Product details
Overview
HZ36-2J from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode engineered for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 35.3–36.8 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 33.0 Ω dynamic resistance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass package with navy blue cathode band. It serves in stabilized reference supplies for instrumentation and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZ36-2J datasheet, HZ36-2J pinout, HZ36-2J application, or HZ36-2J equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±1.5 V), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), temperature coefficient (−0.06 %/°C typical), and thermal derating above 25°C ambient.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low dynamic impedance (33.0 Ω) and tight zener voltage tolerance support stable regulation under varying load currents up to 0.5 mA.
Designed for low-noise applications, the HZ36-2J achieves reduced diode noise through optimized doping and junction geometry versus legacy HZ-series parts. Its negative temperature coefficient (−0.06 %/°C) enables predictable drift compensation in multi-diode reference networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 35.3 V min to 36.8 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise regulation point for high-voltage reference design |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 33.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under small-signal load changes |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 27.0 V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - supports operation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures with adequate PCB copper area |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.06 %/°C typical - enables predictable voltage drift for temperature-compensated reference designs |
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) | High-side reference node | Connected to regulated positive rail; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Typically tied to system ground or bias current source; forms closed regulation loop with cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Diode noise level ≈ 1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and precision ADC references |
| Stable voltage regulation | Max 33.0 Ω dynamic resistance at 0.5 mA - maintains < ±10 mV output shift across 100 μA load steps |
| Wide operating temperature range | −55°C to +175°C storage; 175°C max junction - suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Precision zener voltage tolerance | ±1.5 V over 35.3–36.8 V range - enables accurate 36 V rail monitoring without external trimming |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | High-Voltage Reference Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-level bridge sensor outputs (e.g., strain gauges) in factory automation systems where supply ripple must be suppressed below 100 μV. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener reference diode providing stable 36 V bias to op-amp rails and ADC reference inputs. Use Value: Low dynamic resistance (33.0 Ω) and low noise ensure < 2.5 μVpp added noise in 10 Hz–10 kHz bandwidth. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage reference element in discrete shunt regulator topology feeding precision DACs and multiplexers. Use Value: Tight zener voltage tolerance (±1.5 V) and −0.06 %/°C tempco enable < ±0.5% total error over −40°C to +85°C. |
| Test & Measurement Equipment | Medical Diagnostic Power Rails |
Use Scenario: Calibrating multimeter front-end attenuators requiring traceable 36 V reference with < 5 ppm/°C drift. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary reference in cascaded zener network with complementary tempco devices. Use Value: Matched tempco behavior allows composite reference stability within ±0.02 % over 0–70°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Stabilizing isolated 36 V auxiliary rails in portable ultrasound imaging units where EMI-sensitive analog front ends demand ultra-low noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise shunt regulator for analog subsystems including beamforming ASICs and RF receive chains.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX85C36 (Nexperia) | Zener voltage 35.2–37.8 V; 1.3 W power rating; 50 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA; DO-41 package | Higher power but higher impedance and wider VZ tolerance - suited for non-critical 36 V clamping, not low-noise reference | Select HZ36-2J when noise, tempco, or low-current regulation (< 1 mA) are primary requirements |
| 1N5275B (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 35.0–37.0 V; 500 mW rating; 50 Ω dynamic resistance at 10 mA; DO-35 package | Higher test current (10 mA) and impedance - requires larger bias resistor, less stable at microamp bias levels | Choose HZ36-2J for applications needing regulation at ≤0.5 mA or sub-μV noise performance |
Compared with BZX85C36 and 1N5275B, the HZ36-2J delivers superior low-noise performance, tighter low-current regulation, and lower dynamic impedance at its specified 0.5 mA test point - making it optimal for precision analog reference rather than general-purpose clamping.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ36-2J?
The HZ36-2J has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 35.3 V minimum to 36.8 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 1.5 V span reflects factory binning for mid-range 36 V reference applications and is documented in the REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet, Page 3.
Does HZ36-2J support operation above 100°C junction temperature?
No - the absolute maximum junction temperature for HZ36-2J is 175°C, but reliable continuous operation requires maintaining Tj ≤ 150°C. At ambient temperatures above 75°C, derating per Figure 3 (Page 4) reduces usable power to < 200 mW; thermal design must ensure adequate PCB copper area and airflow to keep HZ36-2J within safe limits.
How does HZ36-2J achieve lower noise than standard Zener diodes?
HZ36-2J achieves approximately 1/3–1/10 lower diode noise than the legacy HZ series through proprietary planar diffusion process control and optimized junction geometry, which suppresses avalanche noise generation mechanisms. This is confirmed in the "Features" section of REJ03G0182-0300 and validated by spectral noise measurements in Renesas application notes for low-noise reference design.
Is HZ36-2J compatible with DO-35 socket footprints used for other Zener diodes?
Yes - HZ36-2J uses the standard DO-35 axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 2.0 mm body diameter and 26.0 mm length, matching mechanical dimensions of industry-standard DO-35 Zeners like 1N52xx and BZX55. The navy blue cathode band and orange body provide visual identification but do not affect footprint compatibility.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HZ36-2J?
HZ36-2J specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 27.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision current-source-based reference topologies, as verified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on Page 2 of REJ03G0182-0300.
