Product details
Overview
BZX84C9V1W-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 9.1 V, 200 mW power dissipation, and SOT-323 package. It regulates voltage in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits, operating across –65 °C to +125 °C with ±0.5 V zener tolerance at 5 mA test current.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C9V1W-7 datasheet, BZX84C9V1W-7 pinout, BZX84C9V1W-7 application, or BZX84C9V1W-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy (8.5–9.6 V), dynamic impedance (15 Ω at 5 mA), reverse leakage (0.5 µA at 6 V), and thermal resistance (625 K/W) for PCB-level thermal design.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar die construction for stable breakdown characteristics and low temperature coefficient (+3.8 to +7.0 mV/°C). It operates under reverse-biased conditions with specified zener current (IZT = 5 mA) and knee current (IZK = 1.0 mA), delivering precise voltage regulation in compact DC signal conditioning paths.
Its ultra-small SOT-323 package supports high-density layouts while maintaining compliance with J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 and UL 94V-0 flammability rating. The matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe ensures solderability and RoHS conformance without intentionally added lead.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMBZ5240BS-7-F | Zener voltage 10 V (min 9.5 V, max 10.5 V); 350 mW power rating; SOT-323 package | Higher voltage and power support wider margin in clamp designs but less precise for 9.1 V references | Select when higher clamping headroom or elevated power handling is required |
| BZX84-C9V1,115 | Same 9.1 V zener voltage; 250 mW rating; SOT-23 package (larger footprint, different pad layout) | SOT-23 requires PCB redesign; slightly better thermal performance due to larger copper exposure | Select when existing SOT-23 layout exists and thermal derating above 200 mW is needed |
Compared with MMBZ5240BS-7-F and BZX84-C9V1,115, the BZX84C9V1W-7 offers tighter 8.5–9.6 V tolerance at 200 mW in the smallest SOT-323 form factor-ideal for space-constrained 9.1 V reference and clamp roles where leakage (<0.5 µA) and low dynamic impedance (15 Ω) are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage before breakdown for BZX84C9V1W-7?
The BZX84C9V1W-7 exhibits sharp zener breakdown beginning at approximately 8.5 V (minimum specified zener voltage) and fully regulating within 8.5–9.6 V at 5 mA test current. Below 6 V, reverse leakage remains ≤0.5 µA, confirming no significant conduction prior to the zener knee.
Can BZX84C9V1W-7 be used in place of a 9 V battery reference?
Yes-it provides a stable 9.1 V reference with ±0.5 V tolerance at 5 mA, suitable for non-critical analog references. However, its 200 mW limit restricts sustained current to ~22 mA at 9.1 V; for higher current or tighter tolerance, active references or buffered Zeners are recommended.
Is the SOT-323 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes-the SOT-323 package is rated for moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020D and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its UL 94V-0 molded plastic body and matte tin plating ensure reliable solder joint formation without pre-baking requirements.
How does temperature affect the zener voltage of BZX84C9V1W-7?
The temperature coefficient is +3.8 to +7.0 mV/°C at 5 mA, indicating positive drift: voltage increases ~5 mV per °C rise. At 85 °C ambient, expect ~0.3 V higher zener voltage than at 25 °C-critical for precision references requiring thermal compensation.
