Product details
Overview
HZS6A3TD-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 6.1–6.4 V, maximum power dissipation of 400 mW, dynamic resistance of 2.0 Ω at 5 mA, and operating junction temperature up to 200°C. It serves as a shunt reference in voltage monitor circuits, overvoltage clamp stages, and bias stabilization networks for analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the HZS6A3TD-E datasheet, HZS6A3TD-E pinout, HZS6A3TD-E application, or HZS6A3TD-E equivalent, this device is evaluated for use in industrial control power rails, sensor signal conditioning references, and embedded microcontroller reset supervision where tight voltage tolerance and low dynamic impedance are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with DC-tested characteristics, delivering stable regulation across ambient temperatures from −55°C to +175°C. Its low leakage current (≤5 µA at VR = 0.5 V) and low zener impedance support high-accuracy feedback paths in linear regulators and reference buffers.
The HZS6A3TD-E belongs to the HZS Series' "B" grade subgroup, specifying a zener voltage range of 6.1–6.4 V at 5 mA test current, and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient typical of mid-voltage Zeners-verified at −0.04 %/°C per datasheet Figure 2.
Key Specifications

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) | Zener voltage 6.2 V ±5%, Pd = 500 mW, rd = 10 Ω, DO-35 package | Higher dynamic resistance reduces regulation accuracy in precision references | Preferred for cost-sensitive, non-critical clamp roles where 10 Ω rd is acceptable |
| MMSZ4685 (Diodes Inc.) | Zener voltage 6.2 V ±5%, Pd = 350 mW, rd = 7 Ω, SOD-123 surface-mount | Lower power rating and SMT-only footprint limit use in through-hole or high-reliability through-hole designs | Selected when board space constraints require SMT and 350 mW suffices |
Compared with BZX55C6V2 and MMSZ4685, the HZS6A3TD-E offers superior regulation stability (2.0 Ω vs. ≥7 Ω rd) and higher junction temperature capability (200°C vs. 150°C), making it optimal for industrial-grade voltage references where long-term drift and thermal robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range specified for HZS6A3TD-E?
The HZS6A3TD-E has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 6.1 V to 6.4 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Ta = 25°C, corresponding to the "B" grade within the HZS6 type designation. This tolerance ensures predictable regulation behavior in feedback loops and voltage monitors without requiring post-production trimming.
Does HZS6A3TD-E support high-temperature operation beyond standard commercial ranges?
Yes, the HZS6A3TD-E is rated for junction temperatures up to 200°C and storage temperatures from −55°C to +175°C. This exceeds standard commercial-grade Zener diodes and enables deployment in engine compartments, motor drives, and sealed industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 100°C.
What package type does HZS6A3TD-E use, and is it compatible with automated assembly?
HZS6A3TD-E uses the MHD package (JEITA code GRZZ0002ZC-A), an axial-leaded glass-body diode with 5 mm lead pitch. It is explicitly qualified for high-speed automatic insertion per the datasheet, supporting compatibility with standard tape-and-reel feeders and wave solder processes without modification.
How does the dynamic resistance of HZS6A3TD-E impact its performance in voltage reference applications?
The HZS6A3TD-E specifies dynamic resistance of 2.0 Ω maximum at 5 mA, which directly limits output voltage variation under changing load current. In a reference application drawing 1 mA to 6 mA, this yields ≤10 mV total deviation-critical for ADC reference buffering and precision comparator thresholds where low rd maintains accuracy across operating conditions.
Is HZS6A3TD-E suitable for use in safety-critical or medical life-support systems?
No. Per Renesas documentation, the HZS6A3TD-E carries a "Standard" quality grade and is intended for applications including industrial robots, office equipment, and communications gear-not for aircraft, nuclear systems, or medical life-support devices. Its use in safety-critical contexts requires explicit written consent from Renesas Electronics and additional system-level validation.
