Product details
Overview
DFLZ9V1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0W surface-mount power Zener diode in PowerDI123 package, rated for 9.1V nominal Zener voltage at 50mA test current, with 1Ω typical Zener impedance and ±0.03%/°C to +0.08%/°C temperature coefficient. It provides precision voltage regulation in automotive and industrial power supply rails, ESD protection clamping, and reference voltage generation.
For engineers reviewing the DFLZ9V1-7 datasheet, DFLZ9V1-7 pinout, DFLZ9V1-7 application, or DFLZ9V1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage tolerance (±6.6%), thermal resistance junction-to-soldering point (9°C/W), reverse leakage (5µA @ 7.3V), and JEDEC-qualified reliability for high-reliability PCB designs.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage across load variations and temperature shifts. Its low 1Ω typical Zener impedance ensures minimal voltage deviation under dynamic current loads, while the ±0.03%/°C to +0.08%/°C temperature coefficient enables predictable drift behavior in ambient ranges from –55°C to +150°C.
The PowerDI123 package delivers 1.0W power dissipation on FR-4 PCBs with 2 oz. copper and 1"×1" pad layout, supported by a thermal resistance of 110°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 9°C/W (junction-to-soldering point). Cathode band marking identifies polarity for unambiguous board-level orientation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 1Ω typical / 4Ω max at 50mA - enables tight regulation under transient load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5µA max at VR = 7.3V - guarantees low standby power loss in voltage-clamp circuits |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 1.0W on standard FR-4 PCB - supports robust overvoltage protection without heatsinking |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJS) | 9°C/W junction-to-soldering point - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper for sustained operation |
| Temperature Coefficient | +0.03%/°C to +0.08%/°C - positive drift enables predictable compensation in multi-Zener networks |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1 (Diodes Inc.) | 300mW SOT-23 package; 9.1V ±5%, ZZT = 15Ω typical; RθJA = 350°C/W | Limited to low-power signal-level clamping; unsuitable for >100mA sustained regulation | Select when board space is critical and power <300mW; avoid for power rail stabilization |
| MMSZ5240B (ON Semiconductor) | 500mW SOD-123; 10V nominal (not 9.1V); ZZT = 17Ω; TC = +0.085%/°C | Requires circuit redesign for 10V vs. 9.1V; higher impedance reduces regulation fidelity | Choose only if 10V reference is acceptable and thermal margin permits 500mW derating |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1 and MMSZ5240B, DFLZ9V1-7 delivers 3.3× higher power handling, 15× lower Zener impedance, and superior thermal coupling-making it the sole choice for 1W-class automotive and industrial voltage regulation where stability under load and temperature is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the DFLZ9V1-7 can handle at 9.1V?
The DFLZ9V1-7 is not rated for continuous reverse current at its Zener voltage; instead, it is characterized at IZT = 50mA for specification purposes. Its 1.0W power rating implies a maximum steady-state reverse current of approximately 110mA at 9.1V (P = V × I), but derating per the power derating curve is required above +25°C ambient.
Does DFLZ9V1-7 support automotive AEC-Q200 qualification?
No - DFLZ9V1-7 is qualified to JEDEC standards referenced in AEC-Q for high reliability, but the automotive-compliant variant is DFLZ9V1Q (separate datasheet DS30464Q). The "Q" suffix denotes full AEC-Q200 stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and vibration.
Can DFLZ9V1-7 be used in parallel for higher power handling?
Parallel operation is not recommended due to mismatch in Zener voltage and temperature coefficient between units, which causes current imbalance and potential thermal runaway. For >1W requirements, use a single higher-rated device or active regulation instead.
What is the significance of the "-7" suffix in DFLZ9V1-7?
The "-7" denotes tape-and-reel packaging: 3,000 units per reel in PowerDI123 package. It has no electrical or functional impact - DFLZ9V1-7 and DFLZ9V1-13 share identical die and specifications; only packaging quantity (3k vs. 10k) differs.
