Product details
Overview
BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101 qualified Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 30 V (±2 %), 25 mA test current, 40.4 V clamping voltage at 5 A surge, 150 W peak surge power rating, and DO-219AB (SMF) package for automotive-grade overvoltage protection in power supply rails and ECU input stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VZ tolerance, 175 °C max junction temperature, MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in DC bias networks and surge protection circuits. It delivers stable regulation at 30 V with 0.06 to 0.11 %/°C temperature coefficient and supports both steady-state regulation (IZT = 25 mA) and high-energy pulse suppression (10/1000 μs waveform, PRSM = 150 W).
The device uses silicon planar construction and is housed in an eSMP® SMF (DO-219AB) package with low thermal resistance (RthJL = 30 K/W), enabling reliable operation up to 175 °C junction temperature and compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles peaking at 260 °C.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 29.4 V min / 30 V nom / 30.6 V max - tight ±2 % tolerance enables accurate voltage clamping in safety-critical automotive circuits |
| Test Current (IZT) | 25 mA - defines operating point for specified VZ and dynamic resistance; used for stable DC regulation |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 40.4 V at IRSM = 5 A - limits transient voltage during 10/1000 μs surges, protecting downstream ICs |
| Peak Surge Power (PRSM) | 150 W - withstands high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +175 °C - supports under-hood automotive environments and industrial high-temp applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ30A | TVS diode (not Zener); higher clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45 vs. 1.35), 600 W peak power, bidirectional option available | Designed for high-energy surge suppression only; lacks precision DC regulation capability | Select when primary need is transient immunity, not voltage reference stability |
| BZX84-C30 | SOT-23 package; ±5 % VZ tolerance; 300 mW Ptot; no AEC-Q101 or surge rating spec | Intended for low-power signal-level regulation, not automotive power rail protection | Select only for non-automotive, low-current (<10 mA), non-surge environments |
Compared with SMBJ30A and BZX84-C30, the BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, ±2 % VZ tolerance, and 150 W surge rating in a miniature DO-219AB package-making it the only choice for automotive-grade 30 V reference + protection in space-constrained ECUs.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZD27B30P-HE3_A18?
The BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 has a zener voltage tolerance of ±2 %, with a nominal value of 30 V and a specified range of 29.4 V to 30.6 V at 25 mA test current. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 2.1 and enables precise voltage clamping in automotive and industrial applications where regulation accuracy is critical. The BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 achieves this via silicon planar process control and post-package screening.
Is BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. It meets all stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and human-body-model ESD (>8 kV). The BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 is rated for operation from −65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, supporting under-hood automotive applications such as engine control units and body electronics.
What is the clamping voltage of BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 under surge conditions?
The clamping voltage (VC) of BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 is 40.4 V at a peak surge current (IRSM) of 5 A with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and appears in the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 3 of the Vishay datasheet. The BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 maintains this clamping performance while dissipating 150 W peak surge power, protecting downstream components from overvoltage damage.
Which package does BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 use?
BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package - a low-profile surface-mount outline measuring 2.9 × 1.4 × 1.08 mm with cathode identification via marking band. Per Vishay's package drawing S8-V-3915.01-001, it is compatible with standard 8 mm tape-and-reel handling and meets J-STD-020 MSL level 1. The BZD27B30P-HE3_A18's SMF package provides superior thermal performance (RthJL = 30 K/W) versus legacy SOD-123 variants.
Does BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, BZD27B30P-HE3_A18 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering, with a maximum peak temperature rating of 260 °C per J-STD-020. It meets MSL level 1 and requires no pre-baking prior to assembly. The BZD27B30P-HE3_A18's eSMP® construction and RoHS-compliant materials ensure reliability through standard Pb-free reflow profiles, including those defined by IPC-J-STD-020 for Class 3 electronics.
