Product details
Overview
BZX55C9V1_T26A from Fairchild Semiconductor is a 9.1 V ±5% tolerance Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at 75°C with 10 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.1 μA maximum reverse leakage at 7 V. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power reference and protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX55C9V1_T26A datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal derating behavior, cathode identification via color band, and compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts requiring stable 9.1 V clamping.
Technical Context
The BZX55C9V1_T26A operates as a two-terminal voltage reference device, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain a stable 9.1 V across its terminals when biased above its knee voltage. Its 5% tolerance and 10 Ω dynamic impedance ensure predictable regulation under varying load and temperature conditions.
Designed for operation within -65°C to +200°C junction and storage temperature range, it supports reliable performance in industrial and automotive environments where thermal cycling and long-term stability are critical. The DO-35 glass package enables hermetic sealing and consistent thermal resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V nominal, min 8.5 V / max 9.6 V - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection and reference generation |
| Tolerance | ±5% - ensures voltage accuracy without post-manufacture trimming in cost-sensitive designs |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 10 Ω @ IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage variation under changing load current |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.1 μA @ VR = 7 V - confirms minimal standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Max Zener Current (IZM) | 43 mA - derived from PD/VZ, limits safe peak conduction during transient suppression |
| Operating Temp Range | -65°C to +200°C - supports deployment in extreme ambient conditions without parameter drift |

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX55C9V1_T26A?
The BZX55C9V1_T26A has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.5 V and 9.6 V at 25°C and 5 mA test current. This tolerance is specified per the Fairchild BZX55C2V4–BZX55C56 datasheet Rev. D1 and applies directly to the BZX55C9V1_T26A variant.
Does BZX55C9V1_T26A have a cathode marking?
Yes, the BZX55C9V1_T26A uses a DO-35 glass package with a single color band indicating the cathode terminal. This marking follows JEDEC standards and matches the polarity convention used across the full BZX55C series. The anode is the unmarked lead, and correct orientation is essential for proper reverse-bias operation of the BZX55C9V1_T26A.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BZX55C9V1_T26A?
The BZX55C9V1_T26A is rated for 500 mW power dissipation at a lead temperature of 75°C. Above this temperature, it must be derated linearly at 4.0 mW/°C. This limit reflects thermal constraints of the DO-35 glass package and ensures reliable long-term operation of the BZX55C9V1_T26A in real-world PCB environments.
Can BZX55C9V1_T26A be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the BZX55C9V1_T26A supports operation from -65°C to +200°C, meeting extended temperature requirements common in under-hood automotive modules. Its DO-35 glass construction provides hermetic sealing against humidity and contaminants, making the BZX55C9V1_T26A suitable for engine control units, body electronics, and powertrain subsystems where reliability under thermal stress is critical.
What is the dynamic impedance of BZX55C9V1_T26A at its test current?
The BZX55C9V1_T26A exhibits a dynamic impedance (ZZ) of 10 Ω when measured at its specified test current of 5 mA. This value quantifies how tightly the device regulates voltage under small-signal AC variations and is confirmed in the Fairchild BZX55C2V4–BZX55C56 datasheet table for the BZX55C9V1 entry - a key parameter for evaluating the BZX55C9V1_T26A's suitability in precision reference circuits.
