Product details
Overview
BZX84B27LT1G from onsemi is a 27 V ±2% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C, with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA test current and 0.05 μA reverse leakage at 21.4 V. It provides precision voltage regulation in space-constrained applications such as portable power rails and voltage reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B27LT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include tight 2% Zener voltage tolerance, low 70 pF capacitance at 0 V bias, ESD robustness (>16 kV HBM), thermal coefficient of +18.9 mV/°C, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device belongs to onsemi's BZX84BxxxLT1G tight-tolerance Zener series, designed for stable voltage clamping and reference generation where ±2% initial accuracy and predictable temperature drift are required. Its 2 mA Zener test current enables low-power biasing while maintaining low dynamic impedance (80 Ω).
The SOT-23 package features anode (Pin 1), no connection (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3) configuration, supporting unidirectional reverse-biased operation only. Thermal resistance is 500 °C/W on FR-4 board, limiting continuous power handling above 25°C without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 27 V nominal, 26.5–27.5 V range at 2 mA - ensures precise clamping within ±2% for stable reference design |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-4 at 25°C - supports compact low-power regulation without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance | 80 Ω max at IZT = 2 mA - maintains voltage stability under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.05 μA max at VR = 21.4 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered circuits |
| Capacitance | 70 pF max at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - suitable for high-frequency noise suppression and filtering |
| Temp. Coefficient | +18.9 mV/°C at IZT = 2 mA - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in wide-temperature designs |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - withstands handling and board-level electrostatic discharge without degradation |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; must be held at voltage ≤ cathode minus 27 V to activate regulation |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad should tie this terminal |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node; defines regulated output voltage referenced to anode potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tight 2% Zener tolerance | Enables accurate voltage references without post-production trimming in analog sensor interfaces and ADC bias networks |
| Low 70 pF junction capacitance | Minimizes signal distortion in RF detector circuits and high-speed clamping applications up to ~100 MHz |
| 250 mW FR-4 power rating | Supports direct integration into dense portable PCB layouts without thermal relief pads or layout constraints |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C27LT1G | Standard 5% tolerance (25.1–28.9 V), same SOT-23 package and 80 Ω Zz | Acceptable where ±5% regulation suffices; lower cost but requires margining in precision references | Select BZX84C27LT1G for cost-sensitive consumer power rails where 27 V nominal is sufficient |
| MMSZ4688T1G | 27 V ±5%, 500 mW rating on FR-4, 350 Ω Zz at 1 mA, 100 pF capacitance | Higher power handling but looser tolerance and higher impedance - suited for coarse clamping, not precision refs | Choose MMSZ4688T1G when board space allows larger SOD-123 and thermal budget permits higher dissipation |
Compared with BZX84B27LT1G, BZX84C27LT1G trades ±2% accuracy for broader tolerance and lower unit cost, while MMSZ4688T1G offers higher power but sacrifices impedance and capacitance performance - making BZX84B27LT1G optimal for space-constrained, precision-clamping roles.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX84B27LT1G?
The BZX84B27LT1G has a tight ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, specified as 26.5 V to 27.5 V at 2 mA test current. This tighter tolerance than standard Zeners (e.g., BZX84C27LT1G at ±5%) makes BZX84B27LT1G suitable for applications demanding higher initial accuracy without calibration, such as precision reference supplies and sensor bias networks.
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX84B27LT1G on FR-4 board?
BZX84B27LT1G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on FR-4 board at 25°C ambient, derating linearly by 2.0 mW/°C above that temperature. At 75°C ambient, its usable power drops to 150 mW. This rating assumes standard JEDEC-defined copper area and is validated per onsemi's test conditions in the official datasheet.
Does BZX84B27LT1G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on PCB?
Yes, BZX84B27LT1G has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection" per its mechanical outline (Style 8). This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating - no PCB trace, via, or copper pour should contact it. Incorrect routing to ground or signal nets may cause assembly defects or functional failure.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for BZX84B27LT1G?
BZX84B27LT1G specifies a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.05 μA at VR = 21.4 V (80% of nominal Zener voltage), measured at 25°C. This ultra-low leakage supports multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and enables use in high-impedance bias networks where leakage would otherwise introduce significant error.
Is BZX84B27LT1G RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, BZX84B27LT1G is Pb-free and fully RoHS compliant, as confirmed in onsemi's official datasheet and packaging documentation. The "G" suffix denotes lead-free construction, and the device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. It is qualified for reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C for 10 seconds.
