Product details
Overview
HZ4A1JTA-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode engineered for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 5.2 V, 400 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of 150 Ω at 0.5 mA test current - deployed in reference voltage sources and sensor signal conditioning stages.
For engineers reviewing the HZ4A1JTA-E datasheet, HZ4A1JTA-E pinout, HZ4A1JTA-E application, or HZ4A1JTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low noise performance versus standard HZ series, DO-35 package thermal limits, and temperature coefficient behavior below 10 V.
Technical Context
The HZ4A1JTA-E belongs to the HZ-L Series, optimized for reduced diode noise (1/3–1/10 that of legacy HZ diodes) via refined planar junction processing. Its zener voltage is specified at 5.2–5.5 V with 0.5 mA test current, and it exhibits low leakage (<1 μA at VR = 2.0 V) and low zener impedance (150 Ω).
Designed for DC-stabilized operation, the device operates within a junction temperature range of −55°C to +175°C and maintains stable regulation across ambient temperatures up to 75°C before derating begins, per its power dissipation vs. Ta curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.2 V min / 5.5 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 5 V reference designs |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling in DO-35 package |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - enables reliable operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | ≈ −0.06 %/°C (typ.) near 5.2 V - indicates negative drift requiring compensation in wide-temp applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial leaded package with orange body and navy-blue cathode band; dimensions per SC-40 standard (L = 26.0 mm, φD = 2.0 mm, φb = 0.5 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener voltage reference node | Connected to regulated output; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Bias current flows from cathode to anode; anode tied to circuit common or current-limiting resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Noise level ≈ 1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ-series diodes - critical for audio preamps and precision ADC references |
| Stable low-voltage regulation | 5.2–5.5 V range with ±0.3 V tolerance at 0.5 mA - supports tight 5 V rail monitoring without trimming |
| Low zener impedance | 150 Ω max at 0.5 mA - minimizes output voltage shift under varying load currents |
| High thermal robustness | 175°C max junction temperature - allows use in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating components |
| DO-35 mechanical compatibility | Standard axial footprint with 2.0 mm diameter - enables drop-in replacement in legacy through-hole power supply designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5221B (ON Semiconductor) | 5.1 V nominal, 600 mW Pd, rd = 17 Ω, but higher noise and no HZ-L-series low-noise optimization | Suitable for general-purpose regulation where noise is non-critical; lacks documented low-noise spec | Select only if higher power rating is required and noise floor is secondary |
| BZX55-C5V1 (Vishay) | 5.1 V nominal, 500 mW Pd, rd = 60 Ω, wider VZ tolerance (±5%), no low-noise characterization | Used in cost-sensitive consumer power supplies; not characterized for analog reference noise performance | Acceptable for non-precision applications; avoid where sub-100 nV/√Hz noise matters |
Compared with 1N5221B and BZX55-C5V1, the HZ4A1JTA-E delivers verified low-noise operation and tighter VZ control essential for metrology-grade references, while trading off slightly higher dynamic resistance for superior noise immunity in sensitive analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ4A1JTA-E?
The HZ4A1JTA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 5.2 V minimum to 5.5 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.3 V span reflects tight binning for precision reference use, and the value remains stable across its rated junction temperature range up to 175°C.
Is HZ4A1JTA-E compatible with standard DO-35 footprints?
Yes, the HZ4A1JTA-E uses the industry-standard DO-35 package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 2.0 mm body diameter and 26 mm overall length. Its axial leads and navy-blue cathode band align with IPC-7351 requirements, enabling direct placement in existing DO-35 land patterns without layout modification.
How does the noise performance of HZ4A1JTA-E compare to generic Zener diodes?
The HZ4A1JTA-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of standard HZ-series Zeners due to Renesas' optimized planar junction process. This is confirmed in the HZ-L Series datasheet (REJ03G0182-0300), making HZ4A1JTA-E suitable for ultra-low-noise applications such as precision ADC references and audio preamp biasing where noise floor directly impacts system SNR.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ4A1JTA-E?
The HZ4A1JTA-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 2.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks in sensor interfaces and reference dividers, minimizing error current-induced offset in precision analog circuits.
Can HZ4A1JTA-E be used in surface-mount designs?
No, the HZ4A1JTA-E is exclusively offered in the through-hole DO-35 axial package and is not available in SMD variants. For surface-mount alternatives, engineers should evaluate Renesas' HZ-L Series SOD-123 or SOD-323 packaged equivalents - but note that HZ4A1JTA-E itself requires axial through-hole mounting with appropriate lead spacing and solder pad geometry.
