Product details
Overview
HZS6A1TA-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 6.3 V (min) to 6.6 V (max), 400 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of 2.0 Ω at 5 mA test current - deployed in industrial control logic rails and sensor biasing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the HZS6A1TA-E datasheet, HZS6A1TA-E pinout, HZS6A1TA-E application, or HZS6A1TA-E equivalent, this device serves as a discrete voltage reference in linear regulator feedback paths, overvoltage clamp networks, and analog signal conditioning stages where tight tolerance and low impedance are required.
Technical Context
The HZS6A1TA-E operates as a two-terminal, DC-biased voltage reference using silicon planar junction technology. Its zener breakdown mechanism delivers stable reverse conduction starting at 6.3–6.6 V with minimal temperature drift (γZ ≈ −0.02 %/°C near 6.5 V) and low leakage (<25 µA at 0.5 V below VZ).
It is rated for continuous operation up to 200°C junction temperature and supports automatic insertion via 5 mm pitch PCB layout. The device exhibits 2.0 Ω dynamic resistance at IZ = 5 mA, enabling fast transient response in regulation loops without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.3 V min to 6.6 V max at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 5 V–6 V rail monitoring and protection. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports sustained regulation in compact SMD layouts without forced cooling. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 2.0 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in feedback networks. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤25 µA at VR = 0.5 V below VZ - guarantees negligible quiescent current draw in high-impedance bias circuits. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C maximum - enables reliable operation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures and motor drive PCBs. |
| Package Type | MHD (Mini-High-Density) - surface-mount package with 2.0 mm diameter, 26.0 mm lead length, optimized for high-speed auto-insertion. |
Pinout & Package
MHD package: axial-lead, glass-passivated silicon planar diode with cathode band marking; leads tinned for solderability; mass ≈ 0.084 g; JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side reference node | Connected to regulated output or error amplifier inverter input; carries full zener current during regulation. |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side return path | Ground or common reference point; completes current loop and establishes VZ potential across terminals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 2.0 Ω at 5 mA enables <10 mV output shift under ±1 mA load step - critical for ADC reference stability. |
| Wide VZ grade range | A1 grade (6.3–6.6 V) provides tighter tolerance than standard B/C grades - reduces calibration overhead in production test. |
| High thermal robustness | 200°C max junction temperature allows use in proximity to power MOSFETs or transformers without derating. |
| Automated assembly compatibility | 5 mm pitch and MHD form factor support high-throughput placement on industrial control PCBs. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Biasing | Microcontroller Reset Clamping |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C6V2 (ON Semiconductor) | VZ = 6.2 V ±5%, Pd = 500 mW, rd = 10 Ω - higher impedance, wider tolerance. | Suitable for non-critical clamping; less stable under varying load currents than HZS6A1TA-E. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision and thermal margin requirements. |
| MMBZ5233B (Diodes Inc.) | VZ = 6.0 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, Pd = 350 mW - smaller footprint but lower power and looser grading. | Preferred for space-constrained portable designs; not rated for 200°C operation. | Choose only if board area is primary constraint and ambient temperature remains <105°C. |
Compared with BZX55C6V2 and MMBZ5233B, the HZS6A1TA-E offers superior voltage stability (A1-grade 6.3–6.6 V), lower dynamic impedance (2.0 Ω), and extended thermal capability (200°C), making it optimal for industrial-grade power supervision and precision analog circuits where long-term drift and thermal resilience matter.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS6A1TA-E?
The HZS6A1TA-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 6.3 V minimum to 6.6 V maximum at a test current of 5 mA, corresponding to the A1 grade within the HZS6 family. This tight tolerance supports precision regulation without post-production calibration and is confirmed in Renesas document REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00.
Does HZS6A1TA-E support surface-mount or through-hole assembly?
HZS6A1TA-E uses the MHD package - an axial-leaded, through-hole component with 5 mm pitch spacing, explicitly designed for high-speed automatic insertion. It is not a surface-mount device; its 26.0 mm lead length and 2.0 mm body diameter comply with GRZZ0002ZC-A JEITA specifications for wave soldering and pick-and-place feeders.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for HZS6A1TA-E?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for HZS6A1TA-E is 200°C, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Renesas datasheet. This rating permits operation in thermally demanding environments such as motor drive boards or enclosed industrial controllers without thermal derating below 400 mW at 25°C ambient.
How does the dynamic resistance of HZS6A1TA-E affect its performance in regulation circuits?
HZS6A1TA-E exhibits 2.0 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, meaning a 1 mA change in zener current results in only ~2 mV output shift. This low rd ensures minimal voltage variation under load transients - critical in feedback paths of adjustable regulators and reference buffers where stability and accuracy are design priorities.
Is HZS6A1TA-E compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, HZS6A1TA-E complies with the EU RoHS Directive and is halogen-free, consistent with Renesas Electronics' environmental policy outlined in their product documentation. The device contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and meets JEDEC JS709 requirements for bromine and chlorine content.
