Product details
Overview
BZX84J-C27,115 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 27 V breakdown voltage, 550 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. It operates in reverse-bias regulation mode, provides low differential resistance (73 Ω at IZ = 2 mA), and is housed in an SOD323F (SC-90) surface-mount package for space-constrained PCB designs.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84J-C27,115 datasheet, BZX84J-C27,115 pinout, BZX84J-C27,115 application, or BZX84J-C27,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, non-repetitive surge capability (1 A peak reverse current), thermal resistance (230 K/W junction-to-ambient), and automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
This Zener diode regulates voltage by maintaining a stable reverse breakdown at 27 V ±5 % under 2 mA test current, with temperature coefficient of +21.4 mV/K and reverse leakage <0.05 µA at 20.8 V. Its low 73 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal voltage deviation across load current variations.
Designed for transient-suppressed regulation, it supports non-repetitive 100 µs square-wave surges up to 1 A (40 W peak) and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient, enabled by AEC-Q101 stress qualification and SOD323F package thermal performance (Rth(j-a) = 230 K/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 27 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise regulation setpoint for feedback or reference circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 73 Ω at IZ = 2 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation error sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +21.4 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for high-temperature stability |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 550 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 1 A at tp = 100 µs - enables short-duration overvoltage clamping without failure |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C maximum - defines upper thermal limit for safe operation under sustained bias |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.05 µA at VR = 20.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation paths |
Pinout & Package
The BZX84J-C27,115 is packaged in SOD323F (SC-90), a 2-pin ultra-small flat-lead surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.7 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias anode-to-cathode voltage establishes Zener conduction |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Typically tied to ground or lower-potential rail; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements - enables use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Tighter than standard ±10 % parts - reduces need for post-production trimming in precision reference designs |
| Low 73 Ω differential resistance | Minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load changes - improves regulation accuracy in feedback loops |
| SOD323F (SC-90) package | 0.95 mm height and 1.35 mm width - supports high-density routing and thermal relief on compact PCBs |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Enables operation in under-hood environments without derating below 125 °C ambient - extends usable thermal margin |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |

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 | Same 27 V ±5 % rating but lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; Ptot = 365 mW (lower power handling) | Restricted to commercial-grade consumer or industrial equipment without automotive reliability requirements | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and higher power margin needs |
| MMSZ5258B-TP | 27 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package (larger footprint), Ptot = 500 mW, no AEC-Q101 documentation confirmed | Requires PCB layout revision due to 3.7 mm × 1.6 mm footprint; thermal resistance ~290 K/W limits surge robustness | Choose only if SOD-123 is already standardized in design and AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84J-C27,115, the BZX84-C27,115 sacrifices automotive qualification and 185 mW power headroom, while MMSZ5258B-TP trades package miniaturization for reduced thermal performance and unverified automotive compliance - making the BZX84J-C27,115 the sole option meeting AEC-Q101, SOD323F size, and 550 mW dissipation simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage this diode can regulate at 27 V?
The BZX84J-C27,115 maintains stable Zener conduction at its nominal 27 V breakdown voltage when reverse-biased with ≥2 mA current and within its 550 mW total power dissipation limit. At 25 °C ambient on standard FR4, this supports up to 20.4 mA continuous current (27 V × 20.4 mA = 550 mW), assuming negligible forward drop elsewhere in the circuit.
Does the SOD323F package require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - the SOD323F footprint requires 0.5 mm pad width and 0.6 mm pad length per terminal, with 0.8 mm center-to-center spacing. Thermal relief must include ≥1 cm² cathode copper pour per Nexperia's datasheet recommendation to maintain Rth(j-a) ≤ 230 K/W and prevent derating above 25 °C ambient.
How does the +21.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy?
At 27 V nominal, +21.4 mV/K means the Zener voltage increases by ~2.14 V over a 100 K rise (e.g., from 25 °C to 125 °C junction). This is fully characterized in Table 9 and must be compensated in high-accuracy references via external circuitry or calibration; it does not indicate instability but predictable drift.
Is this part suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - the BZX84J-C27,115 is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for DC voltage regulation and unidirectional transient suppression. It lacks symmetric breakdown behavior and specified ESD ratings (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2); dedicated TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA should be used for bidirectional ESD clamping.
