Product details
Overview
BZX84C9V1_D87Z from ON Semiconductor is a 9.1 V ±5% tolerance Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation at 25°C ambient, with 130 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1.0 MHz, designed for voltage regulation and reference applications in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C9V1_D87Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance (±5%), dynamic impedance (8 Ω at 20 mA), leakage current (0.5 µA at 6.0 V), thermal resistance (465 °C/W), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a reverse-biased voltage reference with stable breakdown characteristics across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range. Its 9.1 V nominal zener voltage is specified at test currents of 1.0 mA, 5.0 mA, and 20 mA, with corresponding dynamic impedances of 100 Ω, 15 Ω, and 8 Ω respectively.
The BZX84C9V1_D87Z exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C at 5.0 mA, enabling predictable drift compensation in precision references. It features forward voltage ≤0.9 V at 10 mA and maximum storage temperature of +150°C, supporting reflow-compatible assembly on FR-4 PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.5–9.7 V at IZ = 20 mA; defines regulated output voltage under load |
| Tolerance | ±5%; ensures voltage accuracy within 0.455 V of nominal 9.1 V |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 8 Ω at IZ = 20 mA; determines regulation stiffness against load variation |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 250 mW at TA = 25°C; sets maximum continuous power in free-air conditions |
| Junction-to-Ambient RJA | 465 °C/W; indicates thermal derating slope - power must reduce by ~0.54 mW per °C above 25°C |
| Capacitance (CJ) | 130 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz; impacts high-frequency noise filtering and stability in feedback paths |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.5 µA max at VR = 6.0 V; defines minimum off-state current in bias networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 (TO-236AB), 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with cathode-marked lead. Standard pin assignment: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = Cathode, Pin 3 = Not connected (NC) - verified per ON Semiconductor BZX84C series mechanical drawings.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the nominal zener voltage and tolerance of the BZX84C9V1_D87Z?
The BZX84C9V1_D87Z has a nominal zener voltage of 9.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.5 V and 9.7 V when tested at 20 mA. This specification is confirmed in the ON Semiconductor BZX84C3V3–BZX84C33 datasheet Rev. 1.10, Table on page 2. The BZX84C9V1_D87Z maintains this tolerance across its full operating temperature range of –55°C to +150°C.
What is the maximum power dissipation rating for the BZX84C9V1_D87Z?
The BZX84C9V1_D87Z is rated for 250 mW power dissipation at an ambient temperature of 25°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating is required above 25°C at 0.54 mW/°C based on its 465 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This rating assumes mounting on a standard FR-4 PCB per the datasheet's test condition footnote 3.
Does the BZX84C9V1_D87Z have a defined forward voltage characteristic?
Yes, the BZX84C9V1_D87Z has a maximum forward voltage of 0.9 V at 10 mA forward current, consistent across the entire BZX84 series. This parameter is explicitly stated in the datasheet's "Electrical Characteristics" summary on page 2 and applies to all variants including the BZX84C9V1_D87Z, supporting its use in bidirectional transient suppression or dual-purpose bias networks.
What is the zener impedance of the BZX84C9V1_D87Z at different test currents?
The BZX84C9V1_D87Z exhibits zener impedance of 100 Ω at 1.0 mA, 15 Ω at 5.0 mA, and 8 Ω at 20 mA, as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table. These values reflect the device's dynamic resistance in regulation mode and directly impact voltage stability under varying load conditions - lower impedance at higher currents improves regulation performance in active bias circuits.
Is the BZX84C9V1_D87Z compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the BZX84C9V1_D87Z uses a Pb-free matte tin finish on its SOT-23 terminals and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Its maximum junction temperature rating of +150°C exceeds typical peak reflow temperatures (≤260°C for ≤10 seconds), and the package meets moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 requirements, eliminating bake-out needs prior to assembly.
