Product details
Overview
HZ33-1L-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode engineered for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 31.2–32.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, 400 mW power dissipation, 250 Ω dynamic impedance, and DO-35 glass package with navy-blue cathode band.
For engineers reviewing the HZ33-1L-E datasheet, HZ33-1L-E pinout, HZ33-1L-E application, or HZ33-1L-E equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise performance (1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), tight zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient stability, and suitability for low-drift reference designs in instrumentation and telecom power supplies.
Technical Context
The HZ33-1L-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with DC-tested zener breakdown characteristics, optimized for stable reference generation under low-current bias (0.5–1 mA). Its low leakage current and reduced noise floor stem from planar process refinement and controlled junction geometry.
Designed for ambient temperatures from −55°C to +175°C, it maintains zener voltage stability across thermal gradients with a typical temperature coefficient near −0.04 %/°C (≈−12.5 mV/°C) at 32 V, as confirmed by Figure 2 in REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 31.2–32.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for mid-range voltage references |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 250 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - enables reliable use in high-temperature industrial environments |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 20.2 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance reference nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX85C33 (Nexperia) | 33 V nominal, 1.3 W Pd, 60 Ω rd, DO-41 package, higher power but larger footprint | Preferred where higher current capability (>10 mA) and lower impedance are required, not low-noise priority | Select when thermal margin >400 mW is needed; avoid if board space or noise sensitivity constrain design |
| 1N5257B (ON Semiconductor) | 33 V nominal, 500 mW Pd, 35 Ω rd, DO-35, no specified low-noise optimization | Suitable for general-purpose regulation but lacks documented noise reduction versus HZ-L series | Choose for cost-sensitive non-critical references; not recommended for metrology-grade or audio applications |
Compared with BZX85C33 and 1N5257B, the HZ33-1L-E delivers uniquely low noise and tighter voltage tolerance in the same DO-35 form factor, making it optimal for high-fidelity analog systems where spectral purity and thermal stability outweigh raw power handling.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ33-1L-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ33-1L-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 31.2 V to 32.6 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA, as specified on page 3 of REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00. This 1.4 V span reflects factory binning for precision reference use, and the value is DC-measured per Note 1 in the datasheet.
Does HZ33-1L-E have a documented temperature coefficient, and what is its typical value?
Yes, the HZ33-1L-E exhibits a negative temperature coefficient typical of mid-voltage Zeners. Figure 2 in the datasheet shows γZ ≈ −0.04 %/°C (or −12.5 mV/°C) at ~32 V, confirming stable, predictable drift behavior essential for compensated reference designs.
Is HZ33-1L-E compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
The DO-35 glass package of HZ33-1L-E is rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Maximum peak temperature must not exceed 260°C for ≤10 seconds, consistent with Renesas' packaging specifications for GRZZ0002ZB-A devices.
How does the noise performance of HZ33-1L-E compare quantitatively to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ33-1L-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the broadband voltage noise of conventional HZ-series Zeners, as stated in the Features section of REJ03G0182-0300. This improvement stems from proprietary planar junction processing and is validated across the full HZ-L family, including HZ33-1L-E.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ33-1L-E, and at what voltage is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZ33-1L-E is 1 μA, measured at VR = 20.2 V (specified as "Max VR (V)" = 20.2 V in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3). This low leakage preserves accuracy in high-impedance reference divider networks.
