Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C27,115 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD123F package, rated for 27 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 2 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It provides stable reference voltage in low-power supply regulation and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C27,115 datasheet, BZT52H-C27,115 pinout, BZT52H-C27,115 application, or BZT52H-C27,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (250 Ω max), reverse current (40 μA max at 1 V), thermal resistance (150 K/W junction-to-solder point), and SOD123F surface-mount compatibility with standard reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 27 V reference across its terminals under regulated current conditions. Its design supports precision voltage clamping and low-drift biasing where moderate accuracy and compact footprint are prioritized over ultra-low temperature coefficient.
It features a cathode-anode two-terminal structure with marking bar indicating cathode polarity, optimized for FR4 PCB mounting with 1 cm² cathode pad for thermal performance. The device is non-automotive qualified and intended for general-purpose industrial and consumer electronics applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.1 V to 28.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines usable regulation range under nominal test current |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤ 250 Ω - limits output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 40 μA at VR = 1 V - ensures low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 150 K/W - quantifies junction-to-solder-point thermal path efficiency for thermal design margining |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - confirms low conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 1.0 A for tp = 100 μs - enables transient surge suppression capability in clamp circuits |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F is a small flat-lead surface-mount plastic package with 2 terminals, 3.4–3.6 mm length, 1.5–1.7 mm width, and 0.55–0.70 mm height. Cathode marked by bar on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias voltage applied here to enable Zener conduction |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables cost-effective voltage reference in non-critical regulation without trimming circuitry |
| 830 mW power rating | Supports up to ~30 mA average Zener current at 27 V, suitable for sensor biasing and signal conditioning |
| SOD123F package footprint | Occupies only 2.8 × 4.4 mm PCB area with 1.2 mm pad spacing - ideal for space-constrained designs |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Allows operation in extended ambient environments (e.g., industrial enclosures) with proper thermal layout |
| Low 40 μA reverse leakage at 1 V | Minimizes quiescent current draw in battery-powered or always-on monitoring circuits |
Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52C27-7-F | Same 27 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, but in SOD123 package (not SOD123F); 1000 mW Ptot rating | Higher power handling allows 37 mA continuous current; slightly larger footprint (3.7 × 1.6 mm vs. 3.5 × 1.6 mm) | Select when higher thermal margin is needed and board space permits SOD123 outline |
| MMSZ5256ET1G | 27 V nominal, ±5 %, SOD123 package, 500 mW Ptot, 300 Ω rdif max | Lower power rating and higher dynamic impedance reduce regulation stability under varying loads | Choose only for legacy compatibility where 500 mW suffices and existing footprint matches |
Compared with BZT52H-C27,115, BZT52C27-7-F offers greater thermal headroom in identical function but requires footprint revision, while MMSZ5256ET1G trades regulation precision and power capacity for broader distributor availability - making the Nexperia part optimal for new designs demanding SOD123F compactness and 830 mW capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZT52H-C27,115 at 25 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 25 °C and with recommended FR4 PCB layout (1 cm² cathode pad), the device supports up to 30.7 mA continuous Zener current, calculated from Ptot = 830 mW ÷ VZ(max) = 830 mW ÷ 28.9 V. Derating is required above 25 °C per the 150 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance.
Can BZT52H-C27,115 be used in automotive applications?
No. This part is explicitly non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's revision history (Rev. 7, January 2023), which states that BZT52H series products changed to non-automotive qualification. Automotive alternatives must be selected from Nexperia's -Q qualified portfolio, such as PZT52H-C27-Q series.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect regulation accuracy in a 27 V reference circuit?
The ±5 % tolerance means the actual Zener voltage falls between 25.1 V and 28.9 V at IZ = 2 mA. In practice, this results in ±3.4 V worst-case deviation from nominal, limiting use to applications where absolute voltage accuracy is secondary to cost and size - e.g., coarse overvoltage detection rather than precision DAC reference.
What is the significance of the 'C' in BZT52H-C27,115?
The 'C' denotes the ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance grade within the BZT52H series. 'A' indicates ±1 %, 'B' indicates ±2 %, and 'C' indicates approximately ±5 %. This grading directly determines the allowable VZ spread (25.1 V to 28.9 V) and is laser-trimmed during production.
