Product details
Overview
NZX24X,133 from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in a hermetically sealed SOD27 (SC-40) glass package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications at 24 V nominal Zener voltage (VZ = 22.9–24.0 V at IZ = 2 mA), with 70 Ω typical differential resistance, ≤0.05 µA reverse leakage at 16.8 V, and 500 mW total power dissipation.
For engineers reviewing the NZX24X,133 datasheet, NZX24X,133 pinout, NZX24X,133 application, or NZX24X,133 equivalent, this component serves as a stable, low-leakage, axial-leaded voltage reference in analog power supply feedback loops, overvoltage clamping circuits, and industrial sensor biasing where thermal stability and long-term reliability under ambient temperatures up to +175 °C are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a specified working voltage tolerance of ±5% (22.9–24.0 V at IZ = 2 mA) and exhibits a temperature coefficient of approximately −2.5 mV/K near 24 V, enabling predictable drift compensation in regulated supplies. Its low differential resistance (70 Ω typ.) ensures minimal output impedance variation across operating current.
The device uses a glass-encapsulated axial lead construction (SOD27/SC-40), rated for junction temperatures up to 175 °C and ambient storage from −65 °C to +175 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 380 K/W in free air on FR4 PCB - critical for derating calculations in compact, convection-cooled designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (Zener Voltage) | 22.9–24.0 V at IZ = 2 mA - defines precise clamping/reference point in feedback or protection circuits |
| rdif (Diff. Resistance) | 70 Ω typical - ensures stable regulation under varying load currents without significant voltage shift |
| IR (Reverse Leakage) | ≤0.05 µA at VR = 16.8 V - enables ultra-low standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Ptot (Total Power) | 500 mW max at Ttp ≤ 25 °C - sets maximum continuous dissipation before thermal derating applies |
| Tj (Junction Temp) | −65 to +175 °C - supports operation in harsh environments including industrial motor controls and automotive under-hood modules |
| Rth(j-a) | 380 K/W in free air - determines required board layout and airflow for safe thermal management |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | ≤1.5 V at IF = 200 mA - allows use as forward-biased clamp or polarity indicator in dual-role circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX55-C24 | Plastic DO-35 package; 5% tolerance; 100 Ω rdif; 100 mW Ptot | Limited to +150 °C Tj; higher leakage (≤5 µA); unsuitable for high-temp industrial use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal/reliability requirements |
| 1N4749A | DO-41 plastic package; 5% tolerance; 20 Ω rdif; 1 W Ptot | Higher power but larger footprint; no hermetic seal; higher leakage (≤5 µA at 18.2 V) | Select only if >500 mW dissipation is needed and board space permits larger package |
Compared with BZX55-C24 and 1N4749A, NZX24X,133 delivers superior thermal endurance (+175 °C), hermetic reliability, and ultra-low leakage - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical industrial references where long-term stability and environmental resilience are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) that NZX24X,133 can withstand before breakdown?
The NZX24X,133 has a nominal Zener voltage of 22.9–24.0 V at IZ = 2 mA, and its guaranteed breakdown begins within this range. It is not rated for sustained reverse voltage above VZ; operation above 24.0 V will cause conduction. The maximum non-breakdown reverse voltage is not specified - the device is intended for controlled Zener operation, not blocking.
Can NZX24X,133 be used in surface-mount designs?
No - NZX24X,133 uses an axial-leaded SOD27 (SC-40) glass package designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. It lacks solder pads or terminations compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes. For SMT equivalents, consider Nexperia's BZX384-B24 or PZM24NB4, which offer similar VZ in SOT23/SOT323 packages.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C?
At 24 V, NZX24X,133 has a typical temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/K. Over a 125 °C span, this yields ~313 mV total drift - approximately ±1.3% of 24 V. For high-accuracy systems, this must be compensated via circuit design or paired with temperature-sensing feedback; the diode itself provides stable relative behavior, not absolute precision.
Is NZX24X,133 automotive-qualified?
No - per Nexperia's legal disclaimers, NZX24X,133 is explicitly labeled as a non-automotive qualified product. It is neither AEC-Q200 tested nor rated for automotive-grade reliability, ESD, or lifetime requirements. Use in automotive applications is at the customer's sole risk and requires full validation against vehicle-level specifications.
