Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A22-QX from Nexperia is a ±1 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 22 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation and reference applications.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A22-QX datasheet, BZT52H-A22-QX pinout, BZT52H-A22-QX application, or BZT52H-A22-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, thermal resistance values, reverse current limits at 20 V, differential resistance under regulation, and automotive-grade reliability context - all critical for precision biasing, overvoltage clamping, and stable reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode with a tightly controlled 21.78–22.22 V working voltage range at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K and typical differential resistance of 220 Ω. Its low 150 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance enables reliable operation on standard FR4 PCBs with tin-plated copper.
Designed for stable DC voltage reference and transient suppression, it supports continuous reverse current up to 250 mA and non-repetitive peak reverse current of 1.25 A (100 μs pulse), with reverse leakage limited to ≤25 μA at VR = 20 V and junction temperature up to 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VZ) | 21.78–22.22 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures precise 22 V regulation within ±1 % tolerance for reference stability |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum steady-state thermal load on standard FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 220 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity to current variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤25 μA at VR = 20 V - guarantees low leakage during standby or pre-breakdown conditions |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 150 K/W - enables accurate thermal modeling for board-level reliability in automotive ambient profiles |
| Non-Repetitive Peak IZSM | 1.25 A (100 μs, Tj = 25 °C) - supports surge immunity in ESD-coupled or load-dump scenarios |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive under-hood and infotainment applications per discrete semiconductor stress test standard |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, flat lead, small outline; dimensions 3.4–3.6 mm length × 2.5–2.7 mm width × 1.0–1.2 mm height; cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse current during Zener conduction |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-bias path for voltage reference or clamping function |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B22-Q | ±2 % VZ tolerance (21.6–22.4 V), same SOD123F package and 830 mW rating | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; lower cost for non-safety-critical consumer power rails | Select when ±2 % accuracy suffices and AEC-Q101 is not mandated; identical thermal and surge performance |
| MMSZ5248B-TP | ±5 % tolerance (20.9–23.1 V), SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade applications; unsuitable for automotive due to lower power and unqualified reliability | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs with relaxed accuracy and thermal requirements |
Compared with BZT52H-A22-QX, the BZT52H-B22-Q offers identical form-factor and surge capability at reduced accuracy, while MMSZ5248B-TP trades AEC-Q101 compliance and 66 % higher power rating for broader tolerance and lower cost - making the A22-QX optimal for automotive precision regulation where both accuracy and qualification are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52H-A22-QX?
The specified working voltage range is 21.78–22.22 V at IZ = 5 mA. Below this, reverse current remains ≤25 μA at 20 V. Breakdown onset occurs gradually near 21.8 V; full regulation is established above 22 V with defined differential resistance and power limits.
Can BZT52H-A22-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and parameter spread; paralleling causes current imbalance and thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device or active regulation. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the 150 K/W Rth(j-sp).
Is the SOD123F package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the only recommended method. The SOD123F footprint matches IPC-7351B standards, with land pattern dimensions (2.8 × 1.6 mm pads, 2.9 mm center-to-center) validated for JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant thermal profiles including peak temperatures up to 260 °C.
How does temperature affect the 22 V regulation accuracy?
At IZ = 5 mA, the temperature coefficient is +0.05 mV/K - meaning VZ increases by ~1.1 mV per 22 °C rise. Over -40 °C to +125 °C junction range, total drift is approximately ±1.3 V, fully characterized in the datasheet's SZ vs. IZ curves (Fig. 7).
