Product details
Overview
HZM20NB2JTR-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 20.21–21.08 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 used in voltage reference supplies for sensor signal conditioning and microcontroller ADC biasing.
For engineers reviewing the HZM20NB2JTR-E datasheet, HZM20NB2JTR-E pinout, HZM20NB2JTR-E application, or HZM20NB2JTR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±4.4% at grade B2), 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
This device employs a silicon epitaxial planar junction structure optimized for tight zener voltage control and predictable temperature coefficient behavior. Its graded doping profile ensures stable reverse breakdown characteristics under pulsed (40 ms) and DC bias conditions.
The HZM20NB2JTR-E exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of approximately +0.05 mV/°C near 20 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs. It is rated for 2 mA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 15.0 V and supports stable regulation down to 2 mA minimum zener current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.21–21.08 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback loops and reference rails |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 50 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 |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 2 µA max at VR = 15.0 V - guarantees low quiescent current in standby or battery-powered circuits |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C max - enables reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced cooling |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | +0.05 mV/°C typical at 20 V - allows predictable drift modeling for compensated references |
Pinout & Package

| 2 | Anode | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in reverse-bias regulation configuration |
| 3 | Cathode | High-impedance input for regulated output; ties to supply rail in shunt regulator topology |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5254B-TP (Micro Commercial) | Zener voltage 20 V ±5%, rd = 50 Ω, SOD-123 package (1.7 mm × 1.3 mm) | Larger footprint; higher thermal resistance (350°C/W vs. ~280°C/W for MPAK) | Preferred where SOD-123 is already standardized; requires layout revision for MPAK footprint |
| BZX84-C20 (Nexperia) | Zener voltage 20 V ±5%, rd = 60 Ω, SOT-23 package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm) | Higher dynamic resistance; 3-pin SOT-23 includes NC pin but larger X-Y area | Suitable for legacy designs using SOT-23; less optimal for ultra-dense layouts than MPAK |
Compared with MMSZ5254B-TP and BZX84-C20, the HZM20NB2JTR-E offers tighter voltage grading (B2 vs. standard ±5%), identical dynamic resistance, and the smallest footprint among the three-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-precision reference designs requiring long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for HZM20NB2JTR-E?
The HZM20NB2JTR-E has a zener voltage range of 20.21 V to 21.08 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±4.4% tolerance for grade B2. This tighter specification than standard-grade Zeners supports higher-accuracy reference designs without external trimming. The value is verified per Renesas R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00 datasheet, page 3.
Is pin 1 of HZM20NB2JTR-E electrically connected?
No - pin 1 of the HZM20NB2JTR-E is a no-connect (NC) terminal, as confirmed in the "Pin Arrangement" diagram on page 1 of the Renesas datasheet. It must remain unconnected on the PCB to prevent unintended coupling, mechanical stress, or thermal path disruption. The functional terminals are pin 2 (anode) and pin 3 (cathode).
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZM20NB2JTR-E?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZM20NB2JTR-E is 2 µA at VR = 15.0 V, specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 3 of the Renesas datasheet. This low leakage supports energy-efficient operation in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 5 µA.
Can HZM20NB2JTR-E be used in automotive under-hood applications?
The HZM20NB2JTR-E supports storage temperatures from –55°C to +150°C and junction temperature up to 150°C, meeting under-hood thermal requirements. However, Renesas classifies it as "Standard" grade (not "High Quality"), so it is not qualified for automotive safety-critical systems per AEC-Q101. It may be used in non-safety automotive subsystems if validated per customer qualification protocols.
What is the thermal resistance of HZM20NB2JTR-E in its MPAK package?
The datasheet does not specify junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) directly, but Figure 3 ("Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature") implies an effective RθJA of approximately 280°C/W on a standard FR-4 PCB with 1.6 mm thickness and 1 oz copper. Derating begins above 25°C ambient, reaching 100 mW at 75°C - critical for thermal design in sealed enclosures.
