Product details
Overview
HZ3A2JTA-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 5.3 V, 400 mW power dissipation, <60 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA, and DO-35 glass package with navy-blue cathode band. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ3A2JTA-E datasheet, HZ3A2JTA-E pinout, HZ3A2JTA-E application, or HZ3A2JTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low noise performance relative to legacy HZ series, thermal coefficient behavior below 7 V, and compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly using standard DO-35 footprint.
Technical Context
The HZ3A2JTA-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with DC-tested zener breakdown at 5.3 V (min 5.3 V, max 5.6 V) under 0.5 mA test current. Its low dynamic resistance (<60 Ω) and low leakage current (<1 μA at VR = 2.0 V) support high-precision voltage referencing in low-power analog front-ends.
Designed for ambient temperatures from −55°C to +175°C, it exhibits a negative temperature coefficient typical of sub-6 V Zeners, with γZ ≈ −0.08 %/°C per Fig.2, making it suitable for applications where drift compensation is managed externally or via circuit topology.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.3 V min / 5.6 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 5 V reference designs |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - supports continuous operation up to ~75 mA at 5.3 V without heatsinking |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | <60 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - reduces error contribution in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175 °C maximum - enables use in automotive under-hood or industrial control environments |
| Noise Level | ~1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps, ADC references, and low-noise op-amp circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial lead package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), orange body with navy-blue cathode band; leads tinned, mass 0.13 g, dimensions per SC-40 standard (φD = 2.0 mm, L = 26.0 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated voltage node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Completes shunt path; tied to system ground or low-impedance return in feedback loops |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener structure | Reduces broadband voltage noise by factor of 3–10 vs. HZ-series, enabling cleaner signal chains |
| Tight VZ tolerance group | A2 grade (5.3–5.6 V) allows binning for matched reference pairs in differential circuits |
| Stable low-current regulation | Specified down to 0.5 mA IZ, supporting ultra-low-power standby references |
| High thermal reliability | 175 °C Tj rating and −55 °C to +175 °C storage range suit extended-temperature deployments |
Applications
| Audio Signal Conditioning | Precision Sensor Biasing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C5V1 (Diodes Inc.) | VZ = 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 60 Ω min, Pd = 300 mW, SOT-23 package | SMT-only; higher VZ tolerance and lower power limit reduce suitability for high-accuracy linear regulators | Select when board space constraints mandate SMT and ±5% VZ is acceptable |
| 1N5232B (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 17 Ω typ, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package, higher noise than HZ-L series | Higher noise floor limits use in audio/sensor apps; tighter rd benefits high-current regulation | Prefer for cost-sensitive 5 V supplies where noise is secondary to regulation stiffness |
Compared with BZX84-C5V1 and 1N5232B, the HZ3A2JTA-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter VZ binning in the same DO-35 form factor, making it the optimal choice for analog signal integrity-critical designs despite its premium specification tier.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ3A2JTA-E?
The HZ3A2JTA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 5.3 V minimum to 5.6 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This A2-grade binning enables precise matching in dual-reference or differential configurations. The value is DC-tested per Note 1 on page 2 of the official Renesas datasheet REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Does HZ3A2JTA-E support operation above 100°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the HZ3A2JTA-E is rated for continuous operation up to 175°C junction temperature and has a storage temperature range of −55°C to +175°C. Its DO-35 package and silicon planar construction allow reliable function in extended-temperature industrial environments, provided PCB layout maintains adequate thermal relief and power dissipation stays within 400 mW limits.
How does the noise performance of HZ3A2JTA-E compare to standard Zener diodes?
The HZ3A2JTA-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the broadband voltage noise of conventional HZ-series Zeners, as stated in the "Features" section of the Renesas datasheet. This reduction stems from proprietary silicon processing and planar junction optimization-critical for applications like audio preamps and precision ADC references where noise directly impacts signal fidelity.
Is HZ3A2JTA-E compatible with automated through-hole insertion equipment?
Yes, the HZ3A2JTA-E uses the industry-standard DO-35 axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 2.0 mm diameter body and 26.0 mm length, fully compatible with standard wave-solder and auto-insertion tooling. Lead spacing and tinning meet IPC-J-STD-002/003 requirements, and the navy-blue cathode band provides unambiguous polarity identification during placement.
What is the dynamic resistance specification for HZ3A2JTA-E and why does it matter?
The HZ3A2JTA-E has a maximum dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA. This parameter quantifies how much the zener voltage changes under small-signal AC load variations; lower rd means better regulation stiffness and reduced output ripple in sensitive analog circuits-especially important when driving high-impedance nodes like op-amp inputs or ADC reference pins.
