Product details
Overview
BZT52HC22WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 22 V (20.8–23.3 V range at 5 mA), 375 mW power dissipation on standard FR-4 PCB, and SOD123F (Type B) package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power biasing, overvoltage protection, and reference circuits for automotive control modules and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC22WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC22WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC22WF-7 application, or BZT52HC22WF-7 equivalent, this device is selected for stable 22 V clamping in space-constrained designs requiring AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile mounting, and <100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient stability under 5 mA test current.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable reference voltage across its cathode–anode terminals. Its 22 V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 5 mA, with maximum zener impedance of 25 Ω at that current and 220 Ω at IZK = 1 mA.
Thermal performance depends on PCB layout: RθJA is 330 °C/W with minimum pad area, improving to 150 °C/W with 1 cm² cathode pad. The device exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +16.4 mV/°C, enabling predictable drift compensation in multi-diode reference strings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 20.8–23.3 V at 5 mA - defines clamping threshold for overvoltage protection circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 375 mW (FR-4, min pad) - sets max continuous power in standard layouts without thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 25 Ω at 5 mA - determines regulation accuracy under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.05 µA at 15.4 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Capacitance (CT) | 60 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and transient response |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | +16.4 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift for temperature-compensated references |
| Package | SOD123F (Type B), 3.5 mm × 1.8 mm × 1.15 mm - supports automated placement and 0.8 mm pitch routing |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F (Type B) is a flat-lead, surface-mount plastic package with cathode band marking on the top surface. The device has two terminals: anode (unmarked end) and cathode (band-marked end). Polarity is unambiguous and critical for correct reverse-bias operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; forms reference return path |
| Cathode | Reverse-bias input / regulated output node | Connected to supply rail or signal node requiring clamping; voltage develops across cathode–anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive electronics per stress-test requirements (HTOL, TCT, ESD) |
| Green compound (halogen/antimony-free) | UL 94V-0 rated molding with Br+Cl <1500 ppm - meets automotive and industrial RoHS+ compliance |
| Low-profile SOD123F package | Height ≤1.15 mm - enables use in ultra-thin modules and stacked PCB assemblies |
| Cathode band polarity marking | Visible top-side band - eliminates orientation errors during automated optical inspection (AOI) |
| Matte tin annealed terminals | Solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 - ensures reliable reflow joint formation on OSP and ENIG finishes |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial Current-Sense Reference |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5247B-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Same 22 V nominal, but SOD123 (not SOD123F); 500 mW PD on larger pad; higher ZZT = 35 Ω | Requires larger PCB area; better for higher-power clamping where height >1.15 mm is acceptable | Select when thermal margin >150 mW is needed and board height constraint is relaxed |
| BZX84-C22 (Nexperia) | SOT23 package; 22 V, 250 mW; ZZT = 50 Ω; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher profile (1.3 mm), lower power rating, and non-automotive qualification limit use to commercial-grade systems | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where AEC-Q101 and low height are not required |
Compared with MMSZ5247B-7-F and BZX84-C22, BZT52HC22WF-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.15 mm max height, and 25 Ω zener impedance - making it optimal for automotive and space-constrained industrial voltage references where reliability and precision coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZT52HC22WF-7?
The BZT52HC22WF-7 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 20.8 V to 23.3 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown begins within this window; operation above 23.3 V at rated current risks exceeding power limits. Absolute maximum reverse voltage is not defined beyond the zener range - sustained voltage >23.3 V requires current limiting to stay within 375 mW derated power.
Is BZT52HC22WF-7 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes. BZT52HC22WF-7 uses matte tin-annealed terminals qualified per J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10–30 sec). Its SOD123F package withstands thermal cycling without delamination due to UL 94V-0 green molding compound and optimized leadframe adhesion.
How does the +16.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect circuit design?
The positive temperature coefficient means VZ increases ~16.4 mV per °C rise in junction temperature. In precision references, this drift must be compensated - e.g., by pairing with a negative-TC diode or using temperature-aware calibration. In overvoltage clamps, it provides inherent headroom expansion at elevated ambient temperatures.
Can BZT52HC22WF-7 replace older BZT52C22 parts in existing designs?
Yes, with verification. BZT52HC22WF-7 offers identical 22 V zener voltage but improves on legacy BZT52C22 with AEC-Q101 qualification, halogen-free construction, and tighter ZZT (25 Ω vs. typical 40–50 Ω). Mechanical fit is identical in SOD123F, but layout should confirm cathode band alignment matches existing silkscreen.
