Product details
Overview
BZD27B8V2P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is an AEC-Q101 qualified, surface-mount silicon planar Zener diode with nominal 8.2 V breakdown voltage (±2 % tolerance), 100 mA test current, and 150 W non-repetitive peak surge power rating in a DO-219AB (SMF) package. It delivers stable voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in automotive power rails and industrial DC supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B8V2P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B8V2P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B8V2P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B8V2P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2 % VZ tolerance at 100 mA, 11.8 V clamping voltage at 12.2 A surge current, -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode for precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamping. Its low dynamic resistance (2 Ω typical at IZT = 100 mA) and tight ±2 % VZ tolerance support stable regulation under varying load conditions.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 qualification, JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing, and ESD robustness (>8 kV HBM). The device sustains 150 W peak surge power (10/1000 μs waveform) and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.03 to +0.08 %/°C across its operating range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0A | TVS diode with 8.0 V standoff, 13.6 V clamping, 600 W peak power - higher surge capacity but looser voltage tolerance (±5 %) | Preferred for high-energy transient suppression where clamping voltage margin >1.8 V is acceptable | Select when surge energy exceeds 150 W but precision regulation is secondary to robustness |
| BZX84-C8V2 | SOT-23 Zener with 8.2 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 300 mW power - smaller package, lower surge rating (40 W), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Suitable for space-constrained consumer electronics where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs requiring only basic voltage reference functionality |
Compared with BZD27B8V2P-HE3_A18, SMBJ8.0A offers superior surge handling but sacrifices voltage accuracy and temperature stability, while BZX84-C8V2 reduces size and cost at the expense of automotive reliability and surge capability.
