Product details
Overview
NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G from onsemi is a precision Zener diode voltage regulator in the NZ8F series, designed for low-power voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained PCBs. It delivers a nominal 27 V Zener breakdown voltage (26.38 V to 27.62 V at IZT = 5 mA), with ±2% tolerance, 80 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.1 µA leakage at 22 V reverse bias - ideal for automotive control unit power rail clamping and portable device battery monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include tight voltage tolerance (±2%), wettable flank X2DFNW2 package for AOI compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, and thermal performance under 250 mW dissipation on FR-4 with 1 oz. Cu.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-bias regulation. Its electrical behavior is defined by precise VZ specification at IZT = 5 mA, low ZZT ≤ 80 Ω, and minimal temperature coefficient - critical for maintaining reference accuracy across −65 °C to +150 °C junction range.
The X2DFNW2 package enables high-density placement and automated optical inspection via wettable flanks. Thermal resistance is 415 °C/W (FR-4 minimum pad) or 247 °C/W (150 mm² copper), directly impacting maximum continuous power handling and transient surge capability up to 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 26.38 V to 27.62 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for 27 V nominal systems |
| Tolerance | ±2% - tight tolerance enables accurate voltage clamping without post-production trimming |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤80 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load variation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 22 V - guarantees low standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Capacitance (C) | 50 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - supports high-frequency noise suppression in signal path protection |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW on FR-4 (1 oz. Cu, min pad) - sets maximum continuous DC/low-frequency clamping capability |
| Junction Temp Range | −65 °C to +150 °C - validated for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
The NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G is housed in the X2DFNW2 surface-mount package (Case 711BG), measuring 1.00 mm × 0.60 mm × 0.37 mm with 0.65 mm pitch and wettable flank geometry for reliable solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Cathode) | Zener cathode terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; reverse-bias voltage applied here to initiate regulation |
| 2 (Anode) | Zener anode terminal | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., ground or return path); completes regulation current loop |
Key Features

| Low profile height | 0.40 mm max body height - allows stacking under shields or integration into ultra-thin handheld and wearable PCBs |
| Non-repetitive peak power | 40 W capability (tp = 100 µs) - provides robust transient voltage suppression against ESD and load dump events |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | Portable Device Battery Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C27LT1G | 27 V ±5% tolerance, SOT-23 package (1.3 mm × 0.9 mm), 350 mW PD, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Larger footprint, higher power, but lacks automotive qualification and wettable flanks | Select when board space permits larger package and AEC-Q101 is not required |
| MMSZ5260ET1G | 27 V ±5% tolerance, SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.4 mm), 500 mW PD, no wettable flanks | Higher power rating but incompatible with AOI due to non-wettable flank geometry | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AOI is not mandated and layout density is less constrained |
Compared with NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G, BZX84-C27LT1G offers higher power but looser tolerance and no automotive qualification, while MMSZ5260ET1G trades compactness and AOI support for greater dissipation - making NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, high-density, optically inspectable designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G?
The NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G has a tight ±2% Zener voltage tolerance, specified as 26.38 V to 27.62 V at test current IZT = 5 mA. This tighter tolerance compared to standard-series Zeners (e.g., ±5%) enables more accurate voltage clamping and reference generation without external calibration - a key advantage in automotive and precision analog applications where NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G is deployed.
Is NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G qualified for automotive use?
Yes, NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting the stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors in automotive electronics. The "S" in the part number denotes the tight-tolerance series, and the device is manufactured under automotive-specific process controls - making NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G suitable for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What package type does NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G use, and why does it matter?
NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G uses the X2DFNW2 package (Case 711BG), a 0402-inch wettable flank leadless design measuring 1.00 mm × 0.60 mm × 0.37 mm. Its wettable flanks enable reliable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - critical for zero-defect manufacturing in high-volume automotive and consumer electronics. This distinguishes NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G from conventional 0402 diodes lacking AOI compatibility.
What is the maximum power dissipation for NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G on a standard PCB?
NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G has a maximum total device dissipation of 250 mW on FR-4 board with minimum pad layout and 1 oz. copper, derating linearly at 1.5 mW/°C above 25 °C ambient. With enhanced thermal pads (150 mm², 1 oz. Cu), it supports up to 500 mW - but NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G's typical use case leverages its precision regulation rather than sustained high-power operation.
How does the leakage current of NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G compare to other 27 V Zeners?
NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G specifies ≤0.1 µA reverse leakage current at VR = 22 V, significantly lower than many competing 27 V Zeners (e.g., BZX84-C27LT1G: ~1 µA at 22 V). This ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on portable and telematics applications - a verified performance attribute confirmed in the onsemi datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table for NZ8F27VSMX2WT5G.
