Product details
Overview
HZK20L-JTR from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and stabilization in low-power supply circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 20 V (18.8–21.1 V), maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, dynamic resistance of 60 Ω at 2 mA, and operating junction temperature up to 175°C. It is used in precision reference and biasing applications within industrial control modules and sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZK20L-JTR datasheet, HZK20L-JTR pinout, HZK20L-JTR application, or HZK20L-JTR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, LLD package dimensions, reverse leakage limits, temperature coefficient behavior, and direct alternative options for stable voltage reference design.
Technical Context
The HZK20L-JTR operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across variable load and input conditions via controlled reverse breakdown. Its low dynamic impedance (60 Ω) and tight zener voltage tolerance (±5.5% at 2 mA) support high-accuracy DC bias generation in analog front-ends.
Designed for surface-mount assembly in high-density PCB layouts, it uses an LLD package with cathode-anode pin arrangement and exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.045 %/°C (≈+9 mV/°C) near 20 V, enabling predictable thermal drift compensation in reference networks.

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 5% tolerance (20.0–21.0 V), 500 mW rating, DO-35 package (larger footprint) | Requires PCB layout change due to axial DO-35 vs. LLD SMD; higher thermal resistance (350°C/W vs. ~250°C/W) | Choose when legacy through-hole assembly or higher surge energy handling is required |
| MMSZ5248B (Diodes Inc.) | 20 V nominal, 5% tolerance (19.0–21.0 V), 500 mW, SOD-123 package (1.8 × 1.4 mm vs. LLD's 1.4 mm Ø) | Slightly larger footprint and different thermal profile; rd = 50 Ω (lower impedance) but IR = 50 nA (tighter leakage) | Prefer for ultra-low-leakage designs where 50 nA vs. 1 µA matters, accepting minor layout revision |
Compared with HZK20L-JTR, BZX55C20 requires mechanical redesign for through-hole mounting and offers less thermal efficiency, while MMSZ5248B provides superior leakage performance in a marginally larger SMD package-both serve as functional alternatives but not drop-in replacements.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZK20L-JTR at 2 mA test current?
The HZK20L-JTR has a specified zener voltage range of 18.8 V to 21.1 V when tested at IZ = 2 mA, per Renesas' HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00. This ±5.5% tolerance reflects the device grade for 20 V nominal rating and ensures predictable regulation behavior across production lots without binning.
Does HZK20L-JTR have a documented temperature coefficient, and how does it affect circuit accuracy?
Yes, the HZK20L-JTR exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.045 %/°C (approximately +9 mV/°C) near 20 V, as shown in Figure 2 of the official datasheet. This means its regulated voltage increases linearly with temperature, requiring compensation in high-accuracy references-e.g., pairing with a negative-TC component or using lookup-table correction in digital systems.
Can HZK20L-JTR be used in place of a 20 V Zener in a high-frequency noise suppression circuit?
No-HZK20L-JTR is optimized for DC and low-frequency regulation, not RF noise suppression. Its junction capacitance is not specified in the datasheet, and its dynamic resistance (60 Ω) and construction are intended for stable biasing-not fast transient clamping. For EMI filtering, TVS diodes like P6KE20CA or SMAJ20A are appropriate alternatives.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZK20L-JTR, and under what condition is it measured?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZK20L-JTR is 1 µA, measured at VR = 15 V and Ta = 25°C, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Renesas HZK Series datasheet. This value confirms suitability for ultra-low-power bias networks where leakage must remain below microampere thresholds.
Is the LLD package of HZK20L-JTR compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes-the LLD package used by HZK20L-JTR is qualified for standard lead-free reflow processes (JEDEC J-STD-020), with a maximum peak temperature of 260°C. Its glass-epoxy PCB compatibility and low mass (0.027 g) ensure uniform heating and minimal tombstoning risk during automated assembly.
