Product details
Overview
BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 6.8 V, ±2 % tolerance, 100 mA test current, and 150 W peak surge power rating (10/1000 μs). It operates as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in automotive power rail protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C max junction temperature, low dynamic resistance (1 Ω typ.), and DO-219AB (SMF) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode functions in reverse-bias regulation mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V at 100 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of 0 to +0.07 %/°C. Its low leakage current (≤10 μA at VR = 5.6 V) and stable dynamic resistance (1 Ω typical) support accurate voltage clamping under transient conditions.
The device meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing and MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, with peak reflow temperature up to 260 °C. Its 150 W non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 μs) and 300 W (100 μs square pulse) enable robust ESD and load-dump protection in automotive ECUs and body control modules.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ6.8A | Higher PPPM (600 W), larger SMB package (4.5 × 3.9 mm), bidirectional configuration | Designed for higher-energy TVS duty; less suitable for precision regulation due to wider VBR tolerance (±5 %) | Select when surge energy exceeds 150 W but precision voltage reference is not required |
| BZX84-C6V8 | SOT-23 package (3.0 × 1.4 mm), lower PRSM (25 W), ±5 % VZ, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Targeted at commercial-grade consumer electronics; lacks automotive reliability validation and surge robustness | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where 175 °C operation and 150 W surge are unnecessary |
Compared with SMBJ6.8A and BZX84-C6V8, the BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 uniquely balances ±2 % voltage accuracy, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 150 W surge capability in a compact DO-219AB package-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive voltage reference and protection nodes where both precision and ruggedness are mandatory.

At IRSM = 13.3 A (10/1000 μs waveform), the BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 clamps to a maximum voltage of 10.9 V, as specified in the protection diode characteristics table on page 3 of Vishay document 85921. This value is measured at Tamb = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events.
Which package does BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package, with mechanical dimensions of 2.7 mm length × 3.5 mm width × 1.08 mm height, per package drawing S8-V-3915.01-001. The cathode is marked by a band on the top surface, and the device is oriented in tape with cathode facing the sprocket holes, as shown in figure 22670.
Does BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 have a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance?
Yes, BZD27B6V8P-HE3_A18 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 180 K/W when mounted on an epoxy-glass PCB with 3 mm × 3 mm copper pads ≥40 μm thick, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of Vishay document 85921.
