Product details
Overview
PDZ2.7B-QF from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 2.69 V to 2.91 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, with ±2 % tolerance, 400 mW total power dissipation, and qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ2.7B-QF datasheet, PDZ2.7B-QF pinout, PDZ2.7B-QF application, or PDZ2.7B-QF equivalent, this device supports low-current precision clamping in ECU power rails, sensor biasing, and reference voltage generation where compact size, thermal stability, and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. Its hard breakdown knee and low dynamic impedance (≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA) ensure tight regulation at low currents (0.5–5 mA), while its negative temperature coefficient (−2.0 mV/K) enables predictable drift behavior in ambient ranges up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with standard footprint, it delivers 130 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance and derates linearly above 25 °C ambient-reaching zero power at 150 °C per the published curve. The cathode-marked SOD323 package supports reflow and wave soldering per defined land patterns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.69 V to 2.91 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 2.7 V nominal rail protection |
| Dynamic Resistance (rdif) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under small current changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤20 μA at VR = 1.0 V - guarantees low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous energy handling on standard FR4 board |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −2.0 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies predictable downward voltage shift with rising temperature |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | +150 °C maximum - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without derating failure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B2V7 | Same 2.7 V nominal rating, SOD323 package, but ±5 % tolerance and higher rdif (≤150 Ω) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; suitable for industrial, not automotive, use cases | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and tighter regulation |
| MMSZ4678T1G | 2.7 V rating, SOD123 package (larger footprint), ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot | Higher power handling but incompatible footprint; requires PCB redesign | Choose only if thermal margin >400 mW is mandatory and layout revision is acceptable |
Compared with BZX384-B2V7 and MMSZ4678T1G, PDZ2.7B-QF offers superior voltage accuracy (±2 % vs. ±5 %), automotive qualification, and optimized thermal performance in the smallest standard SOD323 footprint-making it the preferred choice for space- and reliability-critical 2.7 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for PDZ2.7B-QF at 1.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 20 μA at VR = 1.0 V and Tj = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal loading in high-impedance bias networks and preserves battery life in always-on sensor nodes without compromising regulation stability.
Does PDZ2.7B-QF support reflow soldering, and what footprint is recommended?
Yes, PDZ2.7B-QF is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering using the SOD323 footprint defined in Figure 9: 0.6 mm pad length × 0.5 mm pad width, 1.65 mm center-to-center pitch, with 0.95 mm solder mask opening. This matches JEDEC SC-76 standards and ensures robust joint formation.
How does the −2.0 mV/K temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
The negative temperature coefficient means VZ decreases by 2.0 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Designers must account for this drift in precision references-e.g., a 50 °C rise lowers VZ by 100 mV-by selecting appropriate operating current or adding compensation in feedback paths.
Is PDZ2.7B-QF pin-compatible with other SOD323 Zener diodes like PDZ3.0B-QF?
Yes, all PDZ-B-Q series diodes share identical SOD323 mechanical dimensions and pinout (cathode at Pin 1, anode at Pin 2), enabling direct substitution within the same voltage range without PCB modification-provided thermal and electrical margins remain satisfied.
