Product details
Overview
HZM27NBTL-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 27 V (min 25.1 V, max 28.9 V) at 2 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 70 Ω and maximum reverse current of 2 μA at 21 V, suitable for voltage regulation in sensor biasing, power supply feedback loops, and ADC reference conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the HZM27NBTL-E datasheet, HZM27NBTL-E pinout, HZM27NBTL-E application, or HZM27NBTL-E equivalent, key selection considerations include its MPAK package footprint, ±5% zener voltage tolerance (Grade B), 200 mW power dissipation limit, temperature coefficient behavior near zero crossing (~0.02 mV/°C at 27 V), and compatibility with high-density SMT assembly processes.
Technical Context
The HZM27NBTL-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across varying load currents by conducting excess current to ground when input exceeds VZ. Its epitaxial planar construction ensures tight parameter distribution and low noise performance critical for precision references.
Designed for operation at IZ = 2 mA, it exhibits a dynamic resistance of 70 Ω - directly impacting regulation accuracy under load transients - and a junction temperature limit of 150°C, enabling reliable use in industrial ambient conditions up to 85°C with appropriate PCB thermal relief.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.1 V to 28.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines stable regulation range for mid-range voltage references |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 70 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Maximum Reverse Current (IR) | 2 μA at VR = 21 V - ensures minimal leakage in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 200 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets absolute thermal limit; derates linearly above 25°C per Fig.3 |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C maximum - constrains PCB copper area and airflow requirements in enclosed designs |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | ≈ +0.02 mV/°C at 27 V - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPAK (JEITA code PLSP0003ZC-A), surface-mount, 3-pin, 1.0 mm × 1.3 mm × 0.55 mm body, SC-59A compatible footprint, taping format TL (3,000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or soldering required |
| 2 | Anode | Current entry point during forward bias; tied to lower-potential node in zener configuration |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; carries zener current to ground when VIN > VZ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Grade-B zener voltage tolerance | ±7% (25.1–28.9 V) - balances cost and precision for non-critical stabilization |
| MPAK package | 0.55 mm profile and 1.0 mm × 1.3 mm footprint - supports ultra-dense PCB layouts and high-speed pick-and-place |
| Pulse-tested characterization | Parameters verified with 40 ms pulse width - ensures reliability under transient overvoltage conditions |
| Low-temperature-coefficient region | γZ ≈ +0.02 mV/°C near 27 V - minimizes thermal drift in battery-powered or unheated enclosures |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Microcontroller Power Supply Feedback |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener stabilization applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27LT1G (onsemi) | Same 27 V nominal, SOT-23 package, 350 mW Pd, 80 Ω rd, tighter ±5% tolerance (C-grade) | Higher power handling but larger footprint; requires layout change | Select when higher surge energy absorption or tighter initial tolerance is required |
| MMSZ5256B-TP (Micro Commercial Components) | 27 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Pd, 100 Ω rd, ±5% tolerance, higher IR (10 μA @ 21 V) | Greater power margin but inferior leakage and noise; not drop-in due to different pad geometry | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-low-leakage applications where thermal mass matters more than precision |
Compared with BZX84-C27LT1G and MMSZ5256B-TP, the HZM27NBTL-E offers the smallest PCB footprint (MPAK), lowest leakage (2 μA), and optimal temperature coefficient near 27 V - making it preferred for space-constrained, low-drift analog signal chains despite its 200 mW limit.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for HZM27NBTL-E?
The HZM27NBTL-E is specified as Grade B, with a zener voltage range of 25.1 V to 28.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - representing approximately ±7% tolerance around the nominal 27 V rating. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00, and applies strictly under the stated test condition. The HZM27NBTL-E does not offer tighter grade options (e.g., B1/B2/B3) within this voltage point.
Does HZM27NBTL-E have a usable anode connection?
No - Pin 1 of the HZM27NBTL-E is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. Only Pins 2 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) form the functional zener junction. The NC pin must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing or soldering to it may compromise mechanical integrity or cause unintended parasitic coupling. This pin arrangement is explicitly shown in the "Pin Arrangement" diagram on page 1 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum power dissipation of HZM27NBTL-E at 70°C ambient?
Per Figure 3 ("Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature") on page 5 of R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00, the HZM27NBTL-E's allowable power dissipation linearly derates from 200 mW at 25°C to approximately 140 mW at 70°C ambient. This assumes standard mounting on a glass-epoxy PCB with 1.6 mm thickness and 1 oz Cu foil - no additional heatsinking. Exceeding this limit risks junction temperature exceeding 150°C.
Is HZM27NBTL-E RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the HZM27NBTL-E meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, as confirmed by Renesas' environmental compliance documentation referenced in the colophon of R07DS0358EJ0600 Rev.6.00. It is also halogen-free per JESD209-4, with chlorine and bromine content below 900 ppm each. The "E" suffix in the part number denotes RoHS-compliant packaging and processing.
Can HZM27NBTL-E be used in place of a 24 V zener diode?
No - the HZM27NBTL-E is specifically characterized and binned for 27 V regulation (25.1–28.9 V). Substituting it for a 24 V zener would result in ~12% higher regulated voltage, potentially violating downstream IC absolute maximum ratings or feedback loop setpoints. Renesas offers dedicated 24 V variants (e.g., HZM24N) with validated parameters at that voltage; the HZM27NBTL-E must be applied only within its specified VZ range.
