Product details
Overview
BZX85C9V1_T50R from onsemi is a 9.1 V to 9.6 V, ±5% tolerance, 1.0 W axial-leaded Zener diode in DO-41 glass package, designed for voltage regulation and reference applications in power supply feedback loops, overvoltage protection circuits, and precision biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the BZX85C9V1_T50R datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include zener voltage tolerance, dynamic impedance at test current, leakage current at rated reverse voltage, thermal derating behavior, and DO-41 mechanical compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BZX85C9V1_T50R operates as a silicon planar Zener diode with controlled avalanche breakdown, specified at IZ = 5 mA and lead temperature TL = 30°C ± 1°C. Its 9.1–9.6 V nominal zener voltage range ensures stable regulation under varying load and temperature conditions.
It exhibits ZZ = 25 Ω at IZ = 5 mA and ZZK = 5 Ω at IZK = 1 mA, supporting low-noise reference performance. Maximum leakage current is 0.5 μA at VR = 7.3 V, enabling high-impedance sensing and low-power standby operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 9.1 V min to 9.6 V max at IZ = 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage window under standard test conditions |
| Tolerance | ±5% - ensures predictable voltage accuracy across production lots without post-assembly trimming |
| Zener Impedance (ZZ) | 25 Ω @ IZ = 5 mA - determines regulation stiffness and AC ripple rejection in feedback paths |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0 W @ TA = 25°C - sets maximum continuous DC power handling before thermal derating begins |
| Thermal Derating | 6.67 mW/°C above 50°C - enables safe operation up to +200°C junction temperature with proper board layout |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 0.5 μA max @ VR = 7.3 V - supports ultra-low quiescent current designs in battery-backed systems |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max @ IF = 200 mA - confirms standard silicon PN junction conduction for polarity verification and ESD protection roles |
Pinout & Package
DO-41 glass axial package with cathode indicated by color band; leads are unmarked anode/cathode terminals suitable for manual or automated through-hole insertion.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (unbanded end) | Current entry terminal in forward bias | Connects to lower-potential node in regulation circuit; used for polarity identification and forward-voltage testing |
| Cathode (banded end) | Current exit terminal in reverse breakdown | Connects to regulated output node; band orientation must match PCB silkscreen for correct orientation during assembly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±5% Zener voltage tolerance | Enables direct replacement in legacy 9.1 V reference designs without recalibration or resistor adjustment |
| Low ZZK = 5 Ω @ IZK = 1 mA | Ensures stable regulation even at light loads, critical for microcontroller reset circuits and sensor biasing |
| DO-41 glass package | Provides hermetic sealing and high reliability in industrial environments with operating range –65°C to +200°C |
| 1.0 W power rating | Supports robust transient suppression in 12 V automotive and industrial power rails without external heat sinking |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback | Overvoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage of isolated flyback or buck-boost converters via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop. IC Role / Device Role: Precision voltage reference establishing error amplifier threshold. Use Value: Tight ±5% VZ tolerance and low ZZ ensure <1% output voltage drift across line/load/temperature in cost-sensitive SMPS designs. |
Use Scenario: Clamping transient surges on 12 V automotive accessory lines or industrial I/O ports. IC Role / Device Role: Shunt protector diverting excess energy to ground when voltage exceeds safe threshold. Use Value: 1.0 W dissipation capability and fast avalanche response limit peak clamped voltage to ≤9.6 V, protecting downstream 10 V-rated ICs. |
| Microcontroller Reset Circuit | Sensor Bias Reference |
Use Scenario: Generating clean, temperature-stable reset signal for ARM Cortex-M or PIC microcontrollers during power-up/down. IC Role / Device Role: Threshold detector feeding RC network into reset input pin. Use Value: 0.5 μA max leakage at 7.3 V prevents capacitor discharge errors, ensuring reliable reset assertion across –40°C to +125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable excitation voltage for resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) or strain gauges in measurement front-ends. IC Role / Device Role: Low-noise, low-drift voltage source for ratiometric analog signal conditioning. Use Value: 25 Ω dynamic impedance minimizes current-source variation with load changes, improving ADC effective resolution by ≥1 LSB. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4739A | Same 9.1 V nominal VZ, but ±5% tolerance and 1.0 W rating; ZZ = 8 Ω @ 19 mA (higher test current) | Optimized for higher-current regulation; less suitable for low-IZ bias networks due to different impedance curve | Select when operating near 19 mA and requiring lower dynamic impedance at that point |
| BZX55C9V1 | Same 9.1 V VZ and ±5% tolerance, but 500 mW rating and DO-35 package; ZZ = 20 Ω @ 5 mA | Lower power handling limits use in surge-clamp or high-duty-cycle regulator roles | Select only for space-constrained PCBs where 500 mW suffices and DO-35 footprint is preferred |
Compared with 1N4739A and BZX55C9V1, the BZX85C9V1_T50R offers balanced 1.0 W capability, DO-41 ruggedness, and verified 25 Ω impedance at 5 mA-making it optimal for general-purpose 9.1 V regulation where thermal margin and mechanical reliability are prioritized over minimal footprint or ultra-low ZZ.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for BZX85C9V1_T50R?
The BZX85C9V1_T50R has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 9.1 V minimum to 9.6 V maximum when measured at IZ = 5 mA and lead temperature TL = 30°C ± 1°C. This 9.1–9.6 V window reflects its ±5% tolerance specification and is validated per onsemi's BZX85C3V3–BZX85C56 datasheet Rev. 2 (October 2017). The BZX85C9V1_T50R does not support tighter tolerance grades.
Is BZX85C9V1_T50R compatible with DO-41 footprints on PCBs?
Yes, the BZX85C9V1_T50R uses the JEDEC DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial glass package with standardized dimensions: body diameter 2.03–2.72 mm, lead diameter 0.51–0.64 mm, and overall length ≥25.4 mm. Its cathode band aligns with industry-standard DO-41 silkscreen markings, ensuring drop-in compatibility with existing DO-41 land patterns and wave-solder tooling.
What is the maximum leakage current for BZX85C9V1_T50R at 7.3 V?
The maximum leakage current for BZX85C9V1_T50R is 0.5 μA when reverse-biased at VR = 7.3 V (80% of nominal VZ). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet and confirms suitability for low-power, high-impedance applications such as microcontroller reset circuits and sensor bias networks.
Can BZX85C9V1_T50R be used in automotive applications?
Yes, the BZX85C9V1_T50R supports automotive-grade operation with a qualified junction temperature range of –65°C to +200°C and DO-41 glass hermeticity. It meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components when sourced through authorized channels. Its 1.0 W rating and low leakage make it suitable for 12 V rail clamping and ECU reference functions.
How does the thermal derating of BZX85C9V1_T50R work above 50°C?
The BZX85C9V1_T50R derates linearly at 6.67 mW/°C above 50°C ambient, reducing its usable power from 1.0 W at 25°C to zero at approximately 200°C. This derating slope is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and requires thermal design consideration-such as copper pour area or airflow-for sustained operation above 50°C. The BZX85C9V1_T50R must not exceed its 200°C maximum storage temperature.
