Product details
Overview
HZU36BTRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage stabilization in low-power analog and reference circuits, with a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V (min 34.0 V, max 38.0 V at 2 mA), 200 mW power dissipation, and 90 Ω dynamic resistance at 2 mA test current.
For engineers reviewing the HZU36BTRF-E datasheet, HZU36BTRF-E pinout, HZU36BTRF-E application, or HZU36BTRF-E equivalent, this device serves as a surface-mount voltage reference in power supply feedback loops, sensor biasing networks, and overvoltage protection clamping stages where tight tolerance and thermal stability are required.
Technical Context
The HZU36BTRF-E operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across its cathode-anode terminals under reverse-biased conditions. Its Zener breakdown mechanism provides predictable voltage regulation with a temperature coefficient of approximately –0.06 %/°C near 36 V, confirmed by Figure 2 of the datasheet.
It is rated for junction temperatures up to 150 °C and storage between –55 °C and +150 °C, with absolute maximum ratings defined for pulsed operation (40 ms pulse width). The device exhibits 2 μA maximum reverse leakage at VR = 27 V, ensuring low standby current in precision bias applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 34.0 V to 38.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines stable regulation range for feedback or reference use |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 200 mW at Ta = 25 °C - limits continuous DC power handling in compact PCB layouts |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | 90 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2 μA at VR = 27 V - ensures minimal error current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - sets thermal derating boundary for reliability in enclosed environments |
| Package Type | URP (Ultra small Resin Package, SC-76A) - 0.8 mm × 1.5 mm footprint for space-constrained SMT designs |
Pinout & Package
URP (Ultra small Resin Package, JEITA code SC-76A) is a 2-pin surface-mount package with 0.8 mm × 1.5 mm body size and 0.004 g typical mass. Cathode is marked with a visible band on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt regulation path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small URP package | SC-76A footprint (0.8 mm × 1.5 mm) enables high-density placement in portable and IoT sensor modules |
| Taped and reel delivery | TRF taping (3,000 pcs/reel) supports automated SMT assembly without manual handling or static risk |
| Grade B Zener tolerance | ±5.6% total voltage spread (34.0–38.0 V) - suitable for non-critical stabilization where cost and size dominate |
| Pulse-tested characterization | All electrical specs validated using 40 ms pulses - ensures repeatability and avoids thermal runaway during testing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage stabilization applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C36LT1G | 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOT-23 package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm), 350 mW Pd | Larger footprint and higher power rating; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Preferred when higher surge energy absorption or legacy SOT-23 board compatibility is required |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 36 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOD-123 package (3.7 mm × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Pd | Double the power rating and 4.6× larger area; requires PCB real estate trade-off | Chosen for industrial power supplies needing margin above 200 mW continuous dissipation |
Compared with BZX84-C36LT1G and MMSZ5245B-TP, the HZU36BTRF-E offers the smallest PCB footprint (0.8 mm × 1.5 mm) and lowest assembly profile among 36 V Zeners, making it optimal for miniaturized sensor transmitters and wearable electronics where board space is constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of HZU36BTRF-E?
The HZU36BTRF-E has a Zener voltage range of 34.0 V to 38.0 V at 2 mA test current, corresponding to Grade B tolerance per the datasheet. This ±5.6% spread is verified under pulsed conditions (40 ms) and applies specifically to the HZU36BTRF-E variant, not broader HZU family members with B1/B2/B3 grading.
Is HZU36BTRF-E suitable for continuous DC operation?
Yes, the HZU36BTRF-E is rated for continuous DC operation up to 200 mW at 25 °C ambient, with derating per Figure 3 in the datasheet. At 70 °C ambient, its usable power drops to ~130 mW. It must be mounted on standard FR-4 PCB with adequate copper area to meet thermal requirements.
What does "TRF" signify in HZU36BTRF-E?
"TRF" indicates tape-and-reel packaging with 3,000 units per reel and STSP0002ZA-A carrier tape format. This designation confirms factory-standard SMT-ready delivery for automated placement, consistent with Renesas' ordering information table for the HZU Series.
Does HZU36BTRF-E have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes - Figure 2 of the datasheet shows the Zener voltage temperature coefficient γZ for the HZU36BTRF-E is approximately –0.06 %/°C (or –21.6 mV/°C) near 36 V. This negative coefficient is inherent to its silicon planar Zener structure and must be accounted for in precision reference designs operating across –40 °C to +85 °C.
Can HZU36BTRF-E replace older HZU36B variants?
Yes - HZU36BTRF-E is the tape-and-reel packaged version of the HZU36B grade device, sharing identical electrical characteristics, URP package dimensions, and marking (36•). The "-E" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, fully compatible with reflow profiles used for HZU36B.
