathode band, 2.0 mm diameter × 26.0 mm length, 0.13 g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated positive rail; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at higher potential than anode |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground node | Serves as circuit common; must be held at lower potential than cathode to maintain zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Noise performance | Approximately 1/3–1/10 lower than standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and ADC reference buffers |
| Zener impedance stability | Low rd (27 Ω) maintained across 0.5–1 mA operating range - improves line/load regulation in low-current references |
| Voltage tolerance | ±2.5% at nominal 30 V - enables tighter system-level voltage margin control without trimming |
| Thermal robustness | 175°C max junction temperature - supports use in thermally constrained enclosures without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX85C30 (Nexperia) | 30 V ±5%, 1.3 W Pd, 40 Ω rd, DO-41 package | Higher power but higher noise and impedance - suited for general-purpose regulation, not low-noise analog | Select when thermal margin >400 mW is needed and noise is non-critical |
| 1N5257B (ON Semiconductor) | 30 V ±5%, 500 mW Pd, 35 Ω rd, DO-35 package, no low-noise specification | Lacks documented noise reduction - baseline performance only, no verified low-noise advantage | Choose for cost-sensitive legacy designs where Renesas HZ-L series noise benefit is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX85C30 and 1N5257B, the HZ30-2J-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter voltage tolerance in the same DO-35 footprint, making it the preferred choice for precision analog reference circuits where signal integrity is prioritized over raw power handling.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ30-2J-E?
The HZ30-2J-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 29.2 V to 30.6 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±2.5% tolerance is tighter than standard Zener diodes and supports accurate voltage reference design without post-manufacturing trimming.
Is HZ30-2J-E compatible with DO-35 socket footprints used for other Zener diodes?
Yes, the HZ30-2J-E uses the standard DO-35 axial glass package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 2.0 mm diameter and 26.0 mm length, matching mechanical dimensions of industry-standard DO-35 Zener diodes including 1N4749A and BZX55C30, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.
How does the noise performance of HZ30-2J-E compare to generic Zener diodes?
The HZ30-2J-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of standard HZ-series Zeners due to its optimized silicon planar structure and process control. This is confirmed in Renesas documentation REJ03G0182-0300 and makes HZ30-2J-E suitable for audio preamps and high-resolution ADC references where noise floor matters.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for HZ30-2J-E?
The HZ30-2J-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 20.9 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage minimizes error current in high-impedance reference divider networks and preserves accuracy in battery-powered or low-power analog systems.
Can HZ30-2J-E be used in temperature-compensated reference circuits?
Yes, the HZ30-2J-E has a well-characterized temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C (typical), as shown in Figure 2 of REJ03G0182-0300. This predictable negative drift allows pairing with positive-TC components (e.g., forward-biased diodes) to construct compensated reference sources with sub-10 ppm/°C stability.
