Product details
Overview
HZS4C1TA-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 4.2–4.4 V, 400 mW power dissipation, and low dynamic impedance of ≤100 Ω at 5 mA test current - deployed in industrial control power rails and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZS4C1TA-E datasheet, HZS4C1TA-E pinout, HZS4C1TA-E application, or HZS4C1TA-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V), temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C typical), cathode-anode polarity marking, MHD package compatibility with 5 mm-pitch auto-insertion, and compliance with Standard-grade reliability for office and industrial equipment.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across variable load and input conditions via controlled reverse-bias breakdown. Its planar junction construction ensures consistent zener voltage distribution and low leakage current (<25 µA at 0.5 V).
The HZS4C1TA-E exhibits a negative temperature coefficient (−0.04 %/°C) typical for its 4.3 V nominal range, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. It is rated for junction temperatures up to 200°C and storage from −55°C to +175°C, supporting operation in thermally demanding embedded environments.
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 3.3 V or 5 V rail clamping and reference generation. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW maximum - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤25 µA at VR = 0.5 V - enables low-quiescent-current designs in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C maximum - allows reliable operation adjacent to heat-generating components like power MOSFETs or LDOs. |
| Package Type | MHD (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) - 2-pin axial leaded package with 5 mm pitch, optimized for high-speed automated insertion. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Banded End) | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias terminal where zener breakdown occurs. |
| 2 (Non-banded End) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes current path during regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Zener Impedance | ≤100 Ω at 5 mA - minimizes output voltage deviation during load steps in feedback-sensing circuits. |
| Wide Zener Voltage Range | 1.6–38 V family coverage - enables single-supplier sourcing across multiple voltage rails in multi-rail power systems. |
| High-Speed Insertion Compatibility | 5 mm pitch, MHD package - supports automated assembly in high-volume industrial controller manufacturing. |

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) | 5.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 1.0 W Pd, DO-41 package | Higher power, looser voltage tolerance, larger footprint - suited for general-purpose 5 V clamping, not precision 4.3 V references. | Select when higher surge capability is needed and tighter VZ tolerance is not required. |
| BZX55-C4V3 (Vishay) | 4.3 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW Pd, DO-35 package | Same nominal voltage but wider tolerance (±5% vs. ±0.2 V), higher rd (≤150 Ω), different lead spacing (2.5 mm vs. 5 mm) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where auto-insertion pitch and tight regulation are secondary. |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55-C4V3, the HZS4C1TA-E offers superior voltage precision (±0.2 V), lower dynamic impedance, and MHD packaging optimized for industrial SMT-compatible through-hole assembly - making it preferred for space-constrained, thermally stable, and metrology-grade power monitoring designs.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS4C1TA-E?
The HZS4C1TA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 4.2 V to 4.4 V at a test current of 5 mA, corresponding to Grade C3 within the HZS4 family. This tight ±0.1 V tolerance enables accurate voltage clamping in precision analog circuits where standard 5% Zeners would introduce unacceptable error margins. The specification is verified per REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00.
Does HZS4C1TA-E support automatic insertion in high-volume manufacturing?
Yes, the HZS4C1TA-E uses the MHD package (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) with standardized 5 mm lead pitch and axial geometry, explicitly qualified for high-speed automatic insertion equipment. Its lake-blue cathode band provides unambiguous polarity identification during placement, reducing misorientation defects in industrial controller PCB assembly lines.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation of HZS4C1TA-E?
The HZS4C1TA-E is rated for a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 200°C, allowing sustained operation in thermally dense environments such as near power converters or motor drivers. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 400 mW dissipation remains valid up to 70°C ambient, with linear reduction to zero at 150°C - critical for thermal design validation of HZS4C1TA-E in sealed enclosures.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZS4C1TA-E affect its performance in wide-temperature applications?
HZS4C1TA-E exhibits a typical zener voltage temperature coefficient of −0.04 %/°C, meaning its regulation point decreases by ~1.7 mV/°C around 4.3 V. This predictable negative drift allows system-level compensation in temperature-critical applications like precision sensor excitation, and is significantly more stable than generic Zeners with coefficients exceeding ±0.1 %/°C.
Is HZS4C1TA-E compliant with environmental regulations such as RoHS?
Yes, HZS4C1TA-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive and other applicable environmental regulations. Renesas confirms RoHS compliance for the entire HZS Series in official documentation (REJ03G0184-0500), and Aetrix Electronics sources only certified lots with full material declarations and traceable lot-level compliance records for HZS4C1TA-E.
