Product details
Overview
HZS6A2TD-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and stabilization in low-power supply circuits, with a nominal zener voltage of 6.4 V (min 6.3 V, max 6.7 V), 400 mW power dissipation, 2.0 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA test current, and operating junction temperature up to 200°C - used in precision reference and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the HZS6A2TD-E datasheet, HZS6A2TD-E pinout, HZS6A2TD-E application, or HZS6A2TD-E equivalent, this device serves as a stable, low-leakage, surface-mount-compatible voltage reference in DC-DC feedback paths, sensor biasing networks, and analog front-end clamping where tight tolerance and thermal stability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with DC-tested characteristics, delivering regulated voltage under controlled zener current (IZ = 5 mA). Its low dynamic resistance (2.0 Ω) ensures minimal output impedance across load variations, while its −55°C to +175°C storage temperature range supports wide-environment deployment.
The device uses a silicon planar construction with cathode band marking, packaged in the MHD (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) leadframe package. It exhibits a negative zener voltage temperature coefficient near 6.4 V, typical for mid-voltage Zeners, enabling predictable drift behavior in thermal-aware designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 6.3 V (min) to 6.7 V (max) at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback or reference use |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 400 mW maximum - sets upper thermal limit for continuous operation without heatsinking |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 2.0 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 0.5 V - ensures low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 200°C maximum - enables reliable operation in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| Package | MHD (JEITA GRZZ0002ZC-A) - 2-pin through-hole compatible footprint with 5 mm pitch for automated insertion |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; polarity must be observed for proper reverse-bias operation |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low zener impedance | 2.0 Ω at 5 mA - improves regulation accuracy under varying load currents |

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) | 6.2 V nominal, 500 mW Pd, 10 Ω rd, DO-35 package | Higher power but higher impedance; requires layout adaptation for axial lead vs. MHD pitch | Preferred when higher surge energy handling is needed and board space permits DO-35 footprint |
| MMSZ5233B (Diodes Inc.) | 6.2 V nominal, 500 mW Pd, 7 Ω rd, SOD-123 surface-mount package | SMD-only; lacks through-hole compatibility and 5 mm pitch automation support | Selected for compact PCBs where reflow assembly replaces wave soldering and manual insertion |
Compared with BZX55C6V2 and MMSZ5233B, HZS6A2TD-E offers tighter VZ tolerance (±0.3 V vs. ±5%), lower dynamic resistance (2.0 Ω vs. ≥7 Ω), and native compatibility with high-speed through-hole insertion - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial controls requiring repeatable mechanical placement and stable low-current regulation.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS6A2TD-E?
The HZS6A2TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 6.3 V (minimum) to 6.7 V (maximum) when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C. This 0.4 V span reflects the "A2" grade within the HZS6 family and is confirmed in the Renesas REJ03G0184-0500 datasheet, page 3. The HZS6A2TD-E maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is HZS6A2TD-E suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No, HZS6A2TD-E is not a surface-mount device. It uses the MHD package - a radial leaded, through-hole package with 5 mm pin pitch - designed for wave soldering or high-speed automatic insertion. Its JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A and mechanical drawings on page 6 of the datasheet confirm axial lead configuration and 26 mm minimum body length, precluding SMT placement.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for HZS6A2TD-E?
The maximum reverse leakage current for HZS6A2TD-E is 5 µA, measured at VR = 0.5 V and Ta = 25°C. This value is specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 2 of the Renesas datasheet (REJ03G0184-0500 Rev.5.00) and applies to all HZS6-grade variants including HZS6A2TD-E.
Does HZS6A2TD-E have a specified zener voltage temperature coefficient?
Yes - while the datasheet does not list a numeric γZ value specific to HZS6A2TD-E, Figure 2 (page 5) shows the zener voltage temperature coefficient curve for the HZS Series. At ~6.4 V, the coefficient is approximately −0.04 %/°C (or −2.6 mV/°C), consistent with mid-voltage silicon Zeners. This behavior is inherent to the device's silicon planar structure and confirmed across the HZS6 family.
Can HZS6A2TD-E replace a 6.2 V Zener diode in an existing design?
Replacing a 6.2 V Zener with HZS6A2TD-E requires verification of circuit margin: its 6.3–6.7 V range shifts regulation upward by ~0.1–0.5 V. If the original design relies on tight 6.2 V tolerance (e.g., for comparator thresholds), recalibration or resistor adjustment may be needed. However, for general clamping or coarse reference use, HZS6A2TD-E is functionally viable - provided MHD package fit and 5 mm pitch match the PCB layout.
