Product details
Overview
SZMM5Z24VT5GF from Nexperia is a 24 V ±2 % Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 300 mW total power dissipation and 40 W non-repetitive peak reverse power, with 16.8 Ω typical differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SZMM5Z24VT5GF datasheet, SZMM5Z24VT5GF pinout, SZMM5Z24VT5GF application, or SZMM5Z24VT5GF equivalent, this device serves as a precision shunt reference in low-power voltage regulation, overvoltage protection, and biasing circuits where ultra-small footprint, thermal stability, and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 24 V reference across its terminals under controlled current conditions (IZ = 5 mA). Its temperature coefficient of +18.4 to +22.0 mV/K ensures predictable drift behavior over −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
The device exhibits low junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance (65 K/W), enabling effective heat transfer in space-constrained PCB layouts. Its 55 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias supports stable performance in moderate-frequency regulation and filtering applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 23.52 V to 24.48 V at IZ = 5 mA - tight ±2 % tolerance enables accurate voltage clamping without calibration. |
| Differential Resistance (rdiff) | ≤16.8 Ω at IZ = 5 mA - low impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under load changes. |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 PCB with 35 mm² copper - defines maximum continuous DC power handling in standard layout. |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 µs square wave - supports transient surge suppression in ESD or load-dump events. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤70 µA at VR = 20 V - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance bias networks. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −55 °C to +150 °C - wide operating range meets under-hood automotive and industrial environmental requirements. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 65 K/W - enables reliable thermal coupling to PCB solder point for predictable derating. |
Pinout & Package
The SZMM5Z24VT5GF is housed in an ultra-compact SOD523 (SC-79) surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm × 0.65 mm, with cathode identified by a marking bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; carries reverse current during Zener conduction; marked with bar on package. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; completes reverse-biased path for voltage reference operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control units and body electronics requiring stress-tested discrete semiconductors. |
| ±2 % Zener voltage tolerance | Reduces need for external trimming in precision reference designs, improving BOM simplicity and production yield. |
| Low 55 pF junction capacitance | Minimizes signal distortion and phase shift in feedback paths of LDOs or op-amp references up to ~1 MHz. |
| Ultra-small SOD523 footprint | Enables placement in dense routing areas such as portable electronics, sensor modules, and automotive ECUs with strict board area limits. |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports operation in high-temperature environments like powertrain modules without derating below full rating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584-C24 | Same 24 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD-523 package, but only 200 mW Ptot and no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to commercial-grade consumer or industrial equipment without automotive qualification requirements. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and tighter tolerance is not required. |
| MMSZ5245B | 24 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD-123 package (larger), 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 rating. | Suitable for higher-power regulation but incompatible with ultra-dense layouts due to 2.8 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. | Choose when thermal margin is critical and board space allows larger package; avoid for AEC-Q101–mandated designs. |
Compared with BZX584-C24 and MMSZ5245B, SZMM5Z24VT5GF uniquely combines automotive qualification, ±2 % tolerance, and ultra-miniature SOD523 packaging-making it the only option for space-constrained, safety-critical 24 V reference applications in modern vehicle ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for SZMM5Z24VT5GF?
The device is not rated for continuous forward conduction; its primary function is reverse-bias Zener operation. Forward voltage is specified at 1.1 V max for IF = 100 mA (pulsed, tp ≤ 300 µs), and absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per limiting values table-intended only for brief test or fault conditions, not steady-state use.
Can SZMM5Z24VT5GF be used as a replacement for a 24 V Zener in an existing SOD-123 design?
No-SZMM5Z24VT5GF uses the SOD523 (SC-79) package (1.25 mm × 0.85 mm), which is physically incompatible with SOD-123 footprints (2.8 mm × 1.6 mm). Pad layout, solder stencil, and reflow profile must be redesigned; electrical substitution alone is insufficient without mechanical adaptation.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C?
With a specified temperature coefficient of +18.4 to +22.0 mV/K, the Zener voltage increases by approximately 3.5 V across that 165 K range. At IZ = 5 mA, this yields a worst-case drift of ±2.9 % relative to 24 V-acceptable for non-precision clamping but requires compensation in high-accuracy reference designs.
Is thermal derating required when mounting on a 1 oz copper PCB without thermal vias?
Yes-Rth(j-a) is 350 K/W in free air, meaning power must be reduced significantly above 25 °C ambient. For example, at 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable Ptot drops to ~170 mW to keep Tj ≤ 150 °C. Use of ≥35 mm² copper at the cathode pad (per datasheet condition) is essential to achieve the rated 300 mW.
