Product details
Overview
PZU22B2A,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, and 17 A non-repetitive peak reverse current at 100 µs pulse width. It delivers low differential resistance (≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), tight temperature coefficient (±1.3 mV/K), and optimized leakage for noise-sensitive voltage reference and regulation in compact power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU22B2A,115 datasheet, PZU22B2A,115 pinout, PZU22B2A,115 application, or PZU22B2A,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at low bias current, thermal resistance to solder point (255 K/W), and SC-76 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a precision shunt voltage reference with hard breakdown knee and intentional minor leakage rise to reduce switching noise-per AN90031. Its 22 V nominal Zener voltage is specified at IZ = 5 mA with ±2 % tolerance (B2 series), and it maintains stable regulation across -55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Thermal design relies on low Rth(j-sp) = 255 K/W (cathode pad) and Rth(j-a) = 390 K/W (free air), enabling reliable operation under pulsed surge conditions up to 40 W (100 µs square wave). Reverse current is limited to ≤25 nA at VR = 17.6 V (80 % of VZ) per datasheet Table 8.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 22 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; ±2 % tolerance ensures stable reference within 21.56–22.44 V |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; enables low output impedance for ripple suppression in feedback loops |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤25 nA at VR = 17.6 V; minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-backed circuits |
| Non-repetitive Peak IZSM | 17 A at tp = 100 µs; supports transient overvoltage clamping without degradation |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB; defines continuous DC regulation capability |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | ±1.3 mV/K; enables predictable VZ drift compensation in temperature-stable references |
| Package | SOD323 (SC-76); 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body; compatible with standard reflow soldering footprints |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package with 2 leads, 1.3 mm pitch, and cathode marked by a bar on the device top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct PCB orientation |
| 2 | Anode | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes shunt regulation path during reverse bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance (B2 series) | Enables tighter regulation accuracy than ±5 % variants, reducing need for post-calibration in precision supplies |
| Optimized leakage for noise reduction | Intentional minor IR rise improves fast-switching behavior and suppresses high-frequency noise per AN90031 |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp Zener transition at 22 V ensures clean regulation onset and minimal voltage hysteresis |
| Low Rth(j-sp) = 255 K/W | Supports higher sustained power handling when cathode pad is thermally enhanced on PCB |
| SC-76 footprint compatibility | Matches industry-standard SOD323 land pattern (Fig. 10), enabling drop-in replacement in space-constrained designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22,215 | ±5 % tolerance, 400 mW Ptot, SOT23 package (larger footprint) | Higher power margin but looser voltage accuracy; less suitable for precision references | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy and board space is available |
| MMSZ5247B-7-F | ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOD123 package (1.8 mm × 1.4 mm) | Higher power rating but larger size and no B2-series low-noise optimization | Choose for higher continuous dissipation needs where SC-76 footprint is not mandatory |
Compared with PZU22B2A,115, BZX84-C22,215 trades ±2 % accuracy and SC-76 miniaturization for broader availability and lower unit cost, while MMSZ5247B-7-F offers greater thermal headroom at the expense of noise performance and PCB area.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for PZU22B2A,115 at 25 °C?
The maximum continuous reverse current is determined by the 320 mW total power dissipation limit. At 22 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to approximately 14.5 mA (320 mW ÷ 22 V). Operation above this current requires derating per the thermal resistance curve in Figure 9 of the datasheet.
Does PZU22B2A,115 support wave soldering?
Yes-Nexperia provides dedicated wave soldering footprint guidelines (Figure 11) for SOD323, specifying 1.2 mm × 2.75 mm solder lands and preferred transport direction. Thermal profiling must respect peak temperature ≤260 °C and dwell time ≤5 s to avoid package damage.
How does the B2 tolerance series differ electrically from B1 or B3 in the PZUxBA family?
B2 denotes ±2 % tolerance with center-aligned min/max limits (e.g., PZU22B2A: 21.56–22.44 V). B1 offers tighter ±1 % (21.78–22.22 V) but fewer voltage points; B3 extends to ±3 % (21.34–22.66 V) for cost-sensitive applications-no electrical performance difference beyond tolerance band.
Can PZU22B2A,115 be used in place of a 22 V Zener with ±5 % tolerance?
Yes-pin-compatible and functionally identical, but with improved regulation accuracy. The tighter ±2 % tolerance reduces worst-case output variation by 60 % compared to ±5 % parts, directly improving system-level voltage stability without circuit redesign.
