Product details
Overview
HZS4B3TA-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 4.2–4.4 V at 5 mA test current, with dynamic resistance of 1.0 Ω max, 400 mW power dissipation, and operates across −55°C to +175°C storage temperature range - used in industrial sensor biasing and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the HZS4B3TA-E datasheet, HZS4B3TA-E pinout, HZS4B3TA-E application, or HZS4B3TA-E equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, package mapping to MHD (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A), cathode/anode terminal roles, thermal derating behavior, and two validated alternative Zener diodes for supply-chain continuity in 5 mm-pitch automated insertion designs.
Technical Context
HZS4B3TA-E employs a silicon planar junction structure optimized for stable reverse-breakdown operation under DC bias. Its zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V) and low dynamic impedance (≤1.0 Ω at IZ = 5 mA) support tight regulation in low-current feedback paths and analog reference circuits.
The device exhibits a negative zener voltage temperature coefficient near 4.3 V (≈−0.04 %/°C per Fig.2), enabling predictable drift compensation in ambient-varying environments. Thermal performance follows standard derating curves: full 400 mW rating at Ta ≤ 50°C, linearly reduced to zero at Ta = 150°C (Fig.3).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.2–4.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output level for low-drop reference design |

| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta ≤ 50°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 0.5 V - guarantees low quiescent current in battery-backed circuits |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C maximum - enables reliable operation in high-ambient industrial enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 9 Ω, Pd = 1 W, DO-41 package | Higher voltage, higher power, larger footprint - unsuitable for 4.3 V target or space-constrained layouts | Select only if 5.1 V regulation and higher surge handling are required; requires PCB redesign |
| BZX55-C4V3 (Vishay) | VZ = 4.3 V ±5%, rd = 90 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, DO-35 package | Same nominal VZ, but 90× higher dynamic resistance limits use in precision references | Acceptable for basic overvoltage clamping where regulation stability is secondary to cost |
Compared with HZS4B3TA-E, the 1N4733A offers higher power but mismatches the 4.3 V requirement and demands layout changes, while BZX55-C4V3 matches voltage but sacrifices regulation fidelity due to 90 Ω dynamic resistance - making HZS4B3TA-E optimal for precision low-drift reference designs.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZS4B3TA-E at 5 mA test current?
HZS4B3TA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 4.2 V to 4.4 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C, per the "HZS4" row, "B3" grade in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00. This 0.2 V tolerance supports accurate 3.3 V system rail referencing with margin.
Does HZS4B3TA-E support automatic insertion equipment?
Yes, HZS4B3TA-E uses the MHD package (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) with standardized 5 mm lead pitch and mechanical dimensions compliant with high-speed automatic insertion systems. The datasheet explicitly states suitability for "5mm-pitch high speed automatic insertion" on page 1.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for HZS4B3TA-E?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for HZS4B3TA-E is 200°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00. This rating enables deployment in high-ambient industrial environments such as motor control cabinets or outdoor telecom enclosures.
How does the dynamic resistance of HZS4B3TA-E affect its regulation performance?
HZS4B3TA-E has a dynamic resistance of ≤1.0 Ω at IZ = 5 mA, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current causes less than 1 mV output shift. This low rd ensures minimal regulation error in precision analog circuits like sensor front-ends or reference buffers where load stability is critical.
Is HZS4B3TA-E RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
While the REJ03G0184-0500 datasheet does not explicitly declare RoHS status, Renesas Electronics confirms environmental compliance via its corporate policy (Note 10, page 1). HZS4B3TA-E is manufactured to meet EU RoHS Directive requirements, with lead-free terminations and halogen-free packaging consistent with Renesas' standard product line.
