Product details
Overview
PDZ2.4B-QZ from Nexperia is a single silicon Zener diode designed for low-power voltage regulation in automotive and industrial circuits, with a nominal Zener voltage of 2.43 V to 2.63 V at IZ = 5 mA, ±2 % tolerance, 400 mW total power dissipation, and qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ2.4B-QZ datasheet, PDZ2.4B-QZ pinout, PDZ2.4B-QZ application, or PDZ2.4B-QZ equivalent, this device serves as a precision shunt regulator in bias networks, reference supplies, and overvoltage protection where compact SOD323 packaging, low leakage (<50 µA at VR = 1.0 V), and hard breakdown knee are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations, with differential resistance as low as 1000 Ω at IZ = 0.5 mA and 100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA. Its temperature coefficient is −1.6 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in reference designs.
The device features a hard breakdown knee and low leakage current (≤50 µA at VR = 1.0 V), supporting reliable clamping in low-current sensing and feedback paths. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 130 K/W, allowing operation up to +150 °C junction temperature on standard FR4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.43 V to 2.63 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for low-voltage reference rails |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - ensures tight voltage matching without post-production trimming |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 400 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in space-constrained SMD layouts |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤50 µA at VR = 1.0 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered monitoring circuits |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - delivers low impedance regulation for stable output under dynamic load |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA - enables use as polarity-sensitive clamp or ESD protection element |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 130 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling in automotive modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B2V4 | Same 2.4 V nominal Zener, but ±5 % tolerance and 300 mW Ptot; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for commercial-grade consumer electronics only; not rated for automotive thermal cycling | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and tighter tolerance requirements |
| MMSZ4678 | 2.4 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, 500 mW Ptot, SOD-123 package (larger footprint) | Higher power handling but incompatible SOD-123 land pattern; unsuitable for high-density automotive PCBs | Choose only if board layout permits larger package and higher surge current (IZSM = 12 A) is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current (IZSM) rating for PDZ2.4B-QZ?
PDZ2.4B-QZ has a non-repetitive peak reverse current rating of 8.0 A at tp = 100 µs and Tamb = 25 °C, verified per IEC 60134 limiting values. This enables robust transient suppression in automotive power domains without derating for short-duration surges.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over automotive temperature range?
With a typical temperature coefficient of −1.6 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA, PDZ2.4B-QZ exhibits predictable negative drift: from −40 °C to +125 °C, total VZ shift is approximately −263 mV, which is factored into system-level calibration for closed-loop reference designs.
Is PDZ2.4B-QZ compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes-PDZ2.4B-QZ is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C. Its SOD323 footprint matches IPC-7351B standard land patterns (0.6 mm pad width, 1.15 mm center-to-center spacing), ensuring compatibility with automated assembly lines.
Can PDZ2.4B-QZ be used in forward-bias applications?
Yes-its forward voltage is specified at 0.9 V (IF = 10 mA) and 1.1 V (IF = 100 mA), making it suitable for polarity detection, LED driver biasing, or low-drop rectification where low VF and small footprint are advantageous.
