Product details
Overview
BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 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 Ω dynamic resistance at IZT, and 57.9 V clamping voltage at 5 A surge current. It serves as a precision voltage reference and transient overvoltage protector in automotive power rail monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VZ tolerance, 150 W peak surge power rating (10/1000 μs), -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode for voltage regulation and transient suppression. Its design integrates low leakage current (<5 μA at VR = 36 V), stable temperature coefficient (+0.07 to +0.12 %/°C), and robust surge capability per IEC 60-1 (10/1000 μs waveform).
The device uses silicon planar construction and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, and AEC-Q101 qualification-enabling use in under-hood automotive electronics where thermal cycling and mechanical reliability are critical.

The BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 has a nominal Zener voltage of 43 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2 %, meaning the actual breakdown voltage falls between 42.14 V and 43.86 V at 10 mA test current. This tight tolerance is specified per the BZD27B Series family and confirmed in the Vishay datasheet revision 2.1. The BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 achieves this via silicon planar process control and 100 % parametric screening.
Is the BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1 handling, and operates from -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. Its 150 W surge rating aligns with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements, making the BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 appropriate for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power domains.
What package does the BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 use, and what are its dimensions?
The BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) surface-mount package: 2.7 mm × 3.9 mm footprint, 1.08 mm height, with gull-wing terminals and cathode marking. Per Vishay document S8-V-3915.01-001, the package meets UL 94 V-0 flammability and supports wave/reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 °C. This compact outline enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance.
How does the BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 perform under surge conditions?
The BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 delivers 150 W peak surge power for 10/1000 μs waveform and 300 W for 100 μs square pulse, with clamping voltage limited to 57.9 V at 5 A. Its thermal resistance RthJA is 180 K/W on a 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pad, enabling effective heat dissipation during repetitive transients. These values are measured per IEC 60-1 and documented in the BZD27B Series datasheet section "Absolute Maximum Ratings" and "Electrical Characteristics".
What is the temperature coefficient of the BZD27B43P-HE3_A18?
The BZD27B43P-HE3_A18 has a Zener voltage temperature coefficient (αVZ) ranging from +0.07 %/°C minimum to +0.12 %/°C maximum at 10 mA test current. This positive TC indicates VZ increases with junction temperature-a characteristic confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table of the Vishay datasheet. The BZD27B43P-HE3_A18's TC supports stable reference behavior in wide-temperature automotive environments.
