Product details
Overview
BZT52-C22J from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123 package, rated for 22 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 220 Ω maximum differential resistance, and 590 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C; used for precision voltage reference and low-power regulation in sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52-C22J datasheet, BZT52-C22J pinout, BZT52-C22J application, or BZT52-C22J equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), thermal resistance (210 K/W junction-to-solder-point), reverse current (≤0.05 μA at VR = 17.6 V), and SOD123 surface-mount compatibility with standard FR4 PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load or supply conditions. Its 22 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA, with temperature coefficient of +15.4 mV/K and typical reverse current of 0.05 μA at VR = 17.6 V.
The device exhibits low dynamic impedance (220 Ω max) and fast response to transient overvoltage events, supported by non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W (tp = 100 μs). It is designed for operation within -55 °C to +150 °C ambient and junction temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.8 V to 23.3 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under nominal bias |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 220 Ω max - determines output voltage stability against current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 17.6 V - ensures minimal leakage in standby regulation |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 590 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 PCB |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 210 K/W - quantifies junction-to-solder-point heat transfer efficiency for thermal design |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - defines conduction loss when used in forward-biased protection paths |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - constrains maximum allowable operating temperature for reliability |
Pinout & Package
The BZT52-C22J is housed in a plastic SOD123 surface-mount package measuring 2.80 mm × 1.70 mm × 1.30 mm, with cathode marked by a visible band on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking band identifies this terminal |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-bias polarity required for Zener operation |
Key Features

|---|---|
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tighter regulation accuracy than ±2 % B-series variants in cost-sensitive applications |
| 220 Ω max differential resistance | Minimizes output voltage drift under ±1 mA load current change |
| SOD123 package footprint | Supports high-density PCB layout with standardized reflow soldering profile per JEDEC J-STD-020 |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Permits reliable operation in industrial environments without derating below 100 °C ambient |
| 0.05 μA max reverse current at VR = 17.6 V | Reduces quiescent power loss in battery-powered voltage reference circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52-B22 | ±2 % tolerance (21.6–22.4 V), 150 Ω max rdif, same SOD123 package | Higher regulation precision required in metrology-grade references | Select when tighter voltage control outweighs cost sensitivity |
| MMBZ5248B | 22 V nominal, ±5 %, SOT-23 package, 200 Ω max rdif, 350 mW Ptot | Higher board density needed; lower power handling acceptable | Choose for space-constrained designs where 350 mW suffices |
Compared with BZT52-C22J, BZT52-B22 offers tighter tolerance but higher unit cost, while MMBZ5248B reduces footprint at the expense of 40 % lower power dissipation and different thermal interface behavior.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for BZT52-C22J?
The BZT52-C22J has a ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance, resulting in a guaranteed working range of 20.8 V to 23.3 V at IZ = 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in Table 8 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 2 (2025), and applies to all C-series variants in the BZT52 family.
Can BZT52-C22J be used in automotive applications?
No - BZT52-C22J is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's legal disclaimers in Section 14. It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification, automotive-grade screening, and extended temperature validation beyond 150 °C junction limit. Automotive alternatives must be selected from Nexperia's -Q qualified portfolio.
What is the maximum forward current rating?
The absolute maximum forward current for BZT52-C22J is 250 mA, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting Values) of the datasheet. This rating assumes pulse conditions (tp ≤ 300 μs, duty cycle ≤ 2 %); continuous forward conduction is not recommended due to lack of sustained IF derating data.
How does thermal resistance affect PCB layout?
BZT52-C22J's Rth(j-sp) = 210 K/W requires a minimum 1 cm² cathode-side copper pad (tin-plated, single-sided FR4) to achieve rated 590 mW dissipation. Reducing pad area increases junction temperature proportionally - e.g., halving pad size raises thermal resistance to ~300 K/W, necessitating ~30 % power derating at 25 °C ambient.
