Product details
Overview
BZX84C24_D87Z from ON Semiconductor (formerly Fairchild) is a 24 V ±5% surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with typical zener impedance of 25 Ω at 20 mA and reverse leakage current ≤0.05 µA at 16.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C24_D87Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at operating current, thermal resistance (RJA = 465°C/W), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility in space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable DC voltage across its terminals. It exhibits a positive temperature coefficient above ~5 V, with BZX84C24_D87Z showing +18.4 mV/°C drift at 5 mA, enabling predictable thermal behavior in bias networks and feedback loops.
Designed for operation at nominal test currents of 1 mA, 5 mA, and 20 mA, it delivers specified VZ min/max bounds (22.8–25.6 V at 5 mA) and supports low-duty-cycle transient clamping via IFRM = 250 mA peak forward current rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.8–25.6 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output range under standard test condition |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 25 Ω max at IZ = 20 mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on FR-4 PCB |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 16.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Thermal Resistance (RJA) | 465°C/W - indicates junction-to-ambient heat transfer efficiency on standard 76.2 × 114.3 mm board |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 (TO-236AB), 3-terminal plastic surface-mount package with cathode marked by band; standard pin assignment applies across BZX84C series.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables tight regulation without external trimming in cost-sensitive consumer and industrial supplies |

Applications
| Power Supply Reference | Overvoltage Clamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing feedback voltage in isolated DC-DC converter secondary-side error amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role: Provides precise 24 V reference for optocoupler input biasing and TL431-type comparator thresholds. Use Value: Maintains <±1% output regulation across line/load variations due to tight VZ tolerance and low ZZ. | Use Scenario: Protecting microcontroller I/O pins from ESD-induced transients exceeding 18 V. IC Role / Device Role: Shunts excess energy to ground when input voltage exceeds 24 V breakdown threshold. Use Value: Limits clamped voltage to ≤25.6 V with fast response, preventing latch-up in 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |
| Sensor Bias Network | ADC Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Supplying stable excitation voltage to resistive bridge sensors in industrial pressure transducers. IC Role / Device Role: Acts as low-noise, low-drift voltage source for Wheatstone bridge top rail. Use Value: Delivers <10 ppm/°C effective tempco when combined with resistor ratio matching, improving measurement accuracy. | Use Scenario: Preventing damage to SAR ADC input front-end during hot-plug events in data acquisition modules. IC Role / Device Role: Clamps analog input to safe level before signal conditioning amplifier stage. Use Value: Ensures input stays within −0.3 V to VDD + 0.3 V range while adding <1 pF parasitic capacitance to preserve bandwidth. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5249BS-7-F | Same 24 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, but rated for 225 mW and RJA = 400°C/W | Lower power rating requires derating above 70°C ambient; tighter ZZ = 20 Ω at 20 mA | Prefer for thermally constrained layouts where lower thermal resistance improves reliability |
| 1SMA5929BT3G | Higher 1.5 W power rating, DO-214AC package, VZ = 24 V ±5%, ZZ = 15 Ω at 41 mA | Requires larger PCB area; suited for surge-heavy industrial inputs rather than signal-level regulation | Choose when clamping high-energy transients (>100 A surge) where SOT-23 cannot sustain energy |
Compared with MMBZ5249BS-7-F and 1SMA5929BT3G, BZX84C24_D87Z offers optimal balance of SOT-23 footprint, 250 mW capability, and 25 Ω impedance for general-purpose voltage referencing-making it ideal for space-limited, moderate-power analog subsystems where thermal management is feasible.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for BZX84C24_D87Z at 5 mA test current?
The BZX84C24_D87Z has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 22.8 V to 25.6 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C, per the official ON Semiconductor datasheet Rev. 1.10. This 5% tolerance band reflects manufacturing spread and ensures predictable regulation performance in production designs using BZX84C24_D87Z.
Does BZX84C24_D87Z support operation at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes, BZX84C24_D87Z is rated for continuous operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature. At elevated ambient temperatures, derating is required: its 250 mW power dissipation limit decreases linearly above 25°C based on RJA = 465°C/W, reaching zero at approximately 76°C ambient on standard FR-4 PCB per the absolute maximum ratings table in the BZX84C24_D87Z datasheet.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for BZX84C24_D87Z?
The BZX84C24_D87Z specifies a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 0.05 µA at VR = 16.8 V and TA = 25°C. This low leakage enables use in high-impedance bias networks and precision reference dividers where current draw must remain below 100 nA, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the BZX84C24_D87Z datasheet.
Can BZX84C24_D87Z be used for ESD protection in USB or GPIO lines?
BZX84C24_D87Z is not optimized for ESD protection: its 250 mW rating and 25 Ω impedance are insufficient for IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (15 kV air) events. While it can clamp slow overvoltages, dedicated TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA are recommended for robust ESD immunity. BZX84C24_D87Z serves best as a voltage reference-not an ESD suppressor-in systems using BZX84C24_D87Z.
Is the SOT-23 package of BZX84C24_D87Z compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes, the SOT-23 package of BZX84C24_D87Z supports standard lead-free reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Its plastic body withstands peak temperatures up to 260°C for 10 seconds, and thermal resistance values (RJA, RJL) in the BZX84C24_D87Z datasheet confirm suitability for automated assembly. No special process adjustments are needed beyond standard SMT guidelines for discrete diodes.
