Product details
Overview
BZD27C11PW from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 11 V, 1 W surface-mount Zener diode in SOD-123W package, rated for 50 mA test current (IZT), 15.7 V clamping voltage (Vc) at 9.6 A surge current, and ±0.05–0.10 %/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27C11PW datasheet, BZD27C11PW pinout, BZD27C11PW application, or BZD27C11PW equivalent, this part supports stable reference generation, transient suppression in low-power industrial sensors, and compact voltage-clamp circuits where thermal resistance (RθJA = 85 °C/W) and moisture sensitivity level 1 compliance are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The BZD27C11PW operates as a single-die silicon Zener diode with sharp reverse breakdown at nominal 11 V, specified under 50 mA test current and 25 °C ambient. Its 1 W steady-state power rating is derated linearly above 25 °C, supported by RθJA = 85 °C/W and RθJL = 22 °C/W.
It delivers 15.7 V clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge waveform at 9.6 A peak current, with leakage current ≤4.0 µA at 8.2 V and dynamic impedance ZZT ≤7 Ω at IZT - enabling fast response and low noise in reference and protection roles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage (VZ) | 10.5–11.6 V at 50 mA - tight 5% tolerance enables accurate 11 V rail stabilization without external trimming. |
| Power dissipation (Ptot) | 1.0 W at 25 °C (derated to 0 W at 175 °C) - defines maximum continuous heat load on PCB copper pad (5 mm × 5 mm). |
| Clamping voltage (Vc) | 15.7 V at 9.6 A, 10/1000 µs - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream 12–15 V logic or analog circuitry. |
| Zener impedance (ZZT) | ≤7 Ω at 50 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under varying load current in reference applications. |
| Leakage current (IR) | ≤4.0 µA at 8.2 V - guarantees negligible standby power loss and high DC accuracy in battery-powered systems. |
| Temp. coeff. (αVZ) | +0.05 to +0.10 %/°C - predictable positive drift allows compensation in temperature-critical references. |
| Junction temp. range | −55 to +175 °C - supports operation in automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BZT52C11S | Same 11 V nominal Zener, SOD-323 package (smaller footprint), 500 mW Ptot, higher ZZT (≤20 Ω). | Limited to lower-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 1 W continuous regulation or high-surge scenarios. | Select BZT52C11S only when board space is constrained and thermal load is <0.5 W. |
| Vishay PLZ11 | 11 V Zener, DO-35 through-hole package, 1 W Ptot, 1000 h life test, but no MSL Level 1 rating. | Requires wave soldering; incompatible with automated SMT lines and moisture-sensitive assembly environments. | Choose PLZ11 only for legacy through-hole designs or high-reliability MIL-spec programs requiring long-term burn-in data. |
Compared with BZD27C11PW, BZT52C11S trades thermal robustness and surge capacity for miniaturization, while PLZ11 sacrifices SMT compatibility and moisture resilience for proven field longevity - making BZD27C11PW optimal for modern high-volume industrial SMT production requiring both 1 W regulation and 150 W transient suppression.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZD27C11PW?
The BZD27C11PW has a Zener voltage range of 10.5 V to 11.6 V at 50 mA test current (IZT), corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 11 V rating. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table (Version D2203, Page 3) and ensures predictable regulation behavior in precision reference applications.
Can BZD27C11PW be used for transient voltage suppression?
Yes, BZD27C11PW is rated for 150 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (10/1000 µs waveform) and clamps at 15.7 V under 9.6 A surge current. These values are explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Page 1) and make it suitable for ESD and surge protection in low-energy interfaces like sensor inputs or USB VBUS lines.
What is the thermal resistance of BZD27C11PW and how does it affect layout?
BZD27C11PW has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 85 °C/W when mounted on a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad. This value - listed in the Thermal Performance table (Page 2) - means that at 1 W dissipation, junction temperature rises ~85 °C above ambient; thus, adequate copper area and airflow are essential to keep TJ ≤175 °C.
Is BZD27C11PW RoHS and halogen-free compliant?
Yes, BZD27C11PW meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the FEATURES section (Page 1). It also carries moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) per J-STD-020, allowing unlimited floor life before reflow soldering.
What is the leakage current specification for BZD27C11PW at 8.2 V?
The leakage current (IR) of BZD27C11PW is guaranteed ≤4.0 µA at 8.2 V reverse voltage, as documented in the Electrical Specifications table (Version D2203, Page 4). This low leakage supports high-impedance reference circuits and minimizes standby power loss in battery-operated systems.
