Product details
Overview
RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 from Renesas Electronics is a silicon planar Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation in low-power analog and reference circuits, featuring a nominal Zener voltage of 2.4 V ±5%, 700 mW power dissipation, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and packaged in the SRP-F flat-lead surface-mount package. It serves as a stable voltage reference in sensor biasing, ADC/DAC reference supplies, and overvoltage protection clamping.
For engineers reviewing the RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 datasheet, RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 pinout, RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 application, or RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), dynamic resistance (≤130 Ω at IZ = 10 mA), ESD capability (≥30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2), thermal derating behavior, and compatibility with high-density SMT assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using avalanche and Zener breakdown mechanisms optimized for 2.4 V regulation. Its low-voltage Zener characteristic exhibits a negative temperature coefficient near –0.08 %/°C, requiring careful thermal design in ambient temperatures above 70 °C.
The SRP-F package enables compact placement with 0.6 mm lead width and 1.6 mm body height, supporting reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Electrical performance is specified at Ta = 25 °C with pulse testing (Pw = 40 ms) to minimize self-heating during measurement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 2.4 V ±5% at IZ = 10 mA - defines stable regulation point for low-voltage references |
| Power Dissipation (Pd) | 700 mW at Ta = 25 °C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard 50×50 mm PCB |
| Dynamic Resistance (rd) | ≤130 Ω at IZ = 10 mA - determines output impedance and load regulation sensitivity |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤10 µA at VR = 1 V - ensures minimal leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| ESD Capability | ≥30 kV (HBM, C = 150 pF, R = 330 Ω) - provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | –55 °C to +150 °C - supports operation in industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SRP-F (Small Resin Package Flat lead type), JEITA code LP, Renesas code PWSF0002ZB-A - 2-pin surface-mount package with 0.6 mm lead width, 1.6 mm body height, and 2.5 mm × 1.5 mm footprint optimized for automated placement and reflow.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C2V4 (Nexperia) | Same 2.4 V nominal VZ, but ±6% tolerance and 350 mW Pd; SOT-23 package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance) | Limited to lower-power, space-constrained designs where 700 mW derating margin is not required | Select when board area is critical and thermal load remains below 250 mW at peak ambient temperature |
| MMSZ4676 (ON Semiconductor) | 2.4 V VZ with ±5% tolerance, 500 mW Pd, and 100 Ω rd; SOD-123 package with 1.3 mm height | Suitable for moderate-power references but lacks RKZ2.4BKJ#R1's 30 kV ESD rating and SRP-F thermal performance | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where ESD immunity beyond 8 kV is not mandated |
Compared with BZX84-C2V4 and MMSZ4676, RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 delivers superior thermal derating (700 mW vs. ≤500 mW), industry-leading 30 kV HBM ESD robustness, and tighter process control for stable low-voltage reference use in industrial and medical-grade designs.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance for RKZ2.4BKJ#R1?
The RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZ = 10 mA, meaning its regulated voltage falls between 2.28 V and 2.52 V under standard test conditions. This tight tolerance supports accurate biasing in precision analog circuits and ensures predictable clamping behavior in protection applications. The RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 achieves this via Renesas' silicon planar process with post-trim characterization.
Does RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 support reflow soldering?
Yes, RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, compatible with standard Pb-free profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature. Its SRP-F package uses matte tin-plated leads and thermally robust epoxy molding compound, enabling reliable interconnect formation without delamination or parametric shift. The RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 must be stored per MSL Level 1 requirements prior to assembly.
How does the temperature coefficient affect RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 performance?
RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of approximately –0.08 %/°C near 2.4 V, causing its Zener voltage to decrease by ~1.9 mV/°C over the operating range. This behavior must be accounted for in wide-temperature applications; pairing with positively drifting components (e.g., certain op-amps) can yield net zero-drift reference designs. The RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 datasheet provides γZ vs. VZ curves for precise compensation modeling.
What is the maximum reverse current specification for RKZ2.4BKJ#R1?
The maximum reverse current (IR) for RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 is 10 µA at VR = 1 V, measured at Ta = 25 °C. This low leakage ensures minimal error contribution in high-impedance reference dividers and preserves battery life in always-on IoT nodes. The RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 maintains this spec across its full storage temperature range (–55 to +150 °C), verified per JEDEC JESD22-A114.
Is RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 suitable for ESD protection in USB interfaces?
RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 provides 30 kV HBM ESD capability, exceeding IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 kV contact / 15 kV air) requirements, making it suitable for secondary-level ESD clamping on low-voltage data lines such as USB 2.0 D+/D– rails. However, it is not rated as a primary ESD suppressor; for full compliance, pair RKZ2.4BKJ#R1 with a dedicated TVS array upstream. The RKZ2.4BKJ#R1's fast turn-on and low clamping voltage enhance system-level robustness.
