Product details
Overview
HZM20NB1TR-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 20.88 V to 21.77 V at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 50 Ω, power dissipation rating of 200 mW, and operates within –55°C to +150°C storage temperature range. It is commonly used in voltage reference generation for sensor signal conditioning and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the HZM20NB1TR-E datasheet, HZM20NB1TR-E pinout, HZM20NB1TR-E application, or HZM20NB1TR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.2% at 20.88–21.77 V), low dynamic impedance for stable regulation, MPAK surface-mount package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, and thermal stability across industrial ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The HZM20NB1TR-E employs a silicon epitaxial planar junction structure optimized for tight zener voltage control and low temperature coefficient (≈+0.045 mV/°C near 20 V). Its design targets stable DC voltage reference applications where low leakage and predictable breakdown behavior under reverse bias are critical.
It operates exclusively in reverse-biased mode with specified test conditions: IZ = 5 mA, pulse width = 40 ms, and ambient temperature = 25°C. The device exhibits no forward conduction functionality - its anode and cathode terminals are unidirectional and non-symmetrical, with pin 1 designated as NC (no connection).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.88 V to 21.77 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or reference use. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 50 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 200 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous reverse power handling before thermal derating applies. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 2 μA max at VR = 15.0 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or high-impedance reference nodes. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C maximum - enables operation in thermally demanding industrial environments without derating failure. |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | +0.045 mV/°C (typ.) - provides predictable, low-drift voltage shift over temperature for stable references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPAK (JEITA code PLSP0003ZC-A), surface-mount, 3-terminal plastic package with 1.0 mm × 1.3 mm footprint and 0.55 mm nominal terminal pitch. Compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles and high-density PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connection (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or soldering required. |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential side of circuit; reverse-bias current enters here during regulation. |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential side; zener voltage appears between cathode and anode when reverse biased. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage grade B1 | Tight tolerance band (20.88–21.77 V) enables accurate voltage referencing without external trimming. |
| MPAK package | 0.55 mm pitch, 1.0 mm × 1.3 mm footprint supports miniaturized designs and automated high-speed placement. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 50 Ω max ensures <10 mV output shift per 0.5 mA load change - critical for precision analog feedback. |
| High junction temperature rating | 150°C Tj allows reliable operation in enclosed enclosures or near heat-generating components. |
| Controlled temperature coefficient | +0.045 mV/°C minimizes drift in 20 V range - suitable for industrial-grade reference stability. |

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-C20LT1G | Zener voltage 19.3–20.7 V (±5%), 350 mW Pd, SOT-23 package, rd = 50 Ω typical. | Higher power rating but wider VZ tolerance; less suitable for precision references. | Select when higher surge capability is needed and ±5% regulation tolerance is acceptable. |
| MMSZ5248B-TP | Zener voltage 19.5–20.5 V (±5%), 500 mW Pd, SOD-123 package, rd = 35 Ω typical. | Lower rd and higher Pd, but same VZ tolerance; larger footprint than MPAK. | Choose for improved thermal margin and tighter dynamic impedance where board space permits SOD-123. |
Compared with BZX84-C20LT1G and MMSZ5248B-TP, the HZM20NB1TR-E offers superior VZ accuracy (±2.2% vs. ±5%) and MPAK's compact footprint - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-precision reference designs despite lower power rating.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZM20NB1TR-E at 5 mA?
The HZM20NB1TR-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 20.88 V to 21.77 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This B1-grade specification reflects ±2.2% tolerance around the nominal 21.3 V center point, confirmed in Renesas' R07DS0358EJ0600 datasheet, page 2.
Is pin 1 of HZM20NB1TR-E electrically connected internally?
No - pin 1 of the HZM20NB1TR-E is designated NC (No Connection) and is not bonded to any internal die structure. As shown in the "Pin Arrangement" diagram on page 1 of the datasheet, only pins 2 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) are functional; pin 1 must remain unconnected on the PCB layout.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZM20NB1TR-E at 15.0 V?
The HZM20NB1TR-E specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 2 μA when subjected to VR = 15.0 V, per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet. This low leakage supports high-impedance reference node integrity in precision analog circuits.
Can HZM20NB1TR-E be used in place of a standard 20 V Zener diode like 1N4744A?
No - the HZM20NB1TR-E is not a drop-in replacement for 1N4744A. While both regulate near 20 V, the HZM20NB1TR-E uses MPAK packaging (3-pin, NC-anode-cathode), whereas 1N4744A is DO-41 (2-pin, axial). Additionally, HZM20NB1TR-E has tighter VZ tolerance (±2.2% vs. ±5%) and lower Pd (200 mW vs. 1 W), requiring layout and thermal redesign.
What is the temperature coefficient behavior of HZM20NB1TR-E near its zener voltage?
The HZM20NB1TR-E exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +0.045 mV/°C at 20 V, as shown in Figure 2 ("Temperature Coefficient vs. Zener voltage") on page 5 of the datasheet. This low, predictable drift supports stable reference performance across industrial temperature ranges without external compensation.
