Product details
Overview
BZT52C22-13-F 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 55 Ω maximum Zener impedance at 5 mA test current and ±5% voltage tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C22-13-F datasheet, BZT52C22-13-F pinout, BZT52C22-13-F application, or BZT52C22-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), reverse leakage (≤0.1 µA at 16.4 V), temperature coefficient (+15.4 mV/°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance across the 22 V nominal rating.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +15.4 mV/°C and is characterized at 5 mA test current, with maximum reverse current limited to 0.1 µA at VR = 16.4 V - enabling low-power biasing and sensing applications where leakage must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, 20.8–23.3 V range at 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage tolerance in shunt regulator circuits. |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW at TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard FR-4 PCB with 1-inch copper pad. |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω max at 5 mA, 1 kHz - determines regulation stiffness and AC ripple rejection capability. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 16.4 V - ensures minimal standby current in battery-powered voltage monitor designs. |
| Temperature Coefficient | +15.4 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for temperature-stable references. |
| Package | SOD123 - surface-mount outline with cathode band marking, compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 molded plastic case, 0.010 g weight, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference node | Connected to lower-potential side of regulated rail; forms reference ground return path in shunt configuration. |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage regulation node | Connected to higher-potential rail; clamps voltage to 22 V when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar die construction | Ensures repeatable Zener voltage distribution and low parameter spread across production lots. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive electronics including infotainment power supplies and sensor bias networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5248BS-7-F | Same 22 V rating, SOT-323 package, 350 mW PD, RθJA = 300 °C/W - smaller footprint but lower power handling. | Preferred for space-constrained portable devices; unsuitable for >250 mW continuous dissipation. | Select when board area is critical and thermal margin allows reduced power derating. |
| 1N4745A | Through-hole DO-41 package, 1 W PD, 20–24 V range, RθJA ≈ 500 °C/W - higher power but no SMT compatibility. | Used in legacy prototyping or high-reliability linear power supplies where manual assembly is acceptable. | Choose only for through-hole designs requiring >500 mW or where rework accessibility is prioritized over automation. |
Compared with MMBZ5248BS-7-F and 1N4745A, BZT52C22-13-F offers optimal balance of SMT manufacturability, AEC-Q101 compliance, and 370 mW usable power on standard PCB layouts - making it the preferred choice for volume automotive and industrial control applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C22-13-F guarantees IR ≤ 0.1 µA?
The datasheet specifies IR ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 16.4 V. This value is derived from the 75% rule for Zener diodes: 0.75 × 22 V = 16.5 V, rounded to 16.4 V in the Electrical Characteristics table. It defines the maximum reverse bias before significant leakage begins, critical for low-power monitoring circuits.
Is BZT52C22-13-F suitable for use in automotive infotainment systems?
Yes - it is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and rated for operation from –65°C to +150°C. Its SOD123 package supports automated assembly, and its 22 V Zener voltage provides robust clamping for 12 V/24 V system transients common in infotainment power domains.
How does the 338 °C/W thermal resistance affect PCB layout design?
RθJA = 338 °C/W means a 370 mW dissipation at +25°C ambient raises junction temperature by ~124°C - reaching ~149°C, near the 150°C limit. To ensure reliability, use ≥1-inch² copper pour on the cathode pad and minimize trace length to reduce thermal resistance in production layouts.
Does the "-13-F" suffix indicate automotive qualification?
No - "-13-F" denotes commercial-grade packaging: 10,000 units per tape-and-reel, lead-free and RoHS-compliant. Automotive versions use "Q-13-F" (e.g., BZT52C22Q-13-F). The base part BZT52C22-13-F is AEC-Q101 qualified but shipped in commercial packaging unless ordered with "Q" prefix.
