Product details
Overview
BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101-qualified Zener diode with nominal 4.3 V breakdown voltage (±2 % tolerance), 100 mA test current, and 150 W peak surge power rating (10/1000 μs waveform). It operates across -65 °C to +175 °C and delivers low dynamic resistance (7 Ω typ.) for stable voltage regulation in automotive power rail protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VZ tolerance, 150 W surge capability, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-123W-compatible DO-219AB package, and -65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode functions as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in DC power rails. Its design integrates low leakage current (<1 μA at VR), tight 4.21–4.39 V breakdown range, and temperature coefficient of -0.12 to -0.02 %/°C for predictable thermal drift in automotive environments.
The device uses silicon planar construction and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing and MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak reflow). It supports wave and reflow soldering and is rated for non-repetitive 300 W surge power (100 μs pulse) and 150 W (10/1000 μs).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZD27C4V3P-HE3_A18 | ±5 % VZ tolerance vs. ±2 %; otherwise identical package, surge rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost tier | Select BZD27C4V3P-HE3_A18 only if system-level validation confirms ±5 % VZ meets overvoltage trip margin requirements |
| SMBJ4.3AHE3_A/H | TVS diode (not Zener); 4.3 V standoff, 6.3 V clamping at 1 A; 600 W peak power; DO-214AA package | Superior transient suppression but no precision regulation; larger footprint and higher clamping voltage | Choose SMBJ4.3AHE3_A/H when primary need is high-energy surge absorption rather than stable DC reference |
Compared with BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18, the BZD27C4V3P-HE3_A18 trades regulation precision for cost, while the SMBJ4.3AHE3_A/H shifts from regulation to clamping with higher surge capacity but looser DC behavior and different form factor.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 at 25 °C?
The BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 4.21 V to 4.39 V at 100 mA test current and 25 °C ambient, per Vishay's Rev. 2.1 datasheet (Document Number: 85921). This ±2 % tolerance is measured under pulsed conditions (tp ≤ 5 ms) and defines the device's precision regulation window for design margining.
Is BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix in its ordering code. It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1, and ESD ratings (>8 kV HBM), making it suitable for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics per the Vishay BZD27B Series datasheet.
What package does BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 use, and is it compatible with standard SMT processes?
BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package-identical in outline to SOD-123W-and is fully compatible with standard reflow and wave soldering. Its MSL Level 1 rating permits direct placement without baking, and the 260 °C peak reflow profile aligns with IPC-J-STD-020 requirements.
How does the temperature coefficient affect BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 performance across its operating range?
The BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 exhibits a temperature coefficient (αVZ) between -0.12 %/°C and -0.02 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage decreases slightly with rising temperature. Over -40 °C to +125 °C, this results in a total VZ shift of approximately -35 mV to -10 mV-critical for applications requiring stable reference voltage across wide thermal excursions.
What is the maximum non-repetitive surge power rating for BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18, and under what waveform?
BZD27B4V3P-HE3_A18 is rated for 300 W non-repetitive peak surge power under a 100 μs square pulse condition, and 150 W under the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. These values are specified at TJ = 25 °C prior to surge and assume proper PCB thermal management per datasheet mounting conditions.
