Product details
Overview
PDZ24B-QX 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 current at VR = 19 V, used in automotive power rail clamping and low-power reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ24B-QX datasheet, PDZ24B-QX pinout, PDZ24B-QX application, or PDZ24B-QX equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-compliant designs requiring stable 24 V Zener regulation, low leakage, hard breakdown knee, and surface-mount compatibility on FR4 PCBs with standard reflow footprints.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates as a two-terminal voltage reference with sharp breakdown characteristics, optimized for low-current regulation (IZ = 5 mA typical), where its 23.72 V to 24.78 V working voltage range ensures tight tolerance under automotive ambient conditions up to +150 °C junction temperature.
Its thermal resistance of 130 K/W (junction-to-solder point) and 340 K/W (junction-to-ambient) enables reliable operation at ≤400 mW total power dissipation on standard FR4 PCBs, while the −20.4 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 5 mA supports predictable drift compensation in feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage (VZ) | 23.72 V to 24.78 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V systems |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤120 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at VR = 19 V - guarantees ultra-low standby power loss in always-on circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | −20.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - enables predictable thermal drift modeling in voltage references |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | ≤0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - supports efficient forward-bias use in protection or biasing paths |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Current (IZSM) | 1.3 A at tp = 100 μs - provides transient overvoltage immunity without degradation |
| Package | SOD323 (SC-76) - 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint compatible with high-density automotive PCB layouts |

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 | ±5 % tolerance, 220 Ω rdif, no AEC-Q101 qualification | General-purpose industrial use only; unsuitable for automotive safety-critical rails | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and automotive compliance requirements |
| MMSZ5242B | SOD-123 package (larger footprint), ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω rdif, 100 nA IR | Compatible with legacy board layouts but lacks AEC-Q101 validation and thermal performance | Choose only if SOD-123 footprint is fixed and automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with BZX84-C24 and MMSZ5242B, PDZ24B-QX delivers tighter ±2 % tolerance, lower 120 Ω dynamic impedance, and certified AEC-Q101 reliability-making it the sole option for automotive 24 V rail clamping where long-term stability and transient immunity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous power dissipation for PDZ24B-QX?
PDZ24B-QX has a maximum total power dissipation of 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and standard footprint. Derating is required above 25 °C per the published curve, reaching zero dissipation at approximately 150 °C ambient.
How is polarity identified on the PDZ24B-QX package?
The cathode (K) is marked by a visible bar on the SOD323 package body; Pin 1 (cathode) is located adjacent to this bar, while Pin 2 (anode) is unmarked. This matches the standardized pinning diagram in Nexperia's datasheet Figure 8.
Does PDZ24B-QX support wave soldering?
Yes-Nexperia provides a dedicated wave soldering footprint (Figure 10) with 1.2 mm × 2.75 mm solder lands and defined transport direction. The SOD323 package is qualified for both reflow and wave processes per JEDEC J-STD-020 and J-STD-006 standards.
What is the reverse voltage rating before breakdown begins?
PDZ24B-QX exhibits ≤0.05 μA reverse current at VR = 19 V, meaning significant conduction begins near its specified 23.72 V minimum Zener voltage. Its rated non-repetitive peak reverse voltage is not separately defined-it is governed by the 1.3 A IZSM surge limit at 100 μs pulse width.
