Product details
Overview
HZS36-3TD-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, 27.0 Ω dynamic resistance, and −55 to +175 °C storage temperature range - deployed in industrial control power rails and analog sensor reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZS36-3TD-E datasheet, HZS36-3TD-E pinout, HZS36-3TD-E application, or HZS36-3TD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include verified zener voltage tolerance (±0.8 V), low leakage (<1 µA at VR = 0.5×VZ), thermal coefficient behavior (−0.06 %/°C typical), and MHD package compatibility with 5 mm-pitch automated insertion.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage by conducting reverse current above its specified breakdown threshold. Its planar junction construction ensures consistent zener impedance and low temperature drift across ambient conditions.
Rated for 400 mW power dissipation at 25 °C with derating to zero at 150 °C, it supports operation up to 200 °C junction temperature and exhibits <100 µA reverse leakage at 0.5×VZ - enabling reliable performance in compact, thermally constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 36.4–38.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation point for mid-range DC supply stabilization |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 27.0 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - determines load regulation sensitivity and ripple rejection capability |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <1 µA at VR = 18.2 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200 °C max - allows operation in elevated-temperature industrial environments without derating penalty |
| Storage Temperature | −55 to +175 °C - supports long-term reliability in automotive under-hood and factory automation storage |
Pinout & Package
The HZS36-3TD-E is housed in the MHD package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), a radial-leaded, epoxy-molded, 2-pin through-hole device with cathode band marking and 5 mm lead pitch - optimized for high-speed automatic insertion and wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side reference node | Connected to regulated output rail; carries full zener current during regulation |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side return path | Connected to ground or common reference; completes current loop for voltage clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 27.0 Ω max enables tight voltage regulation under varying load currents |
| Wide VZ spectrum | 1.6–38 V family coverage allows single-source design reuse across multiple supply rails |
| Automated insertion compatibility | 5 mm pitch and MHD mechanical profile support high-throughput PCB assembly |
| Stable temperature coefficient | −0.06 %/°C typical minimizes drift over industrial temperature ranges (−40 to +85 °C) |
Applications
| Industrial Power Monitoring | Analog Sensor Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4738A (ON Semiconductor) | 39 V nominal VZ, 1 W Pd, DO-41 package, ±5 % tolerance | Higher power and looser tolerance; suited for non-critical 39 V clamping | Select when higher surge energy handling is required and ±0.8 V tolerance is not mandatory |
| BZX55-C36 (Vishay) | 36 V nominal VZ, 500 mW Pd, DO-35 package, ±5 % tolerance | Same nominal voltage but wider tolerance and different package footprint | Choose for legacy DO-35 board compatibility where MHD insertion is unavailable |
Compared with HZS36-3TD-E, the 1N4738A offers greater power margin but sacrifices precision and thermal stability, while the BZX55-C36 matches nominal voltage but lacks the tight ±0.8 V tolerance and −0.06 %/°C coefficient critical for industrial measurement-grade references.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZS36-3TD-E?
The HZS36-3TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 36.4 V to 38.0 V when tested at 2 mA reverse current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This ±0.8 V tolerance is tighter than standard Zener diodes and supports precision regulation in industrial power supplies where HZS36-3TD-E serves as the primary voltage reference node.
Does HZS36-3TD-E support automated PCB assembly?
Yes, HZS36-3TD-E uses the MHD package with 5 mm lead pitch and standardized radial lead geometry, making it compatible with high-speed automatic insertion equipment and wave soldering processes. Its mechanical dimensions and cathode band marking are fully aligned with GRZZ0002ZC-A JEITA specifications - a key reason HZS36-3TD-E is selected for volume industrial manufacturing.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for HZS36-3TD-E?
HZS36-3TD-E is rated for a maximum junction temperature of 200 °C, significantly exceeding typical commercial-grade Zener diodes. This allows sustained operation in thermally demanding environments such as motor drive control boards or enclosed power supplies where HZS36-3TD-E maintains regulation integrity without thermal shutdown or parameter shift.
How does the dynamic resistance of HZS36-3TD-E affect regulation performance?
HZS36-3TD-E specifies a maximum dynamic resistance of 27.0 Ω at 2 mA test current, directly determining how much output voltage shifts under load variation. Lower rd means superior line and load regulation - critical when HZS36-3TD-E is used in analog sensor references or feedback networks where even 10 mV drift degrades system accuracy.
Is HZS36-3TD-E RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, HZS36-3TD-E conforms to EU RoHS Directive requirements and is manufactured as a lead-free device. Renesas confirms environmental compliance per REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00 documentation, and HZS36-3TD-E carries no exemptions - supporting clean manufacturing and end-of-life compliance for global industrial electronics using HZS36-3TD-E.
