Product details
Overview
HZ36-3LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 36.4–38.0 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 33.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass package with navy-blue cathode band. It serves in high-stability power supply feedback paths and sensor biasing where low noise and tight voltage tolerance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ36-3LTD-E datasheet, HZ36-3LTD-E pinout, HZ36-3LTD-E application, or HZ36-3LTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±1.4 V), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical at ~36 V), low leakage (<1 μA at VR = 28.2 V), and compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly in industrial instrumentation and telecom power modules.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low-noise performance stems from optimized doping profile and passivation, achieving diode noise ~1/3–1/10 that of legacy HZ-series parts. The zener voltage exhibits negative temperature coefficient behavior across its operating range.
Rated for 400 mW DC power dissipation at 25°C ambient, thermal derating follows a linear curve to zero at 175°C junction temperature. The DO-35 package supports axial lead mounting with 2.0 mm body diameter and 26 mm overall length, enabling reliable heat conduction via PCB copper pour or air convection in non-sealed enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36.4–38.0 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback networks requiring ±1.4 V tolerance |
| Dynamic Impedance (rd) | 33.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact layouts with adequate board-level thermal management |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 μA at VR = 28.2 V - prevents significant error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C typical - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive measurement front-ends |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - allows deployment in extended-temperature industrial environments without derating penalties |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial-leaded package (Renesas code GRZZ0002ZB-A, JEITA SC-40), 2.0 mm diameter × 26 mm length, orange body with navy-blue cathode band, mass 0.13 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal of reverse-biased junction | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed to maintain zener conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal of reverse-biased junction | Tied to ground or lower-potential rail; forms return path for zener current during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5267BLT1G | Zener voltage 36 V ±5%, 200 mW rating, SOD-123 surface-mount package | Lacks ultra-low-noise optimization; suitable only for non-critical regulation where size trumps noise performance | Select when board space is constrained and noise below 100 kHz is not required |
| Vishay BZX84-C36 | Zener voltage 36 V ±5%, 300 mW rating, SOT-23 package, higher dynamic impedance (~50 Ω) | Higher rd increases output sensitivity to load changes; not recommended for precision feedback loops | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where ±5% tolerance and moderate stability suffice |

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ36-3LTD-E?
The HZ36-3LTD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 36.4 V to 38.0 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±1.4 V tolerance reflects tight process control for use in applications demanding stable reference points without post-manufacturing trimming. The HZ36-3LTD-E datasheet (REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00) confirms this specification on page 3 under Electrical Characteristics.
Does HZ36-3LTD-E support high-temperature operation?
Yes, HZ36-3LTD-E is rated for junction temperatures from −55°C to +175°C and storage temperatures spanning the same range. Its DO-35 package enables reliable thermal conduction in industrial environments, and derating curves show usable power dissipation up to 125°C ambient before reaching thermal limits. The HZ36-3LTD-E maintains regulation integrity across this full range when properly mounted on thermally adequate PCB copper.
How does the noise performance of HZ36-3LTD-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
HZ36-3LTD-E delivers diode noise approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of legacy HZ-series Zeners due to proprietary planar diffusion and passivation techniques. This reduction is critical in low-level analog circuits such as precision ADC references and sensor excitation sources, where broadband noise directly impacts effective resolution. The HZ36-3LTD-E datasheet explicitly cites this advantage in its Features section on page 1.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ36-3LTD-E?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZ36-3LTD-E is 1 μA when measured at VR = 28.2 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference divider networks and preserves accuracy in battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems where quiescent current matters. The value is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the HZ36-3LTD-E datasheet.
Is HZ36-3LTD-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, HZ36-3LTD-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive and is lead-free. Renesas Electronics confirms environmental compliance for all HZ-L Series devices in accordance with applicable regulations, including restriction of hazardous substances. Customers should verify latest status via Renesas' official product change notifications or material declarations, as referenced in the HZ36-3LTD-E datasheet's environmental notice on page 5.
