Product details
Overview
BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in automotive-grade power rails. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 4.7 V ±2 % at 100 mA test current, features 150 W peak surge power (10/1000 μs), and operates across -65 °C to +175 °C - enabling use in engine control units and ADAS sensor power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low dynamic impedance (3 Ω typ. at 100 mA), temperature coefficient (-0.1 %/°C to 0 %/°C), and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with tightly controlled voltage tolerance (±2 %) and low leakage (≤10 μA at VR = 3.76 V). Its thermal design supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C, enabled by RthJA = 180 K/W on 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads and RthJL = 30 K/W for lead-mounted dissipation.
The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and sustains non-repetitive 150 W surge power per IEC 60-1 (10/1000 μs waveform), with clamping voltage VC = 7.5 V at IRSM = 13.3 A - confirming suitability for ISO 7637-2 pulse suppression in 12 V automotive systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BZT52B4V7S | Same 4.7 V ±2 % rating but SOD-123 package; lower PRSM = 40 W (10/1000 μs); no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer power supplies, not automotive under-hood use. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs surge robustness and automotive qualification requirements. |
| ON Semiconductor 1SMA4732BT3G | DO-41 through-hole package; 4.7 V ±5 % tolerance; PRSM = 400 W but larger footprint (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm); no MSL Level 1 rating. | Used in legacy industrial power supplies where board space and reflow compatibility are secondary. | Choose only if through-hole assembly is mandated and thermal cycling stress is minimal. |
Compared with BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18, the STMicro BZT52B4V7S offers lower cost but lacks automotive qualification and surge margin, while the ON Semi 1SMA4732BT3G trades surface-mount efficiency for higher surge rating and legacy compatibility - making BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 optimal for new AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring compact, high-reliability clamping.

The BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2 %, specified as 4.61 V minimum to 4.79 V maximum at 100 mA test current (IZT). This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Vishay BZD27B Series datasheet Rev. 2.1, Table on page 2, and supports precision regulation without external calibration. The BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 achieves this via silicon planar process control and 100 % parametric screening.
Is the BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix in its ordering code and explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet section "FEATURES". It meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, and ESD ratings >8 kV HBM - all required for automotive under-hood and chassis-mounted electronics. The BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 is rated for operation from −65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature.
What is the maximum surge power rating for the BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18?
The BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 has a non-repetitive peak surge power rating of 150 W for a 10/1000 μs waveform, per IEC 60-1, as documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 2) and Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) of the Vishay datasheet. This value is validated with TJ = 25 °C prior to surge and supports compliance with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and Pulse 3a test profiles in 12 V automotive systems.
Which package does the BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 use?
The BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package - a low-profile surface-mount outline measuring 2.7 mm × 1.9 mm with 0.85 mm maximum height. Package dimensions and footprint recommendations are provided in Figure on page 5 of the Vishay datasheet. The BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 is compatible with SOD-123W, SOD-123F, and SOD-123FL land patterns per Vishay's compatibility note.
What is the clamping voltage of the BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 during surge events?
The clamping voltage (VC) of the BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 is 7.5 V at IRSM = 13.3 A for a 10/1000 μs surge, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) of the Vishay datasheet. This value reflects the maximum voltage seen at the cathode during standardized transient suppression and confirms effective protection for 5 V logic interfaces. The BZD27B4V7P-HE3_A18 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
