Product details
Overview
BZX79-B22,143 from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with nominal 22 V regulation at 5 mA test current, 60 Ω typical differential resistance, and −20 mV/K temperature coefficient. It operates in low-power stabilization circuits requiring precise reference voltage under 500 mW total dissipation in SOD27 (DO-35) glass package, commonly used in power supply feedback loops and analog sensor biasing.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79-B22,143 datasheet, BZX79-B22,143 pinout, BZX79-B22,143 application, or BZX79-B22,143 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (380 K/W), and real-world use cases for voltage reference design, overvoltage protection, and analog signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage reference, maintaining stable reverse breakdown voltage across varying load currents. Its 22 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZtest = 5 mA, with differential resistance of ≤250 Ω (max) and temperature coefficient of −20 mV/K (typical), indicating negative drift with rising temperature.
Designed for operation up to +200 °C junction temperature, it supports non-repetitive surge handling up to 60 W for 100 μs pulses and exhibits 1.25 A peak reverse current rating under those conditions. The device uses axial-leaded hermetically sealed glass construction for long-term stability and low leakage (≤100 nA at 15.4 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 21.6 V to 22.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - ensures tight regulation window for precision reference applications |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 60 Ω (typ), ≤250 Ω (max) - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | −20 mV/K (typ) - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Max Power Dissipation Ptot | 500 mW at Tamb = 50 °C - defines continuous DC power handling on standard PCB mounting |
| Reverse Leakage IR | ≤100 nA at VR = 15.4 V - critical for low-current bias networks and high-impedance references |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current IZSM | 1.25 A for tp = 100 μs - enables transient overvoltage clamping without damage |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth j-a | 380 K/W - establishes thermal derating curve for ambient temperature operation |

|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5247B,215 | 22 V ±5%, SOT-23 package, 200 mW Ptot, 30 Ω rdif | Surface-mount only; lower power rating limits use in through-hole legacy designs | Select when board space is constrained and thermal management allows lower dissipation |
| 1N4748A | 22 V ±5%, DO-41 package, 1 W Ptot, 23 Ω rdif, higher leakage (1 μA) | Larger footprint and higher power capacity; less precise tolerance affects calibration-critical systems | Choose for higher surge robustness where ±5% tolerance is acceptable in cost-sensitive consumer designs |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZX79-B22,143?
The BZX79-B22,143 has a maximum total power dissipation of 500 mW at ambient temperature of 50 °C with standard PCB mounting (lead length ≤8 mm). Derating is required above 50 °C at 4.2 mW/°C based on its 380 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy?
With a typical temperature coefficient of −20 mV/K, the BZX79-B22,143's Zener voltage decreases by approximately 20 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. At 85 °C junction temperature, this results in ~1.2 V drop from nominal 22 V, requiring thermal design consideration in high-ambient applications.
Can BZX79-B22,143 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - BZX79-B22,143 uses the axial-leaded SOD27 (DO-35) glass package and is not compatible with surface-mount assembly. For SMT alternatives, consider MMBZ5247B,215 (SOT-23) or BZX84-C22 (SOT-23), which differ in tolerance, power rating, and thermal performance.
What is the reverse leakage current at 15.4 V?
At VR = 15.4 V (70% of nominal 22 V), the maximum reverse leakage current is 100 nA, measured at Tj = 25 °C. This low leakage supports high-impedance bias networks and minimizes error in precision voltage divider configurations.
