Overview
BZX84C24 RFG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 24 V, power dissipation 300 mW, and SOT-23 package, designed for precision voltage reference and low-voltage stabilization in DC/DC converters and lighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C24 RFG datasheet, BZX84C24 RFG pinout, BZX84C24 RFG application, or BZX84C24 RFG equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5% at 24 V), zener impedance (70 Ω at 5 mA), temperature coefficient (+18.4 mV/°C), and halogen-free green compound compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-die, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable reverse-breakdown regulation under controlled current conditions. It features a nominal zener voltage of 24 V with min/max limits of 22.8 V and 25.6 V at test current IZT = 5 mA, and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +18.4 mV/°C.
Thermal performance is defined by a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 417 °C/W and a maximum junction temperature of +150 °C. Its SOT-23 package supports automated assembly and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5248BS-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 24 V nominal, 350 mW PD, 100 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Higher power rating but higher dynamic impedance reduces regulation precision | Preferred where higher surge tolerance is needed; verify thermal margin in compact layouts |
| BZX84-C24,115 (Nexperia) | 24 V nominal, 300 mW PD, 70 Ω ZZT, same SOT-23, AEC-Q200 qualified | Automotive-grade qualification adds reliability testing not required for industrial use | Choose when automotive qualification or extended temperature validation is mandated |
Compared with BZX84C24 RFG, MMBZ5248BS-7-F offers higher power headroom but sacrifices regulation accuracy, while BZX84-C24,115 delivers identical electrical specs with added automotive qualification-increasing cost and lead time without benefit in non-automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of BZX84C24 RFG?
The BZX84C24 RFG has a nominal zener voltage of 24 V with a guaranteed range of 22.8 V to 25.6 V at test current IZT = 5 mA, corresponding to ±5% tolerance. This specification is verified per the manufacturer's electrical test conditions and applies across the full operating temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C.
Does BZX84C24 RFG meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, BZX84C24 RFG is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, as confirmed by its "G" suffix in the ordering code and documentation in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet Version F2001. The green compound formulation eliminates brominated flame retardants and chlorine-based additives.
What is the zener impedance of BZX84C24 RFG and why does it matter?
The BZX84C24 RFG has a typical zener impedance (ZZT) of 70 Ω at IZT = 5 mA. This value directly impacts regulation accuracy: lower impedance yields smaller output voltage variation under changing load current, making it critical for stable reference applications such as feedback networks in switching regulators.
Can BZX84C24 RFG be used in automotive applications?
The BZX84C24 RFG is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it operates from −65 °C to +150 °C, it lacks the stress testing and lot traceability required for automotive use. For automotive designs, consider alternatives like Nexperia's BZX84-C24,115, which carries full AEC-Q200 certification and identical electrical specs.
What is the maximum power dissipation and how does it derate with temperature?
BZX84C24 RFG has a maximum power dissipation of 300 mW at TA = 25 °C, derating linearly above that ambient temperature at 0.72 mW/°C (based on RθJA = 417 °C/W). At 85 °C ambient, usable power drops to approximately 172 mW - a key constraint for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
