Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A27-QX from Nexperia is a ±1 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 27 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power biasing, overvoltage clamping, and supply rail stabilization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A27-QX datasheet, BZT52H-A27-QX pinout, BZT52H-A27-QX application, or BZT52H-A27-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal resistance values, differential resistance (250 Ω max), temperature coefficient (±0.05 mV/K), and automotive-grade reliability data - all confirmed from Nexperia's official product data sheet Rev. 1 (October 2021).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode with a tightly controlled 27 V nominal Zener voltage (26.73–27.27 V min/max at IZ = 2 mA) and low dynamic impedance (≤250 Ω). Its ±1 % tolerance ensures precision in voltage reference applications where stability under varying load and temperature is critical.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs, it features a thermal resistance of 150 K/W (junction-to-solder point) and 330 K/W (junction-to-ambient), enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. The device meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for automotive discrete semiconductors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.73–27.27 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for feedback or clamp circuits |
| Tolerance | ±1 % - enables high-accuracy voltage references without post-calibration |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤250 Ω - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load current variation |
| Max Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports robust operation in compact automotive PCB layouts |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | ±0.05 mV/K - guarantees low drift across -65 °C to +150 °C operating range |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤40 μA at VR = 20.3 V - confirms sharp knee and low leakage in standby/clamp states |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - allows efficient forward conduction in dual-direction protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
The BZT52H-A27-QX is housed in a SOD123F surface-mount plastic package (3.4–3.6 mm length × 2.5–2.7 mm width × 1.0–1.2 mm height), optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance on FR4 PCBs with tin-plated copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies cathode for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for Zener operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| SOD123F footprint | Enables high-density layout with standardized reflow soldering per Nexperia's recommended footprint (2.8 × 1.6 mm pad area) |
| Three tolerance grades | ±1 % (A-series), ±2 % (B-series), ~±5 % (C-series) - allows cost/performance trade-off selection within same package |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-sp) = 150 K/W - improves power handling in thermally constrained modules without heatsinking |
| Non-repetitive surge rating | IZSM = 1.0 A (100 μs pulse) - supports transient overvoltage suppression in 12 V/24 V automotive systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B27-Q | ±2 % tolerance (26.5–27.5 V), identical package and power rating | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost in high-volume consumer designs | Select for cost-sensitive applications where ±2 % VZ drift is acceptable under temperature and aging |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | 27 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade equipment; unsuitable for automotive due to missing qualification and lower power rating | Use only in non-automotive, space-constrained designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and 500 mW suffices |
Compared with BZT52H-A27-QX, the BZT52H-B27-Q trades ±1 % precision for broader tolerance at equal automotive qualification, while MMSZ5256ET1G offers footprint compatibility but lacks AEC-Q101 validation and delivers 40 % less power handling - making the original part optimal for safety-critical or thermally demanding automotive regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 20.3 V for BZT52H-A27-QX?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 40 μA at VR = 20.3 V and Tj = 25 °C, confirming low leakage well below the 27 V Zener knee - essential for minimizing standby power loss in always-on automotive modules.
Is BZT52H-A27-QX compatible with standard SOD123 reflow profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method, with validated thermal profile compatibility for SOD123F. The package outline matches IPC-7351B standard SOD-123 footprints, and the recommended solder land is 2.8 mm × 1.6 mm per terminal.
How does the ±1 % tolerance impact regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a temperature coefficient of ±0.05 mV/K and ±1 % initial tolerance, total VZ variation remains within ±1.75 % across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient - verified by Nexperia's characterization data in Tables 9 and 10 of the official datasheet.
Can BZT52H-A27-QX replace older BZT52C27 in existing designs?
Yes - it shares identical SOD123F package, pinout, and 27 V rating, but adds AEC-Q101 qualification, improved thermal resistance (150 K/W vs. typical 200+ K/W), and tighter ±1 % tolerance. No layout changes are needed, and reliability is enhanced for automotive deployment.
