Product details
Overview
BZT52C22-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount 22 V Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C and 370 mW at TA = +25°C, with ±5% zener voltage tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), 55 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 16.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog and digital supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C22-13 datasheet, BZT52C22-13 pinout, BZT52C22-13 application, or BZT52C22-13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOD123 mechanical layout, and AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives for automotive and industrial voltage regulation designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or input conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W on FR-4 with 1-inch copper pad).
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +15.4 mV/°C near 22 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 for high-reliability automotive use and features matte tin-plated alloy 42 leads for robust solderability per MIL-STD-202.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, 20.8–23.3 V range at 5 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage protection |
| Power Dissipation | 370 mW at +25°C ambient - limits continuous current to ~16.8 mA at 22 V without heatsinking |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω max at 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at 16.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or battery-powered circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 338 °C/W - requires PCB copper area management to avoid junction overheating above +75°C lead temp |
| Temperature Coefficient | +15.4 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage shift for temperature-compensated reference designs |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5247B-7-F | 22 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW, SOD123, but 100 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA vs. 55 Ω @ 5 mA | Higher test current shifts knee point; less suitable for low-current bias networks | Select when higher power handling at elevated current is prioritized over low-current regulation stability |
| BZX84-C22 | 22 V nominal, ±5%, 350 mW, SOT23 package, 60 Ω ZZT @ 5 mA, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Smaller footprint but lower power rating and unqualified for automotive environments | Select for space-constrained consumer PCBs where AEC-Q101 compliance is not required |
Compared with MMSZ5247B-7-F and BZX84-C22, BZT52C22-13 offers superior low-current regulation (55 Ω @ 5 mA), AEC-Q101 qualification, and tighter thermal resistance control - making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding long-term stability under thermal cycling.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 22 V?
The BZT52C22-13 is rated for 370 mW at +25°C ambient, allowing a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 16.8 mA at 22 V (P = V × I). Derating applies above +25°C per Figure 1 - at +75°C lead temperature, power drops to 500 mW, permitting up to ~22.7 mA, but junction temperature must remain ≤+150°C.
Does this part have a specified capacitance value?
No capacitance specification is provided in the DS18004 datasheet for BZT52C22-13. Figure 5 shows typical total capacitance versus nominal Zener voltage, estimating ~15 pF for 22 V devices at 1 MHz and 1 V reverse bias, but this is not a guaranteed parameter and should be verified experimentally in high-frequency applications.
Can BZT52C22-13 replace BZT52C22-7-F in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical electrical specifications, SOD123 package, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The only difference is packaging quantity: -7-F is 3,000 units per reel, while -13-F is 10,000 units per reel. No layout, thermal, or electrical redesign is needed for substitution.
Is the cathode band polarity confirmed for SOD123 orientation?
Yes - the cathode is marked by a visible band at the top edge of the SOD123 package, aligned with the anode lead on the opposite side. Top view shows cathode band adjacent to the shorter lead (cathode), matching Diodes Incorporated's standard SOD123 pinout and JEDEC MO-202AC outline.
