Product details
Overview
BZV49-C27,115 from Nexperia is a medium-power Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT89 package, designed for precision DC voltage reference and regulation in power supply feedback paths. It delivers a nominal 27 V working voltage at 2 mA test current, with ±5% tolerance, 25 Ω typical differential resistance, and −1.0 mV/K temperature coefficient. Used in industrial power supplies and automotive sensor biasing circuits where stable 27 V reference is required.
For engineers reviewing the BZV49-C27,115 datasheet, BZV49-C27,115 pinout, BZV49-C27,115 application, or BZV49-C27,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy at low test current (2 mA), thermal resistance (125 K/W junction-to-ambient), non-repetitive peak reverse power capability (40 W), and SOT89 thermal pad layout compatibility for PCB heat dissipation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and input conditions. Its 27 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZtest = 2 mA, with differential resistance of 25 Ω (typ) ensuring minimal voltage shift under current variation.
The device features a negative temperature coefficient of −1.0 mV/K, indicating voltage decreases slightly with rising junction temperature - critical for thermal drift compensation in precision references. It is rated for 1 W total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient when mounted on a 2.5 cm² ceramic substrate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 25.1–28.9 V at IZ = 2 mA; ensures stable 27 V reference within ±5% tolerance band |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 25 Ω (typ); limits output voltage variation to ~50 mV per 2 mA load change |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | −1.0 mV/K (typ); enables predictable thermal drift correction in closed-loop designs |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 1 W at Tamb = 25 °C; requires thermal pad layout per SOT89 footprint for reliable operation |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power PZSM | 40 W for 100 μs; supports transient overvoltage clamping in surge-protected inputs |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150 °C max; defines maximum allowable die temperature before parametric shift or failure |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 20.3 V; ensures negligible leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 (SC-62), plastic surface-mounted package with exposed collector pad for enhanced thermal conduction. Dimensions: 4.6 × 2.6 × 1.6 mm (L × W × H), with 3 leads and 1.5 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; forms cathode-anode voltage drop during regulation |
| 2 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; carries full Zener current and must route to ground or return path with low inductance |
| 3 | Anode | Electrically tied to Pin 1; provides second anode connection for mechanical stability and improved thermal coupling to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| E24 ±5% voltage grading | Enables precise binning across 37 types (2.4–75 V); simplifies inventory management for multi-rail systems |
| SOT89 thermal pad | Reduces Rth(j-a) to 125 K/W; allows 1 W continuous dissipation without heatsink in standard FR4 layouts |
| Low leakage at 75% VZ | IR ≤ 0.05 μA at 20.3 V ensures <1 nW standby loss in battery-backed reference circuits |
| Controlled tempco | −1.0 mV/K typ enables first-order thermal compensation when paired with positive-coefficient components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27 | Same 27 V Zener voltage but in SOT23 package; higher rdif (40 Ω typ) and no thermal pad | Limited to ≤300 mW continuous dissipation; unsuitable for >100 mA regulation loads | Select when board space is constrained and thermal load is <300 mW |
| MMSZ5252B | 27 V Zener in SOD-123; 100 mW Ptot, 35 Ω rdif, no thermal pad | Only suitable for signal-level referencing (<5 mA), not power regulation | Select only for low-current biasing where 1 W capability is unnecessary |
Compared with BZX84-C27 and MMSZ5252B, the BZV49-C27,115 uniquely supports 1 W continuous regulation with SOT89 thermal pad integration - making it the sole choice for industrial 27 V rail stabilization requiring both precision and power handling.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZV49-C27,115?
The device supports up to 250 mA continuous forward current (IF), but in Zener regulation mode, maximum continuous reverse current is derived from Ptot = 1 W and VZ ≈ 27 V, yielding ~37 mA. Exceeding this risks thermal runaway unless PCB thermal design reduces Rth(j-a).
Can BZV49-C27,115 be used in parallel for higher current handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative tempco and manufacturing spread, causing current hogging in parallel configurations. Use a single device with appropriate heatsinking or select a higher-power alternative like BZX85-C27 in TO-220 if >37 mA continuous regulation is needed.
Is the SOT89 thermal pad electrically isolated?
Yes - the exposed pad (Pin 3) is internally connected to Pin 1 (anode), not cathode or ground. It must be soldered to a dedicated copper pour tied to the anode net to avoid short circuits while enabling thermal conduction.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for optimal thermal performance?
Use the official Nexperia SOT89 outline (SOT89-3) with ≥25 mm² copper area connected directly to the thermal pad, 2–4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to inner ground plane, and minimum 0.5 mm solder mask opening around the pad to maximize solder wetting and thermal transfer.
