Product details
Overview
HZ36CPTK-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 V to 38.0 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 33.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA test current, and −55 °C to +175 °C storage temperature range. It is used in high-stability power supply feedback paths and sensor biasing networks where low noise and tight voltage tolerance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the HZ36CPTK-E datasheet, HZ36CPTK-E pinout, HZ36CPTK-E application, or HZ36CPTK-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±1.5 V), low noise performance relative to legacy HZ series, DO-35 package compatibility, and thermal stability across industrial ambient conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5.6 V, with measured γZ ≈ +0.08 %/°C near 36 V - enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive designs.
Designed for DC-biased operation only, the HZ36CPTK-E specifies reverse current ≤1 μA at VR = 30.2 V and dynamic resistance measured at IZ = 0.5 mA. It is not rated for transient surge suppression or AC regulation, and requires external current limiting per absolute maximum ratings.
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 stable regulation window for feedback loop design |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 33.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating applies |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 30.2 V - ensures minimal leakage error in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175 °C max - supports operation in high-ambient industrial environments with appropriate PCB copper area |
| Package | DO-35 (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A) - standard axial-leaded through-hole package with orange body and navy-blue cathode band |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by navy-blue band; total mass ≈ 0.13 g; dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm, L = 26.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| 2 (non-banded end) | Anode | Connected to current-limiting resistor and circuit ground or lower-potential rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Noise Performance | ≈1/3–1/10 of legacy HZ-series diodes - enables use in low-noise op-amp references and precision ADC biasing |
| Zener Voltage Range | 34.2 V to 38.0 V across HZ36-xL variants - allows selection of tighter tolerance bins for production calibration |
| Thermal Stability | γZ ≈ +0.08 %/°C at 36 V - supports predictable temperature drift modeling in closed-loop systems |
| Low Leakage | IR ≤ 1 μA at 30.2 V - minimizes error current in high-impedance voltage divider networks |

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%, rd = 70 Ω @ 12 mA, SOD-123 surface-mount package | Higher test current shifts operating point; SMT footprint requires layout change | Select when board space is constrained and higher dynamic impedance is acceptable |
| Vishay BZX84-C36 | Zener voltage 36 V ±5%, rd = 90 Ω @ 5 mA, SOT-23 package, higher noise than HZ-L series | Larger voltage tolerance and higher noise limit use in precision analog stages | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where ±5% VZ and moderate noise suffice |
Compared with MMBZ5267BLT1G and BZX84-C36, the HZ36CPTK-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance, lower dynamic impedance at low test current, and significantly reduced noise - making it preferred for industrial-grade analog reference designs where stability and signal integrity are prioritized over footprint size or unit cost.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ36CPTK-E?
The HZ36CPTK-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 the "3L" variant designation within the HZ36-xL family and is tighter than standard ±5% Zener tolerances found in commodity parts.
Is HZ36CPTK-E suitable for use in automotive applications?
No, the HZ36CPTK-E is classified as a Standard-grade Renesas product intended for industrial, office, and communications equipment - not automotive or safety-critical systems. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification and is not rated for the extended temperature cycling or vibration requirements of vehicle ECUs or powertrain modules.
Does HZ36CPTK-E support AC or transient voltage regulation?
No, the HZ36CPTK-E is characterized and specified for DC operation only. Its electrical characteristics - including dynamic resistance and noise - are measured under steady-state DC bias. It is not designed or rated for surge suppression, ESD clamping, or AC waveform regulation.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before breakdown in HZ36CPTK-E?
The HZ36CPTK-E specifies a maximum reverse current of 1 μA at VR = 30.2 V, which is well below its nominal zener voltage. This low leakage ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference divider networks and supports accurate open-circuit voltage sensing prior to conduction onset.
How does the noise performance of HZ36CPTK-E compare to the original HZ series?
The HZ36CPTK-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of equivalent-voltage parts in the legacy HZ series due to optimized planar diffusion and junction geometry. This improvement is explicitly documented in Renesas' REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet and validated in low-noise op-amp reference applications.
