Product details
Overview
BZX84-B24/LF1R from NXP Semiconductors is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT23 (TO-236AB) package, rated for 24 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 250 mW total power dissipation, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84-B24/LF1R datasheet, BZX84-B24/LF1R pinout, BZX84-B24/LF1R application, or BZX84-B24/LF1R equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal limits, reverse current behavior at 22 V, differential resistance of 60 Ω, and temperature coefficient of +18.4 mV/K - all critical for precision biasing, overvoltage clamping, and reference design in constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BZX84-B24/LF1R operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator, maintaining stable reverse-biased conduction above its 23.5–24.5 V breakdown range. Its 60 Ω differential resistance ensures low dynamic impedance under 5 mA test current, while the +18.4 mV/K positive temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in temperature-varying environments.
Designed for surface-mount operation on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it supports non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W (100 µs pulse) and junction temperatures from −65 °C to +150 °C. The device is not connected internally at pin 2, confirming true two-terminal functionality despite its three-pin SOT23 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VZ) | 23.5 V to 24.5 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail protection |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sets continuous DC bias limit without heatsinking |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 60 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - determines output impedance stability under load variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.05 µA max at VR = 22 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +18.4 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius for thermal error budgeting |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 1.25 A at tp = 100 µs - supports transient surge suppression in ESD-critical circuits |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA - confirms low-loss forward conduction during polarity reversal events |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mounted package, 3-lead, 2.8 mm × 1.4 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, with standard 4 mm tape-and-reel packing (3000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Anode connection | DC input node for reverse-bias configuration; connects to lower-potential side of regulated circuit |
| 2 (n.c.) | Not connected | No internal bond wire; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress |
| 3 (Cathode) | Cathode connection | Reference/output node; ties to regulated voltage rail or feedback point in shunt regulator topology |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock testing |
| ±2 % voltage tolerance | Tighter regulation than ±5 % (BZX84-C) variants, enabling higher-accuracy references without trimming |
| Low differential resistance | 60 Ω ensures minimal output voltage shift across 1–10 mA operating range in feedback loops |
| FR4 PCB thermal performance | Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W allows direct mounting without thermal vias in low-power applications |
| Non-repetitive surge capability | 40 W peak power handling supports IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection up to ±15 kV contact discharge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5249BS-7-F | 24 V, ±5 % tolerance, 350 mW Ptot, SOT23 package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Higher power rating but looser tolerance; suitable for non-automotive consumer power rails | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and tighter voltage accuracy |
| Vishay BZX84-C24-TP | 24 V, ±5 % tolerance, 300 mW Ptot, SOT23, AEC-Q101 qualified | Same automotive qualification but wider tolerance; higher leakage (0.1 µA at 22 V) | Choose where robustness matters more than precision - e.g., bulk clamping in motor drive gate drivers |
Compared with MMBZ5249BS-7-F and BZX84-C24-TP, the BZX84-B24/LF1R provides superior voltage accuracy (±2 % vs. ±5 %) and lower leakage (0.05 µA), making it optimal for precision reference and automotive-compliant designs where regulation tightness directly impacts system-level measurement fidelity.

FAQ
What is the exact breakdown voltage range for BZX84-B24/LF1R?
The BZX84-B24/LF1R has a guaranteed breakdown voltage range of 23.5 V to 24.5 V at 5 mA test current, reflecting its ±2 % tolerance specification. This range is validated per NXP's Product Data Sheet Rev. 6 (2014) Table 8, and applies under Tj = 25 °C conditions. The BZX84-B24/LF1R maintains this tolerance across its qualified operating temperature range.
Is BZX84-B24/LF1R suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the BZX84-B24/LF1R is AEC-Q101 qualified per Section 8.1 of the NXP datasheet, confirming compliance with stress tests for discrete semiconductors in automotive environments. Its construction, thermal ratings, and reliability validation make the BZX84-B24/LF1R appropriate for under-hood and cabin modules where temperature cycling and long-term stability are critical.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX84-B24/LF1R at 22 V?
The BZX84-B24/LF1R exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.05 µA at VR = 22 V and Tj = 25 °C, as specified in Table 8 of the NXP datasheet. This ultra-low leakage supports high-impedance reference nodes and minimizes error in precision analog circuits where the BZX84-B24/LF1R serves as a stable bias source.
Does BZX84-B24/LF1R have a connected third pin?
No, pin 2 of the BZX84-B24/LF1R is explicitly marked "n.c." (not connected) in Table 2 of the NXP datasheet. It has no internal bond wire or silicon connection. PCB layout must leave this terminal unconnected to prevent mechanical stress or unintended coupling - the BZX84-B24/LF1R functions as a true two-terminal device despite its three-pin SOT23 package.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for BZX84-B24/LF1R?
The BZX84-B24/LF1R has a thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rth(j-a)) of 500 K/W when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and tin-plated finish, per Table 6 of the NXP datasheet. This value assumes free-air convection and defines the worst-case temperature rise (ΔT = P × Rth) for derating calculations at elevated ambient temperatures.
