Product details
Overview
HZM5.1NB1TR-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and digital supply rails. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 5.14–5.55 V at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance ≤130 Ω, power dissipation up to 200 mW, and operates within –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range - commonly used in voltage reference circuits for microcontroller reset supervision and sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the HZM5.1NB1TR-E datasheet, HZM5.1NB1TR-E pinout, HZM5.1NB1TR-E application, or HZM5.1NB1TR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its B1-grade zener voltage tolerance (±4.3% at 5 mA), MPAK surface-mount package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, thermal stability across industrial ambient temperatures, and suitability as a compact, low-cost alternative to TL431-based shunt references in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The HZM5.1NB1TR-E employs a silicon epitaxial planar junction structure optimized for stable reverse breakdown behavior under DC and pulsed conditions (Pw = 40 ms). Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient near zero crossing (~0.02 mV/°C at 5.1 V), minimizing drift over temperature in reference applications.
Designed for surface-mount assembly in high-volume production, the device uses a three-terminal MPAK package with Pin 1 (NC), Pin 2 (Anode), and Pin 3 (Cathode) - enabling straightforward integration into feedback networks, overvoltage clamping paths, and precision biasing nodes without requiring external compensation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.14–5.55 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines tight regulation window for 5 V system references. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤130 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output impedance and low AC ripple sensitivity. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 200 mW - supports continuous operation in low-current biasing and sensing circuits. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 1.5 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or battery-powered modes. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –55°C to +150°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
| Package | MPAK (PLSP0003ZC-A) - 3-pin SMT package with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 2.7 × 1.35 mm footprint. |

Applications
| Microcontroller Reset Circuit | Sensor Bias Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Provides stable 5.1 V threshold for supervisory ICs (e.g., MAX809) to assert reset during brown-out conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acts as precision voltage threshold element in RC-based reset timing network. Use Value: Tight B1-grade VZ tolerance ensures consistent reset assertion across temperature and unit-to-unit variation. |
Use Scenario: Supplies stable bias voltage to analog output sensors (e.g., pressure transducers) requiring <1% reference accuracy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as passive shunt reference replacing active regulators where ultra-low quiescent current is critical. Use Value: ≤5 µA reverse leakage minimizes error contribution in µA-level sensor excitation circuits. |
| ADC Reference Clamp | Overvoltage Protection Node |
Use Scenario: Clamps input to 12-bit SAR ADC reference pin (e.g., ADS7822) against transient overshoot beyond 5.5 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt limiter placed between AVDD and REF pins to absorb ESD-induced spikes. Use Value: 130 Ω dynamic resistance limits clamp voltage excursion to <50 mV above VZ during fast transients. |
Use Scenario: Protects downstream logic inputs (e.g., GPIO of STM32F4) from accidental 12 V misconnection on 5 V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting crowbar element that conducts above 5.55 V to divert fault current. Use Value: 200 mW power rating sustains 100 ms overvoltage events without thermal runaway. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C5V1 (ON Semiconductor) | 5.1 V ±5% (C-grade), DO-35 through-hole package, Pd = 500 mW | Requires PCB hole drilling; higher power but larger footprint and manual assembly | Select when legacy through-hole design or higher surge energy handling is needed. |
| MMSZ5231B (Diodes Inc.) | 5.1 V ±5%, SOD-123 package, Pd = 500 mW, rd = 17 Ω | Lower dynamic resistance but wider voltage tolerance; same SMT form factor | Prefer when tighter regulation under load variation matters more than absolute VZ accuracy. |
Compared with BZX55-C5V1 and MMSZ5231B, the HZM5.1NB1TR-E offers superior voltage tolerance (±4.3% vs. ±5%) in an ultra-compact MPAK package, making it optimal for new high-density designs where board space and unit-to-unit consistency are prioritized over raw power handling or ultra-low rd.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZM5.1NB1TR-E?
The HZM5.1NB1TR-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 5.14 V to 5.55 V at a test current of 5 mA, corresponding to its B1 grade per the Renesas R07DS0358EJ0600 datasheet. This ±4.3% tolerance is tighter than standard C-grade Zeners and supports precise voltage thresholding without calibration in production.
Does HZM5.1NB1TR-E have a functional NC pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Yes, Pin 1 of the HZM5.1NB1TR-E is a true No Connect (NC) terminal - internally unconnected and electrically isolated. It must remain unconnected on the PCB: no trace routing, no solder mask opening, and no thermal pad connection. Leaving it floating avoids parasitic coupling or unintended current paths in high-impedance reference nodes.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current for HZM5.1NB1TR-E before regulation degrades?
The HZM5.1NB1TR-E specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 5 µA at VR = 1.5 V, measured at 25°C. Regulation remains stable up to its rated 5 mA zener test current; operation below 1 mA may increase dynamic resistance, while exceeding 5 mA risks exceeding the 200 mW power limit unless derated per Fig.3 in the datasheet.
Can HZM5.1NB1TR-E replace a TL431 shunt regulator in low-power applications?
The HZM5.1NB1TR-E can serve as a passive replacement for TL431 in fixed-voltage reference roles where adjustable feedback, high current sinking (>100 mA), or temperature-compensated operation is unnecessary. Unlike the TL431, it lacks an internal op-amp and reference, so it provides only basic zener stabilization - ideal for simple reset thresholds or bias points where <5 µA leakage and ±4.3% accuracy suffice.
Is HZM5.1NB1TR-E RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, HZM5.1NB1TR-E meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and is halogen-free per Renesas' environmental compliance documentation. The MPAK package contains no lead in solderable terminations, and all materials conform to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 - suitable for standard reflow profiles without baking.
