Product details
Overview
BZX84B22Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount precision Zener diode with nominal 22 V zener voltage (21.6–22.4 V range), ±2% tolerance, 350 mW power dissipation, and SOT23 package. It regulates voltage in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits for automotive ECUs, sensor signal conditioning, and industrial control I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84B22Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84B22Q-7-F pinout, BZX84B22Q-7-F application, or BZX84B22Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its tight 2% VZ tolerance at 5 mA test current, low 55 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, 0.1 µA maximum reverse leakage at 15.4 V, and automotive-grade reliability per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across a load under varying current conditions. Its 22 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current (IZT), with 55 Ω zener impedance (ZZT) and 250 Ω knee impedance (ZZK) at 0.5 mA, ensuring predictable regulation in precision analog references.
The device features a positive temperature coefficient of +16.4 mV/°C above 12 V, enabling predictable thermal drift compensation in voltage references. Its SOT23 package supports automated placement and reflow soldering, with lead-free matte tin plating and moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ4686-TP (Micro Commercial) | 22 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package | Higher power but looser tolerance; larger footprint requires PCB redesign | Select when higher surge capability is needed and ±5% regulation error is acceptable |
| BZX84-C22 (Nexperia) | 22 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, SOT23, non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not rated for automotive temperature cycling or humidity testing | Acceptable for industrial controls where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with MMSZ4686-TP and BZX84-C22, BZX84B22Q-7-F delivers tighter ±2% regulation and automotive qualification in the same SOT23 footprint-critical for safety-critical voltage references where long-term drift and thermal reliability are design constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84B22Q-7-F?
The BZX84B22Q-7-F exhibits sharp reverse breakdown at 21.6 V minimum and 22.4 V maximum, specified at 5 mA test current (IZT). Below 15.4 V, reverse leakage remains ≤0.1 µA; no defined "maximum reverse voltage" exists outside breakdown-operation is intended only in controlled reverse-bias regulation mode.
Can BZX84B22Q-7-F replace BZX84-C22 in existing designs?
Yes, mechanically-both use SOT23 packaging with identical pinout-but BZX84B22Q-7-F offers ±2% VZ tolerance versus ±5% for BZX84-C22 and is AEC-Q101 qualified. Electrical replacement requires verifying that tighter regulation improves system accuracy and that automotive qualification aligns with end-equipment requirements.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for this device?
When mounted on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout, RθJA is 357 °C/W (Note 6). With terminals held at ambient temperature, it rises to 417 °C/W (Note 5). Derating begins above 25°C ambient per Figure 1, reaching 0 mW at 150°C.
Does this Zener diode require a series current-limiting resistor in all applications?
Yes-BZX84B22Q-7-F must always be used with a series resistor to limit current to ≤350 mW dissipation. For example, at 24 V supply and 22 V regulation, a minimum 11.4 Ω resistor limits current to 175 mA (350 mW). Without it, excessive current causes thermal runaway and permanent failure.
