Product details
Overview
PDZ22B,115 from Nexperia is a single silicon Zener diode designed for low-power voltage regulation in space-constrained SMD applications, with a nominal Zener voltage of 22 V at 5 mA, ±2 % tolerance, 100 Ω maximum differential resistance at 5 mA, 25 μA maximum reverse current at 17 V, and 400 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB. It operates in general-purpose clamping and reference circuits requiring stable breakdown in consumer power supplies and sensor bias networks.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ22B,115 datasheet, PDZ22B,115 pinout, PDZ22B,115 application, or PDZ22B,115 equivalent, this device is selected for precision low-current voltage reference, overvoltage protection in 24 V rail interfaces, and compact ESD-tolerant biasing where thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W) and cathode-marked SOD323 footprint are critical layout constraints.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining a stable reverse-biased breakdown voltage across its anode–cathode terminals under controlled current conditions. Its hard breakdown knee and low leakage (≤25 μA at VR = 17 V) support accurate threshold detection in low-quiescent circuits.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-ambient resistance of 340 K/W on standard FR4 PCB, limiting continuous operation to ≤25 °C ambient at full 400 mW unless derated per Figure 1. The −18.4 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 5 mA indicates moderate negative drift, suitable for non-critical reference roles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 21.54 V to 22.47 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping level for 22 V nominal rails |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤25 μA at VR = 17 V - enables low-leakage biasing in high-impedance nodes |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum steady-state energy handling |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or polarity indicator |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −18.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift with junction heating |
| Package | SOD323 (SC-76) - 1.35 mm × 0.8 mm footprint ideal for dense PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 plastic surface-mounted package with 2 leads; cathode identified by marking bar on body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; accepts reverse breakdown current during clamping |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes current path during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 100 Ω max at 5 mA enables tight voltage regulation under varying load |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B22 | Same SOD323 package; 22 V nominal, ±2 %, but higher rdif (120 Ω) and higher leakage (50 μA at 17 V) | Less stable under dynamic load; unsuitable for high-impedance bias | Select when cost priority outweighs leakage and impedance requirements |
| MMSZ4686 | SOD123 package (larger); 22.1 V nominal, ±5 %, rdif = 110 Ω, leakage = 50 μA at 17 V | Requires 2.5× more board area; looser tolerance increases calibration burden | Choose only if legacy SOD123 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with BZX384-B22 and MMSZ4686, PDZ22B,115 delivers superior low-current regulation stability (100 Ω rdif, 25 μA leakage) in the smallest SOD323 form factor-critical for miniaturized power management and precision analog sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for PDZ22B,115?
The guaranteed Zener voltage range is 21.54 V to 22.47 V at 5 mA test current. Below 21.54 V, reverse current remains ≤25 μA at 17 V; breakdown is not defined below this minimum specified VZ. Operation below 21.54 V places the device in sub-threshold leakage region, not regulation.
Can PDZ22B,115 be used in series for higher voltage regulation?
No-series connection of Zener diodes introduces mismatched temperature coefficients and dynamic impedances, causing uneven voltage division and thermal runaway risk. For >22 V regulation, use a single higher-voltage Zener (e.g., PDZ24B) or active regulation circuitry.
Is PDZ22B,115 suitable for automotive applications?
No-this device is not AEC-Q200 qualified, lacks automotive-grade screening, and has no specified operation beyond 125 °C junction temperature. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in the legal disclaimers; use only in commercial/industrial environments.
How does the SOD323 package affect thermal performance?
Mounted on standard FR4 PCB, PDZ22B,115 exhibits Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W. At 400 mW dissipation, this yields ~136 °C junction rise above ambient-requiring strict ambient limits (<25 °C) or derating. Thermal relief pads or copper pours reduce Rth(j-a) but are not characterized in the datasheet.
