Product details
Overview
PZU24B1A,115 from Nexperia is a ±2 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 24 V nominal working voltage, 320 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, and 19 A non-repetitive peak reverse current. It delivers low dynamic impedance (120 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA), tight temperature coefficient (±1.3 mV/K), and reverse leakage ≤30 nA at 0.5 mA, serving as a precision reference in low-power voltage regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PZU24B1A,115 datasheet, PZU24B1A,115 pinout, PZU24B1A,115 application, or PZU24B1A,115 equivalent, this device is selected for stable 24 V reference generation in space-constrained DC-DC feedback paths, sensor biasing networks, and overvoltage clamp stages where ±2 % initial accuracy and thermal stability under 150 °C junction temperature are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a hard knee characteristic optimized for low-noise, fast-switching applications per AN90031. Its differential resistance of ≤120 Ω at 5 mA ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it exhibits Rth(j-a) = 390 K/W in free air and Rth(j-sp) = 55 K/W to solder point, enabling reliable thermal management in compact consumer and industrial power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Zener Voltage | 24 V - precise regulation point for 24 V supply monitoring and clamping |
| Tolerance | ±2 % - B1 series grade enables tighter feedback loop accuracy than ±5 % variants |
| Total Power Dissipation | 320 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum continuous DC power handling on standard FR4 |
| Differential Resistance | ≤120 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures <120 mV output shift per 1 mA current change in regulation zone |
| Reverse Current | ≤30 nA at IZ = 0.5 mA - ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on sensing nodes |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current | 19 A at tp = 100 μs - supports transient surge suppression without degradation |
| Junction Temperature | 150 °C max - allows operation in high-temperature industrial enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C24,115 | ±5 % tolerance, 400 mW Ptot, higher rdif (≤200 Ω), no B1-grade option | Acceptable where calibration is performed post-assembly or where thermal margin exceeds 320 mW | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs initial accuracy requirements and board layout allows larger thermal pad |
| MMSZ5242B-TP | ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.6 mm), 500 mW Ptot, 100 nA IR at 0.5 mA | Preferred for higher-power derating needs but sacrifices PCB area efficiency and low-leakage advantage | Choose when legacy SOD-123 footprint compatibility is mandatory and leakage >30 nA is acceptable |
Compared with BZX84-C24,115 and MMSZ5242B-TP, PZU24B1A,115 offers superior initial accuracy and lower leakage in the smallest footprint-critical for miniaturized industrial sensors and dense power modules where calibration headroom and standby current are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current for PZU24B1A,115 at 25 °C ambient?
The device is rated for 320 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB. At 24 V Zener voltage, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 13.3 mA (320 mW ÷ 24 V). Exceeding this value risks thermal runaway unless board-level heatsinking is enhanced.
Does PZU24B1A,115 meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No. The PZU24B1A,115 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Nexperia explicitly states in its legal disclaimers that non-automotive qualified products like this Zener diode are unsuitable for automotive safety-critical or life-support applications. Automotive designs require verified AEC-Q200 parts such as the PZU24B2A variant with extended qualification testing.
How does the B1 tolerance series differ electrically from the B series in the PZUxBA family?
The B1 series guarantees ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance versus ±5 % for the B series, achieved through tighter binning during production. This results in reduced initial error in feedback loops and fewer calibration steps. No other parameters-such as dynamic impedance, leakage, or thermal resistance-are altered between B and B1 grades for the same nominal voltage.
Can PZU24B1A,115 be used in place of a 24 V TVS diode for surge protection?
No. While it handles 19 A non-repetitive surges, the PZU24B1A,115 is not designed for repetitive transient suppression. Its 320 mW steady-state power rating and lack of clamping voltage specification make it unsuitable as a primary TVS. Use dedicated TVS diodes like PESD5V0S1BA for ESD and ISO 10605 compliance; reserve PZU24B1A,115 for precision regulation only.
