Product details
Overview
BZD27C180P from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 W, 180 V nominal Zener diode in Sub SMA package, with zener voltage tolerance ±5.5% (168–191 V), differential resistance 280 Ω at 5 mA test current, and temperature coefficient 0.09%/°C - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27C180P datasheet, BZD27C180P pinout, BZD27C180P application, or BZD27C180P equivalent, key selection criteria include its 130 V reverse voltage rating, 1 μA max reverse leakage at VR = 130 V, 450 Ω max surge resistance, and suitability for high-stability regulation in compact SMT designs.
Technical Context
The BZD27C180P operates as a single-die, unidirectional silicon Zener diode optimized for stable voltage clamping and reference generation under DC and transient conditions. Its design supports low-leakage operation (≤1 μA at 130 V) and maintains thermal stability up to TJ = 175 °C.
It features a Sub SMA surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, moisture sensitivity level 1 (J-STD-020), and UL 94V-0 molding compound - enabling reliable reflow assembly and long-term reliability in harsh ambient environments.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZD27C180P?
The BZD27C180P has a zener voltage range of 168 V to 191 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5.5% tolerance around the nominal 179.5 V value. This specification is verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's AB2103 datasheet revision and applies under standard test conditions (TA = 25 °C). The BZD27C180P maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Can BZD27C180P be used in place of BZD27C200P?
No - the BZD27C180P (168–191 V) and BZD27C200P (188–212 V) have non-overlapping zener voltage ranges and different surge ratings (100 W vs. 150 W for 10/1000 μs). Substituting BZD27C180P for BZD27C200P would result in premature clamping and potential system malfunction. Always verify voltage thresholds and pulse ratings before cross-replacement. The BZD27C180P must be selected only where its exact 179.5 V nominal value is required.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZD27C180P?
The BZD27C180P specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 μA at VR = 130 V and TA = 25 °C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official AB2103 datasheet. Leakage remains below 5 μA up to TJ = 125 °C, supporting low-power standby operation in industrial control systems using the BZD27C180P.
Does BZD27C180P meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes - the BZD27C180P is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as stated in the Features section of Taiwan Semiconductor's AB2103 datasheet. The Sub SMA package uses lead-free matte tin plating and UL 94V-0 compliant molding compound. These compliance attributes are certified for the BZD27C180P and apply to all units shipped under standard ordering code BZD27C180P.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for BZD27C180P?
The BZD27C180P has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 88 °C/W when mounted on a 5 mm × 5 mm copper pad, per the Thermal Performance table in the AB2103 datasheet. This value is measured under standardized JEDEC test conditions and directly informs derating calculations for the BZD27C180P in real-world PCB layouts.
