Product details
Overview
BZX284-C27,135 from NXP Semiconductors is a ±5% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in a SOD110 ceramic SMD package, rated for 27 V nominal working voltage at 2 mA test current, 400 mW total power dissipation, and 1.0 A non-repetitive peak reverse current. It serves as a precision low-power voltage reference in power supply feedback paths, overvoltage protection circuits, and biasing networks for analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BZX284-C27,135 datasheet, BZX284-C27,135 pinout, BZX284-C27,135 application, or BZX284-C27,135 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (315 K/W), differential resistance (35–250 Ω), temperature coefficient (8 mV/K), and SOD110 package dimensions - all confirmed from NXP's 2002 production data sheet.
Technical Context
The BZX284-C27,135 operates as a two-terminal silicon Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias regulation. Its junction temperature range spans −65 °C to +150 °C, with thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient fixed at 315 K/W when mounted on a 11 × 25 × 1.6 mm PCB per IEC 60134 limiting values.
Regulation performance is defined at 2 mA test current (IZtest), where it achieves 26.5–27.5 V nominal Zener voltage (±5%), 35 Ω typical differential resistance, and +8 mV/K temperature coefficient - confirming positive TC behavior suitable for temperature-compensated reference designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.5–27.5 V at IZ = 2 mA; defines stable regulation point for low-current reference applications. |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 35 Ω (typ), 250 Ω (max) at IZ = 2 mA; determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity. |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +8 mV/K (typ) at IZ = 2 mA; enables predictable voltage drift compensation in wide-temperature environments. |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb = 25 °C; sets maximum continuous DC power handling without derating. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max at VR = 0.7 × VZnom; ensures low leakage in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 1.0 A at tp = 100 μs; supports transient overvoltage clamping in surge protection circuits. |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (Rth j-a) | 315 K/W on specified PCB; governs allowable ambient temperature rise under full power. |
Pinout & Package
SOD110 is a very small ceramic rectangular surface-mounted package with cathode identification mark on top surface. Dimensions: 2.10 × 1.40 × 1.60 mm (L × W × H), with 0.1 mm maximum lead protrusion (y).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (1) | Forward conduction terminal / low-side connection | Connected to ground or lower potential node in shunt regulation topology. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage regulator diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BZT52-C27 | Same SOD-123 package, ±5% tolerance, 27 V nominal, but higher 500 mW Ptot and 600 Ω max rdif. | Higher power rating suits higher-current clamping; higher rdif reduces regulation precision. | Select BZT52-C27 only if >400 mW dissipation or SOD-123 footprint compatibility is required. |
| Vishay BZX84-C27 | SOD-323 package, ±5% tolerance, 27 V nominal, 300 mW Ptot, 100 Ω max rdif, 150 °C Tj max. | Smaller footprint and lower power suit space-constrained portable designs; reduced thermal margin. | Choose BZX84-C27 when board area is critical and peak power remains below 300 mW. |
Compared with BZX284-C27,135, BZT52-C27 offers higher power headroom but looser regulation due to higher rdif, while BZX84-C27 trades thermal robustness and regulation stability for miniaturization - making the BZX284-C27,135 optimal for industrial-grade 27 V references requiring ceramic reliability and 315 K/W thermal control.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the BZX284-C27,135?
The BZX284-C27,135 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its nominal 27 V regulation point falls between 25.65 V and 28.35 V at 2 mA test current. This tolerance is confirmed in Table 2 of the NXP 2002 product data sheet and applies specifically to the 'C' series variant of the BZX284-C27,135.
What package type does the BZX284-C27,135 use?
The BZX284-C27,135 uses the SOD110 package: a very small ceramic rectangular surface-mount device measuring 2.10 × 1.40 × 1.60 mm, with cathode identification marked on the top surface. This is explicitly defined in the "PACKAGE OUTLINE" section (page 8) of the NXP datasheet.
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for the BZX284-C27,135?
The BZX284-C27,135 supports a maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) of 1.0 A at pulse width tp = 100 μs and ambient temperature of 25 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the NXP datasheet. This value enables short-duration transient suppression without device failure.
How does the temperature coefficient of the BZX284-C27,135 affect its regulation stability?
The BZX284-C27,135 exhibits a +8 mV/K typical temperature coefficient at 2 mA test current, indicating its Zener voltage increases predictably with junction temperature. This positive TC allows designers to compensate drift by combining it with negative-TC elements, improving overall reference stability in the BZX284-C27,135-based circuits.
Is the BZX284-C27,135 suitable for use in high-humidity environments?
Yes - the BZX284-C27,135 uses a ceramic SOD110 package, which provides superior moisture resistance compared to plastic-packaged Zener diodes. NXP's datasheet highlights this construction as part of the device's long-term stability profile, making the BZX284-C27,135 appropriate for industrial and outdoor applications exposed to humidity.
