Product details
Overview
BZD27C91PW from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 1 W, 91 V ±5% silicon Zener diode in SOD-123W package, rated for 5 mA test current, 126 V clamping voltage under 10/1000 µs surge, and 1.2 µA leakage at 73 V, used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZD27C91PW datasheet, BZD27C91PW pinout, BZD27C91PW application, or BZD27C91PW equivalent, key selection factors include zener tolerance (±5%), low leakage (<1.2 µA), high surge capability (100 W PRSM), thermal resistance (RθJA = 85 °C/W), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for industrial-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The BZD27C91PW operates as a single-die, unidirectional Zener diode with cathode-band polarity indication and optimized for stable reverse-bias regulation. Its 91 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA IZT, with dynamic impedance of 200 Ω and temperature coefficient of +0.09 to +0.13 %/°C.
It delivers 100 W non-repetitive peak pulse power (10/1000 µs) for transient suppression and maintains junction temperature within −55 °C to +175 °C. The SOD-123W package enables surface-mount assembly with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 86.5–95.6 V @ 5 mA - tight 5% tolerance ensures accurate reference in feedback loops |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 1.0 W @ 25°C ambient - supports continuous regulation without forced cooling on 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad |
| Clamping Voltage VC | 126 V @ 10/1000 µs waveform - defines maximum transient voltage seen by protected circuitry |
| Leakage Current IR | ≤1.2 µA @ 73 V - minimizes standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks |
| Zener Impedance ZZT | 200 Ω @ 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |

Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Industrial Sensor Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing optocoupler-based feedback voltage in isolated AC/DC adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt voltage reference providing precise 91 V threshold for TL431-compatible error amplification. Use Value: Tight 5% VZ tolerance and low 200 Ω impedance maintain <±1% output regulation across line/load variations. |
Use Scenario: Generating stable excitation voltage for RTD or strain gauge bridges in PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage reference source replacing higher-cost IC references where 1% accuracy suffices. Use Value: ≤1.2 µA leakage avoids loading high-impedance bridge nodes; 175°C max junction temp supports extended field operation. |
| Overvoltage Protection Clamp | DC Bus Voltage Monitor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BZT03-C91 | Same 91 V nominal, but 1.3 W Ptot, 400 Ω ZZT, SOD-57 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA) | Higher power margin but less board-space efficient; not drop-in due to different package and thermal profile | Select BZT03-C91 only if >1 W continuous dissipation is required and PCB layout accommodates SOD-57 |
| Vishay BZX84-C91 | Same 91 V nominal, 300 mW Ptot, 250 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package (smaller, lower surge rating: 40 W PRSM) | Lower surge immunity and power handling; unsuitable for 100 W transient clamping scenarios | Choose BZX84-C91 only for space-constrained, low-energy signal-level referencing-not for power rail protection |
Compared with BZT03-C91 and BZX84-C91, the BZD27C91PW uniquely balances 1 W continuous power, 100 W surge capability, and SOD-123W compactness-making it optimal for industrial power supply reference and clamp functions where both precision and ruggedness are required.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZD27C91PW?
The BZD27C91PW has a zener voltage range of 86.5 V to 95.6 V at 5 mA test current, corresponding to a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 91 V rating. This is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table (Version D2203, Page 3) and ensures predictable regulation in feedback and reference applications.
Does BZD27C91PW support high-surge applications?
Yes, the BZD27C91PW supports high-surge applications with a non-repetitive peak pulse power dissipation (PRSM) of 100 W for 10/1000 µs waveforms, as specified for the BZD27C110PW–BZD27C220PW subgroup. This makes it suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 transient suppression in industrial power rails.
What is the maximum junction temperature for BZD27C91PW?
The BZD27C91PW has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of +175 °C and a minimum of −55 °C, enabling operation in harsh thermal environments such as motor drives and under-hood automotive systems. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient per the steady-state power derating curve.
Is BZD27C91PW halogen-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the BZD27C91PW is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section (Version D2203, Page 1). These certifications are verified through material declarations and apply to the full BZD27C11PW–BZD27C220PW family.
What package type does BZD27C91PW use and what are its mounting requirements?
The BZD27C91PW uses the SOD-123W surface-mount package with matte tin-plated leads solderable per J-STD-002. Recommended pad layout and thermal relief are provided in the PACKAGE OUTLINE DIMENSIONS section (Version D2203, Page 6); mounting requires a 5 mm × 5 mm Cu pad for full 1.0 W power dissipation at 25 °C ambient.
