Product details
Overview
BZT52H-B22-QX from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 22 V nominal breakdown voltage at IZ = 5 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation. It operates as a precision shunt reference in low-power biasing and overvoltage clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-B22-QX datasheet, BZT52H-B22-QX pinout, BZT52H-B22-QX application, or BZT52H-B22-QX equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, thermal resistance, differential resistance, reverse current, and automotive qualification status - all confirmed from Nexperia's official product data sheet Rev. 1 (October 2021).
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator with a nominal Zener voltage of 21.6 V to 22.4 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +15.4 mV/K and differential resistance ≤ 220 Ω. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 330 K/W on standard FR4 PCB.
Designed for surface-mount use in space-constrained automotive ECUs and industrial sensors, it supports non-repetitive peak reverse current up to 1.25 A (100 μs pulse) and maintains stable regulation across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 21.6 V to 22.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 22 V rail protection |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage control without post-production trimming |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - enables continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts with minimal heatsinking |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤ 220 Ω - limits output impedance drift under load variation for stable reference performance |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 0.05 μA at VR = 17.6 V - guarantees low leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 330 K/W - determines maximum allowable ambient temperature rise before junction exceeds 150 °C |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - confirms low-loss conduction during forward-biased transient events |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 2.7–3.6 mm length, 1.2–1.7 mm width, 0.55–0.70 mm height; cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity marker determines correct orientation for reverse-bias operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path during overvoltage events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JESD22 standards |
| ±2 % voltage tolerance | Reduces need for binning or external trimming in 22 V reference designs |
| 830 mW power rating | Supports sustained regulation in 22 V/37 mA applications without derating below 25 °C ambient |
| SOD123F footprint | Enables automated placement and reflow soldering on dense PCBs with 2.8 mm × 1.6 mm land pattern |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Allows operation in under-hood environments where ambient reaches +125 °C with adequate thermal margin |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-C22-Q | ±5 % tolerance (20.8 V–23.3 V), higher IR (≤0.05 μA vs. same), identical package and Ptot | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs voltage precision; not suitable for closed-loop feedback requiring tight setpoint | Select when budget constraints dominate and system gain compensates for wider VZ spread |
| MMSZ5247B-TP | ±5 % tolerance, 20 V nominal, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-grade applications; lacks automotive reliability validation and thermal robustness | Choose only for non-automotive prototypes or cost-driven consumer designs with relaxed lifetime requirements |
Compared with BZT52H-B22-QX, the C22-Q variant trades voltage accuracy for lower unit cost while retaining automotive qualification, whereas MMSZ5247B-TP sacrifices both precision and qualification for legacy compatibility - making the BZT52H-B22-QX optimal for production automotive systems demanding ±2 % regulation and AEC-Q101 assurance.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52H-B22-QX?
The specified maximum reverse voltage before onset of Zener conduction is 17.6 V - defined as the voltage at which reverse current reaches 1 μA. This value ensures predictable turn-on behavior and distinguishes the device from standard rectifiers, enabling reliable use as a shunt regulator above this threshold.
Does BZT52H-B22-QX require a series current-limiting resistor in typical applications?
Yes - a series resistor is mandatory to limit Zener current to safe operating levels. For example, at 24 V input and 22 V regulation, a 100 Ω resistor restricts IZ to 20 mA, staying within the 830 mW power limit and avoiding thermal runaway under worst-case ambient conditions.
How does the +15.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
The positive temperature coefficient means VZ increases by 15.4 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a 100 °C range (25 °C to 125 °C), this contributes ~1.54 V drift - requiring system-level compensation or selection of adjacent voltage grades if absolute stability beyond ±3 % is required.
Can BZT52H-B22-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit negative resistance characteristics and mismatched VZ tolerances prevent balanced current sharing. Parallel connection risks thermal runaway in the lower-VZ unit. For higher power, select a single higher-rated device like BZX84-C22 or use active regulation instead.
