Product details
Overview
BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 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 non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 μs). It features ±2 % voltage tolerance, low dynamic resistance (20 Ω max at IZT), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 W surge rating, 3.9 V clamping voltage at 22 A, temperature coefficient of +0.06 to +0.11 %/°C, and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in DC bias and surge protection applications. Its design integrates low leakage current (<5 μA at VR = 22 V), stable Zener impedance (20 Ω max), and robust thermal performance (RthJA = 180 K/W on 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads).
The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 (peak reflow ≤260 °C), and AEC-Q101 qualification-enabling use in automotive power supply rails, industrial sensor interfaces, and telecom front-end protection where long-term parametric stability and surge resilience are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage (VZ) | 26.46–27.54 V at 25 mA - tight ±2 % tolerance enables accurate voltage regulation in feedback loops and reference circuits. |
| Clamping voltage (VC) | 36.3 V at 22 A (10/1000 μs) - defines maximum voltage seen by protected circuit during surge events. |
| Peak surge power (PRSM) | 150 W (10/1000 μs) - supports high-energy transient suppression without failure in automotive load-dump or ESD scenarios. |
| Dynamic resistance (ZZ) | 20 Ω max at IZT = 25 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under varying load current, critical for stable reference performance. |
| Temperature coefficient (αVZ) | +0.06 to +0.11 %/°C - positive drift allows predictable voltage increase with junction temperature, aiding thermal compensation design. |
| Junction temperature (Tj) | 175 °C max - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial enclosures. |
| Package | DO-219AB (SMF) - low-profile 2.7 × 3.5 mm surface-mount outline with cathode marking, optimized for automated assembly and space-constrained layouts. |
Pinout & Package
DO-219AB (SMF) package: 2-terminal, unidirectional, cathode-marked surface-mount device with 2.7 mm × 3.5 mm footprint and 1.08 mm height. Compliant with IPC-7351B standard for SMD placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry terminal during forward conduction; connected to lower-potential node in Zener mode. | Must be held at least 0.7 V below cathode to avoid forward conduction; determines polarity of protection path. |
| Cathode | Current exit terminal during forward conduction; connected to higher-potential node in Zener mode. | Marked side of package; ties to rail being protected (e.g., 24 V supply); defines clamping direction for transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and ADAS power domains, with extended temperature cycling and humidity testing. |
| 150 W surge rating (10/1000 μs) | Withstands high-energy transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without degradation-critical for 24 V vehicle systems. |
| ±2 % VZ tolerance | Reduces need for post-production trimming in voltage reference designs and improves batch consistency in production calibration. |
| MSL Level 1, 260 °C peak reflow | Enables single-pass lead-free reflow assembly without moisture-induced popcorn failure or delamination risk. |
| Low leakage (<5 μA at 22 V) | Minimizes standby power loss in always-on circuits such as battery-backed sensors and telematics modules. |

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 | TVS diode (not Zener); 27 V standoff, 300 W peak power, bidirectional capability. | Designed for fast-rising ESD/lightning; lacks precision regulation and ±2 % tolerance. | Select SMBJ27A when surge speed (tr < 1 ns) and bidirectional protection dominate over voltage accuracy. |
| BZX84-C27 | SOT-23 Zener; 27 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 300 mW PD, no AEC-Q101 or surge rating. | Intended for low-power bias/reference only-not suitable for automotive surge suppression. | Select BZX84-C27 only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where 150 W surge immunity is unnecessary. |
Compared with SMBJ27A and BZX84-C27, the BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ±2 % Zener tolerance, and 150 W surge capability in a low-profile DO-219AB package-making it the only option among the three suitable for regulated 27 V reference + automotive-grade transient suppression in a single device.

Is BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix in its ordering code. It undergoes rigorous stress testing-including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock-to meet automotive reliability requirements for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 during a surge event?
The BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 clamps to a maximum of 36.3 V at 22 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform (per IEC 61000-4-5), as specified in the Vishay datasheet. This clamping voltage defines the upper limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events and is measured with the device mounted on a 3 mm × 3 mm copper pad.
Which package does BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 use, and what are its key dimensions?
BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: a low-profile surface-mount outline measuring 2.7 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.08 mm with cathode marking. Its footprint matches IPC-7351B standard SMD-2 terminals and supports wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak).
Does BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 have a specified dynamic resistance?
Yes, the BZD27B27P-HE3_A18 has a maximum dynamic resistance (ZZ) of 20 Ω at IZT = 25 mA, as confirmed in the Vishay BZD27B Series datasheet.
