Product details
Overview
BZD27C43PW from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 W, 43 V ±5% silicon Zener diode in SOD-123W package, designed for precision voltage regulation and transient overvoltage protection in power supply rails and reference circuits. It delivers 40.9–45.2 V zener voltage at 10 mA test current, 60.7 V clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge, and exhibits low leakage (≤2.5 µA at 33 V) with ±0.08–0.13 %/°C temperature coefficient.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27C43PW datasheet, BZD27C43PW pinout, BZD27C43PW application, or BZD27C43PW equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance (45 Ω max), surge capability (100 W PRSM), thermal resistance (RθJA = 85 °C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial and automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The BZD27C43PW operates as a single-die, unidirectional Zener diode optimized for stable DC voltage reference and bidirectional transient suppression. Its SOD-123W package enables high power density (1.0 W at 25°C, derated to 2.3 W at 80°C lead temperature) and supports surge handling up to 100 W (10/1000 µs) for systems exposed to ESD or load dump events.
It features low leakage current (≤2.5 µA at VR = 33 V), tight zener voltage tolerance (±5% nominal), and predictable temperature drift (αVZ = +0.08 to +0.13 %/°C), enabling reliable performance across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range without external compensation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BZT52-C43S | Same 43 V nominal VZ, but SOD-323 package (smaller footprint, lower Ptot = 0.5 W) | Limited to lower-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for 1 W continuous regulation | Select BZD27C43PW when ≥1 W dissipation or 100 W surge capability is required |
| Vishay PLZ43 | 43 V VZ, SOD-123 package (not SOD-123W), Ptot = 1.0 W, but PRSM = 40 W (10/1000 µs) | Lower surge immunity; not rated for automotive load-dump per ISO 7637-2 | Choose BZD27C43PW where 100 W transient handling and AEC-Q200-aligned reliability are mandatory |
Compared with BZT52-C43S and PLZ43, the BZD27C43PW uniquely combines 1 W continuous power, 100 W surge rating, and SOD-123W mechanical robustness-making it optimal for industrial power rails and automotive body electronics requiring long-term stability and high-energy transient resilience.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZD27C43PW?
The BZD27C43PW has a zener voltage range of 40.9 V to 45.2 V at 10 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 43 V rating. This tolerance is guaranteed per Taiwan Semiconductor's D2203 specification sheet and applies under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C). The BZD27C43PW maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range without binning or sorting.
Does BZD27C43PW support automotive-grade surge requirements?
Yes, the BZD27C43PW is rated for 100 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (PRSM) under 10/1000 µs waveform-meeting common automotive load-dump immunity requirements per ISO 7637-2. Its SOD-123W package, 175°C max junction temperature, and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance further align with AEC-Q200 stress test profiles. The BZD27C43PW is widely deployed in body control modules and infotainment power rails.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of BZD27C43PW during surge events?
The BZD27C43PW exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 60.7 V under 10/1000 µs transient waveform at rated surge current. This value is measured per Taiwan Semiconductor's D2203 datasheet and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during standardized surge events. The BZD27C43PW achieves this while maintaining 100 W peak power handling and thermal stability up to 175°C junction temperature.
Can BZD27C43PW be used in place of older BZD27C43 models?
Yes, the BZD27C43PW replaces legacy BZD27C43 variants with identical electrical specifications and enhanced packaging: SOD-123W offers improved thermal performance (RθJA = 85 °C/W vs. ~100 °C/W for standard SOD-123) and moisture resistance (MSL Level 1). The BZD27C43PW retains the same marking code Q0, pinout, and footprint-enabling drop-in replacement without layout changes in existing designs.
What is the leakage current specification for BZD27C43PW at 33 V reverse bias?
The BZD27C43PW specifies a maximum leakage current (IR) of 2.5 µA when reverse biased at 33 V (77% of nominal VZ). This value is verified per Taiwan Semiconductor's D2203 datasheet and reflects low standby power consumption critical for battery-powered instrumentation and always-on monitoring circuits. The BZD27C43PW maintains this leakage performance across its full operating temperature range (–55°C to +175°C).
