Product details
Overview
BZT52C22LP-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 22 V, ±5% tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), 5 mA test current, 55 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 250 mW power dissipation in DFN1006-2 package - used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power DC rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C22LP-7 datasheet, BZT52C22LP-7 pinout, BZT52C22LP-7 application, or BZT52C22LP-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature (±0.05 %/°C TC), ultra-low leakage (<0.1 µA @ 17.6 V), AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments, and lead-free, RoHS-compliant DFN1006-2 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to clamp voltage at 22 V with tight regulation under 5 mA test current and exhibits low dynamic impedance (55 Ω) for stable reference performance. Its thermal resistance of 500 °C/W reflects operation on standard FR-4 PCBs using minimum pad layout per datasheet.
The device features a cathode-indicated DFN1006-2 package with NiPdAu-plated terminals, moisture sensitivity level 1, and operating junction temperature range from –65 °C to +150 °C - enabling use in extended-temperature industrial and automotive control modules.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener diode can withstand before breakdown?
The BZT52C22LP-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 22 V with a guaranteed range of 20.8 V to 23.3 V at 5 mA test current. It begins controlled reverse breakdown within this band and maintains regulation up to its 250 mW power limit. At voltages below 20.8 V, leakage remains ≤0.1 µA - no hard "breakdown threshold" exists outside the specified VZ range.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - BZT52C22LP-7 is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, covering stress tests such as high-temperature reverse bias, temperature cycling, and ESD. Its DFN1006-2 package, –65 °C to +150 °C operating range, and RoHS-compliant construction meet automotive electronics requirements for under-hood and cabin modules.
How does the DFN1006-2 package affect thermal performance?
Mounted on FR-4 with minimum recommended pads, the DFN1006-2 delivers RθJA = 500 °C/W. This allows safe 250 mW operation only at TA ≤ 25 °C; derating is required above that ambient. For higher power needs, thermal vias under the cathode pad or copper pour improve heat spreading but do not change the datasheet-rated RθJA.
Can this Zener diode replace a through-hole 1N4744A in an existing design?
No - while both have 22 V nominal zener voltage, the BZT52C22LP-7 is a surface-mount DFN1006-2 device with different thermal, mechanical, and electrical characteristics. The 1N4744A uses DO-41 package, 1 W power rating, and 20 Ω impedance. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign, thermal validation, and verification of leakage and regulation behavior at 5 mA vs. 21 mA test current.
