Product details
Overview
SMAZ22-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal zener voltage of 22.0V (±5%), 25mA maximum zener test current, 180Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT, and 0.5µA maximum reverse leakage at 16.7V. It is used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in DC power rails of industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SMAZ22-13 datasheet, SMAZ22-13 pinout, SMAZ22-13 application, or SMAZ22-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100°C/W), power derating above +50°C, cathode polarity marking, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its 22.0V nominal regulation is specified at IZT = 25mA with VZ range 20.9–23.1V and dynamic impedance ≤180Ω.
Thermal performance is defined for FR-4 PCB mounting (1" × 0.85", 0.062" thick) with RθJT = 30°C/W and RθJA = 100°C/W; power dissipation derates linearly at 10mW/°C above +50°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.0V nominal, 20.9–23.1V range at IZT = 25mA - defines stable regulation point under load |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W at TA = +25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤180Ω at IZT = 25mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5µA at VR = 16.7V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 100°C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for thermal design margin |
| Package | SMA (DO-214AC) - surface-mount outline with cathode band, compatible with automated reflow assembly |
| RoHS Compliance | Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free "Green" device - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, cathode identified by band or notch, weight ≈0.064g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / low-voltage side | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node during reverse-biased regulation |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode acting as shunt voltage regulator to maintain fixed bias point for op-amp circuitry. Use Value: 22V regulation provides headroom above 20mA loop compliance voltage while minimizing self-heating error due to 1.0W rating. | Use Scenario: Clamping transient overvoltage on digital input channels exposed to field wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal transient suppressor placed across input optocoupler terminals. Use Value: 22V breakdown threshold protects 24V-rated input circuitry without false triggering during normal operation. |

Use Scenario: Providing precise voltage reference for TL431-based feedback in isolated flyback converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side shunt reference establishing output voltage setpoint via resistor divider. Use Value: ±5% VZ tolerance and low ZZT ensure <±1% output regulation accuracy under line/load variation. | Use Scenario: Monitoring 24V system rail integrity in rack-mounted ATE chassis with discrete comparator circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable voltage reference against which rail voltage is compared for fault detection. Use Value: Low 0.5µA leakage at 16.7V enables high-impedance sensing without loading the monitored rail. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C22-7-F | 350mW rating, SOT-23 package, 22V ±5%, ZZT ≤ 50Ω @ 5mA | Lower power handling; suited for low-current bias networks, not rail clamping | Select for space-constrained designs where 1.0W dissipation is unnecessary |
| 1N4744A | 1.0W DO-41 through-hole package, 22V ±5%, ZZT ≤ 20Ω @ 11mA | Requires manual or wave soldering; incompatible with SMT-only production | Select only if legacy through-hole assembly is mandated or thermal mass requirement exceeds SMA limits |
Compared with BZX84-C22-7-F and 1N4744A, SMAZ22-13 uniquely balances 1.0W SMT power capability, industry-standard SMA footprint, and tight regulation for industrial 24V systems requiring automated assembly and thermal reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for SMAZ22-13?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Operation at this limit requires strict adherence to derating curves: power must be reduced by 10mW/°C above +50°C ambient, assuming standard FR-4 PCB mounting per Diodes' recommended pad layout.
Does SMAZ22-13 have a specified capacitance value?
No capacitance specification is provided in the DS18015 datasheet. Figure 2 shows typical total capacitance vs. reverse voltage for related SMAZ devices (e.g., SMAZ12, SMAZ27), but no numerical value is given for SMAZ22-13. Designers should treat it as unspecified unless measured or characterized separately.
Can SMAZ22-13 be used in place of a 24V Zener diode?
No - SMAZ22-13 is rated for 22.0V nominal regulation (20.9–23.1V range). For 24V applications, SMAZ24-13 (24.0V, 22.8–25.2V) is the correct variant. Substituting SMAZ22-13 would result in ~2V lower regulation, potentially causing undervoltage faults in 24V systems.
Is the cathode band the only polarity indicator on SMAZ22-13?
Yes - the datasheet specifies polarity is marked by either a cathode band or cathode notch. Visual inspection of production units confirms the band is the standard marking; no additional silkscreen or laser marking is used. The anode is the unmarked end opposite the band.
