Product details
Overview
HZ33-2-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for voltage regulation in low-power stabilized power supplies, with a nominal zener voltage of 33 V (min 33.2 V, max 34.6 V at IZ = 2 mA), 500 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of 120 Ω at 2 mA - used in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZ33-2-E datasheet, HZ33-2-E pinout, HZ33-2-E application, or HZ33-2-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.3% at 33 V), temperature coefficient (−0.06 %/°C), DO-35 package compatibility, and low leakage current (<1 µA at VR = 25 V).
Technical Context
This discrete Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage under varying load and line conditions. Its planar construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low noise, with junction temperature rated up to 175°C for industrial ambient operation.
It is specified for DC testing only, with reverse current limited to ≤1 µA at VR = 25 V and dynamic resistance measured at 2 mA zener current. The −0.06 %/°C temperature coefficient indicates negative drift, requiring thermal compensation in high-accuracy references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33.2–34.6 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines regulated output range in shunt regulator designs |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 500 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 120 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in feedback paths |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 25 V - ensures minimal quiescent loss in standby or low-current bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.06 %/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for temperature-stable references |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C maximum - enables operation in high-ambient industrial environments without forced cooling |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial leaded package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), 2.0 mm diameter × 26.0 mm length, cathode identified by navy blue band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased terminal where zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 (unbanded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 120 Ω at 2 mA - improves load regulation and reduces output ripple in shunt configurations |
| Wide zener voltage range | 33.2–34.6 V - supports tight-tolerance voltage clamping for 33 V rail protection |
| Stable temperature coefficient | −0.06 %/°C - enables predictable drift behavior for compensated reference designs |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4747A | Zener voltage 20 V (not 33 V); Pd = 1 W; DO-41 package; rd = 22 Ω at 12.5 mA | Higher power, lower impedance, but incompatible voltage grade - requires redesign of resistor network and thermal layout | Select only if 20 V regulation is acceptable and higher power margin is needed |
| BZX55-C33 | Zener voltage 33 V (32.4–33.6 V); Pd = 500 mW; DO-35; rd = 90 Ω at 5 mA; tighter tolerance (±5%) | Nearly identical voltage range and package, but lower dynamic resistance and different test current - may improve regulation in high-precision feedback | Valid alternative when lower rd and tighter VZ spread are prioritized over Renesas-specific qualification |
Compared with HZ33-2-E, 1N4747A offers higher power and lower impedance but targets 20 V regulation, while BZX55-C33 matches the 33 V grade with improved rd and tighter VZ tolerance - both require verification of thermal performance and PCB footprint compatibility despite shared DO-35 form factor.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ33-2-E at 2 mA test current?
The HZ33-2-E has a zener voltage range of 33.2 V to 34.6 V when tested at IZ = 2 mA, corresponding to Grade "-2" in the HZ33 family. This 1.4 V span reflects ±2.3% tolerance around the nominal 33 V rating, verified per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0180-0600 Rev.6.00.
Is HZ33-2-E compatible with standard DO-35 footprint layouts?
Yes, HZ33-2-E uses the DO-35 package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 2.0 mm body diameter and 26.0 mm length, matching industry-standard DO-35 mechanical dimensions. The cathode is marked by a navy blue band, ensuring correct orientation during manual or automated placement of HZ33-2-E.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current specification for HZ33-2-E?
HZ33-2-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of ≤1 µA at VR = 25 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-backed or always-on circuits where standby current must be minimized - a confirmed parameter from the Electrical Characteristics table on page 4 of the datasheet.
Does HZ33-2-E have a positive or negative temperature coefficient?
HZ33-2-E exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −0.06 %/°C, meaning its zener voltage decreases slightly as junction temperature increases. This behavior is documented in Figure 2 of the datasheet and must be accounted for in temperature-critical reference designs using HZ33-2-E.
Can HZ33-2-E be used in place of HZ33-3 or HZ33-1 variants?
No - HZ33-2-E is not interchangeable with HZ33-1 or HZ33-3 without circuit validation. Each grade differs in zener voltage range: HZ33-1 is 31.2–32.6 V, HZ33-2-E is 33.2–34.6 V, and HZ33-3 is 34.2–35.7 V. Substituting HZ33-2-E for another grade alters regulation point and may cause system-level overvoltage or undervoltage faults.
