Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B22-QX 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 regulation circuits, ESD protection clamping networks, and biasing stages of sensor interfaces and power management ICs.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B22-QX datasheet, BZX84W-B22-QX pinout, BZX84W-B22-QX application, or BZX84W-B22-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2 %), differential resistance (250 Ω at 5 mA), junction temperature limit (150 °C), and automotive qualification status - all critical for precision reference and harsh-environment reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified Zener voltage of 21.6 V to 22.4 V at IZ = 5 mA, exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of +18.4 mV/K. Its differential resistance of 250 Ω (max) at 5 mA ensures predictable dynamic impedance under varying load conditions.
The device features a non-connected (n.c.) terminal (Pin 2), enabling simplified PCB layout and isolation of unused terminals in high-density designs. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 455 K/W on standard FR4, defining its derating behavior above 25 °C ambient.
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 feedback loops and reference generation |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - enables tighter system-level voltage accuracy without external trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 250 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 - sets maximum continuous DC or low-duty-cycle pulse handling capability |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 50 nA max at VR = 15.4 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 1.25 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - preserves signal integrity in RF-coupled clamp or high-frequency reference paths |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) surface-mount plastic package with 3 leads, leadless construction, and standard footprint per Figure 9 (reflow) and Figure 10 (wave) in the datasheet. Dimensions: 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H), pitch 0.65 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in Zener regulation configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node and serves as regulated output reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics requiring stress-tested reliability |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for post-production calibration in precision voltage reference circuits |
| Low 1.25 pF capacitance | Minimizes signal distortion in high-frequency clamping and RF detector biasing |
| Non-repetitive peak reverse power: 40 W | Withstands transient surges up to 100 µs duration, supporting robust ESD and surge protection functions |
| Thermal resistance: 455 K/W | Enables accurate thermal derating on standard FR4 PCBs without heatsinking |

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 V–23.3 V), higher max differential resistance (250 Ω vs. same), identical package and power rating | Acceptable where system-level tolerance budget allows looser reference accuracy | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for tight voltage stability |
| MMSZ5247B-TP | ±5 % tolerance (21.0 V–23.0 V), SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Larger footprint and no automotive qualification; suited for commercial-grade power supplies | Choose only for non-automotive designs requiring higher power dissipation |
Compared with BZX84W-B22-QX, the BZX84W-C22-Q trades voltage accuracy for broader tolerance compliance, while MMSZ5247B-TP offers higher power but lacks automotive qualification and uses a larger package - making BZX84W-B22-QX optimal for space-constrained, AEC-Q101–compliant 22 V reference needs.

FAQ
What is the Zener test current for BZX84W-B22-QX?
The Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA, as confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet. This current establishes the nominal 22 V regulation point and is used for measuring differential resistance and temperature coefficient. Operating significantly below this current increases dynamic impedance and reduces regulation accuracy.
Is Pin 2 internally connected or truly isolated?
Pin 2 is explicitly designated "n.c." (not connected) in Table 2 and the simplified outline diagram. It is electrically isolated from the die and must not be bonded or soldered to any circuit node. Leaving it unconnected or grounding it via PCB copper (with no electrical tie) is acceptable per Nexperia's layout guidance.
Can BZX84W-B22-QX replace older BZX84-C22 in existing designs?
Yes, with caveats: BZX84W-B22-QX has tighter ±2 % tolerance versus ±5 % for BZX84-C22, identical SOT323 package, and AEC-Q101 qualification. However, its differential resistance (250 Ω max) is higher than legacy BZX84-C22 (typically ~150 Ω), which may affect loop stability in sensitive feedback circuits - verify under actual load conditions.
What is the maximum allowable surge current for transient suppression?
At tp = 100 µs, the non-repetitive peak reverse current IZSM is 1.82 A (calculated from PZSM = 40 W and VZ ≈ 22 V). This value is valid only for single, non-repetitive events; repeated surges require derating per Figure 1 in the datasheet to avoid junction overheating.
