Product details
Overview
HZM18NB3TR-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and reference circuits. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 18.21 V to 19.03 V at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 45 Ω, power dissipation rating of 200 mW, and operates within –55°C to +150°C storage temperature range. It is commonly used in voltage regulation for sensor biasing and power supply feedback networks.
For engineers reviewing the HZM18NB3TR-E datasheet, HZM18NB3TR-E pinout, HZM18NB3TR-E application, or HZM18NB3TR-E equivalent, key selection considerations include its B3-grade zener voltage tolerance (±2.3% typical), MPAK surface-mount package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, thermal stability across industrial temperature ranges, and suitability for low-current (<5 mA) stabilization tasks where tight voltage accuracy and low dynamic impedance are required.
Technical Context
The HZM18NB3TR-E employs a silicon epitaxial planar junction structure optimized for stable reverse breakdown behavior under DC and pulsed conditions (40 ms pulse width). Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +0.07 mV/°C near 18 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
Designed for operation at IZ = 5 mA, it maintains low dynamic resistance (45 Ω max) and reverse leakage current ≤2 μA at VR = 13.0 V. The device is rated for 200 mW power dissipation at Ta = 25°C, derating linearly above 25°C per Fig.3 in the datasheet.
Key Specifications

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%), 350 mW Pd, SOT-23 package, 30 Ω rd | Higher power handling but wider VZ tolerance; requires layout change due to different footprint | Select when higher surge energy absorption is needed and ±5.6% VZ tolerance is acceptable |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | Zener voltage 17.1–18.9 V (±5%), 500 mW Pd, SOD-123 package, 35 Ω rd | Higher power and lower rd, but larger 2.7 × 1.6 mm package increases board area vs. MPAK's 1.0 × 1.3 mm | Choose for cost-sensitive designs needing higher reliability margin and less stringent size constraints |
Compared with BZX84-C18LT1G and MMSZ5245B-TP, the HZM18NB3TR-E offers tighter voltage tolerance (±2.3% vs. ±5–5.6%) and smallest footprint, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-accuracy analog reference designs-though at lower absolute power rating.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of HZM18NB3TR-E?
The HZM18NB3TR-E has a zener voltage range of 18.21 V to 19.03 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to grade B3 with ±2.3% tolerance around the nominal 18.62 V midpoint. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00 and enables direct use in precision reference applications without external trimming.
Does HZM18NB3TR-E have a usable anode connection?
No - Pin 1 of the HZM18NB3TR-E is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. Only Pins 2 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) are electrically active. The datasheet explicitly states "1. NC" in the Pin Arrangement diagram (page 1), and this is reinforced by the absence of any electrical specification tied to Pin 1 in Absolute Maximum Ratings or Electrical Characteristics.
What is the maximum reverse current for HZM18NB3TR-E at 13.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) for HZM18NB3TR-E is 2 μA at VR = 13.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks where current draw must be minimized to avoid signal path errors.
Can HZM18NB3TR-E be used in place of HZM18NB2TR-E?
No - HZM18NB3TR-E and HZM18NB2TR-E are distinct grade variants: B3 specifies 18.21–19.03 V, while B2 specifies 19.52–20.39 V. Their zener voltage ranges do not overlap, and substituting one for the other would result in >5% output error in regulation circuits. The datasheet lists them as separate rows with non-overlapping min/max values, confirming they are not interchangeable.
What is the thermal derating behavior of HZM18NB3TR-E above 25°C?
HZM18NB3TR-E follows linear thermal derating from 200 mW at Ta = 25°C, as shown in Fig.3 (Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature) on page 5 of R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00. Derating begins immediately above 25°C, reaching ~120 mW at 75°C and ~40 mW at 125°C. This curve is based on mounting on a standard 1.6 mm FR-4 PCB with 25 mm² copper area per terminal.
