Product details
Overview
HZ6A1L-JTA from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 5.2–5.5 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 150 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA, and −55 to +175 °C storage temperature range. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supplies and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZ6A1L-JTA datasheet, HZ6A1L-JTA pinout, HZ6A1L-JTA application, or HZ6A1L-JTA equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series), DO-35 package compatibility, and thermal stability across industrial ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The HZ6A1L-JTA operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with DC-tested zener characteristics, designed for low-noise biasing in analog front-ends and reference circuits. Its junction temperature rating of 175 °C supports high-reliability operation in thermally constrained environments.
Zener voltage is specified at 0.5 mA test current with ±0.3 V min/max spread, and dynamic resistance is measured at 0.5 mA with VR ≤ 2.0 V - confirming tight regulation under light-load conditions typical of reference node stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.2–5.5 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise DC reference level for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - enables stable operation without heatsinking in compact PCB layouts |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance reference paths |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175 °C - supports continuous operation in automotive under-hood or industrial control enclosures |
| Storage Temperature | −55 to +175 °C - validates suitability for extended environmental qualification testing |
Pinout & Package

| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return path | Completes shunt regulation loop; low-inductance trace routing recommended for noise-sensitive designs |
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 |
| Wide zener voltage range support | Part of HZ-L family spanning 5.2–38 V - allows single-supplier sourcing across multiple board revisions |
| Stable temperature coefficient | γZ ≈ −0.02 %/°C near 5.2 V - minimizes drift in unregulated supply rails over −40 to +85 °C |
| High reliability packaging | DO-35 glass encapsulation with 175 °C Tj rating - meets industrial lifecycle requirements without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C5V1 (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 600 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Higher dynamic impedance increases output sensitivity to load changes; wider VZ tolerance affects absolute accuracy | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs noise and regulation precision requirements |
| 1N4733A (Vishay) | Zener voltage 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 17 Ω, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Lower rd improves regulation but larger DO-41 footprint conflicts with space-constrained layouts; higher Pd requires thermal margin review | Select when higher power handling is needed and board area permits DO-41 placement |
Compared with BZX55C5V1 and 1N4733A, the HZ6A1L-JTA delivers superior noise performance and tighter VZ tolerance in the same DO-35 footprint, making it optimal for high-accuracy, low-drift analog systems where signal integrity is prioritized over raw power capacity or cost.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ6A1L-JTA?
The HZ6A1L-JTA 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 tolerance supports precision reference applications where absolute voltage accuracy is critical. The HZ6A1L-JTA's narrow spread distinguishes it from broader-tolerance alternatives like BZX55C5V1.
Is HZ6A1L-JTA compatible with standard DO-35 footprints?
Yes, the HZ6A1L-JTA uses the JEITA-standard DO-35 package (code GRZZ0002ZB-A) with defined dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm, L = 26.0 mm. Its axial leads and orange body with navy-blue cathode band match industry-standard DO-35 assembly processes, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts designed for DO-35 zeners.
How does the noise performance of HZ6A1L-JTA compare to legacy HZ-series diodes?
The HZ6A1L-JTA achieves approximately 1/3 to 1/10 the noise level of standard HZ-series Zener diodes, as confirmed in Renesas' REJ03G0182-0300 specification document. This improvement stems from optimized silicon planar processing and low-leakage junction design - directly benefiting low-level analog circuits such as microphone preamps and precision ADC references where HZ6A1L-JTA is deployed.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current for HZ6A1L-JTA before regulation degrades?
The HZ6A1L-JTA specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 2.0 V, ensuring minimal leakage in high-impedance reference nodes. Exceeding this condition risks increased temperature-dependent drift and compromised regulation stability. For reliable operation, the HZ6A1L-JTA must be biased within its 0.5–1 mA zener test current window to maintain specified VZ and rd.
Can HZ6A1L-JTA operate continuously at 125 °C ambient temperature?
Yes, the HZ6A1L-JTA supports continuous operation at 125 °C ambient temperature when power dissipation remains within derated limits - per Figure 3 in REJ03G0182-0300, Pd reduces linearly to ~250 mW at 125 °C. Its 175 °C junction rating and −55 to +175 °C storage range make the HZ6A1L-JTA suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications where thermal margins are constrained.
