Product details
Overview
BZX84J-B27,115 from Nexperia is a 27 V ±2 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, rated for 550 mW total power dissipation and AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use. It delivers stable reverse breakdown at 27 V with 73 pF capacitance, 250 Ω differential resistance at IZ = 2 mA, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-B27,115 datasheet, BZX84J-B27,115 pinout, BZX84J-B27,115 application, or BZX84J-B27,115 equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in compact automotive and industrial power rails where low-profile SMD placement and thermal robustness are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with a nominal Zener voltage of 27 V at 2 mA test current, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +21.4 mV/K. Its low 73 pF junction capacitance minimizes high-frequency loading in feedback networks.
The device features non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W (100 µs square wave, Tj = 25 °C), and its 230 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance reflects performance on standard FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad - enabling reliable operation under transient surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V nominal, ±2 % tolerance at IZ = 2 mA - ensures tight regulation in reference circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 250 Ω max at IZ = 2 mA - defines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | 73 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in filtering applications |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 layout |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W at tp = 100 µs - supports ESD/surge clamping without degradation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 22.7 V - guarantees low leakage below knee voltage |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +150 °C - validated for under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
SOD323F (SC-90) surface-mount plastic package: 2-pin, ultra-small outline (2.3 × 1.35 × 0.95 mm), flat lead, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal - reverse-bias anode connection point |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JESD22 |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter system-level voltage margining vs. ±5 % variants, reducing need for post-regulation trimming |
| Low 250 Ω dynamic impedance | Minimizes output voltage shift under varying load current - critical for stable feedback references |
| 73 pF junction capacitance | Preserves signal integrity in high-speed comparator inputs and fast transient detection circuits |
| 40 W non-repetitive surge rating | Clamps ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2/5a transients without failure in 12 V vehicle systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27,115 | ±5 % tolerance, higher rdiff (300 Ω), same package and Ptot | Acceptable where system tolerances allow >±1.35 V variation at 27 V | Select for cost-sensitive industrial controls where calibration compensates for wider VZ spread |
| MMSZ5256B-7-F | 27 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (larger footprint), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 | Limited to commercial-temperature applications; requires larger PCB area | Choose when legacy board redesign prohibits SOD323F rework but needs identical VZ grading |
Compared with BZX84J-B27,115, the BZX84-C27,115 trades voltage precision for lower unit cost, while MMSZ5256B-7-F sacrifices automotive qualification and thermal efficiency for broader distributor availability - making the J-series optimal for new AEC-compliant designs demanding tight regulation in minimal space.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for BZX84J-B27,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per limiting values table. However, sustained forward conduction is not intended in normal Zener operation - it is specified only for surge testing and handling robustness. Continuous forward bias exceeds design intent and risks thermal runaway.
Can BZX84J-B27,115 be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients at higher currents and mismatched VZ tolerances cause current hogging. Parallel operation leads to thermal instability and premature failure. Use a single higher-rated device or active regulation instead.
Is the cathode marking consistent across all BZX84J-B27,115 reels?
Yes - per datasheet Figure 11 and Table 4, the cathode is always marked by a bar on the top surface adjacent to pin 1. This marking is laser-etched or molded into the SOD323F package and verified during AEC-Q101 qualification.
Does BZX84J-B27,115 require derating above 25 °C ambient?
Yes - linear derating applies above 25 °C: Ptot decreases by 4.4 mW/°C. At 100 °C ambient, maximum continuous power drops to 220 mW. Derating follows the 230 K/W Rth(j-a) value measured on FR4 with 1 cm² cathode pad.
