Product details
Overview
BZX84W-B9V1-QX from Nexperia is a ±2% tolerance Zener voltage regulator diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage at 5 mA, 100 Ω differential resistance, and 5.5 mV/K temperature coefficient. It delivers stable reference voltage in automotive power supply rails, ECU voltage clamping, and sensor biasing circuits with 275 mW total power dissipation.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84W-B9V1-QX datasheet, BZX84W-B9V1-QX pinout, BZX84W-B9V1-QX application, or BZX84W-B9V1-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±2%), AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (455 K/W), reverse leakage current (500 nA at 6 V), and SOT323 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain a precise 9.1 V reference under regulated current conditions. Its ±2% tolerance ensures tight voltage control across production batches, while the 5.5 mV/K temperature coefficient enables predictable drift compensation in ambient ranges from −55 °C to +150 °C.
The device uses silicon planar epitaxial construction with an anode-cathode configuration and one unconnected terminal (Pin 2). It supports surge handling up to 40 W for 100 µs pulses and exhibits 3 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 0 V reverse bias-critical for noise-sensitive analog sensing nodes.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84W-C9V1-Q | ±5% tolerance (C-series), 150 Ω rdif max, 500 nA IR at 6 V | Lower cost grade suitable for non-critical biasing where tighter voltage control is not required | Select when ±5% regulation accuracy suffices and AEC-Q101 compliance is retained |
| MMSZ5240B-TP | ±5% tolerance, SOD-123 package, 150 Ω rdif, 500 nA IR at 6 V, 500 mW Ptot | Larger footprint and higher power rating; less suitable for ultra-dense automotive PCBs | Choose when higher power margin is needed and board space allows SOD-123 layout |
Compared with BZX84W-B9V1-QX, the C9V1-Q offers relaxed tolerance at identical automotive qualification, while MMSZ5240B-TP trades miniaturization for higher power handling-making the BZX84W-B9V1-QX optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive voltage references requiring ±2% stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse current specification for BZX84W-B9V1-QX at 6 V?
The maximum reverse leakage current (IR) is 500 nA at VR = 6 V and Tj = 25 °C, measured per Table 7 of the official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 1 (2021). This value remains valid across the full −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and confirms suitability for ultra-low-power always-on monitoring circuits.
Is BZX84W-B9V1-QX compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes-BZX84W-B9V1-QX is qualified for standard lead-free reflow processes per JEDEC J-STD-020. The SOT323 package withstands peak temperatures up to 260 °C for 30 seconds, and Figure 9 in the datasheet provides the recommended solder land pattern (2.65 mm × 2.35 mm) and stencil aperture dimensions for optimal wetting and coplanarity.
How does the 100 Ω differential resistance affect regulation accuracy under load variation?
At IZ = 5 mA, a 100 Ω rdif causes a 100 mV change in VZ for every 1 mA change in Zener current. This directly impacts regulation stability in dynamic load conditions-e.g., a 2 mA load step induces ~200 mV output shift-making it critical to pair this diode with adequate current-source headroom or buffering in precision references.
Does the n.c. pin (Pin 2) require grounding or PCB routing?
No-Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain electrically floating. Routing copper to or near this pad may cause parasitic coupling or solder bridging; the datasheet explicitly requires leaving Pin 2 unconnected in both schematic symbol and PCB layout, with no trace, via, or thermal relief attached.
