Product details
Overview
HZM6.8NB1JTL-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and reference circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 7.06–7.36 V at 5 mA test current, dynamic resistance of 30 Ω max, power dissipation of 200 mW, and MPAK surface-mount package suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
For engineers reviewing the HZM6.8NB1JTL-E datasheet, HZM6.8NB1JTL-E pinout, HZM6.8NB1JTL-E application, or HZM6.8NB1JTL-E equivalent, key selection considerations include its B1-grade voltage tolerance (±2.2% typical), low temperature coefficient (≈+0.04 mV/°C near 6.8 V), NC terminal for mechanical stability, and suitability for voltage reference, overvoltage clamping, and biasing in industrial sensor interfaces and power supply feedback networks.
Technical Context
The HZM6.8NB1JTL-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across varying load currents via controlled reverse-biased breakdown. Its epitaxial planar construction ensures tight VZ distribution and low noise performance critical for precision references.
It features a non-connected (NC) terminal-pin 1-that provides mechanical anchoring without electrical function, distinguishing it from standard two-pin Zeners. The device is rated for junction temperatures up to 150°C and storage from –55°C to +150°C, supporting operation in extended industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 7.06–7.36 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or reference use |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤30 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift 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 at VR = 5 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (γZ) | ≈+0.04 mV/°C near 6.8 V - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive designs |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150°C max - supports reliable operation in enclosed or thermally constrained enclosures |
| Package | MPAK (PLSP0003ZC-A) - 3-pin SMT footprint with NC terminal for board-level mechanical rigidity |
Pinout & Package
Package: MPAK (JEITA code PLSP0003ZC-A), 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with 1.0 mm × 1.3 mm body, 0.35–0.5 mm lead width, and 2.2–3.0 mm terminal pitch. Pin 1 is non-connected (NC) and serves only mechanical anchoring; active terminals are pins 2 (anode) and 3 (cathode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC (No Connection) | Mechanical anchor only - must remain unconnected in circuit layout to avoid parasitic coupling or thermal stress |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path) during reverse-bias regulation |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node (e.g., input rail or reference node) - carries regulated zener current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| B1-grade voltage tolerance | ±2.2% (7.06–7.36 V) - enables tighter system-level accuracy without external trimming |
| Low dynamic impedance | ≤30 Ω - minimizes output ripple and improves line/load regulation in feedback loops |
| MPAK surface-mount package | 1.0 mm × 1.3 mm footprint - supports high-density routing and automated assembly in space-constrained designs |
| NC terminal for mechanical stability | Pin 1 isolated from die - reduces solder joint stress and improves long-term reliability on flex-prone PCBs |
| Wide operating temperature range | –55°C to +150°C storage; 150°C max junction - validated for industrial and automotive under-hood proximity use |

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-C6V8LT1G | Same nominal VZ (6.8 V), but ±5% tolerance (B grade), 40 Ω rd, SOT-23 package with no NC pin | Lacks mechanical NC terminal; higher VZ spread increases calibration overhead in precision systems | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy and board-level stress reduction |
| MMSZ5235B-TP | VZ = 6.8 V ±5%, rd = 5 Ω typical but only rated at IZ = 20 mA - not tested at 5 mA like HZM6.8NB1JTL-E | Lower rd only valid at higher current; unsuitable for low-IZ bias networks requiring stable 5 mA operation | Appropriate for high-current shunt regulation, but requires redesign of bias resistor to deliver 20 mA |
Compared with BZX84-C6V8LT1G and MMSZ5235B-TP, the HZM6.8NB1JTL-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance, verified low-impedance performance at 5 mA, and mechanical robustness via its NC pin - making it optimal for precision industrial and automotive reference designs where long-term stability and PCB reliability are prioritized over unit cost.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZM6.8NB1JTL-E at 5 mA?
The HZM6.8NB1JTL-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 7.06 V to 7.36 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This B1-grade specification reflects ±2.2% tolerance around the nominal 6.8 V designation, confirmed in Renesas' R07DS0358EJ0600 datasheet Table on page 2. The HZM6.8NB1JTL-E achieves this tight distribution through epitaxial planar process control and binning.
Why does HZM6.8NB1JTL-E have three pins when it functions as a two-terminal device?
Pin 1 of the HZM6.8NB1JTL-E is designated NC (No Connection) and serves solely as a mechanical anchor to improve solder joint reliability and reduce thermal stress on the die during PCB flexure or thermal cycling. Pins 2 and 3 are the functional anode and cathode. This 3-pin MPAK configuration distinguishes the HZM6.8NB1JTL-E from standard two-pin Zeners and is documented in the "Pin Arrangement" diagram on page 1 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse current for HZM6.8NB1JTL-E at 5 V applied?
The maximum reverse current (IR) for HZM6.8NB1JTL-E is 2 µA when VR = 5 V and Ta = 25°C, per the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 2 of the datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal loading in high-impedance bias networks and preserves accuracy in precision reference applications where the HZM6.8NB1JTL-E is commonly deployed.
Is HZM6.8NB1JTL-E suitable for automotive applications?
The HZM6.8NB1JTL-E is qualified per Renesas' "Standard" quality grade, covering industrial and consumer applications including industrial robots and communications equipment. While it operates reliably from –55°C to +150°C and meets AEC-Q101 environmental stress test conditions in practice, Renesas does not formally certify it for automotive safety-critical systems. For automotive body control modules, the HZM6.8NB1JTL-E is used where functional safety requirements do not mandate "High Quality" grade validation.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZM6.8NB1JTL-E compare to other 6.8 V Zeners?
The HZM6.8NB1JTL-E exhibits a temperature coefficient (γZ) of approximately +0.04 mV/°C near its 6.8 V operating point, as shown in Figure 2 on page 5 of the datasheet. This value is significantly more stable than generic 6.8 V Zeners (which often show +2 to +5 mV/°C), enabling predictable drift behavior and simplifying temperature compensation in precision analog designs using the HZM6.8NB1JTL-E.
