Product details
Overview
HZS3C3TD-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 3.3 V (min 3.3 V, max 3.5 V), 400 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of 5 Ω at 5 mA test current. It features low leakage current, low zener impedance, and is optimized for 5 mm-pitch high-speed automatic insertion in consumer and industrial PCB assembly.
For engineers reviewing the HZS3C3TD-E datasheet, HZS3C3TD-E pinout, HZS3C3TD-E application, or HZS3C3TD-E equivalent, this device serves as a compact, cost-effective voltage reference in linear regulators, overvoltage protection circuits, and biasing networks where ±3% voltage tolerance and thermal stability down to −55°C are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with DC-tested characteristics, exhibiting a zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero (≈0.02 %/°C) at 3.3 V, enabling stable reference performance across ambient temperatures from −55°C to +175°C. Its junction temperature rating of 200°C supports operation in thermally constrained environments.
The device uses a silicon planar construction with a lake-blue cathode band marking, housed in the MHD package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), and is rated for 5 µA maximum reverse current at 0.5 V below VZ, ensuring tight regulation under light-load conditions.
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 |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW - enables continuous regulation without heatsinking in SMT-compatible layouts |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 5 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 0.5 V below VZ - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on reference circuits |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C - supports reliable operation in high-temperature industrial enclosures or near power components |
| Storage Temperature | −55°C to +175°C - compatible with extended-range reflow profiles and harsh environmental storage |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 5 Ω at 5 mA - minimizes AC ripple coupling into regulated nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C3V3 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 3.3 V nominal VZ, but 500 mW Pd and 10 Ω rd; DO-35 package, not MHD | Higher power margin but larger footprint; less suitable for high-density 5 mm-pitch insertion | Select when board space permits larger DO-35 and higher surge energy absorption is needed |
| MMSZ4685 (Diodes Inc.) | SOD-123 package, 3.3 V VZ, 300 mW Pd, 10 Ω rd; surface-mount only, no axial leads | Requires rework of pick-and-place program and footprint; incompatible with through-hole auto-insertion | Choose only for fully SMT designs where board real estate is constrained and leaded assembly is excluded |
Compared with BZX55C3V3 and MMSZ4685, the HZS3C3TD-E offers optimal balance of axial-leaded manufacturability, 400 mW robustness, and 5 Ω regulation fidelity-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial power-supply trimming where legacy insertion equipment remains in use.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS3C3TD-E?
The HZS3C3TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 3.3 V minimum to 3.5 V maximum when tested at 5 mA zener current (IZ) and 25°C ambient temperature. This 3.3 V nominal grade falls within the HZS3 series C3 classification, and the tolerance band is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Renesas document REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00.
Is HZS3C3TD-E suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, the HZS3C3TD-E uses the MHD axial-leaded package (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) with 26 mm body length and 2.0 mm diameter, designed explicitly for through-hole mounting and 5 mm-pitch high-speed automatic insertion. It is not compatible with reflow soldering or pick-and-place SMT processes. For SMT alternatives, consider Renesas' MZ series or third-party SOD-123 equivalents.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for HZS3C3TD-E?
The HZS3C3TD-E specifies a maximum reverse current (IR) of 5 µA when measured at a reverse voltage (VR) of 0.5 V below its nominal zener voltage - i.e., at ≤2.8 V. This parameter is defined in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reverse Current" for the HZS3 C3 grade and ensures minimal quiescent power draw in reference applications.
Does HZS3C3TD-E have automotive qualification?
No, the HZS3C3TD-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas' quality grading system (page 1 of REJ03G0184-0500), intended for computers, office equipment, audiovisual gear, and industrial robots - not for automotive, medical, or aerospace use. It lacks AEC-Q200 stress testing and is not recommended for safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for HZS3C3TD-E?
Renesas does not publish a specific RθJA value for the HZS3C3TD-E in the provided datasheet. However, the device's 400 mW power dissipation rating and 200°C maximum junction temperature imply an effective RθJA of approximately 450°C/W under still-air conditions - derived from ΔT = P × RθJA. For thermal design, users must rely on PCB copper area, airflow, and mounting orientation to maintain Tj ≤ 200°C.
