Product details
Overview
BZX79C9V1_T50R from ON Semiconductor is a 9.1 V ±5% Zener diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 500 mW power dissipation at TL ≤ 75°C, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.5 μA maximum leakage at 6 V reverse voltage. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX79C9V1_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, thermal coefficient (+3.8 mV/°C), junction capacitance (70 pF at 0 V), maximum leakage, and DO-35 mechanical compatibility in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BZX79C9V1_T50R operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for stable voltage regulation in low-current (<20 mA) bias conditions. Its 9.1 V nominal breakdown voltage is specified at 5 mA test current, with a positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C - indicating increasing VZ with rising junction temperature.
It exhibits 15 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZ) at IZ = 5 mA, 70 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, and 0.5 μA maximum reverse leakage (IR) at VR = 6 V. The device is rated for operation from –65°C to +200°C and derates linearly at 4.0 mW/°C above 75°C lead temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.5 V min / 9.6 V max at IZ = 5 mA - defines usable regulation window under standard test conditions |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 500 mW @ TL ≤ 75°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling on standard 3/8″ leads |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZ) | 15 Ω max @ IZ = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 μA max @ VR = 6 V - critical for low-power standby circuits where quiescent current must be minimized |
| Temp. Coefficient (TC) | +3.8 mV/°C - quantifies VZ drift per degree rise; enables thermal error budgeting in precision references |
| Junction Capacitance (CJ) | 70 pF @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and AC coupling performance |
| Operating Temp. Range | –65°C to +200°C - supports deployment in automotive under-hood, industrial, and aerospace environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | Same 9.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, DO-41 package (larger than DO-35); 10 Ω ZZ vs. 15 Ω | Higher power (1 W) but requires larger PCB footprint; not suitable for ultra-compact layouts | Select when higher surge power handling is required and board space permits DO-41 |
| MMSZ4687 | SOD-123 surface-mount package; same 9.1 V, ±5%, but only 500 mW derated to 300 mW at 25°C ambient | No axial leads - eliminates manual through-hole insertion; better for automated assembly | Select for reflow-compatible designs where DO-35 hand-soldering is impractical |
Compared with 1N4739A and MMSZ4687, the BZX79C9V1_T50R offers optimal balance of DO-35 mechanical robustness, 500 mW power capability, and tight thermal coefficient for analog reference use - making it preferred for repair, prototyping, and legacy through-hole systems where lead-forming and axial mounting are retained.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range for BZX79C9V1_T50R at 5 mA test current?
The BZX79C9V1_T50R has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 8.5 V minimum to 9.6 V maximum when measured at IZ = 5 mA and TL = 30°C ± 1°C with 3/8″ lead length. This ±5% tolerance is confirmed in the ON Semiconductor datasheet revision 3 (November 2017) and applies strictly to the BZX79C9V1_T50R variant within the BZX79C2V4–BZX79C56 family.
Does BZX79C9V1_T50R have a specified forward voltage?
Yes - the BZX79C9V1_T50R has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.5 V at IF = 100 mA, as stated in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of the official ON Semiconductor datasheet. This parameter is consistent across the entire BZX79C2V4–BZX79C56 series and reflects the diode's silicon PN junction behavior in forward conduction.
What is the junction capacitance of BZX79C9V1_T50R and at what condition is it measured?
The junction capacitance of BZX79C9V1_T50R is 70 pF, measured at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz. This value is explicitly listed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table for the BZX79C9V1 row under the C (pF) column and is critical for high-frequency decoupling and noise filtering applications where parasitic capacitance affects signal integrity.
Can BZX79C9V1_T50R be used in place of 1N4739A without circuit modification?
The BZX79C9V1_T50R shares identical electrical specifications (9.1 V ±5%, 500 mW, 15 Ω ZZ) with 1N4739A but uses a smaller DO-35 package versus DO-41. While electrically compatible, mechanical substitution requires verification of PCB pad spacing and thermal relief - the BZX79C9V1_T50R cannot be considered a drop-in replacement without layout review due to differing package dimensions and lead geometry.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX79C9V1_T50R and at what voltage is it specified?
The maximum reverse leakage current for BZX79C9V1_T50R is 0.5 μA, specified at VR = 6 V and TA = 25°C. This value is documented in the "Electrical Characteristics" table under the IR (μA) column for the BZX79C9V1 row and is essential for low-power design validation where standby current must remain below 1 μA.
