Product details
Overview
HZS36-2TA-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in stabilized power supplies, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 36.4–38.0 V at 2 mA test current, 400 mW maximum power dissipation, and low dynamic resistance of 140 Ω, commonly deployed in industrial power rail clamping and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZS36-2TA-E datasheet, HZS36-2TA-E pinout, HZS36-2TA-E application, or HZS36-2TA-E equivalent, this device serves as a discrete voltage reference with tight tolerance (±5% grade), low leakage, and thermal stability suitable for mid-voltage analog monitoring, overvoltage protection, and feedback loop referencing in DC-DC converters and linear regulators.
Technical Context
The HZS36-2TA-E operates as a two-terminal, reverse-biased semiconductor junction optimized for stable breakdown behavior under controlled DC current. Its zener voltage exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~+0.07 %/°C at 36 V), enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references.
It uses a silicon planar construction with glass-passivated junctions, rated for junction temperatures up to 200°C and storage from −55°C to +175°C. The device is characterized at 2 mA zener test current, with reverse current limited to ≤1 µA at VR = 29.2 V, ensuring minimal standby power loss.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4738A (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 22.0–24.2 V, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Higher power but lower voltage; unsuitable for 36 V clamping without series stacking | Select only if higher power handling and lower voltage are required; not a direct functional substitute |
| BZX84-C36 (Diodes Inc.) | Zener voltage 34.2–37.8 V, Pd = 300 mW, SOT-23 package | Smaller footprint and lower power; tighter voltage tolerance but reduced thermal margin | Prefer for space-constrained PCBs where 300 mW suffices and reflow compatibility is critical |
Compared with 1N4738A and BZX84-C36, the HZS36-2TA-E delivers optimal balance of 36 V regulation accuracy, 400 mW dissipation headroom, and industrial-grade thermal robustness in an MHD package suited for automated manufacturing-making it uniquely appropriate for ruggedized 36 V power monitoring and clamping tasks.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS36-2TA-E?
The HZS36-2TA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 36.4 V to 38.0 V when tested at IZ = 2 mA and Ta = 25°C, corresponding to the "-2" grade within the HZS36 family per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00. This tolerance reflects ±5% deviation around the nominal 36 V rating, and the device maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does HZS36-2TA-E support surface-mount assembly or require through-hole mounting?
HZS36-2TA-E uses the MHD (Mini-High-Density) package, which is a radial-leaded, epoxy-molded form factor designed for high-speed automatic insertion on 5 mm pitch PCBs. While not a surface-mount device like SOT-23, it is fully compatible with wave soldering and selective reflow processes used in modern mixed-technology assembly lines-Renesas explicitly confirms suitability for 5 mm-pitch high-speed automatic insertion in the official datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before breakdown for HZS36-2TA-E?
Per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 4 of the Renesas datasheet, the HZS36-2TA-E guarantees reverse current IR ≤ 1 µA when reverse voltage VR = 29.2 V at Ta = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and high impedance in pre-breakdown states, critical for precision reference and high-impedance sensing applications where bias current must be tightly controlled.
Can HZS36-2TA-E be used in automotive applications?
The HZS36-2TA-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' product grading system (Section 7 of the datasheet), intended for industrial, office, and communications equipment-not automotive or safety-critical systems. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification and is not recommended for under-hood or chassis-control applications without additional validation and formal written consent from Renesas Electronics.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZS36-2TA-E affect its performance in wide-temperature environments?
The HZS36-2TA-E exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately +0.07 %/°C (or ~+25 mV/°C) near 36 V, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. This means its regulated voltage increases linearly with ambient temperature-designers must account for this drift in closed-loop feedback or precision measurement circuits, especially over −40°C to +125°C industrial ranges, where total shift may exceed ±500 mV.
