Product details
Overview
BZX85C9V1-TR from Vishay is a silicon planar power Zener diode designed for voltage stabilization and clipping circuits requiring 1.3 W power dissipation, 8.5–9.6 V nominal Zener voltage at 6.8 mA test current, and DO-41 glass package with cathode band marking. It operates in industrial power supply regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BZX85C9V1-TR datasheet, BZX85C9V1-TR pinout, BZX85C9V1-TR application, or BZX85C9V1-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±5 %), dynamic resistance (< 5 Ω at 6.8 mA), temperature coefficient (+0.035 to +0.075 %/°C), and thermal resistance (130 °C/W junction-to-ambient).
Technical Context
This device functions as a two-terminal voltage reference with sharp reverse breakdown at 9.1 V nominal. Its silicon planar construction ensures stable Zener characteristics under pulsed and DC conditions, with specified operation up to 175 °C junction temperature and storage from –55 °C to +175 °C.
The BZX85C9V1-TR exhibits low dynamic impedance (< 5 Ω at IZT = 6.8 mA) and controlled temperature coefficient (+0.035 to +0.075 %/°C), enabling predictable voltage regulation across ambient temperature variations without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.5–9.6 V at IZT = 6.8 mA - defines stable regulation range for mid-voltage rail clamping |
| Power Dissipation (Ptot) | 1.3 W - maximum continuous power handling at Tamb = 25 °C with leads held at ambient within 10 mm of case |
| Dynamic Resistance (rZT) | < 5 Ω at IZT = 6.8 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load current changes |
| Temperature Coefficient (αVZ) | +0.035 to +0.075 %/°C - quantifies positive drift of Zener voltage with rising junction temperature |
| Reverse Leakage Current | < 1 µA at VR = 6.8 V - guarantees negligible standby current in high-impedance bias networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 175 °C - sets upper thermal limit for reliable long-term operation in enclosed or high-ambient environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RthJA) | 130 °C/W - determines temperature rise above ambient per watt dissipated; requires adequate PCB copper for derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-41 glass axial package, 4.1 mm diameter × 26 mm length, cathode identified by single black band near one lead end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener reference ground node | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential rail; forms reference return path during reverse breakdown |
| Cathode | Reverse breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to voltage rail being stabilized; supplies regulated 9.1 V reference when reverse-biased above breakdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silicon planar construction | Ensures repeatable Zener voltage grading per E24 standard and stable long-term parametric performance |
| 1.3 W power rating | Supports robust voltage clamping in transient suppression and linear regulator shunt applications |
| DO-41 glass package | Provides hermetic sealing, mechanical durability, and compatibility with wave soldering and axial through-hole assembly |
| ±5 % Zener voltage tolerance | Enables cost-effective selection for non-critical stabilization where tight regulation is not required |
| Low rZT < 5 Ω | Minimizes output impedance for improved line and load regulation in feedback or reference circuits |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Regulation | Overvoltage Protection Circuit |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBZ5240B | Surface-mount SOD-123 package, 10 V nominal, 0.5 W rating, ±5 % tolerance | Requires PCB redesign for SMT placement; unsuitable for high-power dissipation (>0.5 W) | Select when board space is constrained and power requirements are ≤0.5 W; verify thermal pad layout for reliability |
| STMicroelectronics BZT52-C9V1 | SOD-123 package, same 9.1 V rating and ±5 % tolerance, 0.5 W Ptot, RthJA = 500 °C/W | Limited to low-power bias/reference use; cannot replace BZX85C9V1-TR in 1.3 W applications without derating | Choose only for signal-level referencing where dissipation remains below 150 mW; confirm thermal margin in final layout |
Compared with MMBZ5240B and BZT52-C9V1, the BZX85C9V1-TR delivers 2.6× higher power handling and 3.8× lower thermal resistance in a through-hole DO-41 package-making it uniquely suitable for legacy industrial designs, high-reliability linear regulators, and transient clamping where axial mounting and robust thermal performance are required.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of the BZX85C9V1-TR?
The BZX85C9V1-TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a tolerance of ±5 %, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 8.5–9.6 V at IZT = 6.8 mA. This tolerance aligns with the international E24 resistor standard and reflects the "C" suffix designation in the BZX85-Series family.
Can the BZX85C9V1-TR be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the BZX85C9V1-TR uses a DO-41 axial glass package intended for through-hole mounting. It is not compatible with SMT reflow or pick-and-place processes. For surface-mount alternatives, consider the SOD-123 packaged BZT52-C9V1 or MMBZ5240B, though both are limited to 0.5 W power dissipation.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for the BZX85C9V1-TR?
The absolute maximum junction temperature for the BZX85C9V1-TR is 175 °C, as specified in the Vishay BZX85-Series datasheet (Document Number 85607, Rev. 1.7). Operation beyond this temperature risks irreversible parametric shift or catastrophic failure.
How does the temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy in the BZX85C9V1-TR?
The BZX85C9V1-TR exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of +0.035 to +0.075 %/°C, meaning its Zener voltage increases predictably with rising junction temperature. At 9.1 V nominal, this equates to +3.2 to +6.8 mV/°C drift-critical for applications requiring stable reference over wide temperature ranges.
Is the BZX85C9V1-TR RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-the BZX85C9V1-TR complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per Vishay's material declarations. The device contains no ozone-depleting substances and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for DO-41 packaging.
