Product details
Overview
DZ9F3V9S92-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 3.9 V (±5.4% tolerance), 5 mA test current, 100 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA, −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient, and 210 pF capacitance at 1 MHz. It operates in ultra-small SOD923 package (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.37 mm) for precision voltage reference in space-constrained power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DZ9F3V9S92-7 datasheet, DZ9F3V9S92-7 pinout, DZ9F3V9S92-7 application, or DZ9F3V9S92-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage stability across temperature, low leakage (<5 µA @ 1 V reverse), thermal resistance (625 °C/W), and compatibility with automated optical inspection due to exposed terminals.
Technical Context
This Zener diode functions as a two-terminal voltage reference device operating in reverse breakdown mode. Its −3.5 mV/°C temperature coefficient ensures predictable drift over −65°C to +150°C ambient range, and its 210 pF junction capacitance supports stable performance in low-frequency regulation and signal clamping applications.
The SOD923 package features flat leads and exposed terminals enabling direct visual solder-joint verification without X-ray inspection. Thermal performance is defined for FR-4 PCB mounting with Diodes Incorporated's recommended pad layout, delivering 200 mW power dissipation at 25°C with 2.0 mW/°C derating above that temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 3.9 V nominal, 3.71–4.10 V range at 5 mA - enables precise low-voltage rail stabilization |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 100 Ω max at 5 mA - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 5 µA max at 1 V reverse - reduces quiescent current in battery-powered bias networks |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | −3.5 mV/°C - provides predictable negative drift for compensated reference designs |
| Junction Capacitance (CT) | 210 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - suitable for DC/low-frequency regulation, not RF bypass |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at 25°C - limits usable current to ~51 mA at 3.9 V in continuous operation |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 625 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area planning for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD923 (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.37 mm), flat-lead, thermally efficient, with cathode band marking on top surface. Exposed terminals enable optical solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node in shunt regulator configuration |
| Cathode | Reverse-biased Zener terminal / voltage reference output | Connected to regulated node; voltage develops across cathode-to-anode when reverse biased ≥3.71 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SOD923 footprint | 1.0 × 0.6 mm area - saves >60% board space vs. SOD-123 in high-density portable designs |
| Exposed, visible terminals | No X-ray required for solder joint validation - reduces manufacturing QA cost and cycle time |
| Lead-free & halogen-free construction | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - compliant for global eco-labeling |
| Low thermal resistance design | 625 °C/W on FR-4 with recommended pads - enables stable operation up to +125°C ambient in compact layouts |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B3V9,115 (Nexperia) | Same 3.9 V nominal, SOD323 package (1.3 × 0.8 mm), 90 Ω ZZT, −3.5 mV/°C TC, but 300 pF CT | Higher capacitance limits use in >100 kHz signal paths; larger footprint reduces density | Select if higher surge rating (400 mW) is prioritized over size and capacitance |
| MMSZ4685T1G (onsemi) | 3.9 V nominal, SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm), 100 Ω ZZT, −3.5 mV/°C TC, 250 pF CT, 500 mW PD | 3× larger footprint; higher power rating suits higher-current shunt applications | Choose when thermal margin >200 mW is required and board space permits larger package |
Compared with BZX384-B3V9 and MMSZ4685T1G, DZ9F3V9S92-7 delivers superior board-area efficiency and lower junction capacitance while matching zener voltage accuracy and temperature coefficient - ideal where miniaturization and signal integrity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener can withstand before breakdown?
The DZ9F3V9S92-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 3.9 V with a guaranteed range of 3.71 V to 4.10 V at 5 mA test current. Breakdown begins within this range under reverse bias; it is not rated for sustained operation above 4.10 V without exceeding power or thermal limits. Absolute maximum reverse voltage is not specified separately - operation must remain within the zener regulation region defined by its IZ-VZ curve.
Can this device be used in place of a standard 1N4733A?
No - the 1N4733A is a 5.1 V, 1 W through-hole Zener in DO-41 package, whereas DZ9F3V9S92-7 is a 3.9 V, 200 mW surface-mount device in SOD923. They differ in voltage, power rating, package, thermal behavior, and mounting method. Substitution would require redesign of PCB layout, thermal relief, and circuit biasing - not a drop-in replacement.
Is the cathode band polarity consistent across all DZ9F-series markings?
Yes - all DZ9F-series diodes, including DZ9F3V9S92-7, use a single cathode band on the top surface of the SOD923 package to denote the cathode terminal. The marking code "ZF" appears adjacent to the band; orientation matches Diodes Incorporated's SOD923 mechanical drawing (Document DS37439, page 4), with cathode on the band side and anode on the opposite end.
Does this Zener meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?
No - DZ9F3V9S92-7 is not qualified to AEC-Q200. Its datasheet specifies only commercial/industrial temperature range (−65°C to +150°C) and does not list AEC-Q200 stress testing, qualification reports, or automotive-specific reliability data. For automotive applications, Diodes Incorporated offers the AZ series (e.g., AZ9F3V9S92), which undergoes full AEC-Q200 qualification.
