Product details
Overview
RKZ22B2KG#P1 from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for surge absorption and voltage stabilization in low-power signal and bias circuits. It delivers a nominal Zener voltage of 22.0 V (min 21.54 V, max 22.47 V) at 5 mA, with dynamic resistance of 55 Ω, 200 mW power dissipation, and ESD capability of ±20 kV (IEC61000-4-2, C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω). It is used in overvoltage protection for sensor interfaces and microcontroller I/O clamping.
For engineers reviewing the RKZ22B2KG#P1 datasheet, RKZ22B2KG#P1 pinout, RKZ22B2KG#P1 application, or RKZ22B2KG#P1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 22 V stabilization tolerance, ultra-small URP package footprint, low leakage (<2 µA at 17 V), and suitability for compact PCB layouts requiring high-density SMT placement without thermal derating concerns up to 85°C ambient.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under transient surges or supply variations. Its planar junction structure ensures consistent VZ temperature coefficient (≈+0.04 %/°C near 22 V, per Fig.2), and it is rated for non-repetitive surge reverse power up to ~1.2 W for 10 ms (Fig.4 interpolation).
The device is optimized for surface-mount applications where board space is constrained: the URP (Ultra small Resin Package) measures 1.10 × 1.85 × 0.45 mm (L×W×H), features SC-76A outline, and uses Pb-free & halogen-free construction compliant with JEITA code PTSP0002ZA-A.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22LT1G (ON Semiconductor) | Same 22 V nominal VZ, but SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm); rd = 50 Ω; Pd = 300 mW; ESD = ±8 kV | Larger footprint; higher power rating but lower ESD robustness; requires more PCB area | Select when higher continuous power margin is needed and board space allows SOT-23 |
| MMSZ5247B-TP (Micro Commercial Components) | SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm); VZ = 22.0 V (±5%); rd = 35 Ω; Pd = 500 mW; ESD = ±15 kV | Looser VZ tolerance (±5% vs. ±2.1%), larger size, higher power - less suitable for precision clamping | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-precision surge suppression where tighter VZ tolerance is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C22LT1G and MMSZ5247B-TP, RKZ22B2KG#P1 offers superior ESD immunity (±20 kV), tighter voltage tolerance (±2.1%), and the smallest footprint (1.10 × 1.85 mm), making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial I/O protection where precision clamping and robustness are prioritized over raw power rating.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of RKZ22B2KG#P1 at 5 mA?
The RKZ22B2KG#P1 has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 21.54 V to 22.47 V at IZ = 5 mA, corresponding to a ±2.1% tolerance around the nominal 22.0 V rating. This tight tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the REJ03G1512-0300 datasheet and enables precise voltage clamping in sensitive analog circuits without additional trimming components.
Does RKZ22B2KG#P1 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, RKZ22B2KG#P1 is explicitly specified as a halogen-free and Pb-free device (RKZ-KG P6 Series), compliant with RoHS Directive and qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL 1). Its URP package withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C, making it compatible with automated SMT assembly lines using SAC305 solder paste.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for RKZ22B2KG#P1?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) for RKZ22B2KG#P1 is 2 µA at VR = 17.0 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal power loss and signal distortion in high-impedance bias networks and battery-powered sensor nodes where standby current must be tightly controlled.
Can RKZ22B2KG#P1 be used for ESD protection in USB or CAN interfaces?
RKZ22B2KG#P1 provides ±20 kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD protection, but its 22 V Zener voltage makes it unsuitable for direct USB (5 V) or CAN (dominant 0–3.5 V, recessive 2.0–5.0 V) line protection. It is intended for higher-voltage rails (e.g., 24 V industrial buses, sensor excitation supplies) where clamping above 20 V is acceptable and beneficial for system-level surge immunity.
What is the thermal derating behavior of RKZ22B2KG#P1 above 25°C ambient?
RKZ22B2KG#P1 follows linear thermal derating: its 200 mW power dissipation rating decreases by approximately 1.6 mW/°C above 25°C ambient, reaching zero at 150°C junction temperature (per Fig.3). At 85°C ambient, usable Pd is ~104 mW - sufficient for typical 5 mA Zener current applications with modest PCB copper area.
