Product details
Overview
HZM18NB2JTL-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and reference circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 18.21 V to 19.03 V at 5 mA test current, 13.0 Ω dynamic resistance, and 200 mW power dissipation in the MPAK (SC-59A) surface-mount package - used in power supply feedback loops, sensor biasing, and ADC reference conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZM18NB2JTL-E datasheet, HZM18NB2JTL-E pinout, HZM18NB2JTL-E application, or HZM18NB2JTL-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, terminal roles, thermal limits, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all aligned to Renesas' R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00 preliminary datasheet.
Technical Context
The HZM18NB2JTL-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across varying load and input conditions by conducting reverse current above its specified zener breakdown threshold. Its junction temperature rating of 150°C supports operation in compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Designed for high-density SMT assembly, the device uses a silicon epitaxial planar structure to achieve tight zener voltage tolerance (±2.3% for grade B2), low dynamic resistance (13.0 Ω), and predictable temperature coefficient (≈+0.045 mV/°C near 18 V), enabling reliable performance in voltage reference and overvoltage clamp functions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 18.21 V to 19.03 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping/reference level for feedback networks. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 13.0 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 200 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating applies. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C max - determines upper thermal limit for reliability in enclosed or high-ambient environments. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 2 μA max at VR = 15.0 V - confirms low leakage below breakdown, critical for standby power integrity. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | +0.045 mV/°C (typ.) near 18 V - enables predictable drift compensation in precision references. |
| Package | MPAK (JEITA: PLSP0003ZC-A, SC-59A footprint) - 3-pin SMT package with NC, anode, cathode layout for automated placement. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPAK (SC-59A), 3-terminal surface-mount package with 1.0 mm × 1.3 mm body, 0.65 mm lead length, and JEITA code PLSP0003ZC-A. Pin 1 is NC (no internal connection), Pin 2 is Anode, Pin 3 is Cathode - top-view orientation matches standard SC-59A land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connection (NC) | Electrically isolated; no internal bond wire - must be left unconnected or floated on PCB. |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; forms current path into diode during regulation. |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; output reference voltage appears at this terminal relative to anode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage grade B2 tolerance | ±2.3% (18.21–19.03 V) - enables tighter system-level voltage accuracy without external trimming. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 13.0 Ω max - reduces output impedance for improved line/load regulation in feedback paths. |
| MPAK surface-mount package | 0.011 g mass, SC-59A footprint - supports high-density routing and reflow-compatible assembly. |
| Thermal robustness | 150°C max junction temperature - allows operation in industrial ambient conditions up to 85°C with margin. |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | +0.045 mV/°C near 18 V - simplifies drift-aware reference design versus uncharacterized Zeners. |
Applications
| Switched-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage stabilization applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C18LT1G | Zener voltage 17.5–18.5 V (±5.6%), 15 Ω rd, SOT-23 package, 350 mW Pd | Higher power rating but looser VZ tolerance; requires larger PCB area than MPAK | Preferred when higher surge energy handling is needed and board space permits SOT-23 footprint. |
| MMSZ4689-TP | Zener voltage 17.1–18.9 V (±5%), 20 Ω rd, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Pd | Higher Pd and wider VZ spread; lacks B2-grade precision and MPAK's high-density compatibility | Selected for cost-sensitive designs where ±5% regulation is acceptable and thermal margin exceeds 200 mW. |
Compared with BZX84-C18LT1G and MMSZ4689-TP, the HZM18NB2JTL-E offers tighter voltage tolerance (±2.3% vs. ±5–5.6%), lower dynamic resistance (13.0 Ω vs. 15–20 Ω), and smaller MPAK footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, precision-regulated systems where long-term stability and low drift are prioritized over raw power handling.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZM18NB2JTL-E at 5 mA?
The HZM18NB2JTL-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 18.21 V to 19.03 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C, per Renesas' R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00 datasheet. This B2-grade tolerance corresponds to ±2.3% about the nominal 18.62 V center point. The HZM18NB2JTL-E achieves this specification using silicon epitaxial planar process control, not post-trim calibration.
Does HZM18NB2JTL-E have a functional pin 1 connection?
No - pin 1 of the HZM18NB2JTL-E is designated NC (No Connection) and contains no internal bond wire or semiconductor junction. It must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing traces or soldering to pin 1 may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling. The active terminals are pin 2 (anode) and pin 3 (cathode), as confirmed in the "Pin Arrangement" diagram on page 1 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZM18NB2JTL-E below breakdown?
The HZM18NB2JTL-E specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 2 μA at VR = 15.0 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal quiescent power draw in always-on reference circuits and preserves accuracy in high-impedance bias networks. The value is measured under DC conditions and does not include transient surge behavior.
Can HZM18NB2JTL-E replace a generic 18 V Zener in existing designs?
Yes - the HZM18NB2JTL-E can directly replace generic 18 V Zeners in most SMT designs, provided the MPAK (SC-59A) footprint is used and pin 1 remains unconnected. Its tighter VZ tolerance (±2.3% vs. typical ±5%), lower rd (13.0 Ω), and controlled temperature coefficient improve regulation accuracy. However, verify thermal dissipation margins since its Pd is rated at 200 mW, not higher-power alternatives.
Is HZM18NB2JTL-E suitable for automotive applications?
The HZM18NB2JTL-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' documentation and is intended for computers, office equipment, communications gear, and industrial robots - not automotive or safety-critical systems. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification, extended temperature screening, or automotive-specific reliability testing. For automotive use, consult Renesas' "High Quality" grade equivalents or qualified alternatives.
