Product details
Overview
HZS4C2TD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power stabilized power supplies, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 4.2 V to 4.4 V (Grade C2), 400 mW power dissipation, ≤100 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, and operation up to 200°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the HZS4C2TD-E datasheet, HZS4C2TD-E pinout, HZS4C2TD-E application, or HZS4C2TD-E equivalent, this device serves as a surface-mount-compatible, high-stability reference element in voltage-clamping, overvoltage protection, and biasing circuits where tight tolerance and low leakage are required.
Technical Context
The HZS4C2TD-E operates as a two-terminal, passive voltage-reference device relying on controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with ±0.2 V tolerance (C2 grade), and it exhibits low temperature coefficient (≈−0.04 %/°C) near 4.3 V, enabling stable regulation across industrial ambient ranges.
It uses a silicon planar construction with epoxy-molded MHD package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), cathode-band marked, and supports automated insertion at 5 mm pitch. The device is rated for 25 µA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 0.5 V and meets Renesas "Standard" quality grade for office, industrial, and consumer applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C4V3 (ON Semiconductor) | Same 4.3 V nominal, ±5% tolerance (vs. HZS4C2TD-E's ±0.2 V), 500 mW Pd, DO-35 package | Loose-tolerance general-purpose use; not suitable for precision biasing requiring <1% VZ stability | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs voltage accuracy and thermal drift requirements |
| MMSZ4V3 (Diodes Inc.) | SOD-123 surface-mount package, same 4.3 V nominal, ±5%, 350 mW Pd, higher rd (150 Ω) | Board space-constrained designs; lacks axial-leaded mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments | Prefer for dense consumer PCBs where reflow compatibility and footprint size dominate |
Compared with BZX55C4V3 and MMSZ4V3, the HZS4C2TD-E delivers tighter voltage tolerance, lower dynamic resistance, and superior thermal stability-making it optimal for industrial-grade analog signal chains where long-term calibration integrity matters.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for HZS4C2TD-E?
The HZS4C2TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 4.2 V to 4.4 V at test current IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to its C2 grade designation per Renesas REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00. This ±0.1 V tolerance around 4.3 V enables precise voltage referencing in analog circuits where tighter regulation than standard ±5% zeners is required. The HZS4C2TD-E specification is confirmed in the official datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table on page 2.
Does HZS4C2TD-E support automatic insertion in manufacturing?
Yes, the HZS4C2TD-E uses the MHD package (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) with 5 mm lead pitch and standardized axial geometry, explicitly qualified for high-speed automatic insertion per the "Suitable for 5mm-pitch high speed automatic insertion" feature statement in the Renesas datasheet. Its 2.0 mm body diameter and 26.0 mm length comply with industry-standard feeder tape and pick-and-place tooling for through-hole assembly lines.
What is the maximum power dissipation and derating behavior of HZS4C2TD-E?
The HZS4C2TD-E has a maximum power dissipation of 400 mW at Ta = 25°C, with linear derating above 25°C at 3.2 mW/°C as shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet. At 75°C ambient, usable power drops to approximately 240 mW. This derating curve ensures safe operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without heatsinking, provided board layout provides adequate copper area for heat spreading.
Is HZS4C2TD-E RoHS compliant and what is its quality grade?
Yes, HZS4C2TD-E conforms to EU RoHS Directive requirements as confirmed by Renesas' environmental compliance documentation. It carries the "Standard" quality grade per Renesas' classification system (Section 7 of REJ03G0184-0500), meaning it is approved for use in computers, office equipment, communications gear, industrial robots, and home appliances-but not for automotive, medical life-support, or aerospace applications without explicit written consent.
How does the temperature coefficient of HZS4C2TD-E affect long-term stability?
The HZS4C2TD-E exhibits a zener voltage temperature coefficient of approximately −0.04 %/°C near its 4.3 V operating point, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. This translates to ~−1.7 mV/°C drift, enabling predictable compensation in bias networks and ensuring <±10 mV total variation across −25°C to +85°C ambient-critical for maintaining ADC reference accuracy in unheated industrial deployments.
