Product details
Overview
BZX384-C9V1-Q from Nexperia is a ±5 % tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, rated for 9.1 V nominal breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 300 mW total power dissipation, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive voltage reference and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX384-C9V1-Q datasheet, BZX384-C9V1-Q pinout, BZX384-C9V1-Q application, or BZX384-C9V1-Q equivalent, this page delivers verified Zener voltage, differential resistance, temperature coefficient, reverse current limits, and automotive-grade reliability data required for precision biasing, ESD clamping, and supply rail stabilization in harsh-environment designs.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt voltage regulator, maintaining stable output voltage across load variations by conducting reverse current above its specified Zener voltage (9.1 V ±5 % at IZ = 5 mA). Its low 100 Ω typical differential resistance ensures minimal voltage drift under dynamic current changes.
Designed for automotive use, it features AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation of 40 W (100 μs pulse), enabling robust transient suppression in 12 V and 24 V vehicle subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5 % at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise regulation threshold for reference or clamp function |
| Differential Resistance (rdif) | 100 Ω max - limits output voltage variation under ±1 mA load current change |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 0.5 μA max at VR = 7.2 V - ensures low leakage in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (SZ) | +3.8 mV/K to +7.0 mV/K - quantifies positive VZ drift with junction temperature rise |
| Total Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 300 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on FR4 PCB - sets continuous DC power limit for thermal design |
| Non-repetitive Peak Power (PZSM) | 40 W for 100 μs - supports surge immunity in ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a/5a automotive transients |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 °C to +150 °C - enables operation in under-hood and powertrain control units |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package: 2-pin, cathode-marked with bar, 1.35 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.45 mm pitch, 0.25 mm thickness - optimized for high-density automotive PCB layouts and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to regulated output node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct orientation during placement |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; reverse-biased configuration enables Zener conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, body electronics, and ADAS sensors |
| ±5 % Zener tolerance (C-series) | Cost-optimized regulation accuracy suitable for non-critical biasing and clamping functions |
| Low thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 110 K/W) | Enables efficient heat transfer from junction to solder point on standard FR4 PCB |
| Non-repetitive 40 W surge rating | Withstands automotive load-dump and inductive-switching transients without degradation |
| 150 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as power distribution modules |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|

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-Q | ±2 % tolerance (vs. ±5 %), 80 Ω max rdif, higher cost | Better regulation stability for precision analog references | Select when tighter voltage accuracy and lower dynamic impedance are required |
| MMSZ4702T1G | 9.1 V ±5 %, SOD-123 package, 500 mW Ptot, no AEC-Q101 | Larger footprint, higher power, non-automotive qualified | Use only in industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BZX384-B9V1-Q, this part trades regulation accuracy for cost and size; compared with MMSZ4702T1G, it offers automotive qualification and smaller SOD323 footprint but lower power handling - making it optimal for space-constrained, AEC-compliant 12 V subsystems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed Zener voltage range for BZX384-C9V1-Q at 5 mA?
The guaranteed Zener voltage is 8.5 V to 9.6 V at IZ = 5 mA and Tj = 25 °C, reflecting its ±5 % tolerance specification. This range remains valid across the full operating junction temperature span (−65 °C to +150 °C), with temperature coefficient values documented in the datasheet for derating calculations.
Can BZX384-C9V1-Q be used in parallel for higher power dissipation?
No - Zener diodes must not be paralleled due to mismatched breakdown voltages causing current hogging and thermal runaway. For higher power needs, select a single higher-rated device like BZX84-C9V1 or implement active regulation with a transistor-based shunt circuit.
Is the SOD323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOD323 package is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. Recommended peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with preheat ramp rate ≤3 °C/s and cooling rate ≤6 °C/s. The footprint dimensions in Figure 12 of the datasheet ensure reliable joint formation.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation in automotive under-hood applications?
At +3.8 to +7.0 mV/K, VZ increases ~0.5 V over a 100 °C junction rise (e.g., from 25 °C to 125 °C), which must be accounted for in reference-critical circuits. For stable biasing, pair with a complementary NTC thermistor or use in closed-loop feedback where drift is compensated.
