Product details
Overview
BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2 from Nexperia is a 9.1 V, 250 mW silicon planar Zener diode in SOT-23 package with ±5% tolerance, 10 Ω dynamic impedance, and 5 µA maximum leakage current at 7.3 V, used for voltage regulation and reference in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2 datasheet, BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2 pinout, BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2 application, or BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy, power dissipation limit, dynamic impedance, temperature coefficient, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility in space-constrained PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across its terminals under varying load and supply conditions. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V at test current of 5 mA, with a temperature coefficient of +6.5 mV/K ensuring predictable drift over industrial temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C).
The device uses planar epitaxial process for tight parameter control and high reliability. Its 250 mW power rating and low leakage current (<5 µA at 7.3 V) support precision biasing and reference functions in battery-powered and signal-conditioning applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V ±5% at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage with bounded error margin |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 250 mW - limits continuous thermal stress in SOT-23 package without heatsink |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness against load current variation |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 7.3 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby reference circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +6.5 mV/K - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius rise above 25 °C |
| Package | SOT-23 - surface-mount, 3-pin footprint compatible with automated assembly and compact layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package with cathode-marked lead identification; standardized 3-terminal configuration for Zener operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal / reverse-biased reference return | Connected to circuit ground or lower potential node in shunt regulator topology |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Provides stable 9.1 V reference when reverse-biased above breakdown threshold |
| No Connect (Pin 3) | Internal die attachment pad - not electrically connected | Thermal relief pad only; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or short |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables direct use in 9 V rail monitoring without external trimming |
| Low 10 Ω dynamic impedance | Maintains <100 mV output deviation across 1–10 mA load current swing |
| Industrial temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C) | Supports operation in automotive engine control and industrial sensor modules |
| SOT-23 footprint compatibility | Allows drop-in replacement with other BZX84 series Zeners without layout change |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5240BS-7-F | 9.1 V ±5%, 350 mW, 15 Ω ZZT, SOT-23 | Higher power rating allows greater current margin but larger thermal footprint | Prefer when >250 mW dissipation or >10 mA test current required |
| BZX84-C9V1,115 | Identical 9.1 V ±5%, 250 mW, SOT-23, but different reel packaging and traceability | No functional difference; differs only in logistics coding and RoHS compliance marking | Select for legacy BOM continuity where Nexperia's "115" suffix is specified |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2, MMBZ5240BS-7-F offers higher power headroom at cost of slightly degraded regulation stiffness, while BZX84-C9V1,115 provides identical electrical performance with alternate logistics coding for procurement alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current before breakdown for BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2?
The device exhibits ≤5 µA reverse leakage at 7.3 V, well below its 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage. Breakdown begins gradually near 8.6 V and reaches full regulation at 9.1 V ±5% with 5 mA test current. Operation below 8.6 V remains in non-conductive region with negligible current flow.
Can BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2 be used in series for higher voltage reference?
Yes - two units in series yield ~18.2 V reference with doubled dynamic impedance (~20 Ω) and cumulative tolerance (±7.1%). However, mismatched temperature coefficients may increase drift; dedicated higher-voltage Zeners or bandgap references are preferred for critical applications.
Is the SOT-23 pinout compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment?
Yes - it conforms to JEDEC MO-215 standard for SOT-23 packages, with 0.95 mm pitch, 1.3 mm body width, and defined anode/cathode orientation. All major placement machines recognize this footprint using standard vision fiducials and vacuum nozzle profiles.
Does BZX84-C9V1/DG/B3:2 meet AEC-Q200 requirements for automotive use?
No - this variant is qualified to general industrial standards (JEDEC JESD22), not AEC-Q200. For automotive applications, Nexperia offers the AEC-Q200-qualified BZX84-A9V1 variant with extended qualification testing and PPAP documentation support.
