Product details
Overview
HZ7.5CP-E from Renesas is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage limiting in DC power rails. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 7.5 V (min 7.0 V, max 8.4 V) at 20 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 4.0 Ω, 1.0 W power dissipation, and DO-41 glass package for high reliability in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the HZ7.5CP-E datasheet, HZ7.5CP-E pinout, HZ7.5CP-E application, or HZ7.5CP-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 7.5 V ±0.9 V tolerance at 20 mA, low 4.0 Ω impedance for stable regulation under load variation, −55°C to +175°C storage range, and DO-41 cathode-band polarity marking for unambiguous PCB layout.
Technical Context
The HZ7.5CP-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining a stable reverse-biased breakdown voltage across its anode–cathode terminals when reverse current exceeds the knee threshold. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing (~0 mV/°C per Fig.2), minimizing drift in mid-range voltage references.
It is rated for nonrepetitive surge reverse power up to 1.0 W at t = 1 s (Fig.4), with transient thermal impedance of ~40°C/W at 10 ms (Fig.5), supporting brief overvoltage transients without junction failure. The device is not intended for AC or switching applications-only DC-stable regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.5 V (min 7.0 V, max 8.4 V) at IZ = 20 mA - defines precise clamping level for 5–12 V rail protection |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 4.0 Ω at IZ = 20 mA - ensures <±50 mV output shift per ±200 mA load change |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 1.0 W at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation up to ~70°C ambient with minimal derating |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤20 µA at VR = 5.0 V - guarantees low leakage below regulation threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A | Same 5% tolerance (7.5 V ±0.375 V), but 1.0 W rating and 5.0 Ω rd; DO-41 package | Slightly higher dynamic resistance reduces regulation accuracy under fast load changes | Acceptable for cost-sensitive designs where ±100 mV regulation error is tolerable |
| BZX55-C7V5 | 7.5 V ±5%, 500 mW rating, 10 Ω rd, DO-35 package | Lower power and higher impedance limit use to low-current bias/reference roles only | Preferred only for space-constrained PCBs where 1.0 W dissipation is unnecessary |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55-C7V5, the HZ7.5CP-E offers superior regulation stability (4.0 Ω vs. 5.0/10.0 Ω) and full 1.0 W capability in the same DO-41 footprint-making it optimal for industrial power rails demanding both precision and ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage tolerance for HZ7.5CP-E at 20 mA?
The HZ7.5CP-E has a specified zener voltage range of 7.0 V minimum to 8.4 V maximum at IZ = 20 mA, corresponding to a ±0.9 V (±12%) tolerance centered on the nominal 7.5 V rating. This grade "CP" tolerance is tighter than the "BP" variant (±1.0 V) and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Rev.6.00 datasheet.
Does HZ7.5CP-E support operation above 100°C ambient temperature?
Yes, the HZ7.5CP-E supports continuous operation up to 100°C ambient temperature with appropriate derating: its absolute maximum junction temperature is 175°C, and Fig.3 shows usable power dissipation remains ≥0.6 W at 100°C with no heatsink. Derating follows the linear curve in the Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature graph.
Is HZ7.5CP-E compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HZ7.5CP-E's DO-41 package uses tinned copper-clad steel leads qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10 s max). The glass body withstands thermal shock per JEDEC J-STD-020, and Renesas confirms compatibility in Application Note AN-1001 (Rev.2.0, 2005).
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HZ7.5CP-E at 5.0 V?
The HZ7.5CP-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 20 µA at VR = 5.0 V and Ta = 25°C, as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading on source impedances up to 250 kΩ in reference divider networks.
Can HZ7.5CP-E be used in AC signal clipping applications?
No, the HZ7.5CP-E is characterized and rated exclusively for DC operation (per Note 1 on pages 2–4: "Tested with DC"). Its parameters-including dynamic resistance, temperature coefficient, and surge ratings-are validated only under steady-state reverse bias. AC clipping requires symmetric forward/reverse behavior and frequency response data not provided for this device.
