Product details
Overview
BZT52HC27WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 27 V, ±5% tolerance (25.1–28.9 V), 2 mA test current, 40 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA, and 50 pF capacitance at 1 MHz. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog monitoring circuits, such as overvoltage protection for microcontroller I/O rails and reference voltage generation in sensor signal conditioning stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC27WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC27WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC27WF-7 application, or BZT52HC27WF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature (TC = +21.4 mV/°C), low leakage (<0.05 µA at 18.9 V), SOD123F package thermal performance (RθJA = 150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp or regulate voltage at its specified VZ. Its positive temperature coefficient (+21.4 mV/°C) ensures predictable drift in high-temperature environments, enabling stable reference design without external compensation. The device uses a planar epitaxial construction optimized for low noise and repeatable breakdown characteristics.
Designed for surface-mount assembly on FR-4 PCBs, it delivers 830 mW power dissipation when mounted with a 1 cm² copper pad-nearly 2.2× higher than standard SOD123F derating-supporting robust transient suppression in space-constrained automotive and industrial control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.1–28.9 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines clamping threshold for 24 V system overvoltage protection |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines regulation stiffness under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.05 µA at VR = 18.9 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Capacitance (CT) | 50 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in precision analog front-ends |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 830 mW with 1 cm² cathode pad - enables sustained clamping during repetitive transients without thermal runaway |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +21.4 mV/°C at IZ = 2 mA - allows accurate prediction of VZ shift from −40°C to +125°C |
| Package | SOD123F (Type B) - 1.8 mm × 2.7 mm footprint with flat lead design for low profile and enhanced thermal conduction |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F (Type B) is a surface-mount plastic package with two terminals: anode and cathode marked by a band. The flat lead design improves heat transfer to PCB copper and reduces profile height to 1.15 mm max.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference ground node in shunt regulator configuration | Connected to system ground or lowest potential point; establishes return path for zener current |
| Cathode (banded end) | Voltage sensing and clamping node | Connected to protected rail; conducts when voltage exceeds VZ, diverting excess current to ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics requiring high-reliability voltage references |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" compound | Meets JESD22-A112 for material content; <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - supports RoHS 2 and ELV compliance |
| Low-profile SOD123F package | Height ≤1.15 mm - enables use in ultra-thin consumer wearables and compact automotive sensors |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 | No floor life limitation before reflow - eliminates baking requirements and simplifies SMT line logistics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5262BT1G | Zener voltage 27 V ±5%, but rated at IZ = 20 mA; ZZT = 35 Ω - lower impedance but higher test current shifts operating point | Requires higher bias current; less suitable for µA-level sleep-mode circuits | Select when higher power handling (500 mW) and tighter VZ distribution are prioritized over low-leakage operation |
| BZX84-C27 | SOT-23 package; VZ = 27 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA; ZZT = 80 Ω - larger impedance and different thermal resistance (RθJA = 300 °C/W) | Higher self-heating risk under sustained clamp; unsuitable for high-ambient automotive under-hood use | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not required and board space permits SOT-23 |
Compared with MMSZ5262BT1G and BZX84-C27, BZT52HC27WF-7 offers superior thermal performance (RθJA = 150 °C/W), lower leakage (<0.05 µA), and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the optimal choice for automotive and industrial systems demanding long-term stability and low-power operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZT52HC27WF-7 on a standard FR-4 PCB?
The device dissipates up to 830 mW when mounted with a 1 cm² copper pad on FR-4, per Note 7 in DS36891 Rev. 4-2. Without the extended pad, power rating drops to 375 mW (Note 6). Derating begins linearly above +25°C ambient, reaching zero at +150°C.
Does BZT52HC27WF-7 have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes-the cathode is marked by a visible band on the SOD123F package body. Per mechanical data, this band aligns with the cathode terminal, which must connect to the higher-potential node in shunt regulation configurations. The anode is unmarked and connects to ground or reference potential.
Is BZT52HC27WF-7 suitable for use in high-frequency signal paths?
Its 50 pF junction capacitance at 0 V reverse bias limits use above ~3 MHz in AC-coupled applications. However, it remains effective for DC biasing, voltage reference, and transient suppression below 100 kHz. For RF bypass, a dedicated low-CJ diode like BAS16 is recommended.
How does the +21.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
This positive TC means VZ increases predictably with temperature-enabling compensation of negative-drift components (e.g., op-amp input offset) in precision references. Designers can calculate VZ at any TJ using ΔVZ = +21.4 mV/°C × (TJ − 25°C), critical for automotive under-hood applications spanning −40°C to +125°C.
