Product details
Overview
HZS3B3TA-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power stabilized power supplies. It delivers a nominal zener voltage of 3.3 V (min 3.3 V, max 3.5 V) at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 5 Ω, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, and operates across −55°C to +175°C storage temperature range - used in voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the HZS3B3TA-E datasheet, HZS3B3TA-E pinout, HZS3B3TA-E application, or HZS3B3TA-E equivalent, this part serves as a surface-mount, 2-pin, low-leakage Zener solution optimized for 5 mm-pitch automated insertion and stable DC biasing in analog sensor interfaces, microcontroller reset circuits, and low-current reference shunts.
Technical Context
This device employs a silicon planar junction structure with controlled doping to achieve tight zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V at 3.3 V nominal) and low temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical). Its low dynamic impedance (5 Ω) ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients.
Rated for 400 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient and derated linearly above 25°C, the HZS3B3TA-E maintains stable regulation down to 0.5 µA reverse leakage at VR = 1 V, supporting energy-efficient standby-mode operation in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.3 V min / 3.5 V max at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 3.3 V rail stabilization |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 5 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures <16.5 mV output shift per 3.3 mA load change |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 0.5 V - enables low-quiescent-current bias networks in sensor front-ends |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C max - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with thermal margin |
| Package Type | MHD (Mini-High-Density) - 2-pin, axial-lead-compatible SMD package with 5 mm pitch compatibility |
Pinout & Package
The HZS3B3TA-E uses the MHD package: a miniature, epoxy-molded, axial-lead–style surface-mount diode with cathode band marking and 2.0 mm diameter body (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener voltage reference node | Connected to regulated output or voltage divider top; carries full zener current during regulation |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Connected to circuit common; completes bias path and sets zener polarity orientation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C3V3 (Nexperia) | Same 3.3 V nominal, but 90 Ω dynamic resistance and 300 mW Pd; SOT-23 package | Higher impedance limits use in precision references; better suited for general-purpose clamping | Select when board space is constrained and regulation accuracy <±5% is acceptable |
| MMBZ5226BS (ON Semiconductor) | 3.3 V nominal, 15 Ω rd, 225 mW Pd; dual-anode SOT-323 package | Lower power rating restricts continuous current to 15 mA vs. HZS3B3TA-E's 121 mA max | Choose for dual-diode configurations or where thermal mass is limited |
Compared with BZX84-C3V3 and MMBZ5226BS, the HZS3B3TA-E provides superior regulation fidelity (5 Ω vs. ≥15 Ω) and higher power handling (400 mW), making it preferred for stable reference generation in industrial analog signal chains where long-term drift and load sensitivity must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZS3B3TA-E at 5 mA test current?
The HZS3B3TA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 3.3 V minimum to 3.5 V maximum when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C, per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00. This 0.2 V tolerance supports tight regulation in 3.3 V system rails without additional trimming. The HZS3B3TA-E achieves this via planar junction process control and grade-B3 binning.
Does HZS3B3TA-E support automatic optical inspection (AOI) after reflow soldering?
Yes, the HZS3B3TA-E's MHD package features a distinct lake-blue cathode band and consistent 2.0 mm body diameter, enabling reliable AOI detection per IPC-A-610 Class 2 standards. Its low-profile geometry and uniform epoxy finish minimize reflectivity variance, allowing high-confidence pass/fail judgment in automated visual inspection systems used in contract manufacturing.
Can HZS3B3TA-E be used in place of a 3.3 V TL431 shunt regulator?
No - the HZS3B3TA-E is a two-terminal passive Zener diode, whereas the TL431 is a three-terminal active shunt regulator with adjustable output and 0.5% initial accuracy. The HZS3B3TA-E lacks feedback capability and cannot replicate TL431's programmability or low-tempco performance. Use HZS3B3TA-E only for fixed-voltage clamping or simple reference roles where ±6% tolerance is acceptable.
What is the maximum continuous zener current for HZS3B3TA-E at 70°C ambient?
At Ta = 70°C, the HZS3B3TA-E's power derating curve reduces its usable dissipation to approximately 280 mW. With VZ ≈ 3.4 V (mid-range), the maximum continuous zener current is ~82 mA. This value is derived from the linear derating slope shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet and confirmed by Renesas' thermal resistance modeling for the MHD package.
Is HZS3B3TA-E compliant with RoHS and REACH requirements?
Yes, the HZS3B3TA-E meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed by Renesas' material declarations and manufacturing compliance records. The MHD package uses lead-free solderable terminations and halogen-free epoxy molding compound, with full substance disclosure available upon request through Aetrix Electronics' compliance portal.
