Product details
Overview
BZT52C22Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 22 V, ±5% tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), 500 mW power dissipation at TL = +75°C, and 370 mW at TA = +25°C. It features SOD123 package, AEC-Q101 qualification, and is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52C22Q-7-F datasheet, BZT52C22Q-7-F pinout, BZT52C22Q-7-F application, or BZT52C22Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy at 5 mA test current, low dynamic impedance (55 Ω @ IZT), temperature coefficient (+15.4 mV/°C), and automotive reliability compliance under AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage across load variations. Its planar die construction ensures consistent breakdown characteristics and low leakage, with IR ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 16.4 V.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 338 °C/W (on FR-4 with 1-inch copper pad) and RθJL = 150 °C/W, enabling reliable operation from –65 °C to +150 °C ambient and junction temperature range.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 370 mW @ TA = +25°C - maximum continuous power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω @ IZT = 5 mA - indicates voltage stability under small-signal AC load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 0.1 µA @ VR = 16.4 V - ensures minimal standby current in voltage-reference circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | +15.4 mV/°C - quantifies zener voltage drift per degree Celsius rise, critical for temperature-stable references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5247B-TP (Micro Commercial) | Zener voltage 22 V (±5%), PD = 500 mW, SOD-123, but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to commercial-grade industrial or consumer applications; no automotive qualification | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements |
| BZX84-C22 (Nexperia) | Zener voltage 22 V (±5%), PD = 300 mW, SOT-23 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower power rating and different footprint - requires PCB redesign and thermal reassessment | Choose only if SOT-23 layout compatibility and legacy design reuse are prioritized over power margin |
Compared with MMSZ5247B-TP and BZX84-C22, BZT52C22Q-7-F uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 370 mW ambient-rated power, and SOD123 mechanical compatibility - making it the only drop-in solution for automotive voltage reference designs requiring both reliability and thermal headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which BZT52C22Q-7-F guarantees IR ≤ 0.1 µA?
The datasheet specifies IR ≤ 0.1 µA at VR = 16.4 V. This value is derived from the "Maximum Reverse Current" column for BZT52C22 in the Electrical Characteristics table and represents the highest reverse voltage at which leakage remains within that limit - critical for low-power reference stability.
Does BZT52C22Q-7-F have a specified capacitance value?
No capacitance value is specified in the DS18004 datasheet for BZT52C22Q-7-F. Figure 5 shows typical total capacitance vs. nominal zener voltage, estimating ~15 pF for 22 V devices at VR = 1 V and f = 1 MHz, but this is not a guaranteed parameter and must be verified experimentally in target circuit conditions.
Can BZT52C22Q-7-F be used in place of BZT52C22-7-F in a commercial design?
Yes, but only if automotive qualification is unnecessary. The "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and identical electrical specs; the non-Q version lacks automotive stress testing. For commercial use, the Q-part functions identically but carries higher assurance - though at slightly higher cost and longer lead time.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) for BZT52C22Q-7-F on a standard FR-4 board?
RθJA = 338 °C/W, measured on FR-4 PCB with 1-inch copper pad layout (Note 8). This value governs ambient temperature derating - e.g., at TA = +85°C, maximum allowable power drops to ~185 mW using the curve in Figure 1.
