Product details
Overview
SMAZ24-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage of 24.0V (±5% tolerance), 25mA maximum zener test current, 180Ω maximum zener impedance at 15mA, and 0.5µA maximum reverse leakage at 18.2V. It features SMA package, cathode band polarity marking, and is rated for operation from –65°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the SMAZ24-13 datasheet, SMAZ24-13 pinout, SMAZ24-13 application, or SMAZ24-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, power derating above +50°C, thermal resistance (RθJA = 100°C/W), and compliance with RoHS, halogen-free, and antimony-free "Green" requirements.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-bias breakdown mode to provide stable voltage regulation or reference. Its 24.0V nominal zener voltage is specified at IZT = 25mA, with ZZT ≤ 180Ω and ZZK ≤ 150Ω at low-current knee region (IZK = 1.0mA).
Thermal performance is defined for mounting on FR-4 PCB (1" × 0.85", 0.062" thick) per Diodes Inc. pad layout. Power dissipation derates linearly at 10mW/°C above +50°C, supporting reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 24.0V nominal, 22.8–25.2V range at 25mA - defines precise regulation point under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W at TA = +25°C, derates to 0.5W at TA = +100°C - sets maximum continuous power handling on standard PCB |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤180Ω at IZT = 25mA - determines output voltage stability under load variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤0.5µA at VR = 18.2V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby regulation circuits |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 100°C/W - quantifies junction-to-ambient temperature rise per watt, critical for thermal design margin |
| Operating Temperature | –65°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (Surface Mount Axial), molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), cathode indicated by band or notch, weight ≈ 0.064g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference | Connected to lower-potential node in regulation circuit; reverse-biased during normal operation |
| Cathode | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; maintains regulated voltage drop across load when reverse-biased |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.0W power rating | Enables use in medium-power voltage clamp and reference circuits without external heatsinking |
| ±5% VZ tolerance | Supports cost-sensitive designs where tight regulation is balanced against BOM cost |

FAQ
What is the maximum power dissipation of SMAZ24-13 at +75°C ambient?
At +75°C ambient, SMAZ24-13 dissipates 0.75W. Derating begins at +50°C at 10mW/°C, so 25°C of rise above +50°C reduces PD by 250mW from the base 1.0W rating. This value assumes mounting on a standard FR-4 PCB per Diodes Inc. package outline recommendations.
How is polarity identified on the SMAZ24-13 package?
Polarity is marked by a cathode band (visible ink stripe) on the body of the SMA package. The banded end is the cathode; the opposite end is the anode. This matches standard diode marking convention and is verified in Diodes Inc.'s DS18015 mechanical drawings and top-view marking diagram.
Does SMAZ24-13 meet JEDEC moisture sensitivity level requirements?
Yes - SMAZ24-13 is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 per J-STD-020, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow. This enables direct placement in standard SMT lines without dry-pack or floor-life constraints.
Can SMAZ24-13 replace SMAJ24A in surge protection circuits?
No - SMAJ24A is a 400W transient voltage suppressor (TVS) optimized for high-energy ESD and lightning transients, while SMAZ24-13 is a 1.0W Zener diode for steady-state regulation. Their IZM, clamping behavior, and peak pulse ratings differ fundamentally; substitution would compromise surge immunity.
