Product details
Overview
PDZ24B-QZ 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 = 19.0 V - used in automotive power rail clamping and low-power reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ24B-QZ datasheet, PDZ24B-QZ pinout, PDZ24B-QZ application, or PDZ24B-QZ 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 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 temperature.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-sp) = 130 K/W (junction-to-solder point) and Rth(j-a) = 340 K/W (junction-to-ambient), enabling reliable 400 mW total power dissipation on standard FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper and tin plating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VZ (nominal) | 24 V - precise regulation target at IZ = 5 mA, supporting 24 V rail stabilization |
| VZ range | 23.72 V to 24.78 V - ±2 % tolerance ensures tight voltage control for reference applications |
| rdif (max) | 120 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - low dynamic impedance maintains regulation accuracy under load variation |
| IR (max) | 0.05 μA at VR = 19.0 V - ultra-low leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance bias networks |
| Ptot | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - sufficient headroom for transient suppression in automotive ECUs |
| Tj max | +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood environments per AEC-Q101 qualification |
| Package | SOD323 (SC-76) - 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint ideal for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (marked side) | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; reverse-bias anode-to-cathode voltage establishes VZ |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes Zener conduction path during regulation |
Key Features

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 200 Ω rdif; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Limited to non-automotive industrial use; higher regulation error under varying load | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and precision requirements |
| MMSZ5242B | 24 V VZ, ±5 % tolerance, 150 Ω rdif, SOD-123 package (larger footprint) | Requires 30 % more PCB area; suitable for legacy designs with existing SOD-123 land patterns | Choose for backward compatibility where SOD323 rework is impractical |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current for PDZ24B-QZ at 19.0 V?
The maximum reverse current (IR) is 0.05 μA at VR = 19.0 V and Tj = 25 °C, measured per datasheet Table 8. This ultra-low leakage ensures minimal power loss in high-impedance reference networks and extends battery life in always-on automotive subsystems.
Is PDZ24B-QZ suitable for reflow soldering?
Yes - PDZ24B-QZ is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. The recommended footprint uses 0.6 mm wide × 1.5 mm long solder pads with 0.95 mm center-to-center spacing, matching the SOD323 outline in Figure 9 of the datasheet.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy?
PDZ24B-QZ has a temperature coefficient (SZ) of +20.4 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA. This means VZ increases by ~20.4 mV per °C rise in junction temperature, enabling predictable compensation in temperature-sensitive analog circuits like sensor biasing networks.
Can PDZ24B-QZ replace PDZ24B without modification?
Yes - PDZ24B-QZ is the AEC-Q101-qualified version of PDZ24B, sharing identical electrical characteristics, SOD323 package, pinout, and marking (ZQ). The "-QZ" suffix denotes automotive qualification; no layout or schematic changes are required for drop-in replacement in new designs.
