Product details
Overview
HZC22TRF-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode optimized for surge absorption in low-power signal line protection circuits, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V (20.88–23.17 V), 150 mW power dissipation, 55 Ω dynamic resistance at 5 mA, and ESD capability of ±30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2, C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω). It is housed in an ultra-small Flat Lead Package (UFP, SC-79) for space-constrained SMT designs.
For engineers reviewing the HZC22TRF-E datasheet, HZC22TRF-E pinout, HZC22TRF-E application, or HZC22TRF-E equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, temperature coefficient (−0.02 %/°C at 22 V), junction temperature limit (150 °C), and compatibility with low-energy transient suppression in USB, I²C, and sensor interface lines.
Technical Context
The HZC22TRF-E operates as a precision voltage reference and clamping device in reverse-biased mode, with Zener breakdown characterized by tight voltage distribution (±5% at 22 V) and low dynamic impedance to ensure stable clamping during fast transients. Its epitaxial planar structure provides consistent avalanche characteristics and improved thermal stability over diffused-junction alternatives.
Designed for surface-mount surge absorb applications, the device delivers repeatable performance under repetitive 40 ms pulse stress up to 150 mW and maintains ESD robustness across both forward and reverse polarity - critical for bidirectional data line protection in consumer and industrial electronics.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode surge absorb applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C22 (ON Semiconductor) | Through-hole DO-35 package; 500 mW rating; ±5% VZ tolerance; higher rd (70 Ω) | Requires PCB real estate and wave soldering; suited for prototyping or legacy repair | Select when mechanical robustness or hand-solderability outweighs size constraints |
| MMBZ5248B (Diodes Inc.) | SOT-23 package; 200 mW rating; 22.8 V nominal VZ; tighter tolerance (±5%) but higher γZ (−0.08 %/°C) | Better power handling than HZC22TRF-E but less stable over temperature in wide-range environments | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs where thermal drift is secondary to peak power |
Compared with BZX55C22 and MMBZ5248B, the HZC22TRF-E offers superior space efficiency (SC-79 vs. DO-35/SOT-23), lowest thermal drift among 22 V Zeners, and best-in-class ESD immunity - making it optimal for miniaturized, high-reliability signal line protection.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the HZC22TRF-E?
The HZC22TRF-E has a Zener voltage range of 20.88 V to 23.17 V at 5 mA test current, representing a ±5% tolerance around the nominal 22 V rating. This tight distribution ensures predictable clamping behavior in precision protection circuits and is verified per Renesas' HZC Series datasheet Rev. 2.00 (Jul 2005). The HZC22TRF-E maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Does the HZC22TRF-E support bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes, the HZC22TRF-E provides symmetrical ±30 kV ESD protection in both forward and reverse directions per IEC 61000-4-2 (C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω), confirmed in the official Renesas HZC Series datasheet. Its planar Zener structure enables consistent breakdown characteristics regardless of polarity, making the HZC22TRF-E suitable for protecting bidirectional communication lines such as USB D+/D− or I²C SDA/SCL without additional components.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the HZC22TRF-E above 25°C?
The HZC22TRF-E exhibits linear thermal derating from 150 mW at 25°C ambient down to zero power dissipation at 150°C junction temperature, as shown in Figure 2 of the Renesas HZC Series datasheet. Its thermal resistance (RθJA) is approximately 667 °C/W, meaning each 1°C rise above 25°C reduces allowable power by ~1.25 mW. This behavior must be accounted for in enclosed or high-temperature environments where the HZC22TRF-E is deployed.
Can the HZC22TRF-E replace standard 22 V Zener diodes in existing designs?
The HZC22TRF-E can replace other 22 V Zener diodes only if the target design accommodates its SC-79 (UFP) package footprint and requires its specific combination of low dynamic resistance (55 Ω), high ESD rating (±30 kV), and negative temperature coefficient (−0.02 %/°C). Due to its ultra-small size and unique electrical profile, direct substitution into through-hole or larger SMT footprints is not feasible without PCB revision. Always verify layout compatibility before integrating the HZC22TRF-E.
Is the HZC22TRF-E compliant with RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements?
Yes, the HZC22TRF-E is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Renesas confirms compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) and related environmental standards, as stated in their general product notices. The device uses matte tin plating and meets MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, allowing uninterrupted use in standard SMT processes without baking. Full compliance documentation is available upon request for the HZC22TRF-E.
