Product details
Overview
PZU22B1A,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 22 V nominal working voltage, 320 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, and 18.4 A non-repetitive peak reverse current under 100 µs surge. It delivers low dynamic impedance (≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), tight temperature coefficient (±1.3 mV/K), and is used for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU22B1A,115 datasheet, PZU22B1A,115 pinout, PZU22B1A,115 application, or PZU22B1A,115 equivalent, this device serves as a stable, surface-mount Zener solution where ±2 % regulation accuracy, fast transient response, and minimal leakage (≤25 nA at 0.5 mA) are required in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with hard knee characteristics optimized for stable reference generation. Its differential resistance remains ≤100 Ω at 5 mA test current, ensuring minimal output voltage variation under load shifts.
The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of ±1.3 mV/K across its operating range, enabling predictable drift compensation in bias networks. Its 1.3 mm pitch, 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm SOD323 footprint supports high-density PCB layouts while maintaining thermal resistance of 255 K/W to solder point.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B22,115 | Same 22 V ±2 % rating, but higher typical dynamic resistance (120 Ω vs. ≤100 Ω) and higher leakage (≤50 nA vs. ≤25 nA) | Less suitable for ultra-low-leakage bias networks; acceptable for general-purpose clamping | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs leakage or impedance requirements |
| MMSZ5247B-7-F | 22 V ±5 % tolerance, larger SOD-123 package (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm), higher Ptot (500 mW), but looser tolerance and higher rdif (150 Ω) | Better thermal margin in high-ambient environments, but reduced regulation accuracy | Select when board space permits larger footprint and ±5 % tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with BZX384-B22,115 and MMSZ5247B-7-F, PZU22B1A,115 offers superior regulation precision, lower leakage, and smaller footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-accuracy analog designs where thermal budget is moderate.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for PZU22B1A,115?
The maximum continuous power dissipation is 320 mW at ambient temperature ≤25 °C when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated, and standard SOD323 footprint. Derating is required above 25 °C per the thermal resistance specification of 255 K/W to solder point.
How does the ±2 % tolerance affect circuit design compared to ±5 % Zeners?
The ±2 % tolerance reduces initial voltage error from ±1.1 V to ±0.44 V at 22 V, minimizing calibration overhead in precision references and improving consistency across production batches in feedback networks and analog signal chains.
Can PZU22B1A,115 be used in place of a 22 V Zener with different package types?
Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the SOD323 (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm) footprint and thermal constraints are met. It is not a direct drop-in replacement for larger packages like DO-35 or SOD-123 without layout revision, due to differing thermal resistance and solder pad geometry.
What is the significance of the 'B1' suffix in PZU22B1A,115?
The 'B1' suffix denotes the ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance grade within the PZUxBA series. It also indicates optimized electrical characteristics-including lower dynamic impedance and tighter temperature coefficient-compared to 'B' (±5 %) variants of the same nominal voltage.
