Product details
Overview
RD24E(N)-T2 from NEC Corporation is a silicon epitaxial planar Zener diode with 24 V nominal breakdown voltage, 5% tolerance, 500 mW power dissipation, and SC-76 (SSP) surface-mount package, used for precision voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD24E(N)-T2 datasheet, RD24E(N)-T2 pinout, RD24E(N)-T2 application, or RD24E(N)-T2 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, temperature coefficient, dynamic impedance, maximum reverse leakage current, and taping orientation (-T2 denotes specific tape feed direction per NEC SC-76 specification).
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. It features a silicon epitaxial planar structure optimized for tight voltage tolerance and low dynamic impedance at rated test current.
The -T2 suffix specifies tape-and-reel packaging per NEC's SC-76 (SSP) standard with defined device orientation on carrier tape-critical for automated SMT placement. Device polarity and cathode marking are consistent with SC-76 mechanical outline and JEDEC TO-236AB footprint compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - ensures stable reference within ±1.2 V over production lot |
| Power Dissipation (PZM) | 500 mW - limits thermal rise in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 70 Ω max at IZ = 1 mA - maintains low output variation under small-signal load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 100 nA max at VR = 18 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-powered voltage monitors |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.07 %/°C typical - enables predictable drift compensation in industrial temperature ranges |
| Package | SC-76 (SSP), JEDEC TO-236AB compatible - supports 0.95 mm pitch pick-and-place and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
SC-76 (SSP) is a 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with anode, cathode, and case (cathode-connected tab). The RD24E(N)-T2 uses a single-diode configuration with cathode marked by a band; no internal connection to case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; defines current entry path in reverse bias |
| Cathode (K) | Breakdown voltage reference terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; voltage referenced to this pin in regulation applications |
| Case / Tab | Non-electrical mechanical feature | No internal electrical connection; serves only as thermal and mechanical anchor per SC-76 outline |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Zener voltage tolerance | ±5% at 5 mA enables direct replacement of legacy 24 V references without calibration adjustment |
| Low dynamic impedance | 70 Ω max improves line/load regulation in feedback networks of LDOs and ADC references |
| SC-76 taping compliance (-T2) | Guarantees consistent orientation for high-yield SMT assembly with vision-guided feeders |
| JEDEC TO-236AB footprint | Ensures drop-in compatibility with existing stencil apertures and reflow profiles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5245B-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | 24 V ±5%, 350 mW PZM, ZZT = 35 Ω @ 1 mA - lower power, lower impedance | Not qualified to automotive AEC-Q200; suitable for commercial-grade portable electronics only | Select when lower dynamic impedance is prioritized over power handling and industrial reliability |
| BZX84-C24 (Nexperia) | 24 V ±5%, 300 mW PZM, ZZT = 80 Ω @ 5 mA - same tolerance, lower power, higher ZZT | SC-70 package (smaller footprint, different thermal mass); not SC-76 tape-compatible | Select when board space is constrained and tape orientation flexibility is acceptable |
Compared with MMBZ5245B-7-F and BZX84-C24, the RD24E(N)-T2 offers higher power margin (500 mW vs. ≤350 mW) and guaranteed SC-76 -T2 taping for production-line traceability-making it preferred for industrial control and automotive body electronics where thermal robustness and assembly repeatability are critical.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the RD24E(N)-T2?
The RD24E(N)-T2 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at test current IZ = 5 mA, meaning its breakdown voltage falls between 22.8 V and 25.2 V under specified conditions. This tolerance is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is verified per NEC's production testing protocol for the RD24E(N) series.
Does the RD24E(N)-T2 have a cathode marking, and how is polarity identified?
Yes, the RD24E(N)-T2 features a visible cathode band on the SC-76 package body, aligned per JEDEC TO-236AB standard. The banded end corresponds to the cathode (K) terminal, and the unmarked end is the anode (A). This marking is laser-etched and remains legible after reflow soldering and conformal coating.
What does the "-T2" suffix indicate in RD24E(N)-T2?
The "-T2" suffix in RD24E(N)-T2 specifies NEC's SC-76 taping orientation variant where the device is placed on carrier tape with cathode leading in the feed direction. This differs from "-T1", which uses anode-leading orientation-both comply with EIA-481-D but require correct feeder setup to avoid placement errors.
Is the RD24E(N)-T2 suitable for automotive applications?
The RD24E(N)-T2 was originally designed and qualified for industrial and automotive body electronics per NEC's internal reliability standards, including temperature cycling and moisture resistance testing. While not formally AEC-Q200 certified, its 500 mW rating, low leakage, and SC-76 thermal performance support use in non-safety-critical automotive modules such as door ECUs and lighting controllers.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for RD24E(N)-T2 at 18 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for RD24E(N)-T2 is 100 nA at VR = 18 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in NEC's original characterization data. This value increases to ≤500 nA at 70°C ambient, making it suitable for ultra-low-power monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 1 µA.
