Product details
Overview
HZK12A-JTR from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and stabilization in low-power supply circuits. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 11.6–12.7 V at 5 mA, with dynamic resistance ≤35 Ω, maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, and operates within –55°C to +175°C storage temperature range. It is used in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits in industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the HZK12A-JTR datasheet, HZK12A-JTR pinout, HZK12A-JTR application, or HZK12A-JTR equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±4.5% at grade A), low leakage current (≤1 µA at VR = 9.5 V), thermal coefficient (≈+5.5 mV/°C), and LLD surface-mount package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The HZK12A-JTR employs a silicon epitaxial planar junction structure optimized for stable reverse-breakdown behavior under DC bias. Its zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with test condition VR = 9.5 V, and it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +5.5 mV/°C across its operating range.
Designed for stabilized power supply applications, it maintains low dynamic impedance (rd ≤ 35 Ω) and low reverse leakage (IR ≤ 1 µA), enabling accurate voltage referencing in analog front-ends and feedback loops of linear regulators without requiring active compensation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C12 (ON Semiconductor) | DO-35 package (3.5 mm length), ±5% VZ tolerance, rd ≈ 40 Ω, Pd = 500 mW | Larger footprint; less suitable for ultra-dense SMT layouts but offers wider global distribution | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or distributor stock availability is prioritized over miniaturization |
| MMSZ5242B (Diodes Inc.) | SOD-123 package, ±5% VZ, rd ≈ 33 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, IR = 100 nA @ 9.1 V | Lower leakage than HZK12A-JTR but slightly looser VZ spec; same SMT scalability | Prefer for ultra-low-power systems where sub-µA leakage dominates design margin, accepting minor VZ variance |
Compared with BZX55C12 and MMSZ5242B, the HZK12A-JTR provides the tightest VZ tolerance in its class (±4.5%) and a uniquely compact LLD package-critical for space-constrained industrial modules where thermal robustness and long-term stability outweigh absolute minimum leakage.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZK12A-JTR?
The HZK12A-JTR has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 11.6 V to 12.7 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±4.5% tolerance (grade A) is tighter than grade B (±5.5%) and grade C (±7.5%) variants in the same HZK family, making HZK12A-JTR suitable for applications demanding higher voltage accuracy without trimming.
Does HZK12A-JTR support reflow soldering?
Yes, the HZK12A-JTR in LLD package is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its glass-passivated junction and 175°C maximum junction temperature allow full compatibility with IPC Class 2 and Class 3 assembly processes, including peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds.
What is the temperature coefficient of HZK12A-JTR?
The HZK12A-JTR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +5.5 mV/°C, as confirmed by Figure 2 in the official Renesas datasheet (Rev. 3.00). This value enables predictable VZ drift modeling across –40°C to +125°C ambient, supporting stable reference design in unregulated thermal environments.
How does HZK12A-JTR compare to HZK12B-JTR in performance?
The HZK12A-JTR specifies a narrower zener voltage range (11.6–12.7 V) versus HZK12B-JTR (12.4–13.4 V), resulting in ±4.5% vs. ±5.5% tolerance. Both share identical rd ≤35 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, and LLD packaging. The A-grade variant is preferred when tighter initial calibration is required, such as in factory-trimmed instrumentation circuits.
Is HZK12A-JTR compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, HZK12A-JTR meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' material declarations and product compliance documentation. Lead content is below 1000 ppm, and all restricted substances are within allowable thresholds for industrial-grade components.
