Product details
Overview
BZX84C24W-7-F 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 overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C24W-7-F datasheet, BZX84C24W-7-F pinout, BZX84C24W-7-F application, or BZX84C24W-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±4.2%), thermal resistance (625 K/W), low leakage (<0.1 µA), ultra-small SOT-323 footprint, and RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable reference voltage under varying load and temperature conditions. It features planar die construction for consistent breakdown characteristics and low dynamic impedance (70 Ω at 5 mA) enabling effective regulation in feedback loops and voltage clamping networks.
Designed for ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +125 °C, it exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +18.4 mV/°C to +22.0 mV/°C at 5 mA, supporting predictable drift compensation in temperature-sensitive references. Its 200 mW power rating is derated linearly above 25 °C per the published curve.
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 TA = 25 °C - limits continuous clamping energy in compact PCB layouts |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under small-signal load variation |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.1 µA at VR = 16.8 V - ensures minimal quiescent leakage in battery-powered references |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 K/W on FR4 board - dictates junction temperature rise under full power in standard layout |
| Temp. Coefficient (αVZ) | +18.4 to +22.0 mV/°C at 5 mA - enables predictable drift modeling in wide-temperature designs |
| Package | SOT-323 - 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm footprint for high-density mixed-signal PCBs |
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 | Zener voltage 24 V (22.8–25.2 V), PD = 200 mW, ZZT = 70 Ω, SOT-323, but uses different marking (KQ) and slightly tighter VZ max | Identical thermal and electrical envelope; validated in same reference designs by Diodes Inc. | Select when cross-referencing legacy Diodes design files using MMBZ prefix |
| BZX84-C24LT1G | Zener voltage 24 V (22.8–25.6 V), PD = 225 mW, ZZT = 70 Ω, SOT-23 - larger footprint, higher power, same electrical spec | Requires PCB pad redesign; preferred where marginally higher dissipation or legacy SOT-23 tooling exists | Choose only if SOT-23 assembly infrastructure is already deployed and 25 mW extra headroom is needed |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C24W-7-F?
The rated zener voltage is 24 V nominal, with guaranteed breakdown occurring between 22.8 V and 25.6 V at test current IZT = 5 mA. Below 22.8 V, reverse current remains ≤0.1 µA; operation below this threshold avoids significant conduction and maintains low leakage.
Can BZX84C24W-7-F be used in place of a 22 V or 27 V Zener diode?
No - BZX84C24W-7-F is specified only for 24 V regulation. Substituting with 22 V or 27 V variants alters reference accuracy by >8%, risking ADC miscalibration or undervoltage detection failure. Use BZX84C22W or BZX84C27W only if circuit tolerances explicitly accommodate their respective VZ ranges.
Is the SOT-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - the device meets J-STD-020D Level 1 moisture sensitivity and is qualified for Pb-free reflow per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature up to 260 °C is supported; recommended soak time and ramp rates align with industry-standard Class 3 profiles for FR4 boards.
Does BZX84C24W-7-F have a specified capacitance value for high-frequency decoupling?
No - total capacitance is not characterized in the datasheet. Typical values for 24 V Zeners in SOT-323 are ~15 pF at 1 V reverse bias (per Fig. 4 trend), but this is not a guaranteed parameter. For RF or high-speed signal clamping, consult Diodes' application note AP02001 for layout-dependent measurements.
