Product details
Overview
BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101 qualified Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 22 V (±2 %), 25 mA test current, 16 Ω dynamic resistance at IZT, and 4.8 V clamping voltage at 30 A surge current. It serves as a precision voltage reference and transient overvoltage protector in automotive power rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VZ tolerance, 150 W peak surge power rating (10/1000 μs), -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility with automated reflow assembly.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode for voltage regulation and transient suppression. Its design integrates low leakage (<5 μA at VR = 18 V), stable temperature coefficient (+0.06 to +0.11 %/°C), and robust surge capability per IEC 60-1 (10/1000 μs waveform).
The device uses silicon planar construction and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and AEC-Q101 qualification-enabling use in under-hood automotive electronics where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZD27B22P-HE3_A18?
The BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2 %, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 21.56 V and 22.44 V at 25 mA test current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Vishay BZD27B Series datasheet (Document Number: 85921, Rev. 2.1) and is maintained across the full -65 °C to +175 °C operating range due to its specified temperature coefficient of +0.06 to +0.11 %/°C.
Is BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix in its ordering code. It meets all stress tests required for automotive discrete semiconductors-including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock-and is rated for operation from -65 °C to +175 °C. The device is explicitly intended for under-hood and powertrain applications such as engine control units and battery management systems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 during a surge event?
The BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30 V at a peak surge current (IRSM) of 30 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform defined in IEC 60-1. This value is measured at TJ = 25 °C prior to surge and represents the highest voltage the protected circuit will experience during standardized transient events. The clamping performance is validated in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 3 of the Vishay BZD27B Series datasheet.
Which package does BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package-a low-profile surface-mount outline measuring 2.7 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.08 mm. Key features include MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak temperature, JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and a cathode band marking for polarity identification. Package dimensions and footprint recommendations are detailed in Figure 5 of the Vishay BZD27B Series datasheet.
How does the thermal performance of BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 compare to standard SOD-123 devices?
BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 offers superior thermal performance versus standard SOD-123 devices due to its DO-219AB (SMF) package, which provides a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RthJL) of 30 K/W and junction-to-ambient resistance (RthJA) of 180 K/W on a 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pad. In contrast, typical SOD-123 packages exhibit RthJA > 300 K/W. This 40 % improvement in thermal dissipation allows BZD27B22P-HE3_A18 to sustain higher continuous power and survive repeated surge events without thermal runaway.
