Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z22VT5GF from Nexperia is a 22 V ±2 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, with 21.56–22.44 V nominal Zener voltage at IZ = 5 mA, 15.4 Ω differential resistance, and −16.4 to +20.0 mV/K temperature coefficient - used for precision voltage regulation in automotive sensor biasing and low-power supply rail clamping.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z22VT5GF datasheet, SZMM5Z22VT5GF pinout, SZMM5Z22VT5GF application, or SZMM5Z22VT5GF equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values (Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W), cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct alternatives for automotive-grade voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and temperature conditions. It exhibits low differential resistance (15.4 Ω) and tightly controlled voltage tolerance (±2 %), enabling accurate regulation in compact, high-density PCB layouts.
Qualified per AEC-Q101, it supports junction temperatures up to 150 °C and ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C. Its SC-79 package provides minimal footprint (1.25 × 0.85 mm) and low thermal resistance to solder point (Rth(j-sp) = 65 K/W), critical for thermally constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 21.56–22.44 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation point for 22 V rail stabilization |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage accuracy without post-production trimming |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | 15.4 Ω - minimizes output voltage shift under load current variation |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - enables transient overvoltage suppression |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 350 K/W - determines junction-to-ambient temperature rise under steady-state operation |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −16.4 to +20.0 mV/K - quantifies VZ drift vs. junction temperature for thermal design margining |
Pinout & Package
The SZMM5Z22VT5GF uses a 2-terminal SOD523 (SC-79) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.25 × 0.85 × 0.65 mm, with cathode identified by a marking bar on the device body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; polarity-sensitive terminal where Zener breakdown occurs |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes reverse-bias path for regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C22LT1G | Same 22 V ±2 % rating, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.3 mm); Rth(j-a) = 450 K/W | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance limit use in ultra-thin modules | Select when board layout allows larger pad area and thermal performance margin is available |
| MMSZ5248B-TP | 22 V ±5 % tolerance; SOD-123 package; Ptot = 500 mW; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Loose tolerance increases system calibration burden; lacks automotive qualification | Acceptable only for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes without automotive compliance needs |
Compared with BZX584C22LT1G and MMSZ5248B-TP, SZMM5Z22VT5GF offers superior thermal performance in minimal area and guaranteed automotive qualification - making it optimal for production-grade automotive and space-constrained medical designs requiring ±2 % accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for SZMM5Z22VT5GF?
The device is not intended for continuous forward conduction. Its absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA under pulsed conditions (tp ≤ 300 µs), but typical forward voltage is 1.1 V at 100 mA. Forward operation is limited to brief test or surge scenarios - sustained forward bias risks thermal runaway and permanent damage.
Can SZMM5Z22VT5GF replace a 24 V Zener in an existing design?
No - its nominal Zener voltage is 22 V (21.56–22.44 V range), not 24 V. Substituting it for a 24 V part would reduce regulation voltage by ~2 V, potentially causing undervoltage faults in downstream circuitry. Use SZMM5Z24VT5G for 24 V applications.
How does the marking code 'ED' identify this device?
'ED' is the top-side laser marking for SZMM5Z22VT5GF per Nexperia's standard coding table. It appears adjacent to the cathode band on the SOD523 package and uniquely identifies the 22 V variant within the SZMM5Z series - enabling visual verification during assembly and rework.
Is thermal derating required above 25 °C ambient?
Yes - total power dissipation must be linearly reduced above 25 °C using the thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 350 K/W. For example, at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable Ptot drops to 129 mW ((150 °C − 85 °C) / 350 K/W), ensuring junction temperature stays within 150 °C limit.
