Product details
Overview
BZX84C22LT1 from onsemi is a 22 V, ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board at 25°C, with 55 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 15.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C22LT1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage (22 V), tolerance (±5%), Zener impedance (55 Ω @ 5 mA), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), and ESD rating (>16 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode with cathode-anode polarity, requiring reverse-bias operation to achieve stable Zener breakdown. Its 22 V nominal regulation is specified at IZT = 5 mA, with guaranteed min/max voltages of 20.8 V and 23.3 V under that condition.
The SOT-23 package features Pin 1 (Anode), Pin 2 (No Connection), and Pin 3 (Cathode), supporting automated placement and reflow soldering up to 260°C for 10 seconds. It delivers 25 µA max reverse leakage at VR = 17.6 V and exhibits 85 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, 20.8–23.3 V range @ 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for feedback or clamping circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 225 mW on FR-5 board @ 25°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 55 Ω @ 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under load current variation |
| Temperature Coefficient | +15.4 mV/°C @ 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift per degree ambient change; positive slope above ~6 V |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 50 nA @ 17.6 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Capacitance (C) | 85 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent nodes |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) HBM - enables robust handling in manual assembly and end-user environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (Case 318, Style 8) surface-mount package with void-free thermosetting plastic case, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and corrosion-resistant finish. Cathode identified by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-bias configuration; carries forward current if forward-biased |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad should tie to this terminal |
| 3 | Cathode | Connected to higher-potential node during Zener operation; polarity band marks this terminal |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5247BLT1 | 22 V nominal, ±5%, but 350 mW rating on FR-4 and 30 Ω ZZT @ 20 mA - lower impedance, higher power | Preferred where higher surge current handling or tighter regulation under variable load is required | Select MMBZ5247BLT1 only if board layout accommodates its slightly larger SOT-23 variant and thermal margin permits higher dissipation |
| BZX84C22LT3G | Identical electrical specs, Pb-free, but supplied on 13-inch tape-and-reel (10,000 pcs) vs. 7-inch (3,000 pcs) for BZX84C22LT1 | Same function and fit; differs only in packaging logistics and RoHS compliance status | Choose BZX84C22LT3G for high-volume production with Pb-free requirement and extended reel length |
Compared with BZX84C22LT1, MMBZ5247BLT1 offers lower Zener impedance and higher power rating but requires verification of thermal layout compatibility, while BZX84C22LT3G provides identical regulation performance with Pb-free assurance and different tape-and-reel configuration - neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacement without checking reel specs and compliance documentation.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the BZX84C22LT1?
The BZX84C22LT1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 20.8 V and 23.3 V when tested at 5 mA (IZT). This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet and applies strictly to the BZX84C22LT1 variant - not the tighter-tolerance BZX84Bxxx series.
Does the BZX84C22LT1 have a connection on Pin 2?
No, Pin 2 of the BZX84C22LT1 is internally unconnected (NC) and must remain electrically floating in the PCB layout. The device uses only Pin 1 (Anode) and Pin 3 (Cathode) for operation. This is explicitly stated in the "Pinout" section on page 3 and confirmed in the Package Dimensions diagram on page 7 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for the BZX84C22LT1?
The BZX84C22LT1 specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 50 nA at VR = 17.6 V, measured at TA = 25°C. This value is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 and reflects worst-case leakage under sub-breakdown conditions - critical for low-power bias network design where leakage could affect accuracy.
Can the BZX84C22LT1 be used in place of the BZX84C22LT3G?
The BZX84C22LT1 and BZX84C22LT3G share identical electrical specifications and SOT-23 mechanical form factor, but differ in packaging (7-inch vs. 13-inch tape-and-reel) and RoHS compliance (Pb-free suffix 'G'). They are functionally interchangeable in circuit design, though BZX84C22LT3G requires verification of Pb-free process compatibility in your assembly line.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the BZX84C22LT1 on FR-5 board?
The BZX84C22LT1 has a thermal resistance (RJA) of 556 °C/W when mounted on FR-5 board, derived from its 225 mW power rating and 25°C ambient condition. This value is directly calculated from PD = 225 mW and derating factor of 1.8 mW/°C, and is essential for estimating junction temperature rise under real operating conditions.
