Product details
Overview
BZT52H-C24-QX from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener diode in SOD123F package, rated for 24 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 830 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage regulation. It operates with 22.8–25.6 V working range, 220 Ω max differential resistance, and 30 μA reverse current at 19.2 V.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52H-C24-QX datasheet, BZT52H-C24-QX pinout, BZT52H-C24-QX application, or BZT52H-C24-QX equivalent, this part supports precision biasing, overvoltage clamping, and reference voltage generation in space-constrained automotive ECUs, ADAS sensor modules, and engine control units where thermal stability and AEC-Q101 compliance are mandatory.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses silicon planar technology with a cathode-anode two-terminal structure optimized for stable reverse-bias operation. Its temperature coefficient of +0.05 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA ensures minimal drift across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient range, and its 70 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance enables reliable power handling on FR4 PCBs with 1 cm² cathode pad.
The device exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA, 55 pF capacitance at 1 MHz/0 V, and non-repetitive peak reverse current capability of 1.25 A (100 μs pulse), making it suitable for transient suppression in low-energy signal rails and feedback loops requiring tight voltage referencing without active regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (Nominal) | 24 V - precise DC reference voltage at 5 mA test current, used for analog sensing and regulator feedback |
| Tolerance | ±5 % - defines 22.8–25.6 V operational window under production variation, critical for margin analysis |
| Ptot | 830 mW - maximum continuous power dissipation on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad, sets upper limit for bias current design |
| rdif | 220 Ω max - dynamic impedance affecting regulation accuracy under load transients; lower values improve line/load regulation |
| IR @ VR = 19.2 V | 30 μA - leakage current below breakdown, determining minimum quiescent current in high-impedance reference circuits |
| Tj max | 150 °C - absolute maximum junction temperature, constraining thermal design in sealed automotive enclosures |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling, enabling use in safety-critical modules |
Pinout & Package
SOD123F surface-mount plastic package: 3.4–3.6 mm length, 2.5–2.7 mm width, 1.0–1.2 mm height, with gull-wing leads and cathode-marking bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries reverse current during Zener conduction |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes bias path for reverse-biased operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 compliant - meets stress-test requirements for HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling, enabling deployment in engine control and body electronics |
| Thermal performance | Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W - enables 11.9 °C/W temperature rise per 100 mW on standard FR4, supporting compact layout without heatsinking |
| Low leakage | IR ≤ 30 μA @ 19.2 V - minimizes standby current in battery-powered modules such as keyless entry receivers and tire pressure sensors |
| Stable voltage reference | SZ = +0.05 mV/K - near-zero temperature coefficient reduces drift to < ±12 mV over –40 to +125 °C junction range |
| Transient robustness | IZSM = 1.25 A (100 μs) - withstands ESD and load-dump-induced surges in 12 V automotive systems without degradation |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZT52H-B24-Q | ±2 % tolerance (23.5–24.5 V), 150 Ω rdif, 25 μA IR @ 19.2 V | Narrower voltage window improves regulation accuracy but increases cost; better for high-precision feedback | Select when tighter VZ tolerance is required and thermal margin allows lower Ptot derating |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | ±5 % tolerance (23.75–25.25 V), SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to industrial/commercial use; lacks automotive qualification and thermal robustness | Acceptable for non-automotive prototypes or cost-sensitive consumer designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZT52H-C24-QX, the BZT52H-B24-Q offers superior regulation accuracy at the expense of higher unit cost and slightly reduced surge immunity, while MMSZ5245B-TP provides footprint compatibility but sacrifices automotive reliability and thermal headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this Zener can handle at 25 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 25 °C with proper PCB thermal design (1 cm² cathode pad), BZT52H-C24-QX supports up to 34.6 mA continuous reverse current-calculated from Ptot = 830 mW and VZ = 24 V-before exceeding its power rating. Derating is required above 25 °C per the 150 °C Tj limit.
Does this part have a defined forward voltage specification?
Yes: forward voltage is specified as ≤ 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA (pulse test, tp ≤ 300 μs). This value reflects typical conduction behavior in forward bias and is relevant for polarity-check circuits or ESD protection configurations where anode-cathode orientation matters.
Can BZT52H-C24-QX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-Zener diodes exhibit negative temperature coefficients and manufacturing spread, causing current hogging when paralleled. Even matched units will thermally diverge, risking thermal runaway. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or switch to an active shunt regulator IC.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect circuit design margin in automotive applications?
The ±5 % tolerance (22.8–25.6 V) requires downstream circuitry-such as ADC reference dividers or comparator thresholds-to accommodate this 2.8 V span. Designers must verify worst-case operation at both extremes across temperature and lifetime, especially in safety-critical functions like overvoltage shutdown.
