Product details
Overview
HZ6A2LTA-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 5.45 V (min 5.3 V / max 5.6 V), dynamic resistance of 150 Ω at 0.5 mA, and maximum power dissipation of 400 mW in a DO-35 package. It is used in stabilized power supplies, reference voltage sources, and noise-sensitive instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the HZ6A2LTA-E datasheet, HZ6A2LTA-E pinout, HZ6A2LTA-E application, or HZ6A2LTA-E 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 with through-hole PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The HZ6A2LTA-E employs a planar diffusion process to achieve low leakage current (≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V) and stable zener impedance across operating temperature. Its junction temperature rating of 175°C supports operation in thermally demanding environments without derating below 100°C ambient.
This device operates under DC test conditions per JEITA standard, with zener voltage specified at IZ = 0.5 mA and reverse current limited to ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V. The −0.04 %/°C temperature coefficient ensures minimal drift over −55°C to +175°C storage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.3 V min / 5.6 V max at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines tight 5.45 V nominal regulation point for precision references. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - enables low-output-impedance regulation critical for noise-sensitive analog stages. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact through-hole designs without forced cooling. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - ensures minimal standby leakage in battery-powered or high-impedance bias networks. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | −0.04 %/°C typical - provides predictable, low-drift behavior in industrial temperature ranges. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - allows reliable operation in enclosed enclosures or near heat-generating components. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), glass axial-lead, orange body with navy-blue cathode band. Mass: 0.13 g. Dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm, L = 26.0 mm, E = 4.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener voltage reference terminal | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed to avoid forward conduction. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Typically tied to system ground or negative rail; forms low-impedance return path for zener current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise zener structure | Diode noise level ≈1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series - directly improves SNR in precision ADC references and op-amp biasing. |
| Stable low-impedance regulation | rd = 150 Ω max at 0.5 mA - maintains regulation accuracy under varying load currents in feedback loops. |
| Wide zener voltage range support | Part of HZ-L family spanning 5.2 V to 38 V - enables standardized design reuse across multiple supply rails. |
| High thermal robustness | Tj = 175°C and Tstg = −55°C to +175°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood or industrial control cabinets. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 9 Ω, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Higher power, lower impedance, but higher noise and looser tolerance than HZ6A2LTA-E | Select when higher current capability (>100 mA) and tighter rd are prioritized over noise and precision. |
| BZX55C5V1 (Vishay) | Zener voltage 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 600 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Same DO-35 footprint but significantly higher dynamic resistance and unverified low-noise performance | Acceptable for general-purpose regulation where noise and tempco are non-critical; not recommended for precision analog. |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55C5V1, the HZ6A2LTA-E delivers superior noise performance and tighter voltage tolerance in a DO-35 package, making it optimal for applications requiring stable, low-drift references rather than high-power shunting.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZ6A2LTA-E?
The HZ6A2LTA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 5.3 V minimum to 5.6 V maximum when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.3 V tolerance window centers on a nominal 5.45 V regulation point, supporting precise voltage referencing in analog circuits without external trimming.
Does HZ6A2LTA-E meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, the HZ6A2LTA-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive and contains no restricted substances above allowable thresholds. Renesas Electronics confirms environmental compliance for this part in accordance with applicable regulations, including lead-free termination and halogen-free packaging materials.
Can HZ6A2LTA-E replace standard HZ-series Zeners directly?
No - the HZ6A2LTA-E belongs to the enhanced HZ-L series with significantly lower noise (≈1/3–1/10 of standard HZ) and tighter voltage tolerance. While pin-compatible in DO-35, its improved specs require verification of system-level noise floor and thermal stability before drop-in replacement in legacy HZ designs.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZ6A2LTA-E?
The HZ6A2LTA-E specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 1 μA at VR = 2.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and battery-operated applications where standby current must remain below 1 μA.
Is HZ6A2LTA-E qualified for automotive applications?
No - the HZ6A2LTA-E is rated as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas classification and is intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, and industrial robots. It is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks the extended temperature screening or failure-rate validation required for automotive use.
