Product details
Overview
BZT03C22-TAP from Vishay Semiconductors is a 22 V, 25 mA nominal zener diode in SOD-57 package, featuring 3.25 W steady-state power dissipation, 600 W non-repetitive surge capability, and 16 Ω dynamic resistance at test current - used for medium-power voltage regulation and transient suppression in industrial power supplies and DC bus protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT03C22-TAP datasheet, BZT03C22-TAP pinout, BZT03C22-TAP application, or BZT03C22-TAP equivalent, this page delivers verified zener voltage tolerance (±5%), clamping performance (31 V at 9.7 A), temperature coefficient (+0.06 %/K), and hermetic SOD-57 packaging for high-reliability overvoltage protection design.
Technical Context
The BZT03C22-TAP operates as a single-element, glass-passivated zener diode with precise 22 V nominal breakdown voltage at 25 mA test current. Its 16 Ω dynamic resistance ensures stable regulation under load variation, while the +0.06 %/K temperature coefficient minimizes drift across -65 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Designed for transient suppression, it delivers 31 V clamping voltage at 9.7 A RMS surge current with picosecond-level response time. The SOD-57 package supports 100 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on PCBs with 25 mm spacing, enabling robust thermal management in medium-power applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.8 V min. / 22 V nom. / 23.3 V max. at 25 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for 24 V rail stabilization |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - supports continuous operation in ambient-temperature-limited enclosures |
| Surge Power (PZSM) | 600 W for 100 μs pulse - enables single-event ESD and lightning-induced transient absorption |
| Dynamic Resistance (ZZ) | 16 Ω at IZT = 25 mA - ensures low output impedance and minimal voltage deviation under load shifts |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 31 V at IRMS = 9.7 A - guarantees safe voltage ceiling during high-energy transients |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.06 %/K - limits zener voltage drift to ±1.32 V over full -65 °C to +175 °C junction range |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤5 μA at VR = 18 V - ensures negligible standby current in always-on protection circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5355BRLG | 22 V, 5 W, DO-15 package, 10 Ω ZZ, -0.05 %/K TCVZ | Higher power rating but larger footprint and negative tempco - better for high-current regulation, less stable over temperature | Select when >1.3 W continuous dissipation is required and board space allows DO-15 mounting |
| BZX85C22 | 22 V, 1.3 W, DO-41 package, 25 Ω ZZ, +0.07 %/K TCVZ | Lower surge rating (100 W), higher dynamic resistance - suited for low-energy signal-level clamping only | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where 600 W surge immunity is not required |
Compared with 1N5355BRLG and BZX85C22, the BZT03C22-TAP uniquely balances 600 W surge capability, 16 Ω regulation precision, and compact SOD-57 form factor - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial systems needing both steady-state accuracy and high-energy transient resilience.

FAQ
What is the zener voltage tolerance of BZT03C22-TAP at 25 mA test current?
The BZT03C22-TAP has a zener voltage range of 20.8 V (min) to 23.3 V (max) at IZT = 25 mA, corresponding to a ±5 % tolerance around the nominal 22 V rating. This tolerance is guaranteed per Vishay's Rev. 1.8 datasheet (Document Number: 85599) and applies under standard 25 °C ambient conditions. The BZT03C22-TAP maintains this specification across its qualified production lot releases.
Can BZT03C22-TAP be used for continuous 1.3 W power dissipation?
Yes - the BZT03C22-TAP supports 1300 mW continuous power dissipation at Tamb = 25 °C with appropriate PCB layout (e.g., 25 mm lead spacing). Derating is required above 25 °C ambient: junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 100 K/W under those conditions. The BZT03C22-TAP must not exceed 175 °C maximum junction temperature, so sustained 1.3 W operation requires thermal monitoring in elevated ambient environments.
What is the clamping voltage of BZT03C22-TAP under surge conditions?
The BZT03C22-TAP clamps to 31 V at 9.7 A RMS surge current (10/1000 μs waveform), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This clamping voltage is measured under standardized transient conditions and defines the maximum voltage seen by protected circuitry during high-energy events. The BZT03C22-TAP achieves this with picosecond response, ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating limits.
Is BZT03C22-TAP compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes - the BZT03C22-TAP is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020, and its SOD-57 package carries MSL Level 1 classification, meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and requires no baking prior to assembly. The UL 94 V-0 molding compound and glass-passivated junction ensure reliability through standard lead-free reflow profiles. The BZT03C22-TAP meets RoHS and REACH compliance requirements as documented by Vishay.
How does the temperature coefficient affect BZT03C22-TAP performance over temperature?
The BZT03C22-TAP has a positive temperature coefficient of +0.06 %/K, meaning its zener voltage increases by approximately 13.2 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. Over the full -65 °C to +175 °C range, this results in a total shift of ±1.32 V from nominal 22 V. This behavior is fully characterized and stable; the BZT03C22-TAP remains within spec across its entire operating range without hysteresis or parameter drift.
