Product details
Overview
BZX84C9V1 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a surface-mount Zener diode engineered for precision voltage regulation and reference applications, with a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V (min 8.5 V, max 9.6 V), 300 mW power dissipation, 15 Ω typical Zener impedance at 5 mA test current, and operating junction temperature range of –65 °C to +150 °C. It serves as a stable voltage clamp in low-power DC/DC converters and LED lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C9V1 datasheet, BZX84C9V1 pinout, BZX84C9V1 application, or BZX84C9V1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23 package compatibility, ±5% voltage tolerance at 9.1 V, 0.5 µA maximum leakage at 6.0 V, and thermal resistance of 417 °C/W - critical for compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BZX84C9V1 operates as a single-die, silicon planar Zener diode optimized for reverse-biased breakdown regulation. Its electrical behavior is defined by a 5 mA test current (IZT), 15 Ω dynamic impedance (ZZT), and a positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C - indicating voltage increases with rising junction temperature.
It complies with J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1 and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, supporting lead-free reflow assembly. The device exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 10 mA and maintains stable regulation across –65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5240BS-7-F | 9.1 V nominal, 225 mW PD, 30 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 package | Lower power rating and higher impedance reduce regulation stability under dynamic loads | Prefer BZX84C9V1 where >300 mW surge handling or <20 Ω ZZT is required |
| 1SMA5920BT3G | 9.1 V nominal, 1.5 W PD, 7 Ω ZZT, SMA package (larger footprint) | Higher power and lower impedance suit high-current clamping but require PCB area increase | Select BZX84C9V1 for space-constrained SOT-23 designs needing 300 mW balance |
Compared with MMBZ5240BS-7-F and 1SMA5920BT3G, the BZX84C9V1 delivers optimal trade-off between SOT-23 board area, 300 mW continuous dissipation, and 15 Ω regulation impedance - making it ideal for compact, thermally managed voltage reference nodes in consumer and industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX84C9V1 at 25°C?
The BZX84C9V1 has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a guaranteed range of 8.5 V to 9.6 V at 5 mA test current and 25°C ambient. This ±5.5% tolerance reflects the device's specification under standard test conditions and is confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table of the official datasheet.
Does BZX84C9V1 support lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, the BZX84C9V1 supports lead-free reflow soldering. Its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002 solderability standards, and its moisture sensitivity level is rated Level 1 per J-STD-020 - meaning no baking is required prior to assembly.
What is the maximum leakage current for BZX84C9V1, and at what voltage is it specified?
The BZX84C9V1 has a maximum leakage current of 0.5 µA, specified at a reverse voltage of 6.0 V (IZ = 0.5 µA @ VR = 6.0 V). This value is critical for low-power monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 1 µA.
Can BZX84C9V1 be used in place of BZX84C8V2 or BZX84C10 in existing designs?
Substitution of BZX84C9V1 for BZX84C8V2 or BZX84C10 requires circuit validation due to differences in nominal Zener voltage (9.1 V vs. 8.2 V or 10 V), temperature coefficient (+3.8 mV/°C vs. +3.2 mV/°C or +4.5 mV/°C), and leakage characteristics. The BZX84C9V1 is not a drop-in replacement without recalculating feedback network values.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of BZX84C9V1, and how does it affect power derating?
The BZX84C9V1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 417 °C/W. At ambient temperatures above 25°C, its usable power dissipation must be linearly derated - for example, to ~225 mW at 80°C ambient - to maintain junction temperature ≤150°C, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
