Product details
Overview
NZ9F3V9ST5G from onsemi is a 3.89 V to 4.16 V Zener diode in SOD-923 package, rated for 250 mW steady-state power dissipation, ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, and ESD-rated to >16 kV (HBM). It serves as a precision voltage reference and overvoltage clamp in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NZ9F3V9ST5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its tight VZ tolerance, low-profile 0.40 mm height, AEC-Q101 qualification (SZ-prefix variant), thermal resistance of 500 °C/W, and compatibility with reflow profiles up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage-regulating diode, conducting in reverse breakdown to maintain stable voltage across load circuits. Its Zener impedance is ≤100 Ω at IZT = 5 mA and ≤1000 Ω at IZK = 1.0 mA, with reverse leakage ≤5 μA at VR = 1 V.
The NZ9F3V9ST5G exhibits a temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/°C at IZT = 5 mA and maximum junction capacitance of 210 pF at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz. It is Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified per MSL Level 1.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C3V9 | 3.9 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOD-523 package (0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3 mm), 200 mW rating | Smaller footprint but lower power rating; higher ZZK (2000 Ω) limits low-current regulation fidelity | Preferred when board area is more constrained than power margin, and leakage <1 μA @ 1 V is required |
| MMSZ4685 | 3.9 V nominal, ±5% tolerance, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm), 500 mW rating | Larger package increases board area use; higher PD supports sustained clamping in industrial environments | Chosen when thermal performance (RJA ≈ 300 °C/W) and higher surge energy absorption are critical |
Compared with BZX584C3V9 and MMSZ4685, the NZ9F3V9ST5G delivers optimal balance of ultra-small size, AEC-Q101 readiness, and 250 mW capability-making it ideal for next-gen portable and automotive-qualified designs where both volume and reliability matter.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range specified for NZ9F3V9ST5G?
The NZ9F3V9ST5G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.89 V to 4.16 V when tested at IZT = 5 mA and TA = 25 °C. This 5% tolerance band is tighter than many legacy Zeners and supports accurate voltage clamping or referencing without post-production trimming.
Is NZ9F3V9ST5G qualified for automotive applications?
The SZ-prefix variant (SZNZ9F3V9ST5G) is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, but the standard NZ9F3V9ST5G is not automotive-qualified. For automotive use, specify SZNZ9F3V9ST5G-both share identical electrical specs, packaging, and marking except for qualification documentation and traceability controls.
What is the maximum operating temperature for NZ9F3V9ST5G?
The NZ9F3V9ST5G has a junction and storage temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance (RJA) is 500 °C/W, so at 250 mW dissipation and TA = 85 °C, junction temperature reaches ~210 °C-exceeding rating. Derating is required: max PD drops to 150 mW at 85 °C ambient.
Does NZ9F3V9ST5G have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, NZ9F3V9ST5G uses Style 1 marking per onsemi mechanical drawing: Pin 1 (cathode) is indicated by a polarity band on the package body. The marking code "A" (per datasheet page 3) appears adjacent to the band, confirming cathode orientation. Anode is unmarked Pin 2.
What is the forward voltage specification for NZ9F3V9ST5G?
The NZ9F3V9ST5G has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 0.9 V at IF = 10 mA, consistent across the entire NZ9F series. This parameter matters for reverse-polarity protection circuits where the diode may conduct forward during fault conditions.
