Product details
Overview
PDZ24BF from Nexperia is a single silicon Zener diode designed for low-power voltage regulation in space-constrained SMD applications, with a nominal Zener voltage of 24 V (23.72–24.78 V at IZ = 5 mA), ±2 % tolerance, 120 Ω maximum differential resistance at 5 mA, 30 µA max reverse current at 19 V, and 400 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ24BF datasheet, PDZ24BF pinout, PDZ24BF application, or PDZ24BF equivalent, this device is selected for precision clamping, reference biasing, and overvoltage protection in portable power rails, sensor signal conditioning, and low-current analog subsystems where thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W) and compact SOD323 packaging are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under controlled current conditions. Its hard breakdown knee and low leakage (≤30 µA at VR = 19 V) support reliable regulation even at sub-mA bias currents.
Thermal performance is defined for mounting on standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper: junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 340 K/W, and junction-to-solder-point is 130 K/W - enabling predictable derating above 25 °C ambient per Figure 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 23.72–24.78 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail stabilization |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤120 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal voltage shift under load variation |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤30 µA at VR = 19 V - enables low-quiescent-power standby operation |
| Power Dissipation Ptot | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets maximum continuous DC/average power handling |
| Forward Voltage VF | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - supports use as low-drop rectifier or ESD path in forward bias |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +20.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies positive drift rate for thermal compensation design |
| Junction Temperature | −65 to +150 °C - specifies operational and storage limits for industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
PDZ24BF is housed in a SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.8 × 1.35 × 0.95 mm, with cathode identified by a marking bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-biased terminal during Zener operation |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential reference; completes bias path for breakdown conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dynamic impedance | 120 Ω max at 5 mA - improves regulation accuracy under varying load currents |
| Hard breakdown knee | Sharp transition into conduction - reduces ambiguity in turn-on behavior for precision references |
| Small footprint | SOD323 package (1.8 × 1.35 mm) - enables high-density layout in portable and wearable electronics |
| Tight voltage tolerance | ±2 % at IZ = 5 mA - eliminates need for post-assembly trimming in most voltage-reference designs |
| Low leakage current | 30 µA max at 19 V - minimizes parasitic loading in high-impedance bias networks |
Applications
| Portable Power Rail Clamping | Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24 | Same 24 V nominal Zener, but ±5 % tolerance and higher rdif (≤200 Ω); SOT23 package (larger than SOD323) | Less precise regulation; requires larger PCB area | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs size and tolerance requirements |
| MMSZ4686 | 24 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 200 mW Ptot, SOD123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm) | Lower power rating and looser tolerance; unsuitable for high-stability references | Choose only for non-critical clamping where thermal margin is ample |
Compared with BZX84-C24 and MMSZ4686, PDZ24BF offers tighter ±2 % tolerance, lower 120 Ω dynamic impedance, and smallest SOD323 footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, high-accuracy 24 V regulation where board space and regulation fidelity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current for PDZ24BF?
The maximum non-repetitive peak reverse current (IZSM) is 1.3 A, tested at tp = 100 µs, square wave, with ambient temperature at 25 °C prior to surge. This rating supports transient overvoltage suppression without permanent degradation when used within specified thermal limits.
Can PDZ24BF be used in forward bias as a regular diode?
Yes - PDZ24BF exhibits a forward voltage of ≤0.9 V at 10 mA and ≤1.1 V at 100 mA, making it suitable for low-current rectification or ESD protection paths. Its 200 mA continuous forward current rating allows use in basic signal-level switching or polarity protection circuits.
How does thermal derating affect PDZ24BF's power handling above 25 °C?
Per Figure 1, PDZ24BF's power dissipation must be linearly reduced above 25 °C ambient: full 400 mW is allowed up to 25 °C, then decreases to zero at ~150 °C. On standard FR4 PCB, this yields ~2.35 mW/°C derating slope - critical for sustained operation in enclosed enclosures or near heat sources.
Is PDZ24BF automotive-qualified?
No - PDZ24BF is not automotive-qualified. The datasheet explicitly states that unless otherwise indicated, Nexperia products like PDZ24BF are not tested or warranted for automotive use, including AEC-Q101 stress testing or extended temperature operation beyond −65 °C to +150 °C.
