Product details
Overview
HZK16LTL-S-E 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 16 V (min 15.3 V, max 17.1 V), with dynamic resistance of 45 Ω at 5 mA, maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, and reverse current ≤1 µA at 12 V, commonly used in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZK16LTL-S-E datasheet, HZK16LTL-S-E pinout, HZK16LTL-S-E application, or HZK16LTL-S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its LLD surface-mount package, tight zener voltage tolerance, low temperature coefficient (≈+5.5 mV/°C), and suitability for space-constrained DC biasing and feedback networks in industrial and consumer power supplies.
Technical Context
The HZK16LTL-S-E operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device using controlled avalanche breakdown in a planar silicon junction. Its zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current with DC excitation, and its dynamic resistance is measured under the same condition to ensure stable regulation under small-signal load variations.
It features a negative-to-positive temperature coefficient transition near 5–6 V; at 16 V, the coefficient is positive (+5.5 mV/°C), making it suitable for temperature-compensated references when paired with complementary devices. The LLD package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated placement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 15.3 V to 17.1 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation range for feedback or reference nodes |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 45 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 12 V - ensures minimal leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 500 mW max at Ta = 25°C - sets thermal derating limit for continuous operation on standard FR-4 PCB |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –55°C to +175°C - enables use in extended-temperature industrial environments without external heatsinking |
| Zener Voltage Tempco | +5.5 mV/°C (typ.) - allows predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable designs |
Pinout & Package
The HZK16LTL-S-E is housed in an LLD (Leadless Low-profile Diode) surface-mount package - a 2-pin, cathode-banded, rectangular plastic case measuring approximately 1.4 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.35 mm, optimized for high-density assembly and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal during reverse bias | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marking (band) must align with PCB silkscreen |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal during reverse bias | Typically tied to ground or common reference; forms return path for zener current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 45 Ω max ensures <1% output variation under ±1 mA load step in reference applications |
| Wide zener voltage range coverage | Part of HZK Series spanning 1.9–38 V - enables standardized BOM across multiple supply rails |
| LLD surface-mount package | 0.027 g mass and 1.4 mm width support miniaturized power management on compact PCBs |
| Stable DC zener characteristics | Tested with DC only - eliminates AC-related parameter ambiguity for precision DC biasing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C16 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 16 V nominal rating, SOT-23 package, 400 mW Pd, rd = 40 Ω - slightly lower power and smaller footprint | Preferred for ultra-compact designs where board area is constrained; less thermal margin than LLD | Select when PCB real estate is critical and thermal load remains below 300 mW average |
| 1N4744A (ON Semiconductor) | Dual-in-line DO-41 through-hole package, 1 W Pd, rd = 16 Ω - higher power, larger size, different mounting | Suitable for prototyping, high-reliability legacy systems, or manual assembly where reflow is unavailable | Choose for hand-soldered evaluation boards or applications requiring >500 mW continuous dissipation |
Compared with BZX84-C16 and 1N4744A, the HZK16LTL-S-E offers a balanced trade-off: LLD package density between SOT-23 and DO-41, 500 mW rating supporting moderate power needs, and Renesas' process-controlled zener voltage distribution ideal for production consistency in industrial-grade assemblies.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZK16LTL-S-E at 5 mA?
The HZK16LTL-S-E 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 specification is confirmed in the Renesas HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00, page 3, and applies directly to the HZK16LTL-S-E variant within the HZK16 family.
Is HZK16LTL-S-E RoHS compliant?
Yes, the HZK16LTL-S-E meets EU RoHS Directive requirements. Renesas Electronics confirms environmental compliance for the HZK Series in accordance with applicable regulations, including restriction of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. Full material declarations are available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
What is the thermal derating behavior of HZK16LTL-S-E above 25°C ambient?
The HZK16LTL-S-E exhibits linear thermal derating: power dissipation decreases from 500 mW at 25°C to zero at 150°C ambient, per the "Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature" curve on page 5 of the Renesas datasheet. Derating slope is –6.25 mW/°C, based on standard FR-4 PCB mounting (15 × 20 × 1.6 mm).
Does HZK16LTL-S-E have a specified zener voltage temperature coefficient?
Yes - the HZK16LTL-S-E has a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +5.5 mV/°C, as shown in Figure 2 ("Temperature Coefficient vs. Zener Voltage") on page 5 of the Renesas datasheet. This value is typical for 16 V-class zeners in the HZK Series and is used for thermal drift modeling in precision reference designs.
Can HZK16LTL-S-E be used in place of a 1N4744A in existing designs?
No - HZK16LTL-S-E is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4744A due to differences in package (LLD vs. DO-41), thermal performance (500 mW vs. 1 W), and pinout (surface-mount dual-pad vs. axial leads). While both regulate near 16 V, mechanical and thermal redesign is required to substitute HZK16LTL-S-E into a 1N4744A layout.
