Product details
Overview
BZT52C22-7-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 ±5% zener voltage tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), 55 Ω maximum zener 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 regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C22-7-F datasheet, BZT52C22-7-F pinout, BZT52C22-7-F application, or BZT52C22-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, thermal resistance (RθJA = 338 °C/W), SOD123 footprint compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and lead-free/Green compliance for automotive and industrial PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (ZZT ≤ 55 Ω at IZT = 5 mA) for reliable voltage clamping in transient suppression and reference applications.
The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +15.4 mV/°C near 22 V, enabling predictable drift behavior in temperature-varying environments. Its SOD123 package supports automated pick-and-place assembly and provides defined thermal performance on FR-4 PCBs with 1-inch copper pad layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C22-7-F guarantees ≤0.1 µA leakage?
The datasheet specifies 0.1 µA maximum reverse current at VR = 16.4 V. This value is measured under standard conditions (TA = +25°C) and defines the upper limit of applied reverse bias before significant leakage begins-critical for designing high-impedance bias networks where leakage could shift operating points.
Can BZT52C22-7-F be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode like BZT52C24-7-F?
No-BZT52C22-7-F has a nominal zener voltage of 22 V (20.8–23.3 V range), while BZT52C24-7-F is rated for 24 V (22.8–25.6 V). Substituting them risks undervoltage clamping or insufficient protection margin; voltage-specific selection must match system requirements within tolerance bands.
Is the SOD123 package of BZT52C22-7-F compatible with reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes-the device is qualified to moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH and withstand standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C) without baking or special handling, supporting robust automated assembly.
Does BZT52C22-7-F meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes-BZT52C22-7-F is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, covering stress tests such as high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and electrostatic discharge (ESD), making it approved for use in automotive electronic control units and body electronics.
