Product details
Overview
HZK2CTR-S-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power stabilized power supplies. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 2.2 V (Grade C), with maximum zener impedance of 100 Ω at 5 mA, 500 mW power dissipation, and operates within –55°C to +175°C storage temperature range. It is used in voltage reference circuits for analog sensors and microcontroller reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the HZK2CTR-S-E datasheet, HZK2CTR-S-E pinout, HZK2CTR-S-E application, or HZK2CTR-S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include verified zener voltage tolerance (±0.4 V), low leakage current (≤5 µA at 0.5 V), thermal coefficient behavior below 2.5 V, and LLD surface-mount package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The HZK2CTR-S-E employs a planar epitaxial junction structure optimized for stable reverse breakdown with minimal voltage drift over temperature. Its zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance measured under DC conditions - confirming suitability for low-noise reference applications rather than transient suppression.
This device belongs to the HZK Series' low-voltage segment (1.9–38 V), where Grade C variants like HZK2CTR-S-E provide tighter VZ tolerance (2.2–2.6 V) versus Grades A/B. The LLD package enables automated placement and supports thermal dissipation up to 500 mW on standard FR-4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.2 V to 2.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for low-voltage biasing and reference generation. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 500 mW - supports continuous operation in compact SMT designs without forced cooling. |
| Zener Impedance (rd) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 0.5 V - critical for low-power standby circuits and battery-backed systems. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C - enables reliable operation in industrial ambient environments up to 125°C with derating. |
| Package | LLD - ultra-compact leadless surface-mount package (1.4 mm Ø, 0.027 g) for high-density assembly. |
Pinout & Package
Package: LLD - leadless, circular, surface-mount diode package with cathode band marking; dimensions: φ1.4 ± 0.1 mm, height ~0.35 mm (typical); mass: 0.027 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Reverse-biased terminal | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed to maintain zener conduction mode. |
| 2 (Anode) | Forward reference terminal | Typically grounded or tied to lowest system potential; establishes reference for VZ measurement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | ≤100 Ω ensures <1% output deviation across 1–10 mA load variations in reference circuits. |
| Wide operating temperature range | –55°C to +175°C junction rating allows use in automotive engine control modules and industrial motor drives. |
| Stable low-voltage regulation | 2.2–2.6 V Grade C tolerance supports accurate 2.5 V rail derivation with external resistor scaling. |
| High-density LLD packaging | φ1.4 mm footprint reduces PCB area by >60% vs. traditional DO-35, enabling miniaturized sensor nodes. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Reset Circuit | Analog Sensor Biasing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Generating a stable 2.5 V threshold for brown-out detection in 3.3 V MCU systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage reference element defining reset activation level. Use Value: Tight 2.2–2.6 V tolerance and low rd ensure consistent reset timing across temperature and supply variance. |
Use Scenario: Providing excitation voltage to resistive bridge sensors in portable instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-drift DC reference source for ratiometric signal conditioning. Use Value: ≤5 µA leakage prevents loading error in high-impedance sensor interfaces. |

Use Scenario: Stabilizing reference input for 12-bit ADCs in PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage reference in isolated signal chains. Use Value: Low temperature coefficient below 2.5 V minimizes gain drift over –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C2V4 (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 2.4 V ±5%, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package (3.5 mm length) | Larger footprint; higher thermal resistance; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Preferred when legacy through-hole assembly or higher surge robustness is required. |
| MMSZ4678 (Diodes Inc.) | VZ = 2.4 V ±5%, SOD-123 package, rd = 120 Ω, IR = 50 µA @ 1 V | Higher leakage and impedance reduce accuracy in precision references | Acceptable for non-critical biasing where cost and availability outweigh tight regulation needs. |
Compared with BZX55C2V4 and MMSZ4678, the HZK2CTR-S-E offers tighter VZ tolerance (±0.2 V vs. ±0.12 V), lower leakage (<5 µA vs. ≥50 µA), and smaller LLD footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-accuracy 2.2–2.6 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZK2CTR-S-E?
The HZK2CTR-S-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 2.2 V to 2.6 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to Grade C specification per the official Renesas HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00. This tolerance is tighter than Grade A/B variants and is confirmed for the HZK2CTR-S-E marking code.
Is HZK2CTR-S-E compatible with reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HZK2CTR-S-E in its LLD package is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020), with peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its glass-passivated silicon junction and compact geometry ensure reliability under repeated thermal cycling typical in high-volume SMT assembly.
Does HZK2CTR-S-E meet RoHS requirements?
Yes, HZK2CTR-S-E complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments. Renesas Electronics confirms lead-free terminations and absence of restricted substances, as documented in their environmental compliance statements dated post-2006.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of HZK2CTR-S-E on a standard PCB?
Renesas specifies no explicit RθJA value for the LLD package in isolation, but thermal performance data shows 500 mW power dissipation is sustainable at TA = 25°C on a 15 × 20 × 1.6 mm glass-epoxy PCB. Derating begins linearly above 25°C ambient, reaching zero dissipation at ~125°C ambient per Figure 3 in the datasheet.
Can HZK2CTR-S-E be used as a substitute for HZK2B or HZK2C?
Yes - HZK2CTR-S-E is a Renesas-authorized marking variant of the HZK2C grade, sharing identical electrical specifications (2.2–2.6 V VZ, 100 Ω rd, 5 µA IR) and LLD packaging. The "TR-S-E" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with enhanced moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling per J-STD-020.
