Product details
Overview
BZX384-B22-QX from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 22 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 300 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-B22-QX datasheet, BZX384-B22-QX pinout, BZX384-B22-QX application, or BZX384-B22-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 22 V Zener voltage tolerance, low 250 mA forward current limit, 150 °C junction temperature rating, and automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased Zener diode with sharp breakdown at 22 V (IZ = 5 mA), exhibiting 15.4 mV/K temperature coefficient and ≤250 Ω differential resistance. It delivers stable regulation under DC or low-frequency transient conditions.
Designed for precision voltage clamping and reference functions, it supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 40 W (tp = 100 μs) and maintains <1.1 V forward voltage at 100 mA, enabling use in both regulation and protection roles within compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; ±2 % tolerance ensures tight regulation in feedback loops |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C; limits continuous thermal load on FR4 PCBs |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤250 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; determines output impedance and regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 17.6 V; defines leakage-induced error in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 μs; provides transient overvoltage suppression capability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B22-Q | Identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (QX = 10,000 pcs/reel, Q = 3,000 pcs/reel) | No functional difference; suitable for identical automotive and industrial designs | Select BZX384-B22-QX for high-volume automated assembly requiring larger reels |
| MMSZ5247B-TP | 22 V ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package; higher power but looser tolerance and no AEC-Q101 rating | Acceptable for non-automotive consumer power supplies where cost and power margin outweigh precision needs | Choose only if AEC-Q101 is not required and 500 mW headroom justifies larger footprint |
Compared with BZX384-B22-QX, the BZX384-B22-Q offers identical performance in smaller reels for prototyping, while MMSZ5247B-TP trades automotive qualification and tight tolerance for higher power and lower unit cost in non-safety-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZX384-B22-QX at 25 °C ambient?
The device supports up to 13.6 mA continuous Zener current at 25 °C ambient, calculated from Ptot = 300 mW and VZ = 22 V (I = P/V). Derating is required above 25 °C per the 415 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Does BZX384-B22-QX support wave soldering?
Yes - Nexperia provides dedicated wave soldering footprints for SOD323 (Fig. 13), specifying 2.75 mm transport direction length and 1.2 mm solder land width. Thermal profile must stay within JEDEC J-STD-020 limits to avoid package cracking.
How does the 15.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
At 22 V nominal, a 15.4 mV/K coefficient causes ~1.54 V drift over a 100 K range (−40 °C to +60 °C), but actual variation is mitigated by operating current and thermal coupling. Data sheet Fig. 7 confirms <±0.3 V deviation from 25 °C value across −40 °C to +125 °C at IZ = 5 mA.
Can BZX384-B22-QX replace older BZX384-B22 variants without layout changes?
Yes - BZX384-B22-QX uses the same SOD323 package outline (Fig. 11), identical pinning (cathode bar on Pin 1), and matches mechanical dimensions (2.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm). No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement of legacy BZX384-B22 parts.
