Product details
Overview
BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 3.9 V ±2 %, 100 mA test current, and 150 W peak surge power rating (10/1000 μs waveform). It operates across -65 °C to +175 °C and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive electronics protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 pinout, BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 application, or BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, SOD-123W-compatible DO-219AB package details, and validated automotive-grade alternatives.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode functions as both a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor. Its 3.9 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at 100 mA test current with dynamic resistance ≤4 Ω and temperature coefficient between -0.14 %/°C and -0.04 %/°C.
It delivers 150 W non-repetitive peak surge power under 10/1000 μs waveform, clamps at 11.8 V maximum at 12.2 A peak reverse current, and maintains low leakage (<50 μA at VR = 3.12 V) while meeting MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker requirements.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode protection and regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZD27C3V9P-M3-08 | Commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101), same 3.9 V spec, identical DO-219AB package | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for consumer or industrial non-automotive use | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification needs |
| SMBJ3V3A | TVS diode with 3.3 V standoff, 100 W PPPM, higher clamping ratio (6.5 V @ 10 A) | Optimized for fast transient suppression rather than precision regulation | Choose for higher-speed ESD/EMI protection where regulation accuracy is secondary |
Compared with BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18, BZD27C3V9P-M3-08 offers identical electrical performance without automotive qualification, while SMBJ3V3A trades tighter voltage tolerance for faster response and higher surge current handling - making it better suited for pure transient suppression over precision biasing.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18?
The BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 has a Zener voltage range of 3.82 V (min) to 3.98 V (max) at 100 mA test current, corresponding to ±2 % tolerance around the nominal 3.9 V rating. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of Vishay document 85922 and applies specifically to the BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 variant within the BZD27B-M Series.
Is BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as explicitly stated in the "Ordering Information" section and footnote for the "-HM3" suffix. It meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1, and supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C - making it appropriate for under-hood and body-control module deployments.
What package does BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 use, and is it compatible with standard SMT processes?
BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package, which is footprint-compatible with SOD-123W and supports wave and reflow soldering. Its MSL Level 1 rating permits peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C without preconditioning, and the cathode marking aligns with standard orientation diagrams in Vishay's package drawing S8-V-3915.01-001.
How does the surge capability of BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 compare to standard Zener diodes?
BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 delivers 150 W peak surge power under 10/1000 μs waveform - significantly higher than legacy SOD-123 Zeners (typically ≤60 W). This is enabled by its optimized die construction and low RthJL of 30 K/W, allowing it to absorb ISO 7637-2 load dump energy without degradation, as verified in Vishay's Typical Repetitive Peak Surge Power chart (Fig. 5).
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 at rated voltage?
At VR = 3.12 V (80 % of nominal 3.9 V), the BZD27B3V9P-HM3_A18 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 50 μA, per the "Electrical Characteristics" table on page 2 of document 85922. This low leakage supports energy-efficient designs in battery-powered and always-on sensor nodes.
