Product details
Overview
BZX84B27Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101-qualified surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal 27 V zener voltage, ±2% tolerance, 350 mW power dissipation, and SOT23 package. It regulates voltage in automotive power supply rails, ECU reference circuits, and sensor bias networks where stable reverse breakdown under low-current conditions (IZT = 2.0 mA) is required.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B27Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84B27Q-7-F pinout, BZX84B27Q-7-F application, or BZX84B27Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 2.0 mA test current, low dynamic impedance (80 Ω at IZT), temperature coefficient (+21.4 mV/°C), and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals. Its 27 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 2.0 mA test current (IZT), with maximum zener impedance of 80 Ω at IZT and 300 Ω at knee current (IZK = 0.5 mA).
It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +21.4 mV/°C, indicating voltage increases with junction temperature. Thermal resistance is 357 °C/W when terminals are held at ambient, enabling operation from –65 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V nominal, 26.5–27.5 V range at 2.0 mA - ensures tight regulation in 24 V automotive systems |
| Power Dissipation | 350 mW - supports continuous operation in compact SOT23 footprint without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance | 80 Ω at IZT = 2.0 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.1 µA at VR = 18.9 V - enables ultra-low standby current in battery-critical circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | +21.4 mV/°C - predictable drift for compensated reference designs above 25 °C |
| Package | SOT23 - compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - three-terminal surface-mount plastic case with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe; moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020; weight ≈ 0.008 g.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4683T1G | 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package | Higher power but looser tolerance; requires larger PCB area | Select when higher surge capability is needed and ±5% regulation is acceptable |
| BZX84-C27 | 27 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, same SOT23 package | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter tolerance | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where qualification is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current at 18.9 V for BZX84B27Q-7-F?
The maximum reverse leakage current is 0.1 µA at VR = 18.9 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at TA = +25°C and confirms suitability for ultra-low-power biasing applications where minimal current draw is critical.
Is BZX84B27Q-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - it features matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe and is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1. The device withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C and is fully RoHS 3 compliant.
How does the +21.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit performance?
This positive coefficient means the zener voltage increases linearly with junction temperature. At 100°C ambient (assuming typical thermal rise), VZ rises ~1.6 V above 25°C value - a known, predictable shift usable in temperature-compensated reference designs.
Can BZX84B27Q-7-F replace BZX84-C27 in existing designs?
Electrically, yes - both share identical SOT23 pinout and 27 V nominal rating. However, BZX84B27Q-7-F adds ±2% tolerance and AEC-Q101 qualification. No layout change is needed, but qualification testing is recommended for automotive deployment.
