Product details
Overview
HZS4C3TD-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 at 5 mA, 400 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of ≤100 Ω - deployed in industrial control power rails and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZS4C3TD-E datasheet, HZS4C3TD-E pinout, HZS4C3TD-E application, or HZS4C3TD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V), low leakage current (≤25 µA at 0.5 V), thermal stability (−55 to +175 °C storage), and MHD package compatibility with 5 mm-pitch automated insertion.
Technical Context
The HZS4C3TD-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across variable load and input conditions via controlled reverse-biased breakdown. Its planar junction construction ensures consistent zener impedance and low temperature coefficient drift.
Rated for 400 mW DC power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, it exhibits a junction temperature limit of 200 °C and supports operation up to 175 °C storage - enabling use in thermally constrained PCB layouts without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.2–4.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage range under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous thermal load before derating applies |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation sensitivity to load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤25 µA at VR = 0.5 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or low-voltage bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200 °C maximum - enables reliable operation in high-ambient industrial environments |
| Storage Temperature | −55 to +175 °C - supports extended deployment in automotive under-hood or outdoor equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C4V3 (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 4.3 V ±5%, Pd = 500 mW, rd = 90 Ω - wider voltage tolerance, higher power rating | Preferred where board-level thermal margin exceeds 100 mW and tighter production binning is not required | Select when cost-driven volume production favors industry-standard JEDEC DO-35 packages over MHD |
| MMSZ4V3 (Vishay) | VZ = 4.3 V ±5%, Pd = 350 mW, rd = 120 Ω - lower power rating, SOD-123 surface-mount package | Suitable for space-constrained designs where through-hole insertion is not available | Choose for compact PCBs requiring reflow-compatible packaging and acceptable trade-off in thermal headroom |
Compared with BZX55-C4V3 and MMSZ4V3, the HZS4C3TD-E offers tighter zener voltage tolerance (±0.2 V vs. ±5%), lower dynamic resistance, and MHD packaging optimized for automated through-hole assembly - making it optimal for high-reliability industrial power monitoring where regulation precision and process compatibility are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS4C3TD-E?
The HZS4C3TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 4.2 V to 4.4 V when tested at 5 mA DC current, per Renesas datasheet REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00. This ±0.2 V tolerance is tighter than standard 5% Zener diodes and supports precision biasing in HZS4C3TD-E applications such as sensor references and reset thresholds.
Does HZS4C3TD-E support automatic insertion during manufacturing?
Yes, the HZS4C3TD-E uses the MHD package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A) with 5 mm lead pitch and standardized dimensions, explicitly qualified for high-speed automatic insertion per the datasheet. Its 2.0 mm body diameter and 26 mm lead length ensure compatibility with standard axial component feeders and placement nozzles used in industrial PCB assembly lines handling HZS4C3TD-E.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for HZS4C3TD-E?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for HZS4C3TD-E is 200 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Renesas datasheet. This rating permits operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial enclosures or near heat-generating components, provided thermal design maintains actual Tj below this limit - critical for long-term reliability of HZS4C3TD-E in continuous-use applications.
How does the dynamic resistance of HZS4C3TD-E affect regulation performance?
The HZS4C3TD-E exhibits dynamic resistance ≤100 Ω at 5 mA, meaning its output voltage varies by ≤0.5 V for every 5 mA change in zener current. This low rd value directly improves load regulation accuracy in HZS4C3TD-E implementations, especially in low-current bias networks where even small current shifts would otherwise cause unacceptable voltage drift.
Is HZS4C3TD-E RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, HZS4C3TD-E complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements, as confirmed by Renesas' environmental compliance documentation. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and meets halogen-free standards per IEC 61249-2-21 - ensuring safe processing and end-of-life handling for HZS4C3TD-E in global electronics manufacturing.
