Product details
Overview
BZD27B43P-HE3_A08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101-qualified Zener diode with nominal 43 V breakdown voltage (±2 % tolerance), 10 mA test current, 36 V clamping voltage at 5 A surge, and 150 W peak surge power rating. It serves as a precision voltage reference and transient overvoltage protector in automotive power rails and industrial DC bus monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B43P-HE3_A08 datasheet, BZD27B43P-HE3_A08 pinout, BZD27B43P-HE3_A08 application, or BZD27B43P-HE3_A08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VZ tolerance, 0.07 to 0.12 %/°C temperature coefficient, DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to regulate or clamp voltage with low dynamic resistance (24 Ω typical at 10 mA) and tight voltage tolerance. Its thermal design supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C and uses a copper-pad–optimized layout (3 mm × 3 mm) for RthJA = 180 K/W.
The device delivers 150 W non-repetitive surge power under 10/1000 μs waveform conditions and exhibits low leakage (≤5 μA at 36 V), enabling reliable operation in high-temperature automotive environments and industrial power supply protection stages.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 42.14 V min. / 43 V nom. / 43.86 V max. - enables precise 43 V regulation with ±2 % tolerance for stable reference or clamping. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 10 mA - defines operating point for specified VZ; ensures stable regulation under typical bias conditions. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 57.9 V at IRSM = 5 A - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels during 10/1000 μs surges in power rail protection. |
| Peak Surge Power (PRSM) | 150 W - sustains short-duration energy transients without failure, critical for ISO 7637-2 pulse suppression. |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | 0.07 %/°C min. / 0.12 %/°C max. - ensures predictable VZ drift across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ43A-E3/52 | TVS diode (not Zener); higher clamping ratio (69.4 V at 5.8 A), lower VBR (47.8 V min.), no ±2 % VZ tolerance. | Designed for fast transient suppression only; lacks precision regulation capability. | Select when primary need is surge immunity rather than stable DC reference. |
| BZX84-C43-HE3-08 | SOT-23 package; lower PRSM (100 W), wider VZ tolerance (±5 %), same AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to low-power signal-level protection due to smaller thermal mass and lower surge rating. | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where 43 V reference is needed but 150 W surge is not required. |
Compared with SMBJ43A-E3/52 and BZX84-C43-HE3-08, BZD27B43P-HE3_A08 uniquely combines ±2 % Zener tolerance, 150 W surge rating, and DO-219AB thermal performance-making it optimal for automotive power rail regulation where both precision and ruggedness are mandatory.
