Product details
Overview
BZD27C22PWH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 W, 22 V ±5% Zener diode in SOD-123W package, designed for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in automotive and industrial power rails. It delivers 22 V nominal Zener voltage at 25 mA test current, 15 Ω dynamic impedance, and clamps to 31.0 V under 10/1000 µs surge (IRSM), supporting AEC-Q101 qualified systems.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27C22PWH datasheet, BZD27C22PWH pinout, BZD27C22PWH application, or BZD27C22PWH equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), low leakage (<1.0 µA at VR = 16 V), thermal stability (αVZ = 0.06–0.11 %/°C), and surge capability (PRSM = 150 W for 10/1000 µs waveform).
Technical Context
The BZD27C22PWH operates as a single-die, silicon-based Zener diode with cathode-band polarity indication and optimized junction-to-lead thermal resistance (22 °C/W). Its design targets stable reference generation and fast clamping response in DC power conditioning circuits.
It supports operation across –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, and features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards - enabling robust reflow assembly in high-reliability applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.9–23.1 V @ IZT = 25 mA - tight 5% tolerance ensures accurate voltage reference in feedback loops. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1.0 W at TA = 25°C (Cu pad 5 mm × 5 mm) - defines continuous steady-state thermal limit. |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 150 W @ 10/1000 µs waveform - enables robust ESD and load-dump protection in 12 V automotive systems. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 15 Ω @ IZT = 25 mA - low dynamic impedance maintains regulation accuracy under varying load currents. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 31.0 V @ IRSM - peak voltage during surge limits stress on downstream ICs and passives. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <1.0 µA @ VR = 16 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or low-power circuits. |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | 0.06–0.11 %/°C - predictable drift enables stable reference performance across wide ambient ranges. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123W - low-profile surface-mount case with UL 94V-0 molding compound, 0.016 g weight, and cathode band polarity marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JESD22-A114. |
| Low-profile SOD-123W package | Enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with standard 0805 footprint reflow profiles. |
| Junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) | 22 °C/W - improves thermal coupling to copper pour, supporting sustained 1 W operation without derating. |
| Moisture sensitivity level 1 | Eliminates bake requirements before reflow, reducing manufacturing cost and process complexity. |
| Halogen-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and EU Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally constrained supply chains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BZT52C22S | Same SOD-123 package, 22 V nominal, but higher ZZT (30 Ω vs. 15 Ω) and lower PRSM (100 W vs. 150 W). | Limited to lower-energy surge environments; less suitable for automotive load-dump compliance. | Prefer BZD27C22PWH where tighter regulation and higher surge margin are required. |
| Vishay PLZ22 | SOD-123W package, 22 V, but not AEC-Q101 qualified; higher leakage (≤5 µA vs. ≤1 µA) and no MSL1 rating. | Restricted to commercial-grade applications; unsuitable for automotive or harsh-environment deployment. | Select BZD27C22PWH for mission-critical or automotive-qualified designs requiring full reliability validation. |
Compared with BZT52C22S and PLZ22, the BZD27C22PWH offers superior surge robustness (150 W PRSM), lower dynamic impedance (15 Ω), and full AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial systems demanding long-term parametric stability and fault resilience.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZD27C22PWH?
The BZD27C22PWH has a Zener voltage range of 20.9 V to 23.1 V at IZT = 25 mA, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 22 V rating. This tight tolerance ensures consistent regulation performance across production lots and temperature extremes, critical for feedback loop stability in power supplies.
Is BZD27C22PWH suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the BZD27C22PWH is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures from –55 °C to +175 °C. Its 150 W surge capability (10/1000 µs), MSL1 moisture rating, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance make it suitable for under-hood and body-control applications in passenger vehicles and commercial fleets.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZD27C22PWH during surge events?
The BZD27C22PWH clamps to a maximum of 31.0 V under a 10/1000 µs waveform at rated surge current (IRSM). This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient overvoltage conditions such as load dump or inductive switching.
Does BZD27C22PWH require special handling for moisture sensitivity?
No - the BZD27C22PWH is rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (MSL1) per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to reflow soldering. This eliminates moisture-related popcorning risk and simplifies manufacturing logistics for high-volume SMT assembly.
How does the thermal performance of BZD27C22PWH compare to standard SOD-123 Zeners?
The BZD27C22PWH features a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 22 °C/W - significantly lower than typical SOD-123 devices (~40–50 °C/W). This enhanced thermal path allows sustained 1 W dissipation with minimal temperature rise when mounted on a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad, improving long-term reliability in thermally constrained layouts.
