Product details
Overview
BZX84C9V1-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 350mW surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 9.1V (±5.5% tolerance), 15Ω dynamic impedance at 5mA test current, and 0.5µA maximum reverse leakage at 6.0V. It operates from −65°C to +150°C and is housed in an SOT23 package. It provides precise voltage regulation in low-power power supply rails and reference circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C9V1-7-F datasheet, BZX84C9V1-7-F pinout, BZX84C9V1-7-F application, or BZX84C9V1-7-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, SOT23 terminal mapping, and AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives for automotive and industrial voltage reference design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its 9.1V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5mA test current (IZT), with temperature coefficient of +3.8mV/°C - indicating positive drift over temperature.
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 357°C/W under free-air conditions with terminals held at ambient, enabling stable regulation up to 350mW dissipation at 25°C. Power derating begins linearly above 25°C per Figure 1.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C9V1-7-F?
The device exhibits sharp reverse breakdown at its nominal zener voltage of 9.1V, with guaranteed operation between 8.5V and 9.6V at 5mA test current. Below 6.0V, reverse leakage remains ≤0.5µA - confirming no significant conduction prior to the specified knee region.
Can BZX84C9V1-7-F be used in place of a 9V battery replacement circuit?
No - it is not a power source but a voltage reference/clamp. While it regulates at ~9.1V, its 350mW power limit restricts sustained current to ~38mA at full regulation. It cannot deliver the 100+ mA typical of 9V alkaline batteries and lacks energy storage capability.
Is the SOT23 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - BZX84C9V1-7-F uses matte tin finish over alloy 42 leadframe, fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), with bromine and chlorine each <900ppm and antimony <1000ppm. It carries the "Green" designation per Diodes Incorporated's specification.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of this diode?
It exhibits a +3.8mV/°C temperature coefficient, meaning VZ increases by approximately 3.8mV per °C rise above 25°C. At +125°C, VZ shifts +380mV - from 9.1V to ~9.48V - a predictable, linear drift used in compensated reference designs.
