Product details
Overview
LZ52C9V1W from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount Zener diode with a nominal reverse breakdown voltage of 9.1 V, ±2% tolerance, 500 mW power dissipation, and ultra-small 1206 package. It delivers stable voltage regulation in low-power biasing, reference, and overvoltage protection circuits for industrial sensors and power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the LZ52C9V1W datasheet, LZ52C9V1W pinout, LZ52C9V1W application, or LZ52C9V1W equivalent, key selection criteria include Zener voltage accuracy (8.92–9.28 V at 5 mA), low leakage (<0.1 µA at 6.8 V), and thermal resistance (300 °C/W) for reliable operation in compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse-biased breakdown mode to maintain a stable reference voltage across its terminals. Its silicon epitaxial planar construction ensures consistent VZ performance with tight 2% tolerance and low dynamic impedance (10 Ω at 5 mA, 50 Ω at 1 mA).
The device is optimized for surface-mount applications with a lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free "Green" molding compound, cathode-indicating color band, and 10 mg mass. It supports continuous operation from –65 °C to +175 °C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (VZ) | 8.92–9.28 V at IZT = 5 mA - defines precise regulation window for feedback or reference use |
| Power Dissipation (PTOT) | 500 mW at TA = 25 °C - sets maximum steady-state power handling before thermal derating |
| Zener Impedance (ZZT) | 10 Ω at 5 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation under small-signal ripple |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | <0.1 µA at VR = 6.8 V - ensures minimal current draw in standby or high-impedance bias networks |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 300 °C/W - determines junction temperature rise per watt in standard PCB layout without heatsinking |
| Package | 1206 (3.2 × 1.6 mm) - enables automated placement and high-density routing on consumer and industrial PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 1206 surface-mount ceramic-body package with cathode indicated by a color band on one end. Terminals are solderable, lead-free plated, and polarity-sensitive.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C9V1 | Same 9.1 V nominal, ±2% tolerance, but 300 mW rating and SOD-323 package | Lower power handling and smaller footprint; less thermal margin in sustained regulation | Prefer when board space is critical and power <300 mW |
| MMBZ5240BLT1G | 9.1 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, 350 mW, SOT-23 package, higher leakage (≤1 µA) | Looser voltage accuracy and higher leakage limit use in precision references | Acceptable for non-critical clamping where cost and availability dominate |
Compared with BZX584C9V1 and MMBZ5240BLT1G, LZ52C9V1W offers superior thermal robustness (500 mW, 300 °C/W) and tighter voltage tolerance-critical for stable feedback and reference designs where long-term drift and thermal derating must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage (VR) at which leakage remains below 0.1 µA?
The datasheet specifies that reverse leakage current (IR) is ≤0.1 µA at VR = 6.8 V. This is the highest voltage at which that leakage threshold is guaranteed; at higher voltages approaching VZ, leakage increases nonlinearly and is not specified below breakdown.
Can LZ52C9V1W be used in place of a 9.1 V through-hole Zener like 1N4739A?
No-it is not a direct replacement due to different package (1206 SMT vs. DO-41 through-hole), thermal characteristics (300 °C/W vs. ~120 °C/W), and mounting requirements. Board redesign and thermal validation are required before substitution.
Is this part recommended for new designs?
No-the datasheet explicitly states "LZ52C4V7W – LZ52C36W(LS) IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS. PLEASE CONTACT US." Customers should consult Diodes Incorporated for qualified replacements such as the BZT52 series or AP7361x LDO alternatives.
What does the marking "9V1" on the device body indicate?
The marking "9V1" is the industry-standard code for a 9.1 V Zener voltage rating. It appears as the visible laser-marked identifier on the cathode-end surface of the 1206 package and corresponds directly to the electrical specification in the datasheet.
