Product details
Overview
HZS6A2LTD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for low-noise voltage reference and stabilization in precision analog circuits, featuring a nominal zener voltage of 5.45 V (min 5.3 V / max 5.6 V), 400 mW power dissipation, and dynamic resistance of 150 Ω at 0.5 mA test current - deployed in stabilized power supplies, sensor excitation, and ADC reference buffers.
For engineers reviewing the HZS6A2LTD-E datasheet, HZS6A2LTD-E pinout, HZS6A2LTD-E application, or HZS6A2LTD-E equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±0.15 V), low noise performance (≈1/3–1/10 of HZ series), junction temperature rating (200°C), and compatibility with 5 mm-pitch high-speed automatic insertion.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused silicon junction. Its low dynamic impedance (150 Ω) and tight zener voltage tolerance support stable regulation under varying load and temperature conditions. The diode exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near 5.5 V, typical for low-voltage Zeners.
Designed for DC-biased operation only (per datasheet note), it delivers consistent reverse-bias behavior with leakage current ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V. Its thermal design accommodates ambient temperatures up to 125°C before derating begins, per Fig.3's power dissipation vs. ambient curve.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.3 V to 5.6 V at IZ = 0.5 mA - ensures precise 5.45 V nominal reference with ±0.15 V tolerance for stable biasing. |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 150 Ω max at IZ = 0.5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients in reference circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW at Ta = 25°C - supports continuous operation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C maximum - enables reliable operation in high-temperature industrial environments. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤1 μA at VR = 2.0 V - reduces error contribution in high-impedance reference nodes. |
| Noise Performance | ≈1/3–1/10 lower than HZ series - critical for low-noise instrumentation amplifiers and precision ADC references. |
| Package | MHD (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) - standardized 2-pin axial lead package compatible with 5 mm-pitch automated insertion. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MHD (axial lead, JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), 2.0 mm diameter body, 26 mm overall length, 0.4 mm lead diameter, cathode band marked in black.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | High-side terminal, connected to positive supply/reference node | Accepts reverse bias; polarity marking essential for correct orientation in shunt regulator topologies. |
| 2 (Anode) | Low-side terminal, connected to ground or return path | Completes current path during zener conduction; must be routed with low-inductance grounding for noise control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise performance | Reduces broadband voltage noise in precision references by factor of 3–10 versus legacy HZ series. |
| Tight zener voltage tolerance | ±0.15 V window at 5.45 V enables direct replacement in 5 V reference designs without recalibration. |
| Low dynamic impedance | 150 Ω maintains <1 mV output shift per 0.1 mA load change - critical for high-resolution DAC/ADC buffers. |
| High thermal robustness | 200°C junction rating allows operation in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating components. |
| Automated assembly compatibility | MHD package supports 5 mm-pitch pick-and-place and wave soldering - reduces manufacturing cost in volume production. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4733A (ON Semiconductor) | Zener voltage 5.1 V ±5%, rd = 9 Ω, Pd = 1 W, higher noise than HZS6A2LTD-E | Higher power handling but wider VZ tolerance and no low-noise optimization | Select when higher power margin is required and noise is secondary to cost. |
| BZX55C5V1 (Vishay) | Zener voltage 5.1 V ±5%, rd ≈ 60 Ω, Pd = 500 mW, standard noise level | Larger VZ deviation and uncharacterized noise performance vs. HZS-L series | Choose for general-purpose regulation where ultra-low noise is not mandated. |
Compared with 1N4733A and BZX55C5V1, HZS6A2LTD-E offers tighter voltage tolerance, documented ultra-low noise, and optimized dynamic impedance for precision analog systems - though at lower power rating and higher unit cost.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage of HZS6A2LTD-E and its tolerance range?
HZS6A2LTD-E has a nominal zener voltage of 5.45 V, with a guaranteed range of 5.3 V to 5.6 V at 0.5 mA test current. This ±0.15 V tolerance supports accurate 5 V system referencing without external trimming. The specification is verified per Renesas REJ03G0166-0300 Rev.3.00 test conditions and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Is HZS6A2LTD-E suitable for high-frequency noise-sensitive applications?
Yes, HZS6A2LTD-E is explicitly characterized for low-noise operation - its noise level is approximately 1/3 to 1/10 that of the legacy HZ series. This makes HZS6A2LTD-E appropriate for precision analog signal chains, including photodiode biasing and high-resolution ADC references where broadband voltage noise directly impacts measurement fidelity.
What package type does HZS6A2LTD-E use and what are its mechanical dimensions?
HZS6A2LTD-E uses the MHD axial-leaded package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), with a 2.0 mm body diameter, 26 mm overall length, and 0.4 mm lead diameter. The cathode is marked with a black band. This package is qualified for 5 mm-pitch high-speed automatic insertion and complies with standard wave-soldering profiles.
What is the maximum power dissipation and thermal limit for HZS6A2LTD-E?
HZS6A2LTD-E has a maximum power dissipation of 400 mW at 25°C ambient and a maximum junction temperature of 200°C. Derating begins above 25°C per the published curve in Fig.3, reaching ~200 mW at 125°C ambient. These ratings enable reliable operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without active cooling.
Does HZS6A2LTD-E support DC-only operation or can it handle AC-coupled signals?
HZS6A2LTD-E is specified for DC operation only, as explicitly noted in the Renesas datasheet (REJ03G0166-0300, Note 1). Its electrical characteristics - including VZ, rd, and noise - are measured under steady-state DC bias. AC or transient operation outside the DC-rated conditions is not characterized and may compromise stability or longevity of HZS6A2LTD-E.
