Product details
Overview
BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount, AEC-Q101-qualified Zener diode with nominal breakdown voltage of 91 V, ±2 % tolerance, 5 mA test current, and 122 V clamping voltage at 75 A surge current. It delivers 150 W non-repetitive peak surge power (10/1000 μs) and operates across -65 °C to +175 °C for automotive power rail protection.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 datasheet, BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 pinout, BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 application, or BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-219AB (SMF) package, low dynamic resistance (60 Ω), positive temperature coefficient (+0.09 to +0.13 %/°C), and compliance with JESD201 Class 2 whisker testing and MSL Level 1 reflow requirements.
Technical Context
This unidirectional Zener diode functions as a precision voltage reference and transient voltage suppressor in high-reliability DC power systems. Its design integrates low leakage (<5 μA at VR = 75 V), stable 91 V regulation under 5 mA bias, and robust surge handling per IEC 60-1 (10/1000 μs waveform).
The device uses silicon planar technology in an eSMP® SMF (DO-219AB) package with 1.9 mm × 1.7 mm footprint and 0.85 mm height. Thermal resistance is 30 K/W junction-to-lead and 180 K/W junction-to-ambient on 3 mm × 3 mm Cu pads, enabling operation up to TJ = 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 89.18 V min. / 91 V nom. / 92.82 V max. - tight ±2 % tolerance ensures stable regulation in feedback loops and reference circuits. |
| Test Current (IZT) | 5 mA - defines operating point for specified VZ; enables low-power biasing in sensor supply rails. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 122 V at IRSM = 75 A - limits transient overvoltage during load dump or inductive switching events. |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 150 W (10/1000 μs) - sustains automotive ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a without degradation. |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 60 Ω max. at IZT = 5 mA - minimizes voltage shift under varying load currents in precision references. |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.09 to +0.13 %/°C - predictable positive drift supports thermal compensation in wide-temperature designs. |
| Junction Temperature (TJ) | 175 °C max. - enables placement near hot components in engine control units and battery management systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-219AB (SMF), low-profile surface-mount case with cathode marking on top surface; dimensions 2.9 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.85 mm; compatible with standard SOD-123W footprint layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ90A-E3/52 (Vishay) | TVS diode, 90 V standoff, 100 W peak power (10/1000 μs), bidirectional | Designed for fast transient suppression only-not for precision regulation due to wider VBR tolerance (±5 %) | Select when primary need is surge immunity rather than stable DC reference; not suitable for feedback loops. |
| P6SMB91A (ON Semiconductor) | 600 W peak power TVS, 91 V breakdown, ±5 % tolerance, DO-214AA package | Larger footprint (4.6 mm × 3.9 mm) and higher clamping ratio (132 V at 43.5 A) reduce board density and increase stress on protected ICs | Choose only if legacy DO-214AA layout exists; requires PCB redesign to fit BZD27B91P-HE3_A18's DO-219AB footprint. |
Compared with SMBJ90A-E3/52 and P6SMB91A, BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 offers tighter voltage tolerance, lower clamping voltage, smaller DO-219AB package, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-precision automotive and industrial regulation where both stability and surge resilience are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 under surge conditions?
The BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 122 V at a peak surge current (IRSM) of 75 A using the 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 60-1 and ensures reliable protection of downstream 100 V-rated components during automotive load dump events. The BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "-HE3" suffix in its ordering code. It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD (HBM >8 kV, MM >800 V). The BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 is approved for use in engine control units, battery management systems, and ADAS power supplies where automotive-grade reliability is mandatory.
What package type does BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 uses the DO-219AB (SMF) package, a low-profile surface-mount outline measuring 2.9 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.85 mm. Its footprint matches SOD-123W layouts, and it features a cathode band on the top surface. The BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 is rated MSL Level 1 and supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C without preconditioning.
How does the temperature coefficient of BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 affect its regulation accuracy?
The BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.09 to +0.13 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. This allows designers to compensate for thermal drift in precision reference circuits. For example, over a 100 °C rise (25 °C to 125 °C), VZ shifts by ~9–13 V-information used in feedback network design to maintain system-level accuracy. The BZD27B91P-HE3_A18's stable TC supports operation up to 175 °C.
Can BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 be used as both a voltage reference and a transient suppressor?
Yes, BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 is engineered for dual functionality: as a precision shunt regulator (with ±2 % VZ tolerance and 60 Ω dynamic resistance) and as a transient voltage suppressor (with 150 W 10/1000 μs surge rating and 122 V clamping). Its low leakage (<5 μA) and stable TC make it suitable for reference roles, while its rugged construction and AEC-Q101 qualification support surge protection in automotive and industrial power rails. The BZD27B91P-HE3_A18 performs both functions without compromise.
