Product details
Overview
HZS12C1TD-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 13.8–14.3 V at 1 mA test current, 9.5 Ω dynamic resistance, and 400 mW maximum power dissipation in the MHD package.
For engineers reviewing the HZS12C1TD-E datasheet, HZS12C1TD-E pinout, HZS12C1TD-E application, or HZS12C1TD-E equivalent, this device serves as a compact, high-stability voltage reference for analog sensing circuits, microcontroller reset supervision, and low-current bias networks where tight tolerance and low temperature drift are required.
Technical Context
The HZS12C1TD-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under reverse-biased conditions. It exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately −0.04 %/°C (−40 mV/°C) near 14 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient-temperature-varying designs.
Its low leakage current (<1 µA at VR = 11.2 V), low dynamic impedance (9.5 Ω at IZ = 1 mA), and rated junction temperature of 200°C support reliable operation in industrial-grade embedded power rails and sensor front-end conditioning stages without active thermal management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 13.8–14.3 V at IZ = 1 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference generation. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 9.5 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current shifts. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 µA at VR = 11.2 V - minimizes quiescent current loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive circuits. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C max - enables operation in high-ambient environments such as industrial motor controls or automotive under-hood modules. |
| Package Type | MHD (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) - 5 mm pitch, axial-leaded, paper-phenol body optimized for high-speed automatic insertion. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MHD (axial-leaded, 2.0 mm diameter × 26.0 mm length, 0.4 mm lead diameter, 5 mm pitch), JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A, mass ≈ 0.084 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side reference node | Connected to regulated voltage rail; carries reverse current during zener conduction. |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side return path | Grounded or connected to lower potential; completes current path for voltage stabilization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 9.5 Ω max ensures <±20 mV output shift under ±20 mA load transients in feedback-sensing applications. |
| Wide zener voltage range | 1.6–38 V family coverage allows direct selection of HZS12C1TD-E for 14 V system rails without external scaling. |
| High-temperature capability | 200°C junction rating permits use in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating components without derating. |
| Automated assembly compatibility | 5 mm pitch and standardized MHD dimensions enable direct integration into high-volume SMT-compatible through-hole lines. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4742A (ON Semiconductor) | 12 V nominal, 20 Ω rd, 1 W Pd, DO-41 package | Higher power, looser tolerance (±5%), larger footprint | Preferred where higher surge handling is needed but 14 V reference is not required. |
| BZX55-C15 (Vishay) | 15 V nominal, 30 Ω rd, 500 mW Pd, DO-35 package | Higher voltage, higher impedance, different thermal profile | Suitable for 15 V systems with relaxed regulation stability requirements. |
Compared with 1N4742A and BZX55-C15, the HZS12C1TD-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance (±1.8% vs. ±5%), lower dynamic impedance (9.5 Ω vs. ≥20 Ω), and optimized MHD packaging for automated insertion-making it preferable for space-constrained, high-stability 14 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS12C1TD-E?
The HZS12C1TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 13.8 V to 14.3 V when tested at IZ = 1 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 500 mV span reflects the C3 grade tolerance within the HZS12 family, confirmed in Renesas' REJ03G0184-0500 datasheet, page 4.
Does HZS12C1TD-E support surface-mount assembly?
No, HZS12C1TD-E uses the axial-leaded MHD package (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) with 5 mm pitch and 26 mm body length, designed exclusively for through-hole or high-speed automatic insertion-not SMT reflow. Its construction lacks solder pads or gull-wing leads required for surface mounting.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZS12C1TD-E?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZS12C1TD-E is 1 µA at VR = 11.2 V and Ta = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 4 of the official Renesas datasheet (REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00). This low leakage preserves efficiency in standby or battery-powered circuits.
Can HZS12C1TD-E be used in automotive applications?
HZS12C1TD-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' documentation and is intended for computers, office equipment, and industrial robots-not automotive safety-critical systems. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification and is not recommended for under-hood or ADAS applications without additional validation.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for HZS12C1TD-E?
The datasheet does not specify RθJA for HZS12C1TD-E. However, Figure 3 (Page 5) shows power dissipation derating: 400 mW at 25°C ambient, linearly decreasing to 0 mW at ~150°C. Using this curve, RθJA is estimated at ~312.5°C/W (125°C rise / 0.4 W), consistent with axial MHD package physics.
