Product details
Overview
BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode rated for 5.1 V nominal breakdown voltage (±2 % tolerance), 100 mA test current, and 150 W non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 μs waveform), designed for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in automotive-grade power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ±0.02 %/°C temperature coefficient, 3 Ω dynamic resistance at IZT, 5 μA reverse leakage at VR = 4.1 V, and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility with reflow soldering.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to clamp or regulate voltage with low dynamic impedance and tight voltage tolerance. Its design supports both steady-state regulation (IZT = 100 mA) and high-energy transient suppression (PRSM = 150 W).
It features AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance, and ESD robustness (>8 kV HBM), making it suitable for automotive power supply monitoring and industrial control interface protection where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0A | TVS diode (unidirectional); higher clamping voltage (VC = 9.2 V at 12.5 A); 600 W peak power | Designed for fast transient suppression (ns response), not precision regulation | Select when surge energy exceeds 150 W or sub-10 ns rise-time spikes dominate threat model |
| BZX84-C5V1 | SOT-23 Zener; ±5 % tolerance; 300 mW Ptot; no AEC-Q101 or surge rating spec | Intended for low-power signal-level regulation, not automotive power rails | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with ambient temperature <85 °C and no surge requirements |
Compared with SMBJ5.0A and BZX84-C5V1, the BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 uniquely combines tight ±2 % regulation, 150 W surge capability, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the only option suitable for automotive-grade 5.1 V reference and protection in a single DO-219AB device.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18?
The BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±2 %, specified as 5.00 V minimum to 5.20 V maximum at 100 mA test current. This tight tolerance ensures consistent performance in precision voltage reference and regulation circuits without requiring calibration. The BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 achieves this via silicon planar process control and 100 % parametric screening per Vishay's AEC-Q101 qualification protocol.
Is BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use, including under-hood environments. It meets JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, MSL Level 1 handling, and 260 °C reflow compatibility. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature and 150 W surge rating align with ISO 7637-2 load-dump requirements. The BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 is designated with "-HE3" suffix to indicate AEC-Q101 compliance per Vishay's ordering nomenclature.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18?
The maximum reverse leakage current for BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 is 5 μA at VR = 4.1 V and Tamb = 25 °C. This low leakage supports energy-efficient designs in always-on subsystems such as automotive body controllers and IoT edge sensors. The BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range due to optimized doping and passivation in the silicon planar structure.
Which package does BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 use?
BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package: a low-profile surface-mount outline measuring 2.7 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.08 mm, with cathode band marking and 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pad thermal land recommendation. This package is identical to Vishay's eSMP® family and supports wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020. The BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 is not offered in SOD-123 variants-the "-HE3_A18" suffix confirms DO-219AB packaging per Vishay's ordering code matrix.
Does BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 have a specified temperature coefficient?
Yes, BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 has a temperature coefficient (αVZ) of −0.08 %/°C minimum to +0.02 %/°C maximum at IZT = 100 mA. This near-zero drift enables stable regulation across −65 °C to +175 °C operating range, critical for engine control units and industrial PLCs. The BZD27B5V1P-HE3_A18 achieves this via optimized Zener voltage design point and epitaxial layer control, as documented in Vishay's Rev. 2.1 datasheet (Doc. #85921).
