Product details
Overview
BZD27B150P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101 qualified Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 150 V, ±2 % tolerance, 5 mA test current, 201 V clamping voltage at 120 A surge, and 150 W peak surge power rating (10/1000 μs). It serves as overvoltage protection in automotive power supply rails and high-voltage DC bus monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B150P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B150P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B150P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B150P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V Zener voltage, 150 W surge rating, DO-219AB (SMF) package, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 0.73 %/°C temperature coefficient - critical for stable clamping in under-hood automotive environments.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse-biased avalanche mode to regulate or clamp voltage transients. Its design integrates low dynamic impedance (130 Ω typical at 5 mA) and tight voltage tolerance (±2 %) to ensure precise threshold behavior during ESD and load-dump events.
Rated for junction temperatures up to 175 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101, it supports automotive-grade reliability with MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and wave/reflow solder compatibility - enabling direct integration into engine control units and battery management systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 147.0–153.0 V (nominal 150 V, ±2 % tolerance ensures accurate clamping in 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive systems) |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5 mA (standard bias point for specifying VZ; enables stable regulation under low-power standby conditions) |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 201 V at IRSM = 120 A (10/1000 μs pulse; defines maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during surge) |
| Peak Surge Power (PRSM) | 150 W (10/1000 μs waveform; sustains automotive load-dump transients without failure) |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.09 to +0.13 %/°C (positive drift improves stability at elevated under-hood temperatures) |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance | 180 K/W (on 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pad; determines thermal derating in compact PCB layouts) |
| Package | DO-219AB (SMF); 2.7 × 3.5 × 0.85 mm footprint; compatible with SOD-123W outline for layout reuse |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision Zener reference source with low dynamic impedance (130 Ω) for ADC bias networks. Use Value: Delivers 150 V reference with <0.13 %/°C drift, reducing temperature-induced measurement error in multi-cell string monitoring. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ150A-E3/52 | TVS diode (not Zener); 150 V standoff, 243 V clamping at 100 A; higher capacitance (150 pF) | Designed for fast ESD/transient suppression; lacks precision regulation capability | Select when primary need is sub-ns response to ESD, not stable DC voltage reference |
| BZD27C150P-HE3_A18 | Same package and Zener voltage but ±5 % tolerance (vs. ±2 %); higher leakage at VR | Lower-cost alternative where tighter voltage tolerance is non-critical | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 142.5–157.5 V clamping range is acceptable |
Compared with SMBJ150A-E3/52 and BZD27C150P-HE3_A18, the BZD27B150P-HE3_A18 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ±2 % VZ tolerance, and 150 W surge rating - making it the only option suitable for automotive-grade precision clamping where both reliability and voltage accuracy are mandatory.
