Product details
Overview
PD3Z284C24-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 24 V, 0.5 W surface-mount Zener diode in PowerDI323 (Type B) package, rated for 5 mA test current with 22.8–25.6 V zener voltage range, 30 Ω max zener impedance at 5 mA, and -3.5 to +22.0 mV/°C temperature coefficient. It delivers precision voltage regulation in compact automotive and industrial power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the PD3Z284C24-7 datasheet, PD3Z284C24-7 pinout, PD3Z284C24-7 application, or PD3Z284C24-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 0.005 g ultra-lightweight construction, 250 °C/W thermal resistance, and 16.8 V minimum zener voltage at 1 mA reverse current - critical for low-power biasing and overvoltage clamping in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low leakage, operating across -65 to +150 °C with 0.1 µA maximum reverse current at 16.8 V. Its PowerDI323 (Type B) package enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining 500 mW power dissipation under defined thermal conditions.
The device exhibits a negative-to-positive temperature coefficient transition near 5–6 V; at 24 V, it shows +18.4 to +22.0 mV/°C drift, making it suitable for temperature-compensated reference circuits when paired with complementary devices. Zener impedance remains ≤30 Ω up to 5 mA, ensuring tight regulation under dynamic load transients.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-C24,115 | Same 24 V nominal, but 300 mW rating and SOD323 package; 40 Ω Zzt vs. 30 Ω | Limited to lower-power biasing due to reduced dissipation; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MMSZ5249B-TP | 24 V nominal, 500 mW, SOD-123 package; 35 Ω Zzt, wider 22.8–25.6 V tolerance | Higher thermal resistance (350 °C/W) limits use in high-ambient environments | Select when existing SOD-123 footprint compatibility is required and thermal margin exceeds 25 °C |
Compared with BZX384-C24,115 and MMSZ5249B-TP, PD3Z284C24-7 offers superior thermal performance (250 vs. ≥350 °C/W), AEC-Q101 compliance for automotive deployment, and tighter zener impedance - making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally demanding shunt regulation tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener diode can withstand before breakdown?
The PD3Z284C24-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 24 V with a guaranteed range of 22.8–25.6 V at 5 mA test current. Its absolute maximum non-destructive reverse voltage is not specified separately; operation beyond 25.6 V risks exceeding power dissipation limits unless current is strictly limited to prevent thermal runaway.
Is this device suitable for use in automotive applications?
Yes - PD3Z284C24-7 is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards, including stress tests for temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias, and humidity testing. Its -65 to +150 °C operating range and green RoHS-compliant construction meet automotive electronics requirements.
How does the PowerDI323 (Type B) package compare to standard SOD-323 in thermal performance?
PowerDI323 (Type B) provides 250 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance versus ~350 °C/W for SOD-323, due to its larger copper leadframe and optimized pad layout. This allows 500 mW dissipation at lower junction temperatures, improving long-term reliability in enclosed enclosures.
Can this Zener diode be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variations in breakdown voltage that cause current imbalance when paralleled. Even small mismatches (e.g., ±0.2 V) result in one device conducting most of the current, risking thermal failure. Use a single higher-power device or active regulation instead.
