Product details
Overview
HZ5B2J-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 5.6 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 80 Ω dynamic resistance at 0.5 mA test current, DO-35 glass package, and cathode band marking. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ5B2J-E datasheet, HZ5B2J-E pinout, HZ5B2J-E application, or HZ5B2J-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low noise performance relative to standard HZ series, thermal coefficient behavior below 7 V, and compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly using DO-35 footprint.
Technical Context
The HZ5B2J-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with DC-tested zener breakdown at 5.6 V ±0.3 V under 0.5 mA current. Its low dynamic impedance (80 Ω max) and reduced noise level-approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of the legacy HZ series-enable high-stability references in sensitive analog front-ends.
Designed for ambient temperatures from −55°C to +175°C, it maintains specified electrical characteristics within its absolute maximum ratings: 400 mW power dissipation and 175°C junction temperature. The DO-35 package supports manual or automated through-hole insertion with standardized 2.0 mm body diameter and 26 mm lead length.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | Zener voltage 5.6 V ±5 % (±0.28 V), 1 Ω typical rd, 1 W Pd, DO-41 package | Higher power, looser tolerance, higher noise - suitable for non-critical regulation but not low-noise analog refs | Select HZ5B2J-E when noise, tight tolerance, or DO-35 footprint are mandatory; choose 1N4734A only for cost-sensitive, high-power bulk regulation. |
| BZX55C5V6 | Zener voltage 5.6 V ±5 %, 60 Ω rd max at 5 mA, 500 mW Pd, DO-35 package | Higher test current (5 mA vs. 0.5 mA), higher noise, wider tolerance - lacks documented low-noise optimization | Use BZX55C5V6 if higher test-current operation is required; retain HZ5B2J-E where sub-μA leakage and ultra-low noise at low IZ are essential. |
Compared with 1N4734A and BZX55C5V6, the HZ5B2J-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), verified low-noise performance, and guaranteed 0.5 mA operating point suitability-making it uniquely suited for precision analog reference design where parameter stability and spectral purity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ5B2J-E at 0.5 mA test current?
The HZ5B2J-E has a specified zener voltage range of 5.3 V minimum to 5.9 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±0.3 V tolerance reflects tight process control for precision reference use, distinct from broader-tolerance alternatives like 1N4734A (±5 %). The HZ5B2J-E datasheet confirms this range on page 2 of REJ03G0182-0300 Rev.3.00.
Does HZ5B2J-E support operation above 100°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the HZ5B2J-E is rated for storage and operation from −55°C to +175°C. Its junction temperature limit is 175°C, and derated power dissipation remains functional up to at least +125°C ambient when mounted on standard FR-4 PCB with adequate copper area. The HZ5B2J-E thermal data in Figure 3 (page 4) shows usable Pd down to ~200 mW at 100°C ambient, confirming suitability for industrial control modules.
How does the noise performance of HZ5B2J-E compare to standard zener diodes?
The HZ5B2J-E achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of the legacy HZ series, as stated in the "Features" section of its datasheet. This low-noise characteristic is intrinsic to the HZ-L Series' silicon planar process and is validated for analog applications such as ADC references and audio biasing. Unlike generic zeners, the HZ5B2J-E's noise specification is explicitly quantified-not inferred-and applies directly to the HZ5B2J-E variant.
Is HZ5B2J-E compatible with automated through-hole assembly equipment?
Yes, the HZ5B2J-E uses the industry-standard DO-35 package with 26 mm straight leads, 0.5 mm diameter, and consistent 2.0 mm body diameter-fully compatible with standard axial-component insertion machines and wave soldering profiles. Its navy blue cathode band and orange body provide unambiguous orientation marking for vision-guided placement systems handling the HZ5B2J-E.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ5B2J-E at 2.0 V?
The HZ5B2J-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA when measured at VR = 2.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage supports high-impedance circuit nodes such as op-amp bias inputs and precision voltage dividers. The value is confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 2 of the HZ5B2J-E datasheet REJ03G0182-0300.
