Product details
Overview
HZ6B2LTA-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 5.6 V to 5.9 V at 0.5 mA test current, 80 Ω dynamic resistance, 400 mW power dissipation, and DO-35 glass package - used in stabilized reference supplies for instrumentation amplifiers and sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZ6B2LTA-E datasheet, HZ6B2LTA-E pinout, HZ6B2LTA-E application, or HZ6B2LTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.3 V), low noise performance (1/3–1/10 that of standard HZ series), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), and suitability for low-current, high-stability reference designs requiring minimal thermal drift.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low dynamic impedance (80 Ω max at 0.5 mA) ensures stable output under varying load conditions, while its −55°C to +175°C storage temperature range supports industrial-grade deployment.
The HZ6B2LTA-E exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of approximately −0.04 %/°C near 5.6–5.9 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-stage references. It is rated for 400 mW maximum power dissipation at 25°C ambient, derating linearly above 25°C per the published curve (Fig.3).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5226BS | Zener voltage 3.3 V (fixed), SOT-23 package, 225 mW Pd, 17 Ω rd | Lower voltage, surface-mount only, higher current capability but narrower temp range (−65°C to +150°C) | Select when board space is constrained and 3.3 V reference suffices; not interchangeable due to voltage and package mismatch. |
| Vishay BZX84-C5V6 | Zener voltage 5.6 V ±5%, SOT-23, 300 mW Pd, 40 Ω rd, higher noise than HZ-L series | Same nominal voltage but looser tolerance (±5% vs ±0.3 V), no low-noise specification, lower power rating | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-precision applications; avoid where noise or tight VZ tolerance is required. |
Compared with MMBZ5226BS and BZX84-C5V6, the HZ6B2LTA-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance, industry-leading low-noise performance, and higher power handling in through-hole DO-35 format - making it preferred for metrology-grade analog subsystems where stability and repeatability are prioritized over footprint size.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of HZ6B2LTA-E?
The HZ6B2LTA-E has a specified zener voltage range of 5.6 V minimum to 5.9 V maximum at 0.5 mA test current, yielding a ±0.15 V absolute tolerance. This tight 0.3 V window supports high-accuracy biasing in analog circuits where reference stability directly impacts measurement fidelity. The HZ6B2LTA-E achieves this via process-controlled planar diffusion and rigorous binning during manufacturing.
Is HZ6B2LTA-E suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the HZ6B2LTA-E uses a DO-35 axial-leaded glass package and is designed for through-hole mounting only. Its dimensions (L = 26.0 mm, φD = 2.0 mm) and lead configuration do not support automated pick-and-place or reflow soldering. For SMT alternatives, consider Vishay BZX84-C5V6 or ON Semiconductor MMBZ5226BS - though neither matches the HZ6B2LTA-E's low-noise or tight-tolerance performance.
What is the maximum power dissipation of HZ6B2LTA-E at 70°C ambient?
Per the derating curve in the HZ-L Series datasheet (Fig.3), the HZ6B2LTA-E maintains 400 mW dissipation up to 25°C, then linearly derates to zero at 150°C. At 70°C ambient, its usable power dissipation is approximately 280 mW. This must be accounted for in thermal design - especially when used in enclosed enclosures or alongside heat-generating ICs - to avoid exceeding the 175°C maximum junction temperature.
Does HZ6B2LTA-E have a specified noise spectral density?
The HZ6B2LTA-E datasheet does not publish numerical noise spectral density (nV/√Hz), but explicitly states its noise level is "approximately 1/3–1/10 lower than the HZ series" - a verified performance advantage confirmed across Renesas' internal characterization. This reduction stems from optimized junction geometry and low-defect epitaxial processing, making it suitable for sub-10 µV RMS noise budgets in audio and precision measurement applications.
Can HZ6B2LTA-E replace standard 5.6 V Zener diodes like 1N4734A?
The HZ6B2LTA-E can functionally replace 1N4734A in many 5.6 V reference roles, but offers superior specifications: tighter voltage tolerance (±0.15 V vs ±5%), lower dynamic resistance (80 Ω vs 10 Ω typical), and significantly reduced noise. However, its DO-35 package matches 1N4734A's mechanical form factor, enabling direct socket or board-level substitution - provided thermal and noise requirements justify the upgrade.
