Product details
Overview
BZX84C24W-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 24 V, 200 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT-323 package, with nominal zener voltage 24 V (min 22.8 V, max 25.6 V at IZT = 5 mA), zener impedance 70 Ω at 5 mA, and reverse current ≤0.1 µA at 16.8 V, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C24W-7 datasheet, BZX84C24W-7 pinout, BZX84C24W-7 application, or BZX84C24W-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±4.2%), thermal resistance (625 K/W), RoHS-compliant lead-free plating, ultra-small SOT-323 footprint, and temperature coefficient (+18.4 to +22.0 mV/°C).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations and supply fluctuations. It delivers regulated output with 5 mA test current, exhibits low dynamic impedance (70 Ω), and supports operation from −65 °C to +125 °C ambient.
The device uses planar die construction and green molding compound compliant with UL 94V-0. Its thermal performance assumes mounting on FR4 PCB with recommended pad layout; power derating begins above 25 °C at 1.6 mW/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V nominal, 22.8–25.6 V range at 5 mA - defines regulation setpoint with ±4.2% tolerance |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at 25 °C - limits continuous steady-state power handling on standard FR4 layout |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω at 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness under small-signal load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at 16.8 V - ensures minimal leakage below knee voltage in standby bias networks |
| Temp Coefficient (αVZ) | +18.4 to +22.0 mV/°C - quantifies positive drift of VZ with rising junction temperature |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 K/W - sets junction-to-ambient rise per watt; requires thermal-aware PCB layout |
| Package | SOT-323 - 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.9 mm footprint ideal for space-constrained consumer and portable designs |
Pinout & Package
SOT-323 package with three terminals: anode (pin 1), cathode (pin 2), and no internal connection (pin 3). Cathode marked by band; polarity confirmed per top-view schematic in DS30066 Rev. 15-2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5242BS-7-F | 24 V nominal, 350 mW PD, SOT-323, 100 Ω ZZT at 10 mA | Higher power rating but looser VZ tolerance (±5%) and higher ZZT | Preferred when higher surge energy absorption is required and tighter regulation is secondary |
| BZX84-C24LT1G | 24 V nominal, 300 mW PD, SOT-23, 70 Ω ZZT at 5 mA, −65 to +150 °C TJ | Larger SOT-23 package, wider temperature range, same VZ spec | Chosen when board layout allows larger footprint and extended high-temp operation is needed |
Compared with MMBZ5242BS-7-F and BZX84-C24LT1G, BZX84C24W-7 offers best-in-class VZ tolerance (±4.2%) and lowest ZZT in SOT-323, making it optimal for precision low-power regulation where space and accuracy are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C24W-7?
The nominal zener voltage is 24 V with a guaranteed range of 22.8 V to 25.6 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown occurs sharply within this band; operation below 22.8 V yields negligible reverse current (<0.1 µA at 16.8 V), confirming effective non-conduction until reaching the specified knee.
Can BZX84C24W-7 be used in place of a 24 V Zener in an existing SOT-23 design?
No - BZX84C24W-7 uses SOT-323, which has different pad dimensions and terminal spacing than SOT-23. Direct substitution requires PCB layout revision. The SOT-323 footprint is smaller (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm vs. 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm) and pin 3 is NC, unlike SOT-23's three functional pins.
Does BZX84C24W-7 require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes - power dissipation must be linearly derated above 25 °C at 1.6 mW/°C, per the 625 K/W thermal resistance. At 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 104 mW. Derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS30066 Rev. 15-2.
Is the temperature coefficient of BZX84C24W-7 positive or negative, and how does it affect circuit stability?
The temperature coefficient is positive (+18.4 to +22.0 mV/°C), meaning VZ increases with junction temperature. In precision references, this drift must be compensated via resistor ratio selection or system-level calibration - especially critical in wide-temperature-range industrial deployments.
