Diodes are electronic components that allow electricity to pass in only one direction. Zener diodes are special types of diodes that allow current to flow in either direction, but with a cutoff voltage. Beyond the cutoff voltage, current will flow in the reverse direction as well. Zener diodes are incredibly important components in electronic devices. Zener diodes are called single-level diodes because the voltage breakdown point does not change significantly with the current applied. BZX79C24 is a single level Zener diode that can be used in a variety of applications.

Features of BZX79C24

• Maximum operating temperature of 175°C
• Robust design for high temperature operation
• Low power dissipation of 100mW
• Slight variation of forward voltage with current
• Through-hole packaging

Application field of BZX79C24

Thanks to its robust design and low power dissipation, BZX79C24 can be used in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for applications requiring a temperature range of -55°C to 175°C and power dissipation of up to 100mW. Additionally, its through-hole packaging and slight variation of forward voltage makes it a great choice for circuit designs such as voltage regulators, AC/DC converters, surge protection, and power supply for instrumentation and audio equipment.

Working Principle of BZX79C24

BZX79C24 is a single-level Zener diode that passes current in forward or reverse direction according to its voltage. When the forward voltage is below a certain level (known as the cutoff voltage or Zener voltage) current passes in a forward direction. However, when the forward voltage is beyond the cutoff voltage, current will also pass in the reverse direction and the diode will act as a voltage regulator.

When the diode is connected to a circuit, it regulates the voltage in the circuit by introducing a Zener breakdown. This breakdown depends on the voltage bias and load current of the circuit. Since the forward voltage of BZX79C24 slightly varies with current, the breakdown has a slight variation as well.
