Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B24-QF from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode with 24 V nominal breakdown voltage, 250 Ω differential resistance at 5 mA, and 20.4 mV/K temperature coefficient, housed in SOT323 (SC-70) package for precision voltage reference in automotive power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B24-QF datasheet, BZX84W-B24-QF pinout, BZX84W-B24-QF application, or BZX84W-B24-QF equivalent, this device supports stable 24 V regulation under transient load conditions, meets AEC-Q101 qualification, and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable 24 V reference across its cathode-anode terminals, with low dynamic impedance (250 Ω at IZ = 5 mA) ensuring minimal output voltage deviation under varying current loads.
Its temperature coefficient of +20.4 mV/K indicates positive drift with junction temperature rise, requiring thermal compensation in high-precision analog circuits; it is rated for 275 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with single-sided copper.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 24 V nominal (±2 % tolerance), defines precise regulation point for 24 V rail stabilization |
| Differential Resistance rdif | 250 Ω at IZ = 5 mA, limits output voltage variation to ~1.25 V per 5 mA current change |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +20.4 mV/K, causes ~500 mV shift over 25 °C to 125 °C junction range |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 275 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB, sets max continuous Zener current to ~11.5 mA |
| Reverse Current IR | 50 nA at VR = 16.8 V (0.7 × VZnom), ensures low leakage in standby mode |
| Junction Temperature Tj | 150 °C maximum, enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Package | SOT323 (SC-70), 3-terminal leadless surface-mount package with 1.3 mm × 1.8 mm footprint |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package with 1.3 mm × 1.8 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, and tin-plated terminations compatible with reflow and wave soldering per IPC-7095.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward-bias terminal; connects to lower-potential node in regulation circuit |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Reverse-bias terminal; connects to regulated output node and current-limiting resistor |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C24-Q | ±5 % tolerance (22.8–25.6 V range) vs. ±2 % (23.5–24.5 V); identical package and thermal specs | Acceptable where 24 V regulation tolerance > ±2 % is permitted, e.g., non-critical biasing | Select for cost-sensitive designs where tighter voltage control is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5245B-TP | 24 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, higher 350 Ω rdif at 20 mA | Higher power handling but larger footprint and looser regulation; suited for general-purpose PCB space | Choose when board area allows SOD-123 and 500 mW dissipation is required |
Compared with BZX84W-C24-Q, the BZX84W-B24-QF offers tighter voltage control critical for precision references; versus MMSZ5245B-TP, it delivers superior thermal density and smaller footprint for space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous Zener current for BZX84W-B24-QF at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, derated power dissipation is 185 mW (based on 455 K/W thermal resistance and 150 °C max Tj). With VZ = 24 V, maximum continuous Zener current is 7.7 mA - sufficient for reference biasing but not high-current shunt regulation.
Can BZX84W-B24-QF replace BZX84W-B24-Q in existing designs?
Yes - BZX84W-B24-QF is a direct replacement for BZX84W-B24-Q, sharing identical electrical specifications, SOT323 package dimensions, pinout, and AEC-Q101 qualification; the "QF" suffix denotes enhanced traceability and packaging per Nexperia's latest manufacturing release.
How does the 2-pin configuration (Pin 2 n.c.) affect PCB layout?
Pin 2 is internally unconnected and must remain unstubbed on the PCB; routing traces or placing solder mask openings over it introduces parasitic capacitance and risk of contamination-induced leakage, degrading reverse-bias stability and long-term reliability.
Is BZX84W-B24-QF suitable for use in CAN FD physical layer biasing?
Yes - its 1.25 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 24 V Zener voltage make it appropriate for biasing common-mode chokes in 24 V CAN FD transceivers; combined with 40 W surge capability, it withstands ISO 11898-2 transient requirements when paired with appropriate series impedance.
