BZX84C24S-7-F

Overview

The BZX84C24S-7-F is a dual Zener diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT-363 surface-mount package. It features two independent Zener diodes with a nominal voltage of 24 V and a tolerance range of 22.8 V to 25.6 V at a test current of 5 mA. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 200 mW and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum Zener impedance of 70 Ω at IZT and 250 Ω at IZK, with a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.1 µA at VR = 16.8 V.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration providing two isolated Zener channels within a single ultra-small surface mount package.
• Planar die construction designed for high reliability and consistent performance across operating temperatures.
• RoHS compliant manufacturing process utilizing lead-free plating and green molding compounds.

Applications

• Voltage reference circuits requiring dual independent potential levels.
• Transient voltage suppression in compact electronic assemblies.
• Clamping applications for signal lines in consumer electronics.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging format before procurement. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards if restricted substances are prohibited in the final assembly. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation for the date code marking to verify manufacturing origin and batch consistency.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints necessitate a dual-diode solution in an SOT-363 footprint. Evaluate the thermal resistance of 625 °C/W to ensure adequate heat dissipation on the FR4 PCB layout. Consider the voltage temperature coefficient range of 18.4 mV/°C to 22.0 mV/°C for precision requirements in varying thermal environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BZX84C series of dual surface mount Zener diodes produced by Diodes Incorporated. The series covers nominal voltages from 2.4 V to 39 V, all sharing the same SOT-363 mechanical outline. The 'S' designation indicates the dual-channel configuration, distinguishing it from single-channel variants in the broader product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the SOT-363 package dimensions and electrical parameters. Verify compatibility with other manufacturers offering equivalent dual Zener arrays in the same footprint. Ensure the substitute part maintains the same thermal resistance and voltage tolerance specifications.
