Product details
Overview
BZT52HC27WFQ from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 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 operates in automotive power supply regulation and voltage reference circuits where stable clamping under transient conditions is required.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC27WFQ datasheet, BZT52HC27WFQ pinout, BZT52HC27WFQ application, or BZT52HC27WFQ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 27 V zener voltage tolerance, low 0.05 µA reverse leakage at 18.9 V, SOD123F package thermal resistance (150 °C/W on 1 cm² cathode pad), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in DC bias networks and ESD-protected signal rails. Its 27 V breakdown is specified at IZT = 2 mA with TC = +21.4 mV/°C, indicating positive temperature coefficient behavior above 6.2 V.
The device uses a planar epitaxial junction structure in a flat-lead SOD123F package, enabling high power dissipation (830 mW on optimized PCB) and low profile mounting. Cathode band polarity and matte tin-plated terminals ensure reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 25.1–28.9 V at IZT = 2 mA - defines clamping threshold for 27 V nominal rail protection |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 40 Ω at IZT = 2 mA - determines voltage deviation under load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 18.9 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 830 mW on FR-4 with 1 cm² cathode pad - sets maximum continuous clamping energy capability |
| Capacitance (CT) | 50 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits high-frequency signal coupling in RF-adjacent bias lines |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | +21.4 mV/°C at IZT = 2 mA - quantifies voltage drift with ambient temperature change |
| Package | SOD123F - 1.8 mm × 2.7 mm footprint with 0.35–0.85 mm lead length, optimized for automated placement and thermal relief |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5260B-TP (Micro Commercial) | 27 V nominal, ±5%, IZT = 20 mA, ZZT = 35 Ω, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Rated for commercial temperature range only (−65°C to +150°C not validated per AEC-Q101 stress tests) | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and higher test current improves regulation stability |
| BZX84-C27 (Nexperia) | 27 V nominal, ±5%, IZT = 5 mA, ZZT = 70 Ω, SOT23 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation accuracy under varying load; smaller SOT23 limits thermal margin | Choose when board space is constrained and 70 Ω impedance is acceptable for less critical biasing |
Compared with MMSZ5260B-TP and BZX84-C27, BZT52HC27WFQ offers superior thermal performance (830 mW vs. ≤350 mW), lower leakage (0.05 µA vs. ≥0.1 µA), and full AEC-Q101 validation-making it optimal for automotive power rail clamping where reliability and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZT52HC27WFQ under standard PCB conditions?
BZT52HC27WFQ delivers 830 mW maximum power dissipation when mounted on FR-4 with a 1 cm² copper pad on the cathode terminal, per Note 7 in DS41143 Rev. 4-2. With minimum recommended pad layout (Note 6), dissipation drops to 375 mW. Derating begins linearly above +25°C ambient, reaching zero at +150°C.
Does BZT52HC27WFQ have a defined temperature coefficient, and how does it affect circuit design?
Yes, BZT52HC27WFQ has a specified temperature coefficient of +21.4 mV/°C at IZT = 2 mA. This positive TC means its zener voltage increases with rising temperature-critical for designs requiring stable references across −40°C to +125°C automotive ranges. Compensation must be applied in precision bias networks.
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free soldering?
Yes, the SOD123F package uses matte tin annealed terminals compliant with MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and supports JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1. It withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for ≤60 seconds, matching IPC/JEDEC standard lead-free profiles without delamination or solder joint failure.
How is polarity identified on the BZT52HC27WFQ device body?
Polarity is marked by a visible cathode band located at one end of the SOD123F package body. The band corresponds to the cathode terminal, which must be connected to the higher-potential node in zener operation. This marking is verified optically during AOI and aligns with Diodes' standardized SOD123F top-view orientation in DS41143.
