Product details
Overview
HZK20JTR 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 20 V (min 18.8 V, max 21.1 V) at 2 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 60 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 feedback paths of DC-DC converters and linear regulators.
For engineers reviewing the HZK20JTR datasheet, HZK20JTR pinout, HZK20JTR application, or HZK20JTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V zener voltage tolerance, 60 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA, LLD surface-mount package compatibility, thermal stability up to 175°C junction temperature, and compliance with Renesas' Standard quality grade for industrial and consumer power applications.
Technical Context
The HZK20JTR employs a silicon epitaxial planar structure optimized for stable reverse-breakdown behavior under DC bias. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +15 mV/°C near 20 V, as confirmed by Figure 2 in the datasheet, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
It is rated for 2 mA zener test current and 1 V reverse voltage condition for leakage measurement, with maximum reverse current limited to 1 µA. The device is not intended for surge suppression or transient clamping-its design focuses exclusively on steady-state voltage reference accuracy and low dynamic impedance in regulated power rails.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C20 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 20 V nominal, but 500 mW rating at 25°C only; rd = 70 Ω; DO-35 package (larger, axial leaded) | Requires through-hole PCB layout; less suitable for automated SMT production | Choose for legacy through-hole designs where board real estate is not constrained |
| MMSZ5248B (Diodes Inc.) | 20 V nominal, SOD-123 package, rd = 50 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, IR = 0.1 µA at 15 V | Lower leakage and slightly better impedance, but different footprint and thermal profile | Prefer when sub-µA leakage is critical and SOD-123 reflow profile is already qualified |
Compared with BZX55C20 and MMSZ5248B, the HZK20JTR offers identical 20 V regulation with Renesas' LLD package for ultra-compact SMT placement, moderate 60 Ω impedance, and guaranteed 1 µA leakage at 1 V-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial power monitors where standard-grade reliability suffices.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZK20JTR?
The HZK20JTR has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 18.8 V to 21.1 V when tested at 2 mA zener current and 25°C ambient temperature, as documented in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 3 of the Renesas datasheet Rev.3.00. This 20 V nominal rating reflects a ±5.5% tolerance band optimized for stable reference applications.
Does HZK20JTR support surface-mount assembly, and what is its package type?
Yes, the HZK20JTR uses the LLD package-a leadless, cylindrical, glass-passivated surface-mount package measuring φ1.4 ± 0.1 mm with a typical height of 0.35 mm. It is qualified for standard reflow soldering processes and designed for high-density PCB layouts in compact power modules.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZK20JTR, and under what condition is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZK20JTR is 1 µA, measured at a reverse voltage (VR) of 1 V and ambient temperature of 25°C. This value is specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 3 and confirms suitability for high-impedance bias and reference networks.
Is HZK20JTR rated for automotive or safety-critical applications?
No, the HZK20JTR is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' quality grading system and is intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, audio/video devices, and industrial robots-not for automotive, medical life-support, aerospace, or nuclear applications. Its datasheet explicitly excludes such uses without prior written consent.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZK20JTR affect its performance in wide-temperature environments?
The HZK20JTR exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately +15 mV/°C near 20 V, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. This means its regulated voltage increases linearly with temperature, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference circuits operating from –40°C to +85°C ambient ranges.
