Product details
Overview
BZX84C9V1Q-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade 9.1 V, 350 mW surface-mount Zener diode in SOT23 package, designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in low-power analog circuits. It delivers ±5.5% Zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, exhibits 15 Ω dynamic impedance at IZT, and maintains stable operation across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient range - used in automotive sensor biasing and MCU reference stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C9V1Q-7-F datasheet, BZX84C9V1Q-7-F pinout, BZX84C9V1Q-7-F application, or BZX84C9V1Q-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (8.5–9.6 V), low reverse leakage (<0.5 µA @ 6.0 V), temperature coefficient (+3.8 mV/°C), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal 9.1 V regulation point at 5 mA test current, featuring a 15 Ω Zener impedance at IZT and 100 Ω at knee current (IZK = 1.0 mA). Its positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C enables predictable drift compensation in voltage references.
The device uses planar die construction in a molded plastic SOT23 case with matte tin-plated alloy 42 leads, rated for 350 mW power dissipation at TA = 25 °C and derated linearly above 50 °C per the published curve. It meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements for high-reliability automotive use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V nominal, 8.5–9.6 V min/max at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for supply rail protection |
| Power Dissipation | 350 mW at TA = 25 °C - supports continuous regulation in compact PCB layouts without forced cooling |
| Zener Impedance | 15 Ω at IZT = 5 mA; 100 Ω at IZK = 1.0 mA - determines output voltage stability under varying load current |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.5 µA max at VR = 6.0 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in battery-powered sensing nodes |
| Temperature Coefficient | +3.8 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift correction in temperature-sensitive analog front-ends |
| Operating Temperature | –65 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments and industrial control enclosures |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package with 0.915 mm lead pitch, 2.40 mm body length, and UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward conduction terminal | Connected to lower-potential node during Zener operation; required for correct polarity in reverse-bias configuration |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Zener breakdown terminal | Connected to higher-potential node; carries regulated current when reverse voltage exceeds 9.1 V |
| NC / Dummy (Pin 3) | Non-connected internal tie | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated - must not be soldered to trace or plane to avoid mechanical stress |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and ADAS sensor interfaces |
| Green molding compound | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - compliant with RoHS 3 and automotive environmental standards |
| Low thermal resistance | RθJA = 357 °C/W (with terminals at ambient) - enables reliable power handling without heatsinking |
| Stable Zener knee | IZK = 1.0 mA with VZK = 7.0 V - ensures predictable turn-on behavior in low-current regulation circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMSZ5240B-TP (Micro Commercial) | 9.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 500 mW rating, SOD-123 package | Larger footprint and higher power - suited for non-space-constrained industrial boards | Select when higher surge energy handling is needed and SOT23 size is not mandatory |
| BZX84-C9V1,115 (Nexperia) | 9.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 300 mW rating, AEC-Q101 qualified, same SOT23 package | Slightly lower power rating and different Zener impedance (20 Ω vs. 15 Ω) | Choose for cost-sensitive automotive designs where 300 mW suffices and tighter ZZT is not critical |
Compared with MMSZ5240B-TP and BZX84-C9V1,115, BZX84C9V1Q-7-F offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, 350 mW capability, and 15 Ω Zener impedance in the industry-standard SOT23 footprint - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-stability automotive voltage references.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C9V1Q-7-F?
The nominal Zener voltage is 9.1 V at 5 mA test current, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 8.5 V and 9.6 V respectively. Breakdown occurs within this range depending on unit-to-unit variation and operating temperature - no fixed "maximum reverse voltage" exists outside this specification band.
Is BZX84C9V1Q-7-F compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - it features matte tin finish over alloy 42 leadframe, qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1 and peak reflow temperature tolerance up to 260 °C.
How does temperature affect the Zener voltage of this diode?
It has a positive temperature coefficient of +3.8 mV/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases by approximately 3.8 mV for each 1 °C rise in junction temperature - enabling predictable compensation in temperature-critical references.
Can BZX84C9V1Q-7-F replace BZX84C9V1-7-F in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical electrical specifications and SOT23 package; the "Q" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, so the Q-version adds automotive reliability validation without altering pinout, footprint, or performance parameters.
