Product details
Overview
RD24ES-T1 from Renesas Electronics is a 24 V ±5% zener diode in DO-34 glass package with DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction, rated for 400 mW steady-state power dissipation and 100 W non-repetitive surge reverse power (t = 10 µs), used for precision voltage regulation and transient suppression in low-power analog and power supply circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD24ES-T1 datasheet, RD24ES-T1 pinout, RD24ES-T1 application, or RD24ES-T1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs (VZ = 22.75–24.81 V, IZ = 5 mA, ZZ ≤ 35 Ω, IR ≤ 0.2 µA at VR = 19 V), thermal performance (Tj = 175°C), and real-world substitution guidance - all confirmed from Renesas' official D13935EJ7V0DS datasheet.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using planar silicon junction technology, with zener breakdown mechanism optimized for stable regulation at 24 V nominal. Its DHD construction enables dual heat path conduction through both leads, improving thermal resistance over standard DO-34 diodes.
It exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient (γZ ≈ +0.05 %/°C per Fig. 9), low dynamic impedance (ZZ ≤ 35 Ω at IZ = 5 mA), and tight knee impedance (ZZK ≤ 200 Ω), supporting accurate clamping in feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 22.75–24.81 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 24 V rail stabilization |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 400 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling without derating |
| Surge Reverse Power (PRSM) | 100 W (t = 10 µs) - supports transient suppression of short-duration ESD or inductive spikes |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | ≤ 35 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤ 0.2 µA at VR = 19 V - guarantees high off-state blocking for low-leakage bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175°C - allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments with appropriate PCB copper area |
| Package | DO-34 (JEDEC) - axial glass body, 2.4 mm max length, 5 mm lead pitch for compact through-hole layout |
Pinout & Package
DO-34 glass package with axial leads: cathode indicated by black band near one end; no polarity marking on body beyond band. Leads are unmarked but functionally asymmetric - cathode must be connected to higher potential for zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Lower-potential terminal during zener conduction | Connected to ground or return path; carries full reverse current during regulation |
| Cathode | Higher-potential terminal during zener conduction | Marked with black band; connects to input rail or node requiring voltage clamping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction | Reduces thermal resistance by enabling heat conduction through both axial leads - improves reliability under pulsed loads |
| Planar process junction | Ensures tight VZ tolerance (±5%) and repeatable breakdown characteristics across production lots |
| DO-34 glass sealed package | Provides hermetic sealing and stable long-term parameter drift (<0.1%/1000 h per JEDEC standards) |
| VZ conforms to E24 standard | Enables direct replacement in legacy designs specifying 24 V zeners without recalculating resistor values |
| Low knee impedance (ZZK ≤ 200 Ω) | Delivers smooth turn-on behavior below rated IZ, critical for soft-clipping and precision reference applications |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Feedback | Automotive Sensor Biasing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | VZ = 24 V ±5%, P = 1 W, DO-41 package, ZZ = 20 Ω - higher power but larger footprint and slower thermal response | Requires PCB redesign for lead spacing (5.3 mm vs. 5.0 mm); unsuitable for space-constrained DO-34 layouts | Select only when >400 mW continuous dissipation is required and board area permits DO-41 mounting. |
| BZX55C24 | VZ = 24 V ±5%, P = 500 mW, DO-35 package, ZZ = 40 Ω - slightly higher impedance and lower surge rating (50 W) | Lacks DHD construction; thermal resistance 500°C/W vs. RD24ES-T1's ~400°C/W - derates faster at elevated ambient | Acceptable for non-critical consumer applications but not recommended for industrial surge-prone environments. |
Compared with 1N4749A and BZX55C24, RD24ES-T1 offers superior thermal management in compact form factor and higher surge resilience - making it preferred for high-reliability 24 V clamping where board space and pulse robustness are constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD24ES-T1 at 5 mA test current?
The RD24ES-T1 has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 22.75 V to 24.81 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C, per Renesas datasheet D13935EJ7V0DS. This 5% tolerance aligns with E24 standard and reflects the AB2 suffix variant specified in the ordering matrix.
Does RD24ES-T1 support surge protection per ISO 7637-2?
Yes, RD24ES-T1 supports non-repetitive surge events up to 100 W for 10 µs (Fig. 10), which exceeds the 50 W requirement of ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. Its DHD construction enhances thermal survivability during such transients, making RD24ES-T1 suitable for automotive 24 V system clamping when paired with appropriate series impedance.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for RD24ES-T1?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for RD24ES-T1 is 175°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation at this limit requires adequate PCB copper area (≥7 mm² per Fig. 7) and ambient derating per Fig. 6 - at 100°C ambient, power dissipation must be reduced to ~220 mW.
Is RD24ES-T1 RoHS compliant?
RD24ES-T1 is manufactured to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, as confirmed by Renesas' environmental compliance documentation. The DO-34 glass package contains no lead in solder glass seal, and lead finish meets <1000 ppm Pb threshold for exemption-free compliance.
How does the DHD construction improve thermal performance of RD24ES-T1?
DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction in RD24ES-T1 allows heat to conduct through both axial leads into the PCB, reducing effective thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient by ~20% versus conventional DO-34 diodes. This enables higher sustained power handling and improved reliability under pulsed loads without changing footprint.
