Product details
Overview
BZX84C9V1ET1 from onsemi is a 9.1 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 225 mW power dissipation at 25°C on FR-5 board, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.5 µA max reverse leakage at 7 V. It serves as a precision voltage reference or overvoltage clamp in low-power portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C9V1ET1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal resistance (556 °C/W), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and Pb-free SOT-23 packaging compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage regulator using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (1 mA, 5 mA, and 20 mA), with temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C at 5 mA - indicating positive drift above 6 V. The second terminal (Pin 2) is internally unconnected, confirming true two-terminal functionality.
Thermal derating is linear at 1.8 mW/°C above 25°C on FR-5 board, and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 556 °C/W. Peak pulse power handling reaches 225 W for 8 × 20 µs waveform per Figure 9, enabling transient suppression capability beyond steady-state regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 9.1 V nominal, 8.5–9.6 V range at 5 mA - defines stable regulation point for biasing or reference circuits |
| Power Dissipation | 225 mW at TA = 25°C on FR-5 board - sets maximum continuous DC power before thermal derating begins |
| Zener Impedance | 15 Ω max at IZT = 5 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.5 µA max at VR = 7 V - ensures minimal quiescent current in standby or high-impedance sensing nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient | +3.8 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA - quantifies voltage drift with ambient temperature change |
| Capacitance | 130 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - impacts high-frequency noise filtering and AC signal coupling behavior |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV) per Human Body Model - supports robustness in handheld and exposed interface applications |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 surface-mount plastic package (Case 318, Style 8), void-free thermosetting material, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, cathode indicated by polarity band. Maximum soldering temperature: 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Forward-biased terminal; connects to lower-potential node in Zener operation (reverse bias) |
| 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; no electrical function - must remain floating on PCB |
| 3 | Cathode | Reverse-biased terminal; connects to higher-potential node for Zener conduction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5240BLT1 | 9.1 V nominal, ±5%, but 350 mW rating and 20 Ω ZT at 20 mA; SOT-23 package with same pinout | Higher power handling supports sustained 100 mA clamping; less suitable for ultra-low-leakage biasing | Select when higher pulse energy absorption is required and board layout allows same footprint |
| BZX84-C9V1,115 | 9.1 V nominal, ±5%, 250 mW rating, 15 Ω ZT at 5 mA; SOT-23, but non-AEC-Q101 and no Pb-free guarantee | Lacks automotive qualification and controlled Pb-free finish; acceptable for commercial-grade consumer products | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where AEC-Q101 and RoHS are not mandatory |
Compared with MMBZ5240BLT1, BZX84C9V1ET1 offers tighter thermal resistance control (556 vs. ~400 °C/W) and guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, while BZX84-C9V1,115 trades qualification for marginally higher power rating but lacks traceable Pb-free assurance.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX84C9V1ET1 at 5 mA test current?
The BZX84C9V1ET1 has a Zener voltage tolerance of ±5% at IZT = 5 mA, with a specified range of 8.5 V to 9.6 V. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, and applies directly to the BZX84C9V1ET1 part number under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C). The BZX84C9V1ET1 maintains this specification across its qualified production lots.
Is BZX84C9V1ET1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, BZX84C9V1ET1 is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for automotive applications including cabin control panels and body electronics. The BZX84C9V1ET1 meets stress testing requirements for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and humidity exposure defined in AEC-Q101 Rev D. Its SOT-23 package and Pb-free construction further support automotive manufacturing standards.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current for BZX84C9V1ET1 at 7 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current for BZX84C9V1ET1 at VR = 7 V is 0.5 µA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at TA = 25°C and reflects worst-case leakage across the qualified production range. The BZX84C9V1ET1 maintains this low leakage performance, supporting ultra-low-power design goals in battery-operated sensor nodes.
Does BZX84C9V1ET1 have an internal connection on Pin 2?
No, Pin 2 of the BZX84C9V1ET1 is internally unconnected (NC), as explicitly stated in the datasheet's pinout diagram and marking information. The BZX84C9V1ET1 functions as a true two-terminal device with only Pins 1 (Anode) and 3 (Cathode) electrically active. PCB layout must leave Pin 2 floating - no solder mask opening or copper connection should be made to it.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for BZX84C9V1ET1 on FR-5 board?
The thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RJA) for BZX84C9V1ET1 on FR-5 board is 556 °C/W, as listed in the Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inch board). The BZX84C9V1ET1 uses this RJA to define its 1.8 mW/°C derating slope above 25°C ambient temperature.
