Product details
Overview
PDZ24B-QF from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed for precision voltage regulation at 24 V nominal working voltage with ±2 % tolerance, 120 Ω max differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, and 0.05 μA max reverse leakage at VR = 19 V - used in automotive power rail clamping and low-power reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ24B-QF datasheet, PDZ24B-QF pinout, PDZ24B-QF application, or PDZ24B-QF equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring stable 24 V Zener regulation, low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 130 K/W), and hard breakdown knee performance in space-constrained SMD layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with cathode-anode polarity, optimized for reverse-bias regulation at IZ = 5 mA. Its 23.72 V to 24.78 V working voltage range (VZ) and temperature coefficient of +20.4 mV/K ensure predictable drift behavior across −65 °C to +150 °C junction temperatures.
It delivers 400 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB with standard footprint, supported by low dynamic impedance and <1.3 A non-repetitive peak reverse current capability. The SOD323 package enables high-density placement while maintaining thermal performance via solder-point conduction path.
Key Specifications

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 VZ, but ±5 % tolerance and higher rdif (≤200 Ω); SOT-23 package | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; suitable only for commercial-grade consumer products | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and tighter regulation needs |
| MMSZ5242B | 24 V nominal VZ, ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω rdif, 500 mW Ptot; SOD-123 package | Higher power rating but larger footprint and no automotive qualification | Prefer where higher surge energy absorption is required and board space permits larger package |
Compared with BZX84-C24 and MMSZ5242B, PDZ24B-QF provides superior voltage accuracy (±2 % vs. ±5 %), lower dynamic impedance, and guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification - making it the only choice for safety-critical 24 V automotive regulation where long-term parametric stability and stress-test validation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which PDZ24B-QF guarantees ≤0.05 μA leakage?
PDZ24B-QF guarantees ≤0.05 μA reverse leakage current at VR = 19 V, as specified in Table 8 of the datasheet. This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and defines the upper limit of safe reverse bias before significant leakage begins - critical for low-power battery-backed circuits.
Can PDZ24B-QF be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes must not be paralleled due to mismatched VZ tolerances (±2 %) and thermal runaway risk. Each PDZ24B-QF is rated for 400 mW on FR4 PCB; higher power requires a single higher-rated device or active regulation, not parallel connection.
Does the SOD323 package support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the SOD323 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D. Figure 9 specifies the recommended solder land pattern (0.6 mm × 0.5 mm pads, 0.95 mm pitch), and thermal profile must respect peak temperature ≤260 °C for ≤30 seconds to avoid package damage.
How does the +20.4 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation in a −40 °C to +125 °C environment?
With +20.4 mV/K, VZ increases by ~3.3 V across 165 K temperature span - from ~23.5 V at −40 °C to ~26.8 V at +125 °C. System design must accommodate this full drift range in overvoltage protection margins and reference accuracy budgets.
