Product details
Overview
HZS11C3TD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power stabilized power supplies, with a nominal zener voltage of 11.4–11.9 V at 5 mA, 7.5 Ω dynamic resistance, and 400 mW power dissipation in the MHD package. It operates across −55°C to +175°C storage temperature and supports high-speed automatic insertion on 5 mm-pitch PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the HZS11C3TD-E datasheet, HZS11C3TD-E pinout, HZS11C3TD-E application, or HZS11C3TD-E equivalent, this device serves as a stable reference or clamp in analog front-ends, sensor biasing circuits, and overvoltage protection stages where tight voltage tolerance (±0.5 V), low leakage (<5 µA at VR = 9.5 V), and predictable temperature coefficient are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode employs a silicon planar junction structure optimized for low dynamic impedance and minimal voltage drift over temperature. Its zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with test condition VR = 9.5 V, ensuring consistent clamping behavior under defined reverse-bias conditions.
The device exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of approximately −0.04 %/°C near 11.7 V, enabling predictable thermal compensation when paired with positive-TC components. It is rated for junction temperatures up to 200°C and conforms to Renesas' Standard quality grade for industrial and consumer applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 12 V ±5%, rd = 9 Ω, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Higher power and looser tolerance; requires layout change for axial lead spacing | Select when higher surge energy handling is needed and 12 V nominal is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance for HZS11C3TD-E?
The HZS11C3TD-E has a zener voltage range of 11.4 V to 11.9 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to a ±0.5 V absolute tolerance. This tight window is specified per the C3 grade in the HZS Series datasheet (REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00) and reflects its suitability for precision regulation tasks where nominal 11.7 V operation is required without post-production trimming. The HZS11C3TD-E achieves this via controlled planar junction doping and screening.
Does HZS11C3TD-E support automatic insertion on standard PCBs?
Yes, the HZS11C3TD-E uses the MHD package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A) with 5 mm lead pitch and standardized axial geometry, explicitly designed for high-speed automatic insertion equipment. Its 2.0 mm diameter body and 26.0 mm length comply with industry-standard feeders and placement nozzles, eliminating manual orientation steps. The HZS11C3TD-E's lake-blue cathode band provides unambiguous polarity identification during vision-based inspection.
What is the maximum reverse current for HZS11C3TD-E at 9.5 V?
The HZS11C3TD-E guarantees a maximum reverse current (IR) of 5 µA when tested at VR = 9.5 V and Ta = 25°C, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of REJ03G0184-0500. This low leakage supports energy-efficient designs-such as battery-powered sensor nodes-where standby current must remain below 10 µA. The HZS11C3TD-E maintains this spec across its full storage temperature range due to its silicon planar construction.
Can HZS11C3TD-E be used in automotive under-hood applications?
The HZS11C3TD-E is rated for junction temperatures up to 200°C and storage from −55°C to +175°C, meeting thermal requirements for many under-hood locations. However, Renesas classifies it as "Standard" grade-not "High Quality"-so it is not qualified for safety-critical automotive functions like engine control or braking. The HZS11C3TD-E may be used in non-safety automotive subsystems (e.g., cabin lighting control, infotainment power rails) provided system-level validation confirms reliability under vibration, humidity, and thermal cycling per AEC-Q200 guidelines.
What is the dynamic resistance of HZS11C3TD-E and why does it matter?
The HZS11C3TD-E has a maximum dynamic resistance (rd) of 7.5 Ω at IZ = 5 mA, measured with DC. This value quantifies how much the zener voltage changes per unit change in current-lower rd means better regulation stability. In practice, the HZS11C3TD-E's 7.5 Ω rd limits output variation to <38 mV for a ±5 mA load swing, making it ideal for feedback loops and reference buffers where ripple rejection and accuracy are essential.
