Product details
Overview
BZT52HC24WF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal 24 V zener voltage (22.8–25.6 V range), 5 mA test current, and 30 Ω maximum zener impedance at IZT. It provides precision voltage regulation in low-power analog circuits, ESD protection clamping, and reference voltage generation for sensor signal conditioning in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BZT52HC24WF-7 datasheet, BZT52HC24WF-7 pinout, BZT52HC24WF-7 application, or BZT52HC24WF-7 equivalent, this device is selected for stable 24 V clamping in space-constrained PCBs where AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD123F package thermal performance, and <100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient stability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified 24 V nominal regulation point at 5 mA. Its 30 Ω dynamic impedance ensures tight voltage tolerance under varying load currents, while the −18.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-stable references.
The device uses a planar silicon junction structure in a molded SOD123F package with cathode band polarity marking. Thermal resistance is 150 °C/W when mounted on 1 cm² cathode pad, supporting 830 mW power dissipation - critical for transient overvoltage suppression without thermal runaway.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation (PD) | 830 mW at TA = 25°C with 1 cm² cathode pad - enables robust surge handling |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA max at 16.8 V - ensures negligible leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| Capacitance (CT) | 55 pF max at 1 MHz, 0 V - maintains signal integrity in <10 MHz analog sensing paths |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | −18.4 mV/°C - allows accurate thermal drift modeling in automotive ambient ranges |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5242B-TP (Micro Commercial) | 24 V nominal, 35 Ω ZZT, SOD-123 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Non-automotive industrial use only; lacks automotive reliability validation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q101 requirement and thermal margin is >10% |
| BZX84-C24 (Nexperia) | 24 V nominal, 60 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher impedance limits regulation accuracy; smaller SOT-23 limits power handling to 350 mW | Choose only if board space is constrained and peak clamping energy <0.1 J |
Compared with MMSZ5242B-TP and BZX84-C24, BZT52HC24WF-7 delivers superior thermal capability (830 mW vs. ≤350 mW), tighter impedance (30 Ω vs. ≥35 Ω), and full automotive qualification - making it the preferred choice for 24 V rail protection where reliability and power margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for BZT52HC24WF-7 at 100°C ambient?
At 100°C ambient temperature, the device's power dissipation must be derated linearly from 830 mW at 25°C using the 150 °C/W thermal resistance. This yields a maximum of 725 mW (830 mW − (100 − 25) × 150 mW/°C). Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS36891 Rev. 4-2.
Does BZT52HC24WF-7 support bidirectional transient suppression?
No - it is a unidirectional Zener diode optimized for reverse-bias clamping only. Forward conduction occurs at ~0.9 V, but the device is not rated for sustained forward current beyond 250 mA. For bidirectional TVS protection, a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMAJ24A is required.
How does the −18.4 mV/°C temperature coefficient affect voltage regulation accuracy?
Over a −40°C to +125°C range, the coefficient causes a total drift of −2.94 V (165°C × −18.4 mV/°C), shifting the nominal 24 V regulation point to 21.06–26.94 V. System-level compensation (e.g., series resistor trimming or digital calibration) is needed for sub-1% accuracy across full temperature range.
Can BZT52HC24WF-7 be used in place of BZT52C24 in an existing design?
Yes, with verification of thermal layout - both share identical 24 V rating and SOD-123F footprint, but BZT52HC24WF-7 offers higher power (830 mW vs. 500 mW) and AEC-Q101 qualification. No schematic changes are needed, though thermal pad area should match the 1 cm² recommendation for full 830 mW capability.
