Product details
Overview
BZW06-273 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional 600W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode with a working stand-off voltage of 273 V, breakdown voltage range 304–336 V at 1 mA, and clamping voltage of 438 V at 1.6 A (10/1000 μs). It delivers fast response (<1.0 ps from 0 V to VBR) and low dynamic impedance for automotive-grade surge protection in high-voltage DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZW06-273 datasheet, BZW06-273 pinout, BZW06-273 application, or BZW06-273 equivalent, key selection criteria include its DO-204AC (DO-15) package, AEC-Q101 qualification option (BZW06-273H), 175 °C max junction temperature, and verified clamping performance under 10/1000 μs transients - critical for ESD and load-dump immunity in automotive electronics.
Technical Context
The BZW06-273 operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 304–336 V breakdown threshold. Its low dynamic impedance ensures stable clamping during 600 W peak pulse events, while thermal resistance (RθJL = 60 °C/W) supports reliable power dissipation in constrained PCB layouts.
Designed for single-polarity DC systems, it exhibits <1 μA leakage at 273 V and a temperature coefficient of 0.110 %/°C for VBR, enabling predictable voltage margining across –55 °C to +175 °C operating range without derating ambiguity.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ270A | DO-214AA package; 270 V VWM; 438 V VC @ 1.6 A; same PPK but lower IFSM (100 A vs. BZW06-273's 100 A) | Surface-mount alternative with higher board density; lacks AEC-Q101 option in standard grade | Select when space-constrained PCB layout requires SMD mounting and automotive qualification is not required |
| P6KE270A | DO-15 package; 270 V VWM; 438 V VC @ 1.6 A; 600 W rating; no AEC-Q101 option; higher leakage (5 μA) | Legacy through-hole alternative with identical footprint but no automotive qualification path | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is unnecessary and leakage tolerance >1 μA is acceptable |
Compared with SMBJ270A and P6KE270A, the BZW06-273 offers identical clamping performance and DO-15 compatibility while providing an AEC-Q101-qualified variant (BZW06-273H) - making it the only choice for production automotive systems requiring certified reliability and traceable sourcing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the BZW06-273 under standard 10/1000 μs surge conditions?
The BZW06-273 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 438 V when subjected to a 1.6 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per JEDEC standards and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during surge events. The BZW06-273 maintains this clamping performance consistently across its specified operating temperature range.
Is the BZW06-273 suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes - the BZW06-273H variant is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified and listed in Taiwan Semiconductor's official documentation. The standard BZW06-273 is not qualified, but the 'H' suffix denotes full compliance with stress testing for automotive use. For production automotive systems, specify BZW06-273H to ensure qualification traceability and reliability validation.
What is the leakage current specification for the BZW06-273 at its working stand-off voltage?
The BZW06-273 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 1 μA when biased at its rated working stand-off voltage of 273 V and tested at 25 °C. This ultra-low leakage preserves system efficiency in always-on circuits and prevents unintended discharge in high-impedance monitoring paths. The BZW06-273 maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Does the BZW06-273 have bidirectional capability?
No - the BZW06-273 is a unidirectional TVS diode, designed for DC circuits with defined polarity. Its cathode band marking indicates the protected line connection point. For bidirectional AC or dual-polarity protection, the BZW06-273B variant must be selected - it shares the same voltage ratings but features symmetrical breakdown behavior.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to lead (RθJL) for the BZW06-273?
The BZW06-273 has a junction-to-lead thermal resistance (RθJL) of 60 °C/W, measured under standard test conditions. This parameter enables accurate thermal modeling when the device is mounted with short, wide copper traces acting as heat sinks. The RθJL value is critical for calculating allowable surge repetition rates and ensuring sustained reliability in high-temperature ambient environments.
