Product details
Overview
HZK16-1UR from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for voltage regulation in stabilized power supplies, with a nominal zener voltage of 16 V (min 15.3 V, max 17.1 V), dynamic resistance of 45 Ω at 5 mA, maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, and LLD surface-mount package. It operates within –55°C to +175°C storage range and supports precision reference applications in industrial and consumer power circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZK16-1UR datasheet, HZK16-1UR pinout, HZK16-1UR application, or HZK16-1UR equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5.6% at 16 V), low leakage current (≤1 µA at VR = 12 V), thermal coefficient behavior (≈+8.5 mV/°C), and compatibility with high-density PCB assembly using the LLD package.
Technical Context
The HZK16-1UR employs a silicon epitaxial planar junction structure optimized for stable reverse-breakdown operation under DC bias. Its zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance measured at the same condition to ensure predictable regulation performance across load variations.
Designed for surface-mount use in compact power rails, the device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~+8.5 mV/°C) typical of mid-voltage Zener diodes, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs. The LLD package supports automated placement and reflow soldering without derating below 25°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.3 V to 17.1 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulation window for stable 16 V reference output |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 45 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Maximum Power Dissipation (Pd) | 500 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets upper limit for continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 12 V - ensures minimal quiescent leakage in standby or low-power modes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C max - enables operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies |
| Package | LLD - ultra-compact surface-mount outline (1.4 mm Ø, 0.35 mm height) for high-density layout |
Pinout & Package
LLD package: cylindrical glass-body surface-mount diode with axial lead configuration flattened for tape-and-reel handling; cathode identified by band marking; terminals are non-polarized but functionally asymmetric (cathode/anode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to higher potential node in reverse-bias regulation; carries full zener current during conduction |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to lower potential (typically ground or return path); completes bias circuit for breakdown operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 45 Ω max ensures tight voltage regulation under varying load currents in feedback references |
| Wide zener voltage spectrum | 16 V nominal point fits mid-range supply stabilization needs where 12 V or 24 V options are unsuitable |
| High power density | 500 mW in LLD package allows robust regulation without heatsinking in space-constrained PCBs |
| Stable temperature coefficient | +8.5 mV/°C enables predictable drift modeling for compensated reference designs |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C16 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 16 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (15.2–16.8 V), 500 mW, DO-35 package - larger footprint, higher thermal resistance | Requires PCB real estate adjustment; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts than LLD | Select when legacy through-hole compatibility or higher surge immunity is prioritized over size |
| MMSZ4687 (Vishay) | 16 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW, SOD-123 package - 1.8× larger body, 0.9 mm height vs. LLD's 0.35 mm | Compatible with standard SMT pick-and-place but increases board area by ~300% | Choose when existing SOD-123 footprint reuse is required and height clearance permits |
Compared with BZX55C16 and MMSZ4687, the HZK16-1UR delivers identical regulation performance in a significantly smaller LLD package-enabling higher component density and improved thermal response in modern compact power designs-while maintaining full compatibility with reflow assembly processes.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZK16-1UR at 5 mA test current?
The HZK16-1UR has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 15.3 V to 17.1 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This ±5.6% tolerance reflects the device's grade-specific specification per the HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00, and applies directly to the HZK16-1UR variant without interpolation or extrapolation.
Does HZK16-1UR support reflow soldering, and what is its maximum peak temperature rating?
Yes, the HZK16-1UR in LLD package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles. Its glass-body construction withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds, consistent with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. The HZK16-1UR must be mounted with the banded end (cathode) oriented per PCB silkscreen to maintain correct polarity after reflow.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for HZK16-1UR at 12 V applied reverse voltage?
The HZK16-1UR specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA when VR = 12 V and Ta = 25°C. This value is confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 3 of the HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00 and is critical for low-power standby circuits where HZK16-1UR serves as a precision clamp.
Is HZK16-1UR rated for automotive applications, and what quality grade does it carry?
The HZK16-1UR is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas Electronics' product grading system, intended for industrial, consumer, and office equipment-not automotive safety-critical systems. Its datasheet explicitly excludes transportation equipment use without prior written consent, confirming HZK16-1UR is not AEC-Q200 qualified.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZK16-1UR affect its regulation accuracy over –40°C to +125°C?
The HZK16-1UR exhibits a typical zener voltage temperature coefficient of +8.5 mV/°C, meaning its regulated voltage increases linearly with temperature. Over –40°C to +125°C, this results in approximately ±1.4 V total drift relative to 25°C baseline-requiring external compensation if sub-1% stability is needed. This behavior is documented in Figure 2 of the HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00 for the HZK16-1UR.
