Product details
Overview
NZX22B,133 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 22 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5% tolerance, 35 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and ≤0.1 µA reverse leakage at VR = 18.9 V - used in low-power reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NZX22B,133 datasheet, NZX22B,133 pinout, NZX22B,133 application, or NZX22B,133 equivalent, this part serves as a stable, low-leakage, axial-leaded Zener solution for analog voltage clamping, power supply feedback, and signal-level regulation where thermal stability and long-term reliability in industrial ambient conditions are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage of 22 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient near zero at this bias point to minimize drift across operating temperature ranges. Its hermetic glass package ensures stable electrical characteristics under humidity and thermal cycling stress.
The device complies with IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings, supports continuous forward current up to 250 mA, and delivers 500 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - with thermal resistance from junction to ambient rated at 380 K/W on FR4 PCB without copper pour.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22 V nominal, min 21.6 V / max 22.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for feedback or protection circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 35 Ω typical at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and output impedance in shunt regulator configurations |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 18.9 V - enables ultra-low quiescent current operation in battery-powered or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 500 mW maximum at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets usable DC or pulsed power envelope for thermal design margin |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤1.5 V at IF = 200 mA - supports bidirectional transient suppression when used with series resistor in AC-coupled paths |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +175 °C - allows deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |
| Package | SOD27 (SC-40), axial-leaded, hermetically sealed glass - provides moisture immunity and long-term parameter stability vs. plastic-packaged alternatives |
Pinout & Package
SOD27 (SC-40) is a small hermetically sealed glass package with two axial leads; the black band marks the cathode terminal. Mounting requires ≤8 mm lead length on FR4 PCB for thermal performance compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (banded end) | Cathode | Connected to regulated voltage node; reverse-biased during Zener operation; carries full load current in shunt configuration |
| 2 (non-banded end) | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes current path during regulation or forward conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic glass sealing | Prevents parameter drift due to humidity ingress - critical for long-life industrial instrumentation and telecom infrastructure |
| Low differential resistance | 35 Ω typical at 5 mA - improves regulation accuracy under varying load currents in precision reference applications |
| Low leakage current | ≤0.1 µA at 18.9 V - minimizes error in high-impedance voltage divider networks and extends battery life in portable devices |
| Stable temperature coefficient | Near-zero TC around 22 V at IZ = 5 mA - reduces output voltage drift over −55 °C to +150 °C operating range |
| IEC 60134 compliant limiting values | Rated for 250 mA forward current and 500 mW total dissipation - enables robust surge handling in transient-prone power rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55C22 | Plastic SOD-523 package; 22 V ±5%, rdif = 55 Ω; IR = 0.1 µA at 18.9 V | Limited to ≤150 °C junction temp; higher thermal resistance (500 K/W); not hermetically sealed | Select for cost-sensitive consumer designs where long-term humidity exposure is absent and thermal margin is sufficient. |
| 1N4742A | DO-41 package; 22 V ±5%, rdif = 23 Ω; IR = 5 µA at 18 V; Ptot = 1 W | Larger footprint; higher leakage; less stable TC; suitable only for non-critical, high-current shunt use | Choose when >500 mW continuous dissipation is needed and board space permits axial DO-41 mounting. |
Compared with BZX55C22 and 1N4742A, NZX22B,133 offers superior long-term stability via hermetic sealing, tighter thermal resistance control, and lower leakage - making it preferred for metrology-grade references and harsh-environment industrial systems where parameter drift must be minimized over 10+ years.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for NZX22B,133?
The NZX22B,133 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning the actual measured VZ falls between 21.6 V and 22.6 V when tested at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C. This tolerance is guaranteed per Nexperia's product data sheet Rev. 4 and applies to all units in production lot traceability.
Can NZX22B,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - NZX22B,133 uses the axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) hermetic glass package and is not compatible with SMT reflow or pick-and-place processes. It requires through-hole mounting with ≤8 mm lead length on FR4 PCB to meet thermal resistance specifications. For SMT alternatives, consider BZX384-B22 or MMBZ5242B.
What is the maximum allowable forward current for NZX22B,133?
The absolute maximum forward current is 250 mA per IEC 60134 limiting values. At IF = 200 mA, forward voltage is guaranteed ≤1.5 V. Exceeding 250 mA risks permanent junction damage even for short pulses, and sustained forward conduction above 100 mA requires thermal derating per Rth(j-a) = 380 K/W.
How does the temperature coefficient behave at 22 V?
At 22 V nominal Zener voltage, the NZX22B,133 exhibits a near-zero temperature coefficient (≈0 mV/K) when biased at IZ = 5 mA, as confirmed by Fig 4 in the datasheet. This minimizes voltage drift over −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, making it ideal for reference circuits where thermal stability is critical.
