Product details
Overview
RD24JS-T1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a 24 V, 400 mW silicon planar zener diode in DO-34 glass package with DHD (Double Heatsink Diode) construction, ±5% zener voltage tolerance at IZ = 5 mA, 19 Ω dynamic impedance, and 0.2 µA reverse leakage at 18.2 V, used for precision voltage regulation and surge suppression in power supply feedback loops and I/O protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD24JS-T1-AZ datasheet, RD24JS-T1-AZ pinout, RD24JS-T1-AZ application, or RD24JS-T1-AZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, JEDEC DO-34 mechanical dimensions, and direct alternative part comparisons for stable voltage reference design and board-level ESD resilience.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche breakdown in a planar-diffused junction. Its DHD construction enables dual heat-sinking paths through both leads, improving thermal resistance to 375°C/W (junction-to-ambient, on 7 mm² PCB), supporting reliable operation up to 175°C junction temperature.
The RD24JS-T1-AZ exhibits a positive zener voltage temperature coefficient of +0.055 %/°C (≈13.2 mV/°C) per Fig. 9, with knee impedance (ZZK) ≤ 0.5 Ω at IZK = 1 mA and surge reverse power rating of 100 W for 10 µs pulses (Fig. 10), confirming suitability for transient overvoltage clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24.26 V to 24.81 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines stable regulation point under nominal bias |
| Power Dissipation (P) | 400 mW at TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard PCB |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 19 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.2 µA max at VR = 18.2 V - ensures minimal standby current in high-impedance reference nodes |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –65°C to +175°C - supports operation in industrial ambient environments without derating below 125°C |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 100 W for t = 10 µs - enables single-pulse transient suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 |
| Package | DO-34 (JEDEC) - 2.4 mm max body length, 5 mm lead pitch, glass-sealed, axial-leaded for wave soldering |
Pinout & Package
RD24JS-T1-AZ is a two-terminal axial device in DO-34 glass package. Cathode is marked by black band on body; anode is unmarked end. Leads are tinned copper-clad steel, compatible with standard PCB insertion and wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Cathode | Current exit terminal during forward bias; regulated output node in reverse-biased operation | Connected to feedback node (e.g., optocoupler input or error amplifier in SMPS) to maintain precise VOUT |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4749A | 24 V nominal, ±5%, 1 W rating, DO-41 package (4.5 mm body), ZZ = 20 Ω @ 5.2 mA | Higher power but larger footprint; requires PCB layout change due to longer body and wider pitch | Select when >400 mW continuous dissipation is needed; verify thermal relief pad compatibility |
| BZX55-C24 | 24 V nominal, ±5%, 500 mW rating, DO-35 package (1.5 mm body), ZZ = 30 Ω @ 5 mA | Smaller size but higher ZZ and lower surge rating (40 W); not DHD-constructed | Prefer for space-constrained designs where 19 Ω ZZ and 100 W surge margin are noncritical |
Compared with RD24JS-T1-AZ, the 1N4749A offers higher power but demands PCB rework, while the BZX55-C24 saves board area at the cost of regulation precision and transient robustness-making RD24JS-T1-AZ optimal for industrial 24 V systems requiring stable reference and rugged clamping in DO-34 form factor.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD24JS-T1-AZ at 5 mA test current?
The RD24JS-T1-AZ has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 24.26 V to 24.81 V when measured at IZ = 5 mA and TA = 25°C, per the "AB2" suffix row in the Electrical Characteristics table of Renesas datasheet D13935EJ7V0DS. This 550 mV span reflects ±5% tolerance around the nominal 24 V rating, confirmed by production testing and E24 standard alignment.
Does RD24JS-T1-AZ support surge suppression per IEC 61000-4-5?
Yes, RD24JS-T1-AZ supports basic surge suppression per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3: its specified surge reverse power rating is 100 W for 10 µs pulse width (Fig. 10), corresponding to a peak clamping voltage of ≤24.81 V under transient conditions. For full compliance, it must be used with appropriate series impedance (e.g., 2 Ω resistor) to limit let-through energy into downstream circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance (RthJA) of RD24JS-T1-AZ on a standard PCB?
The RD24JS-T1-AZ exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 375°C/W when mounted on a 7 mm² copper area (t = 0.035 mm), as shown in Fig. 7 of the datasheet. This value assumes DO-34 mounting with both leads soldered and no additional thermal vias; adding 2× thermal vias per lead reduces RthJA to ~280°C/W in typical layouts.
Is RD24JS-T1-AZ RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, RD24JS-T1-AZ is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Renesas confirms environmental compliance per EU RoHS Directive in its product documentation and public declarations; the DO-34 glass package contains no lead-based solder or plating, and all materials meet Annex II substance restrictions as verified by material declarations and third-party testing reports.
Can RD24JS-T1-AZ replace TL431 in shunt regulator circuits?
RD24JS-T1-AZ can serve as a passive voltage reference in simple shunt regulators but cannot replace TL431 directly: the TL431 is an active 2.5 V adjustable shunt regulator with built-in error amplifier and reference, whereas RD24JS-T1-AZ is a fixed 24 V two-terminal zener. It is suitable for TL431 *output* clamping or as primary reference in non-adjustable 24 V feedback paths where gain and bandwidth requirements are low.
