Product details
Overview
HZ5C2JTA-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 6.0 V to 6.3 V, dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at 0.5 mA, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, and junction temperature rating of 175°C - deployed in reference voltage generators and low-drift sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the HZ5C2JTA-E datasheet, HZ5C2JTA-E pinout, HZ5C2JTA-E application, or HZ5C2JTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low noise performance relative to legacy HZ series, DO-35 package compatibility, and thermal stability across −55°C to +175°C storage range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using controlled avalanche and Zener breakdown mechanisms, with specified test conditions of IZ = 0.5 mA for VZ and rd, and IR ≤ 1 μA at VR = 2.0 V. Its low dynamic impedance ensures stable output under varying load currents in feedback loops.
The HZ5C2JTA-E belongs to the HZ-L Series characterized by navy-blue cathode band marking, orange body color, and DO-35 glass package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A). It exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero crossing (~0.02%/°C) within its 6.0–6.3 V range, minimizing thermal drift in precision references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.0 V min / 6.3 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight regulation window for ±0.15 V error in 6.15 V nominal reference designs. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - enables <1 mV output variation per 60 μA load change, critical for high-PSRR analog front-ends. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation up to ~130°C ambient when derated per Fig.3, suitable for enclosed industrial modules. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - ensures minimal leakage-induced offset in high-impedance bias networks and sample-hold circuits. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows reliable operation in automotive engine-control or industrial motor-drive environments with localized heating. |
| Package | DO-35 glass axial - provides hermetic sealing, low parasitic capacitance (<2 pF), and compatibility with wave-solder and hand-solder rework processes. |
Pinout & Package
DO-35 glass axial package with cathode identified by navy-blue band; total length 26.0 mm, body diameter 2.0 mm, lead spacing 4.2 mm (JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where current enters during zener conduction. |
| 2 (non-banded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; serves as return path for zener current in shunt regulator configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Noise reduction vs. HZ series | 1/3–1/10 lower diode noise - directly improves SNR in audio preamps and ADC reference buffers. |
| Zener voltage range coverage | 5.2 V to 38 V across family - enables single-supplier sourcing for multi-rail systems requiring 5 V, 12 V, 24 V, or 33 V references. |
| Low leakage specification | IR ≤ 1 μA at 2.0 V - prevents >100 kΩ effective parallel resistance degradation in high-Z feedback networks. |
| Thermal coefficient profile | γZ ≈ 0.02%/°C near 6.15 V - minimizes drift to <±0.1% over −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4735A | Zener voltage 6.2 V ±5%, rd = 7 Ω typical but higher noise; DO-41 package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass) | Better power handling (1 W), less suitable for ultra-low-noise signal chains due to higher broadband noise | Select when higher power margin is required and noise <−120 dBc/Hz is not critical |
| BZX55C6V2 | Zener voltage 6.2 V ±5%, rd = 10 Ω typical, leakage 10× higher (≤10 μA); DO-35 package same outline | Lower cost, wider availability, but insufficient for precision biasing where sub-μA leakage matters | Select for non-critical power rail clamping where cost dominates and thermal drift <0.05%/°C is acceptable |
Compared with 1N4735A and BZX55C6V2, the HZ5C2JTA-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter VZ tolerance in identical DO-35 form factor, making it optimal for metrology-grade references where signal integrity outweighs power rating or unit cost.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ5C2JTA-E?
The HZ5C2JTA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 6.0 V minimum to 6.3 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.3 V span reflects tight binning within the HZ-L Series' C2 variant, enabling predictable reference design without post-calibration trimming. The nominal value is 6.15 V, and the device maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does HZ5C2JTA-E have a documented noise specification?
Yes - the HZ-L Series datasheet states that its diode noise level is approximately 1/3 to 1/10 lower than the legacy HZ series. While no absolute dB or nV/√Hz figure is published, this comparative metric is validated across multiple measurement setups in Renesas application notes and confirms measurable improvement in spectral noise density, especially below 10 kHz, making HZ5C2JTA-E preferred for audio and precision ADC references.
Is HZ5C2JTA-E compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) systems?
Yes - the HZ5C2JTA-E uses a DO-35 glass axial package with consistent navy-blue cathode band and orange body coloring, both highly contrastive under standard AOI lighting. Its defined dimensions (26.0 mm length, 2.0 mm diameter) and JEITA GRZZ0002ZB-A footprint ensure reliable detection and orientation verification during SMT line inspection, supporting high-yield automated assembly.
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage before breakdown for HZ5C2JTA-E?
The HZ5C2JTA-E is rated for reverse current IR ≤ 1 μA at VR = 2.0 V, meaning it remains effectively non-conductive below 2.0 V. Breakdown begins near its specified VZ range (6.0–6.3 V), and operation below 2.0 V ensures negligible leakage in standby or undervoltage protection circuits. Exceeding 2.0 V but staying below VZ does not cause damage but increases leakage exponentially per exponential diode law.
Can HZ5C2JTA-E be used in place of standard 6.2 V Zeners like 1N4735A?
Yes, HZ5C2JTA-E can serve as a functional alternative to 1N4735A in many 6.2 V reference roles, but with important distinctions: it offers tighter VZ tolerance (±0.15 V vs. ±5%), lower noise, and same DO-35 footprint, yet lower power rating (400 mW vs. 1 W). Use HZ5C2JTA-E where noise and precision dominate; retain 1N4735A where surge energy absorption is critical.
