Product details
Overview
HZ30-3-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in stabilized power supplies, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 30.2–31.6 V at 2 mA test current, 500 mW power dissipation, and low dynamic resistance of 23 Ω - deployed in industrial DC-DC feedback loops and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZ30-3-E datasheet, HZ30-3-E pinout, HZ30-3-E application, or HZ30-3-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.3% at 30.2–31.6 V), temperature coefficient (−0.04%/°C), DO-35 package compatibility, and reverse leakage performance under 1 µA at VR = 23.3 V.
Technical Context
The HZ30-3-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with cathode-anode polarity, optimized for DC-stable biasing where precise, low-drift voltage references are required. Its junction temperature rating of 175°C supports operation in thermally demanding environments.
Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 2 mA with a maximum dynamic resistance of 23 Ω, ensuring stable regulation under varying load conditions. The −0.04%/°C temperature coefficient minimizes drift across ambient temperatures from −55°C to +175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30.2–31.6 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines regulated output voltage range in shunt configuration |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 500 mW - sets maximum continuous thermal load without derating below 25°C ambient |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 23 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness against current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 23.3 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient | −0.04%/°C - enables predictable, low-drift behavior over industrial temperature range |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows reliable operation in enclosed or high-ambient thermal environments |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 23 Ω max ensures tight voltage regulation under ±10% current variation in feedback networks |
| Wide zener voltage range coverage | Part of HZ Series spanning 1.6–38 V - enables single-source design flexibility across multiple supply rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | Zener voltage 27 V (±5%), Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package, rd = 10 Ω | Higher power and lower impedance but 3 V lower nominal VZ; requires circuit recalibration | Select when higher power margin and tighter regulation are needed, and 27 V is acceptable system reference |
| BZX55C30 | Zener voltage 30 V (±5%), Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package, rd = 35 Ω, TC = +0.06%/°C | Same package and nominal voltage but wider VZ tolerance and positive tempco increases drift risk | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where ±5% VZ and higher rd are acceptable trade-offs |
Compared with 1N4749A and BZX55C30, the HZ30-3-E offers tighter voltage tolerance (±2.3% vs. ±5%), superior temperature stability (−0.04%/°C vs. +0.06%/°C), and DO-35 compatibility - making it optimal for precision industrial references where drift and calibration stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ30-3-E?
The HZ30-3-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 30.2 V to 31.6 V when tested at IZ = 2 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±2.3% tolerance is tighter than standard Zener diodes like BZX55C30 (±5%), supporting higher-accuracy regulation in feedback and reference circuits.
What package type does HZ30-3-E use and how is polarity identified?
HZ30-3-E uses the DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with a navy blue cathode band marking terminal 1. Pin 1 is cathode and must be connected toward the higher potential side of the series resistor in shunt regulator configurations.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ30-3-E and under what condition?
The HZ30-3-E exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA at VR = 23.3 V and Ta = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision reference applications where load currents are sub-microampere.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZ30-3-E affect its performance in industrial environments?
The HZ30-3-E has a temperature coefficient of −0.04%/°C, meaning its zener voltage decreases by approximately 12 mV per 10°C rise near 30 V. This low, predictable drift enables stable operation from −55°C to +125°C ambient without external compensation in industrial control and instrumentation systems.
Can HZ30-3-E replace BZX55C30 in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - HZ30-3-E shares the DO-35 package, identical pinout (cathode/anode), and same 500 mW power rating as BZX55C30, enabling direct PCB-level replacement. However, its tighter VZ tolerance (±2.3% vs. ±5%) and negative tempco (−0.04%/°C vs. +0.06%/°C) may improve regulation accuracy and thermal stability without hardware modification.
