Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B22-QF from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 22 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 275 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use. It provides stable voltage reference in low-power biasing, overvoltage clamping, and signal-level regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B22-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B22-QF pinout, BZX84W-B22-QF application, or BZX84W-B22-QF equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, differential resistance, temperature coefficient, thermal resistance, and automotive qualification status - all critical for precision analog design and automotive-grade component selection.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown with a nominal VZ of 21.6–22.4 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +18.4 mV/K and differential resistance of 250 Ω at the same current. Its low 1.25 pF capacitance at 1 MHz supports high-frequency stabilization without signal distortion.
Designed for surface-mount reliability, it features a 455 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB and withstands non-repetitive peak reverse power up to 40 W for 100 µs pulses. The anode–cathode–n.c. terminal configuration enables unidirectional clamping with minimal board footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 21.6 V to 22.4 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for 22 V reference applications |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage accuracy without post-production trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 250 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines load regulation sensitivity and output impedance |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +18.4 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise in junction temperature |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC power handling under standard mounting |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA at VR = 15.4 V - specifies leakage level below breakdown, critical for low-power standby circuits |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 1.25 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - enables use in RF coupling and fast transient suppression without capacitive loading |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) leadless surface-mount plastic package with 3 terminals; compact 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node during Zener operation |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node to enable Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood and infotainment systems requiring extended temperature (-55 °C to +150 °C) and reliability compliance |
| Low 1.25 pF capacitance | Minimizes high-frequency signal attenuation in ESD protection and RF bias networks |
| 250 Ω differential resistance | Enables stable regulation under varying load currents up to 5 mA without external compensation |
| 455 K/W thermal resistance | Supports predictable junction temperature rise on standard FR4 boards, simplifying thermal margin analysis |
| Non-repetitive 40 W surge rating | Withstands transient overvoltage events such as ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a in automotive supply lines |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C22-Q | ±5 % tolerance (20.8–23.3 V), higher max leakage (50 nA at 15.4 V vs. 50 nA at same voltage), identical package and power rating | Acceptable where tighter voltage accuracy is not required, e.g., non-critical power monitoring | Select for cost-sensitive designs where 5 % tolerance meets functional safety thresholds |
| MMSZ5247B-TP | ±5 % tolerance (20.9–23.1 V), 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (larger footprint), 300 Ω rdif | Higher power handling but incompatible with ultra-dense SOT323 layouts; requires different PCB land pattern | Choose only if >275 mW continuous dissipation is needed and board space permits larger package |
Compared with BZX84W-C22-Q, the BZX84W-B22-QF offers tighter voltage control essential for precision references; versus MMSZ5247B-TP, it trades power capacity for miniaturization and automotive qualification - making it optimal for space-constrained, AEC-compliant designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZX84W-B22-QF can sustain at 25 °C?
The device sustains up to 12.3 mA continuous reverse current at 22 V, calculated from its 275 mW power rating (Ptot/VZ = 275 mW / 22 V). This assumes ambient temperature remains at 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB; derating applies above that temperature per its 455 K/W thermal resistance.
Does the n.c. pin require PCB routing or grounding?
No - Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain un-routed and un-soldered on the PCB. Routing or grounding it introduces parasitic capacitance and potential contamination risk; the datasheet explicitly defines it as "not connected" with no internal bond wire or die attachment.
How does the +18.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect long-term stability in a 105 °C underhood environment?
At ΔT = 80 K (from 25 °C to 105 °C), the Zener voltage increases by approximately 1.47 V (18.4 mV/K × 80 K), shifting VZ from 22.0 V to ~23.47 V. This is within the device's specified 21.6–22.4 V range at 25 °C but reflects actual operational drift - design margins must accommodate this full shift.
Can BZX84W-B22-QF replace BZX84C22 in existing designs?
Yes, electrically and physically - both share SOT323 package, 22 V nominal Zener voltage, and cathode/anode pinout. However, BZX84W-B22-QF adds AEC-Q101 qualification, tighter ±2 % tolerance, and lower 1.25 pF capacitance, making it suitable for upgraded automotive or high-frequency applications without layout changes.
