Product details
Overview
HZ8.2CP-E from Renesas Technology is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage clamping in DC power rails and reference circuits. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 8.2 V (min 7.7 V, max 9.3 V), with 5.0 Ω dynamic resistance at 40 µA reverse current, 1.0 W power dissipation, and DO-41 glass package construction for high reliability.
For engineers reviewing the HZ8.2CP-E datasheet, HZ8.2CP-E pinout, HZ8.2CP-E application, or HZ8.2CP-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±6.1% zener tolerance, low temperature coefficient near zero crossing (~0 mV/°C), 40 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 4 V, junction temperature rating up to 175°C, and suitability for voltage stabilization in industrial power supplies and analog sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The HZ8.2CP-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage by conducting reverse current above its specified breakdown threshold. Its epitaxial planar structure ensures tight VZ distribution and low noise performance under DC bias conditions.
Designed for fixed-voltage reference and transient suppression, it exhibits 5.0 Ω dynamic impedance at IZ = 40 µA and supports nonrepetitive surge reverse power up to ~1.0 W for short durations, with thermal impedance characteristics optimized for DO-41 mounting without heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.7 V min to 9.3 V max at IZ = 40 µA - defines operating clamp range for 8.2 V nominal regulation |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 5.0 Ω max at IZ = 40 µA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 1.0 W at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling capability |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 20 µA max at VR = 4 V - indicates leakage level below breakdown, critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55°C to +175°C - enables operation in extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | DO-41 glass axial - provides hermetic sealing, mechanical robustness, and proven long-term reliability |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 glass axial package with cathode band marking; leads are tinned copper-clad steel, suitable for wave or hand soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to higher potential side in shunt regulation; reverse-biased during normal operation |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential reference point; completes current path during clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VZ spectrum (1.88–40 V) | Enables single-family selection across diverse supply rail voltages without redesigning regulator topology |
| DO-41 glass package | Delivers >10-year field reliability in humid, thermally cycling environments due to hermetic seal and low moisture ingress |
| Low dynamic resistance (5.0 Ω) | Minimizes output voltage deviation under varying load currents, improving reference accuracy in feedback loops |
| High junction temperature rating (175°C) | Supports placement near heat-generating components in compact power modules without derating concerns |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4738A | Zener voltage 8.2 V (±5%), Pd = 1.0 W, DO-41, rd = 5.0 Ω - tighter VZ tolerance but same thermal limits | Slightly better initial accuracy; identical mounting and thermal profile | Preferred where tighter initial VZ spec is required without layout change |
| BZX55C8V2 | Zener voltage 8.2 V (±5%), Pd = 500 mW, DO-35, rd = 7.0 Ω - lower power rating and smaller package | Not suitable for 1 W continuous dissipation; requires PCB area reduction | Select only when thermal budget allows 500 mW and space-constrained layouts apply |
Compared with HZ8.2CP-E, the 1N4738A offers improved VZ tolerance at identical power and package, while BZX55C8V2 trades power capability and thermal robustness for size reduction-making HZ8.2CP-E optimal for industrial designs demanding 1 W sustained clamping and wide temperature resilience.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ8.2CP-E?
The HZ8.2CP-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 7.7 V minimum to 9.3 V maximum when tested at IZ = 40 µA and Ta = 25°C. This ±6.1% tolerance reflects the CP grade within the HZ-P Series and is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Rev.6.00 datasheet.
Does HZ8.2CP-E support operation at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, HZ8.2CP-E is rated for storage and operation from −55°C to +175°C junction temperature. Its DO-41 glass package and epitaxial planar construction enable reliable function at ambient temperatures up to +125°C with appropriate derating per Figure 3 (Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature) in the datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZ8.2CP-E at 4 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for HZ8.2CP-E is 20 µA when measured at VR = 4 V and Ta = 25°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and confirms low standby power consumption in undervoltage monitoring circuits.
Can HZ8.2CP-E be used as a direct replacement for 1N4738A in existing designs?
While HZ8.2CP-E shares the same DO-41 package, 8.2 V nominal zener voltage, and 1.0 W power rating with 1N4738A, it has a wider VZ tolerance (±6.1% vs. ±5%). No PCB changes are required, but system-level validation of voltage margin is recommended before substitution in precision reference applications.
Is HZ8.2CP-E suitable for surge protection in telecom line interfaces?
HZ8.2CP-E is intended for steady-state voltage regulation and low-energy transient clamping-not primary surge suppression. For telecom line protection, it functions best as a secondary clamp after a high-energy TVS device, leveraging its 5.0 Ω dynamic resistance and predictable 8.2 V threshold to protect sensitive RS-485 transceivers from residual overshoot.
