Product details
Overview
BZT52C22-7 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 dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, and 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 16.4 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power DC supply regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C22-7 datasheet, BZT52C22-7 pinout, BZT52C22-7 application, or BZT52C22-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 22 V nominal breakdown voltage, SOD123 footprint compatibility, thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use, and cathode-band polarity marking.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations and temperature shifts. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and long-term stability under repetitive surge conditions.
Designed for general-purpose medium-current regulation, it delivers predictable clamping behavior with a temperature coefficient of +15.4 mV/°C and supports automated SMT assembly due to its matte tin–plated alloy 42 leadframe and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, 20.8–23.3 V range at 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail 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 at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 µA max at VR = 16.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 338 °C/W on FR-4 PCB with 1-inch copper pad - requires derating above +25°C ambient per Fig. 1 |
| Temperature Coefficient | +15.4 mV/°C - enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - surface-mount plastic case, 0.010 g weight, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode band marking, and matte tin–annealed terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to lower-potential node; reverse bias applied between cathode and anode to activate regulation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal / voltage reference output | Marked by band; supplies regulated 22 V when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5246BS-7-F | Same 22 V nominal, but SOT-323 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA = 400 °C/W) | Limited to lower power (<200 mW) due to thermal constraints; unsuitable for sustained 370 mW operation | Select when board space is critical and power dissipation remains below 150 mW |
| 1N4748A | Through-hole DO-41 package, 1 W rating, ±5% tolerance, 22 V nominal | Requires wave soldering or hand assembly; incompatible with automated SMT lines | Choose only for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs where reflow compatibility is not required |
Compared with MMBZ5246BS-7-F and 1N4748A, BZT52C22-7 uniquely balances SMT manufacturability, 370 mW continuous power handling at +25°C, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it optimal for volume automotive and industrial SMT production where reliability and process compatibility are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C22-7 guarantees ≤0.1 µA leakage?
The datasheet specifies 0.1 µA maximum reverse current at VR = 16.4 V. This value is measured under controlled conditions at +25°C and defines the voltage threshold below which leakage remains negligible-critical for low-power standby circuits where quiescent current must be minimized.
Can BZT52C22-7 be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode for overvoltage clamping?
No-it is rated for 22 V nominal breakdown (20.8–23.3 V range). Using it as a 24 V clamp risks premature conduction and inadequate headroom; a BZT52C24-7 (24 V nominal, 22.8–25.6 V range) is the correct replacement for 24 V system protection.
Is the SOD123 package of BZT52C22-7 compatible with IPC-7351B standard footprints?
Yes-the SOD123 outline dimensions (D = 1.40–1.70 mm, E = 2.55–2.85 mm, L = 0.25–0.40 mm) match IPC-7351B "SOD-123" land pattern recommendations, and the suggested pad layout (X = 0.900 mm, X1 = 4.050 mm, Y = 0.950 mm) aligns with Class L density guidelines for reliable reflow soldering.
Does BZT52C22-7 meet AEC-Q101 requirements for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes-the "-7-F" suffix denotes commercial qualification, but the base BZT52C22 device is AEC-Q101 qualified per DS18004 Rev. 38. For automotive use, specify BZT52C22Q-7-F (automotive-grade variant with extended temperature screening and traceability).
