Product details
Overview
HZ9HA2-E from Renesas is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 7.9–8.3 V, 400 mW power dissipation, 6.0 Ω dynamic impedance at 0.5 mA test current, and DO-35 glass package with orange body and navy blue cathode band. It serves as a stable reference in low-drift power supply feedback paths and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZ9HA2-E datasheet, HZ9HA2-E pinout, HZ9HA2-E application, or HZ9HA2-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V), low noise performance relative to standard HZ series, temperature coefficient behavior near 8 V, and compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly using DO-35 footprint.
Technical Context
The HZ9HA2-E operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device with DC-tested zener breakdown characteristics, designed for stable operation at 0.5 mA nominal test current and rated up to 1 mA reverse current. Its low dynamic resistance (6.0 Ω) and reduced noise level-approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of legacy HZ-series diodes-support high-fidelity signal conditioning in sensitive analog front-ends.
Thermal design is constrained by a 175°C maximum junction temperature and derated power dissipation above 25°C ambient, per the published curve in Figure 3. The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient in the 8 V range, consistent with silicon zener physics, and is not intended for transient suppression or surge clamping applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.9–8.3 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback networks requiring tight DC reference accuracy |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 6.0 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 to +175°C - supports operation in industrial environments with wide ambient swings |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 1 μA max at VR = 2.0 V - confirms low leakage for high-impedance biasing applications |
| Noise Level | ≈1/3–1/10 of HZ-series - directly improves SNR in low-level analog measurement circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-35 glass axial package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZB-A), orange body with navy blue cathode band, 2.0 mm diameter × 26.0 mm length, 0.13 g mass.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise zener structure | Reduces broadband voltage noise by factor of 3–10 vs. standard HZ series, critical for audio preamps and precision ADC references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5231BLT1G | Zener voltage 5.1 V, SOD-123 package, 200 mW rating, 17 Ω dynamic resistance | Lower voltage, surface-mount only, higher impedance limits use in high-accuracy feedback | Select when board space is constrained and 5.1 V reference suffices; not suitable for HZ9HA2-E's 8 V requirement or noise-sensitive roles |
| Vishay BZX84-C8V2 | Zener voltage 8.2 V, SOT-23 package, 300 mW rating, 15 Ω dynamic resistance, higher noise than HZ-L series | SMT-compatible but lacks documented low-noise optimization and has looser voltage tolerance (±5%) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 8.2 V nominal and moderate noise are acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5231BLT1G and BZX84-C8V2, the HZ9HA2-E delivers superior noise performance, tighter voltage tolerance, and higher power handling in a through-hole package-making it preferred for industrial and medical analog designs demanding long-term stability and low drift.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZ9HA2-E?
The HZ9HA2-E is specified with a zener voltage range of 7.9 V minimum to 8.3 V maximum, measured at a test current of 0.5 mA and ambient temperature of 25°C. This 0.4 V tolerance reflects tight process control for precision reference use, and the value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the REJ03G0182-0300 datasheet. The HZ9HA2-E does not support adjustable or programmable voltage settings.
Is HZ9HA2-E suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the HZ9HA2-E uses a DO-35 axial glass package with 26 mm lead length and 2.0 mm body diameter, designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. It is incompatible with reflow or wave soldering processes used for SMT components. For surface-mount alternatives, consider Vishay BZX84-C8V2 (SOT-23) or ON Semiconductor MMBZ5231BLT1G (SOD-123), though neither matches the HZ9HA2-E's low-noise performance or voltage tolerance.
What is the maximum reverse current rating for HZ9HA2-E?
The HZ9HA2-E has a maximum reverse current (IR) of 1 μA at a reverse voltage (VR) of 2.0 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error current in precision applications. At its rated zener voltage, the device conducts controlled reverse current-typically 0.5 mA for characterization-but is not rated for sustained operation beyond its 400 mW power limit.
Does HZ9HA2-E have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, the HZ9HA2-E exhibits a negative temperature coefficient typical of ~−0.06%/°C in the 8 V range, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. This value is derived from the HZ-L series' general behavior and aligns with silicon zener physics for voltages below 5.6 V; however, the exact coefficient for HZ9HA2-E is not individually tabulated. Designers should consult the published γZ vs. VZ curve for interpolation.
Can HZ9HA2-E replace standard HZ-series Zener diodes directly?
The HZ9HA2-E is a drop-in replacement for HZ9A2L in DO-35 package applications, sharing identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal ratings. However, it delivers significantly lower noise (≈1/3–1/10 of HZ-series) and improved dynamic impedance (6.0 Ω vs. 80 Ω for HZ9A2L), making it preferable where signal integrity is critical. No PCB changes are required, but system-level noise testing is recommended after substitution.
