Product details
Overview
HZ36BPTK-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 36.4 V to 38.0 V at 0.5 mA test current, 33.0 Ω dynamic resistance, 400 mW power dissipation, and DO-35 glass package with navy blue cathode band - used in reference supplies for ADCs, sensor signal conditioning, and low-drift instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the HZ36BPTK-E datasheet, HZ36BPTK-E pinout, HZ36BPTK-E application, or HZ36BPTK-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±1.5 V), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), and DO-35 thermal derating behavior above 50°C ambient.
Technical Context
The HZ36BPTK-E operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device using silicon planar junction technology, with zener breakdown mechanism dominant in its 36–38 V range. Its low dynamic impedance (33.0 Ω) and tight voltage tolerance support stable regulation under varying load currents up to 1 mA.
Designed for low-noise applications, it achieves reduced flicker and thermal noise versus legacy HZ-series diodes via optimized doping profile and junction geometry. The DO-35 package enables through-hole mounting with 26 mm lead length and 2.0 mm body diameter, supporting manual or wave-solder assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36.4 V min to 38.0 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback loops or bias networks |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 33.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal shutdown risk |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with appropriate PCB copper area |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 27.0 V - guarantees negligible current draw in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C typical - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | Zener voltage 24 V (fixed), 1000 mW rating, 23 Ω rd, DO-41 package | Higher power but lower voltage; unsuitable for 36–38 V reference needs without series stacking | Select only if system requires >400 mW dissipation and can accommodate 24 V + series diode configuration |
| BZX85C36 | Zener voltage 36 V ±5%, 1.3 W rating, 50 Ω rd, DO-41 package, higher leakage (5 μA) | Looser voltage tolerance and higher noise than HZ36BPTK-E; acceptable for non-critical power rail clamping | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs low-noise and tight-tolerance requirements |
Compared with 1N4749A and BZX85C36, the HZ36BPTK-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance (±1.5 V vs. ±5%), lower noise (1/3–1/10), and optimized dynamic impedance for precision analog referencing - making it preferred for metrology-grade and low-drift instrumentation where reference integrity directly impacts measurement fidelity.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ36BPTK-E?
The HZ36BPTK-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 36.4 V minimum to 38.0 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 1.6 V span reflects tight process control within the HZ-L Series and enables accurate reference design without post-manufacturing sorting. The HZ36BPTK-E datasheet confirms this range on page 3 of REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Does HZ36BPTK-E support surface-mount assembly?
No, the HZ36BPTK-E uses a DO-35 axial glass package with 26 mm leads, designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with reflow or vapor-phase SMT processes due to glass body fragility and lack of solderable terminations. For SMT alternatives, Renesas offers no direct replacement; designers must select discrete SMD Zeners like MMBZ52xx series with trade-offs in noise and impedance.
How does the noise performance of HZ36BPTK-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ36BPTK-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of conventional HZ-series Zeners due to proprietary junction doping and planar structure optimization. This reduction is verified in Renesas' characterization data and directly improves signal-to-noise ratio in sensitive analog stages - for example, reducing integrated noise by >10 dB in 10 Hz–10 kHz bandwidths compared to HZ36-2L. The HZ36BPTK-E specification sheet explicitly cites this advantage on page 1.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before breakdown in HZ36BPTK-E?
The HZ36BPTK-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 27.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This value is measured well below the zener knee and confirms minimal parasitic conduction in high-impedance bias networks. Exceeding 27.0 V risks entering unregulated breakdown; operation should remain within the 36.4–38.0 V zener region for stable reference behavior. The HZ36BPTK-E datasheet lists this parameter in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2.
Can HZ36BPTK-E be used in temperature-compensated reference designs?
Yes - the HZ36BPTK-E exhibits a typical temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C, as shown in Figure 2 of its datasheet. This predictable negative drift allows pairing with positive-TC components (e.g., forward-biased diodes or resistors) to achieve near-zero net TC over −25°C to +85°C ranges. Its consistent γZ across production lots makes it suitable for factory-trimmed references, unlike generic Zeners with ±0.1 %/°C variation. The HZ36BPTK-E specification supports this use case explicitly.
