Product details
Overview
BZX384-C9V1,115 from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 9.1 V nominal breakdown at 5 mA, with 300 mW total power dissipation and 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It delivers stable reference voltage in low-power analog circuits, power supply feedback loops, and overvoltage protection stages.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-C9V1,115 datasheet, BZX384-C9V1,115 pinout, BZX384-C9V1,115 application, or BZX384-C9V1,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), differential resistance (100 Ω max), reverse current (0.5 μA max at 7 V), thermal resistance (415 K/W), and non-repetitive peak reverse power (40 W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage reference, maintaining regulation by conducting reverse current when applied voltage exceeds its 9.1 V Zener threshold. Its 100 Ω maximum differential resistance ensures predictable dynamic response under varying load conditions.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with single-sided copper, it relies on thermal conduction through the cathode and anode leads to limit junction temperature rise to ≤150 °C at 25 °C ambient, with Rth(j-a) = 415 K/W and Rth(j-sp) = 110 K/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V nominal at IZ = 5 mA; actual range 8.5 V to 9.6 V (±5 % tolerance) |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | ≤100 Ω at IZ = 5 mA; defines small-signal impedance near regulation point |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 7 V; ensures minimal leakage in standby regulation |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB; sets continuous DC power limit |
| Non-repetitive Peak Reverse Power (PZSM) | 40 W for tp = 100 μs square wave; supports transient overvoltage clamping |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C; defines operational and storage thermal envelope |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 0.9 V max at IF = 10 mA; relevant for polarity-check or series-forward applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B9V1,115 | ±2 % tolerance (8.92 V–9.28 V), 60 Ω max rdif, 0.2 μA max IR at 7 V | Narrower voltage spread improves precision in feedback loops but increases cost | Select when tighter regulation stability is required and budget permits higher tolerance grade |
| MMBZ5240BS-7-F | ±5 % tolerance (9.1 V), SOT-323 package, 200 mW Ptot, 120 Ω rdif, 1 μA IR at 7 V | Lower power rating and higher leakage reduce suitability for continuous regulation | Acceptable only for low-duty-cycle clamping where average power remains <200 mW |
Compared with BZX384-C9V1,115, the BZX384-B9V1,115 offers superior voltage accuracy and lower dynamic impedance for critical references, while MMBZ5240BS-7-F trades thermal margin and leakage performance for identical tolerance in a different footprint-making it viable only in space-constrained, low-power clamping roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current this diode can handle?
The BZX384-C9V1,115 does not specify a maximum continuous reverse current; instead, its safe operating area is defined by power dissipation limits. At 25 °C ambient, it sustains ≤33 mA continuous reverse current (9.1 V × 33 mA ≈ 300 mW). Derating is required above 25 °C per the 415 K/W thermal resistance.
Can this Zener diode be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No-parallel connection is not recommended due to mismatched Zener voltages and thermal runaway risk. Even small VZ variations cause current hogging in one device, exceeding its 300 mW limit. For higher power, use a single higher-rated Zener or active regulation.
How does the ±5 % tolerance affect circuit accuracy in a 5 V regulator feedback loop?
In a typical resistive divider feedback network, ±5 % VZ contributes directly to output voltage error. For a 9.1 V Zener setting a 5 V output, the resulting output uncertainty is ±0.28 V (≈±5.6 %), assuming no other error sources-making it suitable for non-critical applications only.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles?
Yes-the SOD323 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Nexperia specifies a maximum peak temperature of 260 °C for 30 seconds, with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s. The recommended footprint matches Figure 12 in the datasheet, using 0.5 mm pad width and 0.6 mm spacing.
