Product details
Overview
HZS20-1TD-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 20.2–21.1 V at 2 mA test current, 60 Ω dynamic resistance, and 400 mW maximum power dissipation in MHD package. It operates across −55°C to +175°C storage range and supports high-speed automatic insertion on 5 mm-pitch PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the HZS20-1TD-E datasheet, HZS20-1TD-E pinout, HZS20-1TD-E application, or HZS20-1TD-E equivalent, this device serves as a stable reference in analog sensing front-ends, industrial sensor biasing, and low-current voltage clamp circuits where tight tolerance and low temperature drift are required.
Technical Context
The HZS20-1TD-E employs a silicon planar junction structure optimized for low leakage and predictable reverse breakdown behavior under DC conditions. Its zener voltage is specified at 2 mA test current, with dynamic resistance measured at the same condition to ensure consistent regulation performance across operating loads.
Designed for surface-mount compatibility in MHD (miniature hermetic diode) package, it features a cathode band marking and two-terminal configuration. The device exhibits a negative zener voltage temperature coefficient near −15 mV/°C - typical for ~20 V Zeners - enabling predictable thermal compensation in reference designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.2–21.1 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection or reference generation |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 60 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW max at Ta = 25°C - sets thermal design limit for PCB trace width and copper area |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 1 µA max at VR = 15 V - guarantees low standby leakage in battery-powered monitoring circuits |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C max - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with appropriate derating |
| Storage Temperature | −55°C to +175°C - supports use in automotive under-hood or industrial outdoor enclosures |
Pinout & Package
The HZS20-1TD-E is housed in the MHD (Miniature Hermetic Diode) package - a radial leaded, glass-encapsulated, 2.0 mm diameter × 26 mm length axial package with lake-blue cathode band marking and 5 mm pitch compatibility for automated insertion.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal of reverse-biased junction | Connected to regulated positive rail; polarity-sensitive for correct clamping orientation |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal of reverse-biased junction | Typically tied to ground or lower potential node; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 60 Ω max enables stable regulation under varying load currents without external buffering |
| Wide zener voltage spectrum | 20.2–21.1 V range supports accurate mid-range voltage references in 24 V system rails |
| High reliability planar construction | Si planar junction ensures repeatable breakdown characteristics and long-term parameter stability |
| Automated insertion compatibility | 5 mm pitch and standardized MHD dimensions allow direct integration into high-volume SMT/reflow-compatible assembly lines |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Biasing | Low-Power Reference Supply |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive voltage clamp regulating supply to precision analog front-end ICs during battery discharge cycles. Use Value: Maintains reference accuracy within 1% over −40°C to +85°C ambient due to predictable temperature coefficient and low rd. |
| Overvoltage Clamp Protection | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V I/O pins of PLC modules against transient surges from inductive load switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt limiter diverting surge energy to ground when line voltage exceeds 21.1 V.

Use Scenario: Holding microcontroller reset pin low until 20 V rail stabilizes during power-up in embedded motor controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Threshold detector using zener conduction to enable reset release only after regulated voltage reaches specification. Use Value: Enables deterministic reset timing with <1 µA leakage below 15 V, preventing premature MCU wake-up during brown-out conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4744A (ON Semiconductor) | 20 V nominal, 5% tolerance (19–21 V), 22 Ω rd, DO-41 package | Lower impedance but wider tolerance; requires manual placement or different feeder setup | Preferred where tighter dynamic regulation is critical and through-hole assembly is acceptable |
| BZX84-C20 (Diodes Inc.) | 20 V nominal, 5% tolerance, 50 Ω rd, SOT-23 package | SMT-only, smaller footprint, lower Pd (300 mW), higher thermal resistance | Selected for space-constrained PCBs where 200 mW continuous dissipation suffices |
Compared with 1N4744A and BZX84-C20, the HZS20-1TD-E offers tighter voltage grading (±0.45 V vs. ±1 V), higher power rating (400 mW), and MHD package compatibility with legacy 5 mm-pitch insertion equipment - making it optimal for industrial control systems requiring field-proven reliability and automated manufacturing alignment.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZS20-1TD-E?
The HZS20-1TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 20.2 V to 21.1 V when tested at IZ = 2 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.9 V span reflects its "-2" grade designation within the HZS20 family and ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision analog circuits without requiring post-manufacturing sorting.
Is HZS20-1TD-E compatible with automated 5 mm-pitch insertion equipment?
Yes, the HZS20-1TD-E uses the MHD package with standardized 5 mm lead pitch and lake-blue cathode band marking, explicitly designed for compatibility with high-speed automatic insertion machines. Its 26 mm body length and 2.0 mm diameter meet GRZZ0002ZC-A mechanical specifications for reliable feed and placement.
What is the maximum power dissipation of HZS20-1TD-E and how does it derate with temperature?
HZS20-1TD-E has a maximum power dissipation of 400 mW at 25°C ambient. Derating follows a linear slope of approximately 3.2 mW/°C above 25°C, reaching zero dissipation at ~150°C ambient - consistent with its 200°C junction limit and thermal resistance profile shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Does HZS20-1TD-E have a specified temperature coefficient, and what is its impact on circuit design?
While not individually specified per unit, the HZS20 series exhibits a typical zener voltage temperature coefficient of −15 mV/°C (or ~−0.075%/°C) near 20 V, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. Designers should account for this negative drift in wide-temperature applications by including compensating components or selecting complementary reference topologies.
Can HZS20-1TD-E be used in safety-critical medical or aerospace systems?
No. Per Renesas documentation, the HZS20-1TD-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device intended for industrial, office, and consumer equipment - not for life-support, aerospace, nuclear, or other "Specific" applications. Its qualification excludes radiation hardening, extended reliability testing, or safety certification required for such domains.
