Product details
Overview
NZ9F3V9T5G from onsemi is a 3.71–4.10 V, 250 mW SOD-923 surface-mount Zener diode designed for precision voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics. It delivers ±5% Zener voltage tolerance at 5 mA test current, features 100 Ω max Zener impedance at IZT, and supports ESD robustness >16 kV (HBM).
For engineers reviewing the NZ9F3V9T5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping, validated electrical parameters, confirmed thermal derating behavior, and real-world use cases in battery-powered consumer and industrial systems.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal shunt regulator with fixed reverse breakdown voltage. Its low-profile SOD-923 package (1.00 × 0.60 × 0.37 mm) enables placement on high-density PCBs, while its MSL 1 rating and 260 °C reflow compatibility support automated assembly.
The NZ9F3V9T5G exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −2.5 mV/°C for VZ, stable leakage current ≤5 µA at 3.15 V reverse bias, and 210 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz - making it suitable for low-noise signal conditioning and transient suppression where parasitic capacitance must be bounded.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX584C3V9 | Same 3.9 V nominal VZ, but SOD-523 package (1.2 × 0.8 mm); 300 mW PD; 120 Ω ZZT | Higher power handling but 20% larger footprint; less suitable for <0.8 mm board clearance zones | Select when higher surge energy absorption is required and board space permits larger package |
| MMSZ4685T1G | 3.9 V nominal VZ, SOD-123 package (3.7 × 1.6 mm); 500 mW PD; 150 Ω ZZT; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Significantly larger footprint; suited for non-automotive industrial use with relaxed size constraints | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where thermal margin >250 mW is needed |
Compared with BZX584C3V9 and MMSZ4685T1G, the NZ9F3V9T5G offers the smallest footprint among 3.9 V Zeners with AEC-Q101 capability, enabling miniaturized automotive and portable designs where board area and qualification are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the exact Zener voltage range specified for NZ9F3V9T5G?
The NZ9F3V9T5G has a guaranteed Zener voltage range of 3.71 V to 4.10 V when tested at 5 mA reverse current and 25 °C ambient temperature. This ±5% tolerance is defined per onsemi's Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet, and applies directly to the NZ9F3V9T5G part number without interpolation or family-level assumption.
Does NZ9F3V9T5G have automotive qualification?
The NZ9F3V9T5G itself carries no AEC-Q101 qualification; only variants with the "SZ" prefix (e.g., SZNZ9F3V9T5G) are AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable. The NZ9F3V9T5G is intended for commercial and industrial applications, with identical electrical specs but different process controls and traceability documentation than the SZ-prefixed version.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for NZ9F3V9T5G?
The NZ9F3V9T5G has a specified junction and storage temperature range of −65 °C to +150 °C. Its thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient is 500 °C/W on FR-5 board, meaning sustained operation above 25 °C ambient requires linear derating at 2.0 mW/°C beyond that point to remain within the 250 mW absolute maximum power rating.
Can NZ9F3V9T5G replace a 3.3 V Zener diode in a 3.3 V rail protection circuit?
No - the NZ9F3V9T5G is not suitable for direct replacement of a 3.3 V Zener because its minimum specified Zener voltage is 3.71 V, which exceeds typical 3.3 V rail tolerance (±5% = 3.135–3.465 V). Using NZ9F3V9T5G would result in ineffective clamping below 3.71 V and potential overvoltage exposure to downstream 3.3 V components.
What marking code identifies NZ9F3V9T5G on the SOD-923 package?
The NZ9F3V9T5G is marked with the code "V" on the top surface of the SOD-923 package, followed by a date code. Per the marking diagram in the datasheet (page 4), "V" is the specific device code assigned exclusively to NZ9F3V9T5G in the NZ9FxxxxT5G series, and the cathode is identified by a polarity band adjacent to pin 1.
