Product details
Overview
BZX84C27Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 27 V, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, optimized for voltage regulation and reference applications at 2 mA test current, with 80 Ω dynamic impedance at 2 mA and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 21.4 V, used in power supply feedback loops and precision analog references.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C27Q-13-F datasheet, BZX84C27Q-13-F pinout, BZX84C27Q-13-F application, or BZX84C27Q-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (27 V), tolerance (±5%), power rating (350 mW), Zener impedance (80 Ω @ 2 mA), and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with sharp reverse breakdown at 27 V under 2 mA test current, exhibiting a negative temperature coefficient of −3.5 mV/°C and total capacitance of ~10 pF at 1 V reverse bias. Its planar die construction ensures stable long-term Zener voltage drift.
The SOT23 package enables high-density PCB layouts and compatibility with reflow soldering profiles per J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 357 °C/W under free-air conditions with terminals held at ambient temperature.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V nominal, 25.1–28.9 V range at 2 mA - defines precise regulation point for feedback networks |
| Power Dissipation | 350 mW - supports continuous operation in low-power regulation without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 80 Ω at 2 mA - determines output voltage stability under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at 21.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive circuits |
| Package | SOT23 - 3-pin surface-mount footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C27Q-13-F?
The nominal Zener voltage is 27 V with a guaranteed range of 25.1 V to 28.9 V at 2 mA test current. Breakdown occurs within this band; operation below 21.4 V (the specified VR test point) yields ≤0.1 µA leakage, confirming sub-threshold blocking behavior.
Is BZX84C27Q-13-F suitable for use in high-temperature automotive under-hood applications?
Yes - it is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for TJ = −65°C to +150°C. Its −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient and stable Zener impedance up to 150°C make it appropriate for engine control modules and transmission control units.
Does the "Q" suffix indicate automotive qualification?
Yes - the "Q" in BZX84C27Q-13-F denotes AEC-Q101 qualification. This distinguishes it from the standard-grade BZX84C27-13-F and confirms stress testing for vibration, thermal cycling, and high-temperature reverse bias per automotive reliability standards.
Can BZX84C27Q-13-F replace BZX84C24 or BZX84C30 in existing designs?
No - direct substitution is not recommended without circuit analysis. The 27 V rating differs by ≥3 V from adjacent values, altering feedback loop gain, power dissipation, and thermal margin. Recalculate series resistor and verify regulation stability across temperature and load.
