Product details
Overview
HZ30-3LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and precision regulation in analog signal chains and stabilized power supplies. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 30.2–31.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 27.0 Ω, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, and junction temperature rating up to 175°C. It is used in high-stability reference circuits requiring reduced thermal drift and low noise floor.
For engineers reviewing the HZ30-3LTD-E datasheet, HZ30-3LTD-E pinout, HZ30-3LTD-E application, or HZ30-3LTD-E equivalent, this device is selected for low-noise analog references, precision shunt regulation, and voltage clamping where zener impedance and temperature coefficient are critical design parameters.
Technical Context
The HZ30-3LTD-E belongs to the HZ-L Series, engineered to achieve approximately 1/3–1/10 lower diode noise than the legacy HZ series. Its silicon planar construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low leakage current (≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V).
It operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with cathode-anode polarity, designed for DC-biased applications only (per datasheet Note 1). The device exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.06 %/°C (≈+18 mV/°C) near 30 V, confirmed by Fig.2 in REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 30.2–31.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation range under nominal bias |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 27.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - sets thermal derating limit for PCB layout and heatsinking |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - enables operation in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Package | DO-35 (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A) - standard axial-leaded through-hole package with orange body and navy-blue cathode band |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial-leaded package per JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A; body color orange; cathode identified by navy-blue band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal of reverse-biased junction | Connected to regulated voltage node; carries full zener current during regulation |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal (reference ground node) | Bias path return; must be held at stable potential relative to system ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low diode noise | Approximately 1/3–1/10 lower than HZ-series predecessors - directly improves SNR in precision ADC references and low-level analog stages |
| Stable zener impedance | 27.0 Ω max at 0.5 mA - enables predictable loop gain and transient response in shunt regulator feedback networks |
| Wide operating temperature range | −55°C to +175°C junction - supports deployment in unheated industrial enclosures and engine-control modules |
| Low leakage current | ≤1 μA at 2.0 V reverse bias - minimizes error contribution in high-resistance voltage divider or op-amp reference inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5257B (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 30 V ±5%, rd = 35 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Higher dynamic resistance increases regulation error under load variation; wider VZ tolerance affects absolute accuracy | Select when higher power margin is prioritized over low-noise performance and tight VZ matching |
| BZX55-C30 (Vishay) | Zener voltage 30 V ±5%, rd = 30 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Slightly higher impedance and no documented low-noise optimization; broader VZ spread reduces channel-to-channel matching | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where sub-μA leakage and ultra-low noise are non-critical |
Compared with 1N5257B and BZX55-C30, the HZ30-3LTD-E provides superior noise performance and tighter VZ tolerance (±2.3% vs. ±5%), making it preferred for metrology-grade references and audio signal conditioning where spectral purity and stability are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ30-3LTD-E?
The HZ30-3LTD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 30.2 V to 31.6 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. This 1.4 V span reflects the device's tight manufacturing tolerance within the HZ-L Series' 30 V nominal group.
Is HZ30-3LTD-E suitable for AC-coupled or switching applications?
No - the HZ30-3LTD-E is characterized and rated for DC operation only, as explicitly noted in the datasheet ("Tested with DC"). Its dynamic resistance and noise specifications apply under steady-state reverse bias; it is not validated for high-frequency or pulsed operation, and its DO-35 package lacks RF shielding or fast recovery characteristics required for AC or switching use.
Does HZ30-3LTD-E meet RoHS compliance?
Yes - HZ30-3LTD-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive, as confirmed by Renesas' environmental compliance documentation and material declarations. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) above threshold limits, and is rated for "Standard" quality grade applications.
What is the thermal derating behavior of HZ30-3LTD-E above 25°C ambient?
Per Fig.3 in REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00, the HZ30-3LTD-E's power dissipation linearly derates from 400 mW at 25°C to 0 mW at 175°C ambient. The derating slope is approximately −3.2 mW/°C, meaning at 75°C ambient, maximum allowable Pd is ~240 mW. This requires appropriate PCB copper area or airflow for sustained 30 V/10 mA operation.
How does the noise performance of HZ30-3LTD-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ30-3LTD-E achieves approximately 1/3–1/10 lower diode noise than the legacy HZ series, as stated in the Features section of REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. This improvement stems from optimized silicon planar processing and tighter process control - verified by comparative noise spectral density measurements in Renesas' characterization reports for the HZ-L Series.
