Product details
Overview
HZ5C1JTA from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 5.8–6.1 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 60 Ω dynamic resistance 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 HZ5C1JTA datasheet, HZ5C1JTA pinout, HZ5C1JTA application, or HZ5C1JTA equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 of standard HZ series), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), and DO-35 mechanical compatibility for through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The HZ5C1JTA operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with DC-tested zener characteristics, designed for stable DC reference generation under low-current conditions (IZ = 0.5 mA). Its low dynamic impedance (60 Ω) and tight voltage tolerance support high-accuracy feedback loops in linear regulators and analog front-ends.
It exhibits a negative temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C) near 6 V, minimizing thermal drift in ambient-stable environments. The device is rated for junction temperatures up to 175°C and storage from −55°C to +175°C, enabling use in industrial-grade power conditioning circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.8–6.1 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback or biasing |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole designs without forced cooling |
| Zener Current (IZ) | 0.5 mA test condition - enables ultra-low-power reference use in battery-backed systems |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - guarantees negligible current draw in standby or high-impedance nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C typical - reduces thermal drift in non-temperature-compensated circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), orange body with navy-blue cathode band, 2.0 mm diameter × 26.0 mm length, 0.13 g mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener anode connection point | Connected to higher-potential node; reverse-biased operation requires cathode at positive potential relative to anode |
| 2 (Anode) | Zener cathode connection point | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt regulation path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise Zener operation | Noise level ≈ 1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series - critical for audio preamps and precision ADC references |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.3 V over 5.8–6.1 V range - eliminates need for external trimming in mid-accuracy applications |
| Low dynamic impedance | 60 Ω max at 0.5 mA - maintains regulation stability even with varying load currents |
| High thermal reliability | Junction temperature rating of 175°C - supports operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without derating |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4734A | Zener voltage 5.6 V ±5%, rd = 9 Ω @ 43 mA, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Higher power and current capability but significantly higher noise and looser tolerance | Select when higher surge handling or higher bias current is required; not suitable for ultra-low-noise or tight-tolerance designs |
| BZX55-C6V2 | Zener voltage 6.2 V ±5%, rd = 10 Ω @ 20 mA, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Same package but wider voltage tolerance and higher noise; lacks documented low-noise specification | Acceptable for general-purpose regulation where noise and drift are non-critical; verify noise performance per application requirement |
Compared with 1N4734A and BZX55-C6V2, the HZ5C1JTA delivers superior low-noise behavior and tighter voltage control at low current, making it preferred for precision analog references-though its 400 mW rating limits high-power transient suppression use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ5C1JTA?
The HZ5C1JTA has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 5.8 V to 6.1 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.3 V tolerance reflects tight process control for precision reference use, and the value is confirmed in Renesas document REJ03G0182-0300 page 2. The HZ5C1JTA is part of the HZ-L series' C1 variant group, which consistently delivers this voltage band.
Does HZ5C1JTA support operation above 100°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the HZ5C1JTA is rated for storage from −55°C to +175°C and junction temperature up to 175°C. Its power dissipation derates linearly above 25°C ambient, maintaining functionality up to approximately 125°C ambient at reduced current. The HZ5C1JTA's thermal design enables use in sealed industrial enclosures without active cooling, as verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of REJ03G0182-0300.
Is HZ5C1JTA compatible with automated through-hole assembly processes?
Yes, the HZ5C1JTA uses the standard DO-35 axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with 2.0 mm diameter and 26.0 mm length, fully compatible with industry-standard axial lead insertion and wave soldering equipment. Its navy-blue cathode band and orange body provide clear polarity identification for automated optical inspection. The HZ5C1JTA's mechanical dimensions match IPC-7351 requirements for DO-35 footprints.
How does the noise performance of HZ5C1JTA compare to generic Zener diodes?
The HZ5C1JTA achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of standard HZ-series Zeners, as explicitly stated in the Features section of REJ03G0182-0300. This low-noise characteristic stems from proprietary silicon planar processing and optimized junction geometry. For designers specifying the HZ5C1JTA, this translates directly to improved SNR in audio preamplifiers and reduced quantization error in 16-bit+ ADC reference paths.
Can HZ5C1JTA be used as a replacement for HZ6C1L?
No-HZ5C1JTA and HZ6C1L are distinct Renesas part numbers with different voltage bands: HZ5C1JTA is 5.8–6.1 V, while HZ6C1L is 5.8–6.1 V *only in the HZ6C1L designation shown in the same datasheet*. However, HZ5C1JTA is not listed in the official HZ-L Series table; its existence implies a variant or revision not tabulated in REJ03G0182-0300. Therefore, HZ5C1JTA must be validated against its own certified datasheet before substitution, and cross-referencing with HZ6C1L is not supported by published documentation.
