Product details
Overview
BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode rated for 36 V nominal breakdown voltage (±2 % tolerance), 10 mA test current, and 150 W non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 μs waveform), designed for overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and industrial DC supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 datasheet, BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 pinout, BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 application, or BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low dynamic resistance (27 Ω at 10 mA), temperature coefficient (+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 clamping configurations. It delivers stable regulation under DC bias and robust surge handling per IEC 60-1 (10/1000 μs), with clamping voltage VC = 48.4 V at IRSM = 3 A.
Its thermal design supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C, enabled by RthJA = 180 K/W on 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads and RthJL = 30 K/W, while meeting MSL level 1 (260 °C peak reflow) and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ36A-E3/52 | TVS diode (not Zener); 36 V standoff, 58.1 V clamping at 10.3 A; 600 W peak power | Designed for faster transient suppression (sub-nanosecond response); less precise DC regulation | Select when surge energy exceeds 150 W or sub-100 ns rise time protection is required; not suitable as voltage reference |
| BZX84-C36LT1G | SOT-23 Zener; 36 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance; 300 mW power; 50 Ω dynamic resistance | Limited to low-power signal-level protection; no AEC-Q101 or surge rating | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where automotive qualification and 150 W surge immunity are unnecessary |
Compared with SMBJ36A-E3/52 and BZX84-C36LT1G, the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 uniquely balances precision DC regulation (±2 %, 27 Ω), high-energy surge handling (150 W), and automotive qualification-making it optimal for safety-critical power rail supervision where both accuracy and ruggedness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 during a 10/1000 μs surge event?
The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 48.4 V at a peak reverse current (IRSM) of 3 A under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions, as specified in the Vishay datasheet revision 2.1. This value ensures effective suppression of load-dump transients while maintaining safe margin below typical 50 V IC absolute maximum ratings. The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 achieves this performance with minimal overshoot due to its 27 Ω dynamic resistance at 10 mA test current.
Is the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix in its ordering code and confirmed in Vishay's documentation. It meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL level 1 reflow requirements (260 °C peak), and has demonstrated reliability across temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock profiles defined for automotive under-hood and cabin modules. The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 is routinely deployed in engine control units and ADAS power domains.
What package type does the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) surface-mount package, measuring 2.7 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm with a cathode band marking. Its footprint requires 1.3 mm × 1.3 mm pad area per terminal and supports wave and reflow soldering. The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08's low profile and MSL level 1 rating enable direct integration into high-density automotive PCBs without thermal or placement constraints.
How does the temperature coefficient of the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 affect its regulation accuracy over temperature?
The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 has a specified temperature coefficient (αVZ) of +0.06 to +0.11 %/°C, meaning its nominal 36 V Zener voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. Over a -40 to +125 °C ambient range (assuming typical thermal resistance), the total VZ shift remains within ±0.43 V - well within most system tolerances. This stable positive drift makes the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 suitable for applications where monotonic, known voltage change is preferable to unpredictable drift. The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 maintains regulation integrity without external compensation.
Can the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 be used as a voltage reference in precision analog circuits?
The BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 is optimized for protection rather than precision reference use: its ±2 % VZ tolerance, 27 Ω dynamic resistance, and +0.06 to +0.11 %/°C TC limit accuracy compared to dedicated reference ICs. However, in cost-sensitive industrial monitoring circuits where 0.7 V total drift over temperature is acceptable - such as DC bus overvoltage detection - the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 provides adequate stability without additional components. For sub-0.1 % accuracy, a bandgap reference remains preferred, but the BZD27B36P-HE3_A08 delivers robust, integrated functionality where protection and coarse regulation coexist.
