Product details
Overview
HZS33-3LTA-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage regulation in precision analog and stabilized power supply circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 33.2–34.6 V at 0.5 mA test current, 250 Ω dynamic impedance, and 400 mW power dissipation rating.
For engineers reviewing the HZS33-3LTA-E datasheet, HZS33-3LTA-E pinout, HZS33-3LTA-E application, or HZS33-3LTA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±2.1% at 33.9 V nominal), low noise performance (~1/3–1/10 of HZ series), thermal coefficient behavior near zero crossing (~0.02%/°C at 33 V), and suitability for high-speed automatic insertion on 5 mm-pitch PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with DC-tested zener breakdown characteristics, specified under 0.5 mA zener current and 1 V reverse bias for leakage measurement. Its low dynamic resistance (250 Ω max) supports stable regulation under moderate load transients, while junction temperature rating up to 200°C enables operation in thermally demanding environments.
The HZS33-3LTA-E belongs to the HZS-L Series featuring planar diffusion construction, black cathode band marking, and MHD package (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A). It exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero (~0.02%/°C) at its operating point, minimizing drift across ambient temperature ranges from −55°C to +175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 33.2–34.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for feedback loops in linear regulators or reference stages. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤250 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under small-signal load changes. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating applies. |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 27 V - guarantees negligible parasitic current draw in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Zener Voltage Temp. Coeff. | ~0.02%/°C at 33 V - indicates near-zero drift region ideal for stable references over industrial temperature range. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C maximum - allows reliable operation in enclosed or high-ambient thermal environments without forced cooling. |
| Package | MHD (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) - standardized 2-pin axial lead package with 5 mm pitch compatibility for automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
The HZS33-3LTA-E is housed in an MHD axial-lead package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), with 2.0 mm body diameter, 26.0 mm overall length, and 0.4 mm lead diameter. Cathode identified by black band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased to maintain fixed voltage drop across load. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference return path | Typically tied to circuit ground or common return; completes current path during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise zener operation | Noise level ~1/3–1/10 that of legacy HZ series - critical for audio preamps, sensor signal conditioning, and metrology references. |
| Stable voltage regulation | ±2.1% VZ tolerance at 33.9 V nominal - enables tight-set reference points without post-calibration trimming. |
| High thermal resilience | Rated to 200°C junction temperature - supports use in engine control units, industrial motor drives, and sealed power modules. |
| Automated assembly compatibility | 5 mm pitch axial leads per JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A - ensures reliable placement and soldering in high-volume SMT-compatible through-hole lines. |
| Low leakage performance | ≤1 μA at 27 V reverse bias - preserves accuracy in high-impedance divider networks and battery-backed circuits. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Reference | Audio Equipment Voltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Precision ±1% output regulation in isolated DC-DC converter feedback paths requiring long-term stability and low drift. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing error amplifier input for optocoupler-coupled secondary-side regulation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX85C33 (Nexperia) | 33 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 1.3 W Pd, 35 Ω rd, DO-41 package | Higher power and lower impedance but wider VZ tolerance; suited for less precision-critical regulation | Select when higher surge capability and tighter dynamic impedance outweigh need for low-noise and tight VZ spec. |
| 1N5257B (ON Semiconductor) | 33 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW Pd, 35 Ω rd, DO-35 package | Lower noise than BZX85 but still higher than HZS-L; lacks documented low-noise optimization and MHD mechanical specs | Choose where DO-35 footprint is required and moderate noise performance suffices, but not for metrology-grade designs. |
Compared with BZX85C33 and 1N5257B, the HZS33-3LTA-E delivers superior voltage accuracy (±2.1% vs. ±5%), industry-leading low-noise performance, and JEITA-standardized MHD packaging for automated insertion-making it optimal for precision analog references where stability, noise floor, and manufacturing repeatability are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZS33-3LTA-E?
The HZS33-3LTA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 33.2 V to 34.6 V when tested at IZ = 0.5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This corresponds to a nominal value of 33.9 V with ±2.1% tolerance, confirmed in Renesas' REJ03G0166-0300 datasheet revision 3.00.
Does HZS33-3LTA-E support high-temperature operation?
Yes, HZS33-3LTA-E is rated for junction temperatures up to 200°C and storage temperatures from −55°C to +175°C. Its planar silicon construction and MHD package enable reliable operation in engine compartments, industrial motor controls, and sealed power converters where thermal management is constrained.
Is HZS33-3LTA-E suitable for low-noise audio applications?
Yes, the HZS33-3LTA-E is explicitly engineered for low-noise use: its noise level is approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of the legacy HZ series. This makes HZS33-3LTA-E appropriate for clamping, biasing, and reference functions in microphone preamplifiers, analog synthesizers, and high-fidelity ADC/DAC power rails.
What package type does HZS33-3LTA-E use, and is it compatible with automated assembly?
HZS33-3LTA-E uses the MHD axial-lead package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), with standardized 5 mm lead pitch. It is explicitly qualified for high-speed automatic insertion, as noted in the "Ordering Information" section of the Renesas datasheet, supporting efficient through-hole manufacturing.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZS33-3LTA-E compare to other 33 V Zeners?
HZS33-3LTA-E exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately +0.02%/°C near its 33.9 V operating point - significantly lower than typical ±0.05%/°C to ±0.1%/°C for general-purpose 33 V Zeners. This near-zero drift behavior is documented in Figure 2 of the REJ03G0166-0300 datasheet and enhances long-term stability in unregulated thermal environments.
