Product details
Overview
DZ9F4V3S92-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 4.3 V, ±5% tolerance (4.09–4.52 V), 5 mA test current, 100 Ω maximum zener impedance at 5 mA, and 200 mW power dissipation in SOD923 package. It provides precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in space-constrained power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DZ9F4V3S92-7 datasheet, DZ9F4V3S92-7 pinout, DZ9F4V3S92-7 application, or DZ9F4V3S92-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include zener voltage accuracy, low dynamic impedance, thermal stability (−3.5 mV/°C tempco), and ultra-small 1.0 × 0.6 mm footprint for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable voltage regulation across load and line variations. Its flat-lead SOD923 package enables efficient heat transfer from junction to PCB, supporting continuous operation up to +150°C ambient with 625°C/W thermal resistance.
Designed for low-current biasing and reference applications, it delivers tight voltage control at IZT = 5 mA with <210 pF capacitance and ≤5 µA reverse leakage at 1 V, making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog and mixed-signal circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 4.3 V nominal, 4.09–4.52 V range at 5 mA - ensures precise clamping in 3.3 V/5 V rail monitoring |
| Power Dissipation (PD) | 200 mW at +25°C - supports low-power regulation without heatsinking on standard FR-4 |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | ≤100 Ω at 5 mA - minimizes output voltage variation under dynamic load changes |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤5 µA at VR = 1 V - prevents excessive quiescent current in battery-powered systems |
| Temperature Coefficient | −3.5 mV/°C - enables predictable voltage drift compensation in temperature-varying environments |
| Capacitance (CT) | 210 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - compatible with low-frequency reference and protection, not RF bypass |
| Package | SOD923 (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.37 mm) - fits 0201-class board area with exposed terminals for visual solder inspection |
Pinout & Package
The SOD923 package is a two-terminal, cathode-banded surface-mount device. Terminals are flat-leaded with exposed metal for direct thermal conduction and optical solder-joint verification. No X-ray inspection required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward conduction terminal / Zener cathode reference ground | Connected to circuit ground or lower-potential node; defines polarity for reverse-bias operation |
| Cathode (banded end) | Zener breakdown terminal / regulated output node | Connected to voltage rail being clamped or referenced; carries reverse current during regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B4V3,115 (Nexperia) | Same 4.3 V nominal, but SOD-323 package (1.7 × 1.25 mm); 400 mW PD; 90 Ω ZZT | Larger footprint, higher power handling - better for higher-current clamping, less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Select when thermal margin >200 mW is required and board area permits SOD-323 |
| MMSZ4V3T1G (ON Semiconductor) | SOD-123 package (2.7 × 1.4 mm); 500 mW PD; 100 Ω ZZT; −3.5 mV/°C tempco | 3× larger footprint, higher power rating - suited for general-purpose regulation where density is secondary | Choose for legacy designs already using SOD-123 footprints or where higher surge energy absorption is needed |
Compared with BZX384-B4V3,115 and MMSZ4V3T1G, DZ9F4V3S92-7 offers the smallest board area (1.0 × 0.6 mm) and lowest profile (0.37 mm height), enabling miniaturized designs where thermal load remains ≤200 mW and zener impedance ≤100 Ω is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage this Zener diode can withstand before breakdown?
The DZ9F4V3S92-7 has a nominal zener voltage of 4.3 V with a guaranteed breakdown range of 4.09 V to 4.52 V at 5 mA test current. It does not specify a separate "maximum reverse voltage" rating; operation above 4.52 V in reverse bias will initiate controlled zener conduction, limited by external current limiting to stay within its 200 mW power rating.
Can this part be used in place of a 3.3 V Zener diode?
No - DZ9F4V3S92-7 is rated for 4.3 V nominal zener voltage and is not interchangeable with 3.3 V Zeners such as DZ9F3V3S92. Substituting it would raise the clamping or reference voltage by ~1 V, potentially causing overvoltage stress on downstream 3.3 V components or incorrect reset thresholds.
Is the SOD923 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOD923 package is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its matte tin finish and Alloy 42 leadframe ensure reliable solderability per MIL-STD-202, Method 208 without special paste or preheat adjustments.
Does this Zener diode have a specified failure mode under overcurrent conditions?
Under sustained overcurrent exceeding its 200 mW power limit, DZ9F4V3S92-7 will experience thermal runaway leading to open-circuit failure. The datasheet specifies no short-circuit failure mode; design must include series current limiting (e.g., ≥1 kΩ resistor at 5 V supply) to prevent irreversible junction damage.
