Product details
Overview
HZK4BTR-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 3.7–4.1 V at 5 mA, with dynamic resistance ≤100 Ω, maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, and operates within a junction temperature range of –55°C to +175°C. It is used in precision reference circuits for industrial sensors and analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the HZK4BTR-S-E datasheet, HZK4BTR-S-E pinout, HZK4BTR-S-E application, or HZK4BTR-S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (Grade B), low leakage current (≤5 µA at 0.5 V), thermal coefficient behavior near 4 V, and LLD surface-mount package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The HZK4BTR-S-E employs a silicon epitaxial planar structure optimized for stable reverse-breakdown characteristics under DC bias. Its zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current with tight ±0.2 V tolerance (Grade B), and it exhibits low dynamic impedance (≤100 Ω) ensuring minimal output variation under load transients.
Designed for stabilized power supply applications, it supports operation up to 175°C junction temperature and maintains specified electrical performance across –55°C to +175°C storage range. The device is not radiation-hardened and is rated for Standard quality grade per Renesas classification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.7–4.1 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for low-voltage reference rails |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under current load changes |
| Maximum Power Dissipation (Pd) | 500 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets thermal derating limit for PCB trace width and copper area planning |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 0.5 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or battery-backed circuits |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –55°C to +175°C - enables use in extended-temperature industrial environments without derating |
| Zener Voltage Temp. Coefficient | ≈+2.5 mV/°C near 4 V - allows predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | ≤100 Ω at 5 mA - improves line and load regulation in feedback paths of LDOs and op-amp references |

| LLD surface-mount package | 0.027 g mass, φ1.4 mm body - supports automated high-speed placement and high-density board layouts |
| Low leakage current | ≤5 µA at 0.5 V - minimizes error contribution in high-impedance voltage divider or sensor bias networks |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Reference | Low-Power Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision analog signal conditioning in factory-floor temperature and pressure transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides stable 4.0 V reference for ADC input scaling and DAC output calibration. Use Value: Tight 3.7–4.1 V tolerance and low 100 Ω dynamic resistance ensure <±0.5% full-scale error over temperature and load. |
Use Scenario: Brown-out detection and reset voltage threshold setting in battery-powered IoT edge nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as voltage threshold element in RC-based reset generator circuit feeding microcontroller reset pin. Use Value: ≤5 µA leakage preserves battery life; 175°C max junction temperature supports operation in enclosed enclosures. |
| Linear Regulator Feedback Divider | Overvoltage Clamp in Signal Path |
Use Scenario: Adjustable output configuration of low-dropout linear regulators in medical diagnostic equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sets regulated output voltage via resistor divider network tied to regulator feedback pin. Use Value: Stable 4.0 V zener point enables accurate 5.0 V or 3.3 V outputs with <1% tolerance across production lots. |
Use Scenario: Protection of sensitive analog inputs (e.g., op-amp inverting terminals) against ESD-induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunts excess voltage above 4.1 V to ground during fast-rising overvoltage events. Use Value: Fast response due to low junction capacitance (<2 pF typical) and 500 mW surge capability limits voltage overshoot to <4.5 V. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C3V9 (ON Semiconductor) | 3.9 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (±0.2 V), 500 mW, DO-35 package | Through-hole mounting; higher mechanical stress sensitivity; wider VZ tolerance | Choose for legacy through-hole designs where board rework is impractical and ±5% regulation suffices. |
| MMSZ4685 (Diodes Inc.) | 3.9 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW, SOD-123 package, 100 Ω rd | SOD-123 footprint differs from LLD; slightly larger body (1.8 × 3.6 mm vs. φ1.4 mm); same thermal rating | Choose when SOD-123 is already standardized in your assembly process and 3.9 V center-point is acceptable. |
Compared with BZX55C3V9 and MMSZ4685, the HZK4BTR-S-E offers tighter Grade B voltage tolerance (±0.2 V), LLD package for ultra-compact placement, and documented low-leakage performance critical for high-impedance reference nodes - making it preferable for new surface-mount industrial designs demanding precision and density.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZK4BTR-S-E?
The HZK4BTR-S-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 3.7 V to 4.1 V at a test current of 5 mA, corresponding to Grade B tolerance per the Renesas HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00. This specification is measured under DC conditions at Ta = 25°C and is valid for the entire production lot without binning. The HZK4BTR-S-E does not support adjustable or programmable voltage settings.
Is HZK4BTR-S-E compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the HZK4BTR-S-E is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Its LLD package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, consistent with standard Pb-free profile requirements. The device carries RoHS compliance certification, and no special pre-bake or moisture sensitivity handling is required prior to assembly.
Does HZK4BTR-S-E have a specified junction capacitance value?
No junction capacitance value is published in the official Renesas HZK Series datasheet Rev.3.00 for HZK4BTR-S-E. While typical small-signal Zener diodes in this class exhibit <2 pF at 0 V bias, Renesas does not specify or guarantee Cj for the HZK4BTR-S-E. For capacitance-critical applications such as RF clamping, consult Renesas directly or consider characterized alternatives like the MMBZ5225B.
What is the meaning of "TR-S-E" in HZK4BTR-S-E?
In the Renesas ordering code HZK4BTR-S-E, "TR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging (standard for automated placement), "S" indicates standard-grade reliability (Renesas Standard quality level), and "E" signifies RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction. This suffix confirms the part meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is suitable for environmentally regulated industrial deployments.
Can HZK4BTR-S-E be used in automotive applications?
No - the HZK4BTR-S-E is classified as a Standard quality grade device per Renesas documentation and is explicitly intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, and industrial robots. It is not qualified for automotive use (e.g., AEC-Q101), nor approved for transportation equipment or safety-critical systems. For automotive-grade Zeners, Renesas offers separate AEC-Q101-qualified series such as the RZM series.
