Product details
Overview
BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode rated for 5.6 V nominal breakdown voltage (±2 % tolerance), 100 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 supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ±0.04 %/°C temperature coefficient, 2 Ω dynamic resistance at IZT, 10 μA reverse leakage at 4.5 V, and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility with reflow soldering.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in clamping configurations. Its design integrates low-profile SOD-123W-compatible packaging with MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance-enabling high-reliability deployment in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
Electrical behavior is defined by tight 5.49–5.71 V Zener voltage range at 100 mA, 2 V clamping voltage at 13.3 A peak surge current (10/1000 μs), and thermal resistance of 30 K/W junction-to-lead-supporting stable regulation under pulsed load conditions without derating below 105 °C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 5.49–5.71 V at 100 mA - ensures ±2 % regulation accuracy for 5.6 V reference designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ5.0A | TVS diode with 5.0 V standoff, 13.4 V clamping at 10.3 A; higher capacitance (150 pF) | Designed for fast ESD/EMI suppression rather than precision regulation | Select when surge speed (<1 ns response) matters more than voltage accuracy |
| BZX84-C5V6 | SOT-23 package; ±5 % VZ tolerance; 500 mW Ptot; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower surge capability (100 W); unsuitable for automotive under-hood environments | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where AEC-Q101 and 150 W surge are not required |
Compared with SMBJ5.0A and BZX84-C5V6, the BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 delivers tighter voltage tolerance, higher surge robustness, and automotive-grade reliability-making it optimal for safety-critical 12 V rail protection where both precision and ruggedness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18?
The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.6 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2 %, corresponding to a minimum of 5.49 V and maximum of 5.71 V at 100 mA test current. This tight tolerance is specified per the BZD27B Series datasheet Rev. 2.1 and enables precise voltage regulation without external calibration. The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 achieves this consistency through silicon planar process control and 100 % parametric screening.
Is BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 is AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix in its ordering code. It meets all stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling (TCT), and is rated for operation from −65 °C to +175 °C. The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 is intended for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive modules where reliability under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.
What package does BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) surface-mount package-measuring 2.7 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.85 mm-with cathode band marking and MSL Level 1 rating. It is RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, confirmed by the "-HE3" suffix denoting Vishay's RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q101-qualified variant. The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18's molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 during surge events?
The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 13.3 V at a peak surge current (IRSM) of 13.3 A under the 10/1000 μs waveform, per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is measured at TJ = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transients. The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low αVZ.
Can BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 be used in place of a standard 5.6 V Zener for voltage reference?
Yes, the BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 is suitable as a precision voltage reference due to its ±2 % VZ tolerance, low dynamic resistance (2 Ω), and stable temperature coefficient (−0.04 to +0.04 %/°C). Unlike general-purpose Zeners, the BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 offers AEC-Q101 qualification and 150 W surge capability-making it ideal for reference applications in automotive and industrial environments where long-term stability and fault resilience are required. The BZD27B5V6P-HE3_A18 also exhibits <10 μA leakage at 4.5 V, minimizing reference current error.
