Product details
Overview
BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode rated for 27 V nominal Zener voltage (26.46–27.54 V), 25 mA test current, and 150 W peak surge power (10/1000 μs). It features ±2 % voltage tolerance, low dynamic resistance (20 Ω max), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use in overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 datasheet, BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 pinout, BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 application, or BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (36.3 V at 22 A), temperature coefficient (+0.06 to +0.11 %/°C), surge robustness (150 W PRSM), and SOD-123W-compatible SMF (DO-219AB) package with MSL level 1 handling.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in DC bias and protection circuits. Its design supports stable regulation under 25 mA test current and delivers 36.3 V clamping voltage at 22 A peak reverse current per IEC 60-1 (10/1000 μs).
The device uses a planar silicon junction optimized for low leakage (<5 μA at VR = 22 V), excellent long-term stability, and high junction temperature capability (TJ max = 175 °C), enabling reliable operation in automotive engine control units and industrial power supplies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ27A-E3/52 | TVS diode (unidirectional), 27 V standoff, 400 W peak power, higher clamping (42.1 V) | Designed for fast-rising ESD/lightning; less precise regulation than Zener | Select when surge energy exceeds 150 W or sub-nanosecond rise times dominate |
| BZX84-C27LT1G | SOT-23 Zener, 27 V, ±5 % tolerance, 300 mW PD, no surge rating | General-purpose regulation only; not qualified for automotive or surge suppression | Select only for low-power biasing where AEC-Q101 and PRSM are unnecessary |
Compared with SMBJ27A-E3/52 and BZX84-C27LT1G, the BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ±2 % VZ tolerance, and 150 W IEC-compliant surge capability in a low-profile SMF package - making it optimal for automotive and industrial 24 V system protection where precision and ruggedness coexist.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZD27B27P-HE3_A08?
The BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 has a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V with a guaranteed range of 26.46 V to 27.54 V at 25 mA test current, corresponding to ±2 % tolerance per the BZD27B Series specification. This tight tolerance is confirmed in Table 1 of Vishay document 85921 Rev. 2.1 and applies specifically to the BZD27B27P variant with HE3_A08 suffix indicating AEC-Q101 qualification and tape-and-reel packaging.
Does BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix per Vishay's ordering information. It passes JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL level 1 per J-STD-020, and ESD ratings >8 kV HBM / >800 V MM. These qualifications are explicitly documented for the HE3-grade BZD27B Series in the December 2022 datasheet revision.
What is the clamping voltage of BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 under surge conditions?
The clamping voltage (VC) of BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 is 36.3 V at 22 A peak reverse current (IRSM), measured using the 10/1000 μs waveform per IEC 60-1. This value is specified in the second electrical characteristics table (page 3) of the BZD27B datasheet and defines the maximum voltage imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events.
Which package does BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 use, and is it compatible with standard footprints?
BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 uses the SMF (DO-219AB) package - a low-profile surface-mount case measuring 2.7 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.2 mm. Vishay confirms compatibility with SOD-123W, SOD-123F, and SOD-123FL land patterns. The footprint recommendation (1.3 mm × 1.3 mm pad, 2.9 mm center-to-center) is provided in Figure 5 of the datasheet.
Can BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 be used in both regulation and surge protection roles?
Yes, BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 is characterized for dual use: as a precision shunt regulator (with 25 mA IZT, 20 Ω ZZ, ±2 % VZ) and as a transient voltage suppressor (150 W PRSM, 36.3 V VC). The datasheet provides separate electrical tables for regulation (page 2) and protection (page 3), confirming validated performance in both modes for the exact BZD27B27P-HE3_A08 part number.
