Product details
Overview
HZS4B3TD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and stabilization in low-power supply circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 4.2–4.4 V (Grade B3), 400 mW power dissipation, 1.0 Ω typical dynamic resistance at 5 mA, and operation up to 200°C junction temperature - used in precision reference and biasing applications within industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the HZS4B3TD-E datasheet, HZS4B3TD-E pinout, HZS4B3TD-E application, or HZS4B3TD-E equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-leakage voltage reference in space-constrained DC-DC feedback paths, analog sensor conditioning stages, and microcontroller reset circuitry where tight tolerance and thermal stability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with DC-tested characteristics, optimized for stabilized power supply functions requiring low zener impedance and minimal temperature drift. Its planar construction ensures consistent parametric performance across production lots and reliable long-term stability under continuous DC bias.
The device exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient near zero (±0.02 %/°C typical in the 4–5 V range), enabling stable reference generation without external compensation. It supports high-speed automatic insertion via 5 mm pitch compatibility and is rated for storage from −55°C to +175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.2–4.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback or reference use. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 1.0 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max at VR = 0.5 V - guarantees low standby current in always-on reference circuits. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C - enables operation in high-ambient industrial environments without derating. |
| Package Type | MHD (Mini-High-Density) - surface-mount compatible leadframe package with 2.0 mm diameter body and 26 mm lead length. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MHD (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), epoxy-molded, axial-lead miniature package with cathode band marking; dimensions: φD = 2.0 mm (nom), L = 26.0 mm (min), mass ≈ 0.084 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Breakdown voltage reference node | Connected to regulated output or feedback point; polarity must be observed to maintain reverse-bias operation. |
| 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return path | Completes current loop during regulation; tied to system ground or lower-potential rail in shunt configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 1.0 Ω max enables tight regulation under varying load conditions in feedback networks. |
| Wide zener voltage range coverage | 4.2–4.4 V Grade B3 variant supports precise matching to common 3.3 V/5 V system rails. |

| Automated assembly compatibility | 5 mm pitch design supports high-throughput placement in automated PCB assembly lines. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Reset Circuit | ADC Reference Stabilization |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Provides stable threshold voltage for RC-based reset generators in embedded microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference defining logic-high reset release level. Use Value: Ensures deterministic reset timing across temperature (−55°C to +125°C ambient) due to low tempco and 400 mW power margin. |
Use Scenario: Supplies clean, low-noise reference voltage to 12-bit analog-to-digital converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-impedance DC reference source replacing higher-cost IC references. Use Value: 1.0 Ω dynamic resistance minimizes code-width variation caused by supply ripple or load transients. |
| DC-DC Converter Feedback | Sensor Biasing Network |
|
Use Scenario: Sets output voltage in isolated flyback or buck converter secondary-side feedback loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt element in optocoupler-coupled error amplifier path. Use Value: Tight 4.2–4.4 V tolerance reduces need for post-production trimming; 400 mW rating accommodates transient overloads. |
Use Scenario: Establishes fixed bias point for bridge-type pressure or temperature sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable excitation voltage source independent of main supply fluctuations. Use Value: Low leakage (<5 µA) prevents loading errors in high-impedance Wheatstone bridge arms. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A (ON Semiconductor) | 5.1 V nominal, 1.0 W power rating, DO-41 package, 17 Ω rd | Higher power and voltage; less suitable for 4.3 V precision feedback | Select only if 5.1 V regulation and higher dissipation are required; not a direct replacement. |
| BZX55-C4V3 (Vishay) | 4.3 V nominal, 500 mW, DO-35 package, 90 Ω rd at 5 mA | Higher dynamic resistance limits accuracy in precision references | Acceptable for general-purpose clamping but inferior regulation stability vs. HZS4B3TD-E. |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55-C4V3, the HZS4B3TD-E delivers superior regulation accuracy (1.0 Ω rd vs. ≥17 Ω), tighter voltage tolerance (±0.1 V vs. ±5%), and optimized thermal robustness (200°C Tj) - making it preferred for industrial-grade feedback and reference designs demanding long-term stability.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS4B3TD-E?
The HZS4B3TD-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. This Grade B3 tolerance (±0.1 V) ensures predictable regulation behavior in feedback and reference applications without calibration. The value is confirmed in Renesas document REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00, Page 2.
Does HZS4B3TD-E support surface-mount assembly?
No - HZS4B3TD-E uses the MHD axial-lead package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A) with 26 mm leads intended for through-hole mounting or manual/automated axial insertion. It is not a surface-mount device; its 5 mm pitch compatibility applies to high-speed automatic through-hole placement, not reflow soldering.
What is the maximum allowable reverse current before breakdown for HZS4B3TD-E?
The HZS4B3TD-E specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 5 µA at VR = 0.5 V and Ta = 25°C. This low leakage ensures minimal parasitic loading in high-impedance reference nodes. The parameter is measured per Renesas REJ03G0184-0500, Page 2, under "Electrical Characteristics".
Can HZS4B3TD-E be used in automotive applications?
HZS4B3TD-E is classified as a "Standard" quality grade device per Renesas documentation and is intended for computers, office equipment, industrial robots, and test equipment - not automotive or safety-critical systems. For automotive use, Renesas requires explicit written consent and qualification per their quality grading policy (REJ03G0184-0500, Page 1).
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for HZS4B3TD-E?
The datasheet does not specify a numerical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for HZS4B3TD-E. Instead, Renesas provides the derating curve in Figure 3 (Page 5): power dissipation linearly decreases from 400 mW at 25°C ambient to 0 mW at ~150°C ambient. Designers must apply this curve directly for thermal design rather than using RθJA.
