Product details
Overview
BZX79-B27,113 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 27 V working voltage at 2 mA test current, 65 Ω typical differential resistance, and 18.0 mV/K temperature coefficient. It operates in low-power voltage reference and stabilization circuits, such as power supply feedback networks and precision analog biasing in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B27,113 datasheet, BZX79-B27,113 pinout, BZX79-B27,113 application, or BZX79-B27,113 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), thermal coefficient (18.0 mV/K), differential resistance (65 Ω), non-repetitive peak reverse current (1.0 A), and DO-35 package compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This diode functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage reference, maintaining stable reverse-biased operation at its specified Zener voltage under controlled current conditions. Its 27 V nominal breakdown is defined at IZtest = 2 mA, with differential resistance of 65 Ω (typ.) ensuring predictable regulation slope across load variations.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +18.0 mV/K at 2 mA, indicating voltage increases with junction temperature - critical for thermal drift compensation in reference designs. It is rated for 500 mW total power dissipation at Tamb = 50 °C with 8 mm lead length, and supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W for 100 μs pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.5–27.5 V at IZ = 2 mA; defines precise regulation point for feedback loops |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 65 Ω (typ.), 300 Ω (max); determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +18.0 mV/K at IZ = 2 mA; quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C; sets maximum continuous DC power handling capability |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 1.0 A at tp = 100 μs; enables transient overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max. at VR = 0.7 × VZnom; ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for reliable operation?
The BZX79-B27,113 is rated for continuous Zener current up to 18.5 mA at 27 V to maintain 500 mW dissipation within safe junction temperature limits. This assumes ambient temperature ≤50 °C and 8 mm lead length; derating is required above that ambient.
How does the +18.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
A +18.0 mV/K coefficient means the Zener voltage rises ~0.49 V over a 27 °C to 125 °C junction range. Designers must compensate in feedback networks or select complementary components to achieve net zero thermal drift in precision references.
Can this diode be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative resistance characteristics and cannot be reliably paralleled without individual ballast resistors. For >500 mW applications, use a single higher-rated device or active regulation instead.
Is the SOD27 package compatible with automated through-hole insertion equipment?
Yes - the SOD27 (DO-35) package has standardized 2.54 mm lead spacing and 0.56 mm max. lead diameter, meeting IPC-7351B requirements for axial-leaded components and supporting standard wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
