Product details
Overview
BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode rated for 47 V nominal Zener voltage (46.06–47.94 V), 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 bus monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ±2 % VZ tolerance, low dynamic resistance (36 Ω max at IZT), temperature coefficient (0.07–0.12 %/°C), and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to clamp transient overvoltages, with clamping voltage of 62.8 V at 5 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs). Its thermal design supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C and features RthJA = 180 K/W on standard 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads.
It delivers stable regulation under surge conditions per IEC 60-1, with low leakage current (≤5 μA at VR = 39 V) and meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and MSL Level 1 reflow requirements (peak 260 °C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ47A-E3/52 | Higher PPPM (600 W), larger SMB package (4.5 × 3.9 mm), higher VBR (52.2 V min) | Better suited for high-energy industrial transients; less space-constrained layouts | Select when surge energy exceeds 150 W and board area allows SMB footprint |
| P6SMB47A | Same DO-214AA (SMB) package, 600 W PPPM, VBR = 52.2 V min, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Commercial-grade alternative; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZD27B47P-HE3_A18, SMBJ47A-E3/52 offers higher surge capacity but requires more PCB area and lacks automotive qualification; P6SMB47A matches form factor but omits AEC-Q101 validation and has looser VZ tolerance (±5 %), reducing precision in regulated protection schemes.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZD27B47P-HE3_A18?
BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2 %, specified as 46.06 V (min) to 47.94 V (max) at 10 mA test current. This tight tolerance ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision protection circuits and reduces the need for post-production calibration or binning in high-volume automotive manufacturing.
Is BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD (HBM > 8 kV, MM > 800 V). This qualification confirms its suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive applications such as engine control units and body electronics where reliability under extreme thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 during a surge event?
The maximum clamping voltage of BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 is 62.8 V at a peak pulse current of 5 A with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured under standardized IEC 60-1 test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Which package does BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 use, and what are its key mechanical features?
BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: a low-profile surface-mount case measuring 2.9 mm × 1.4 mm × 1.08 mm with cathode marking. It features MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, supports wave and reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak, and is compatible with SOD-123W footprints-enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts without redesign.
How does the temperature coefficient affect BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 performance in wide-temperature environments?
The temperature coefficient of BZD27B47P-HE3_A18 is +0.07 to +0.12 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases slightly with rising junction temperature. In automotive applications spanning −40 °C to +150 °C ambient, this results in ~1.5–2.5 V total VZ shift, which must be accounted for in clamping margin calculations-especially in high-temperature engine bay deployments where sustained 175 °C junction operation is permitted.
