Product details
Overview
DDZX24C-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount precision Zener diode in SOT23 package, rated for 24 V nominal zener voltage (23.12–24.31 V), 5 mA test current, 35 Ω maximum zener impedance at 1 kHz, and 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB. It delivers tight voltage tolerance and low leakage (<0.05 µA at 19 V) for voltage reference and regulation in automotive-compliant power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DDZX24C-13 datasheet, DDZX24C-13 pinout, DDZX24C-13 application, or DDZX24C-13 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOT23 terminal mapping, AEC-Q101 qualification status, and direct alternatives with documented voltage/impedance/leakage trade-offs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across varying load currents via controlled reverse breakdown. Its sharp knee characteristics and low dynamic impedance (35 Ω @ 5 mA) enable high-accuracy feedback in LDOs and switching converter references.
Designed for automated SMT assembly, it features matte tin-annealed terminals compliant with MIL-STD-202, moisture sensitivity level 1, and UL 94V-0 molded plastic case. Thermal resistance is 417 °C/W junction-to-ambient on standard FR-4 layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 23.12–24.31 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation band for 24 V rail monitoring |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 35 Ω max @ 1 kHz - ensures minimal output voltage shift under dynamic load transients |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 300 mW on FR-4 PCB - sets maximum continuous power handling without heatsinking |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.05 µA @ VR = 19 V - guarantees negligible error current in high-impedance reference paths |
| Operating Temp Range | −65 to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 417 °C/W - determines temperature rise per watt dissipated on standard layout |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 package: 3-pin surface-mount plastic case, 0.008 g weight, UL 94V-0 flammability rating, polarity indicated by cathode band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal; voltage sensing node | Connected to regulated rail or feedback divider; carries full zener current |
| No Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attach pad - electrically isolated | Thermally conductive but not bonded to active circuitry; may be left floating or tied to ground for thermal relief |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24LT1G | VZ = 22.8–25.2 V (±5%), ZZT = 80 Ω max @ 5 mA, PD = 300 mW | Wider voltage tolerance and higher impedance reduce accuracy in precision feedback loops | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation tightness; verify loop stability with higher ZZ |
| MMSZ4686T1G | VZ = 23.0–25.0 V (±5%), ZZT = 100 Ω max @ 5 mA, PD = 500 mW | Higher power rating allows greater surge handling but larger impedance degrades AC regulation | Prefer for transient-heavy environments where short-duration overloads exceed 300 mW limits |
Compared with DDZX24C-13, BZX84-C24LT1G offers lower unit cost but sacrifices 2.5× higher zener impedance and looser voltage tolerance, while MMSZ4686T1G trades regulation precision for 67% higher steady-state power capacity - making DDZX24C-13 optimal for accuracy-critical 24 V reference designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current DDZX24C-13 can handle without degradation?
DDZX24C-13 is rated for 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 PCB at 25 °C ambient. At its nominal 24 V zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of 12.5 mA (300 mW ÷ 24 V). Derating applies above 25 °C per the published curve - at 100 °C ambient, max current drops to ~7.2 mA.
Does DDZX24C-13 have a specified temperature coefficient for its zener voltage?
Yes - Figure 18 in the datasheet shows typical temperature coefficient (TC) of VZ for DDZX20C–DDZX30D devices. For DDZX24C, TC is approximately +0.07 %/°C near 25 °C, meaning VZ increases by ~17 mV per 10 °C rise. This positive TC is consistent across the 20–30 V range and enables predictable drift compensation in multi-Zener networks.
Can DDZX24C-13 be used in place of a 24 V Zener diode with different SOT23 pinout?
DDZX24C-13 follows standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = NC (die attach). It is mechanically and electrically compatible with other SOT23 Zeners using this configuration - such as BZX84-C24LT1G and MMSZ4686T1G - provided the cathode marking aligns and PCB footprint matches the 2.4 mm × 1.3 mm land pattern.
Is DDZX24C-13 suitable for use in life support equipment?
No - Diodes Incorporated explicitly prohibits use of DDZX24C-13 in life support devices or systems without express written approval from their CEO. The device is not certified to ISO 13485 or IEC 62304, and its AEC-Q101 qualification does not extend to safety-critical medical applications requiring redundant fault coverage or ASIL-D compliance.
