Product details
Overview
BZT52H-A24X from Nexperia is a precision Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD123F package, designed for stable 24 V reference and clamping in low-power analog circuits. It delivers ±1 % tolerance at IZ = 5 mA, 220 Ω differential resistance, and operates with ≤ 830 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - used in power supply feedback loops and overvoltage protection stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-A24X datasheet, BZT52H-A24X pinout, BZT52H-A24X application, or BZT52H-A24X equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24.0 V nominal Zener voltage (23.76–24.24 V range), low temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K, 55 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, and SOD123F surface-mount compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable DC reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. Its design centers on tight voltage regulation (±1 %), low dynamic impedance (220 Ω max at 5 mA), and thermal stability across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
The device uses silicon planar technology with cathode-anode polarity marked by a bar on the SOD123F body. It supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 1.25 A (100 μs pulse) and exhibits predictable reverse current behavior below 0.1 μA at VR = 19.2 V (80 % of VZ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 24.0 V nominal (23.76–24.24 V min/max at IZ = 5 mA); enables precise 24 V rail sensing and regulation |
| Tolerance | ±1 %; ensures minimal unit-to-unit variation in voltage-critical feedback networks |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤ 220 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; maintains low output impedance for stable reference under load changes |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 830 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad; defines maximum continuous DC power handling |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤ 0.1 μA at VR = 19.2 V; guarantees negligible leakage in high-impedance bias/reference paths |
| Capacitance Cd | 55 pF at f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V; limits high-frequency noise coupling in signal conditioning circuits |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA; allows use as low-drop rectifier or clamp in dual-polarity protection schemes |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F is a compact, flat-lead surface-mount plastic package measuring 3.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm (L × W × H), optimized for automated reflow assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct orientation during placement |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased operation requires anode at lower voltage than cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-precision voltage regulation | ±1 % tolerance at 5 mA ensures < ±0.24 V deviation in 24 V reference applications |
| Low thermal drift | +0.05 mV/K temperature coefficient minimizes voltage shift over industrial temperature range |
| Robust surge capability | Withstands 1.25 A non-repetitive peak reverse current (100 μs pulse) for transient overvoltage suppression |
| Space-efficient packaging | SOD123F footprint occupies only 6.12 mm² PCB area, supporting miniaturized power management designs |
| Low leakage performance | < 0.1 μA reverse current at 80 % VZ preserves accuracy in high-impedance voltage divider networks |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Microcontroller Reset Circuit |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in isolated DC-DC converter secondary-side regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides precise 24 V reference to optocoupler input, enabling accurate output voltage control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B24 | ±2 % tolerance (23.5–24.5 V), 220 Ω rdif, same SOD123F package | Acceptable where tighter regulation not required; higher production yield lowers cost | Select when system-level calibration compensates for wider voltage spread |
| MMSZ5245B | ±5 % tolerance (22.8–25.2 V), 30 Ω rdif, SOD-123 package (mechanically identical) | Higher dynamic impedance improves noise rejection but reduces regulation accuracy | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where ±5 % is acceptable and lower rdif aids transient response |
Compared with BZT52H-A24X, BZT52H-B24 trades 1 % precision for broader availability and lower unit cost, while MMSZ5245B offers lower dynamic impedance at the expense of voltage accuracy - making the A24X optimal for closed-loop feedback requiring traceable 24 V references.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the BZT52H-A24X can handle at 25 °C?
The BZT52H-A24X is rated for continuous operation at up to 250 mA forward current, but as a Zener diode, its reverse (Zener) current is limited by power dissipation. At 24 V and 25 °C ambient, the maximum continuous Zener current is 34.6 mA (830 mW ÷ 24 V), assuming ideal thermal conditions and no derating.
Does the BZT52H-A24X meet automotive qualification standards?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (Rev. 7, January 2023), the BZT52H series is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified. Automotive-grade alternatives are available under the -Q suffix (e.g., BZT52H-A24X-Q) and undergo AEC-Q101 stress testing.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over –40 °C to +125 °C?
With a specified +0.05 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 2 mA, the BZT52H-A24X exhibits approximately ±1.25 V drift over a 250 K span (–40 °C to +125 °C). However, actual drift is nonlinear and minimized near 24 V due to curvature compensation in the Zener structure.
Can the BZT52H-A24X be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No. Parallel connection of Zener diodes is not recommended due to mismatched breakdown voltages causing current hogging. For higher power, use a single higher-rated device (e.g., BZX84-A24 in SOT23) or add a series ballast resistor to balance current sharing.
