Product details
Overview
PDZ9.1BGWX from Nexperia is a single Zener diode in SOD123 surface-mount package, designed for precision voltage regulation and reference applications at 9.1 V nominal Zener voltage (IZ = 5 mA), ±2 % tolerance (B-series), 60 Ω max differential resistance, and 0.5 μA max reverse current at VR = 7.3 V. It supports automotive-grade reliability with AEC-Q101 qualification and operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range.
For engineers reviewing the PDZ9.1BGWX datasheet, PDZ9.1BGWX pinout, PDZ9.1BGWX application, or PDZ9.1BGWX equivalent, this device is selected for low-power voltage clamping, overvoltage protection in sensor interfaces, and stable biasing in analog front-ends where tight Zener voltage tolerance and thermal stability are critical.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode with a nominal working voltage of 9.1 V at 5 mA test current, exhibiting a temperature coefficient of +5.5 mV/K - indicating positive drift with junction temperature rise. Its differential resistance of ≤60 Ω ensures minimal dynamic impedance during regulation, supporting stable output under varying load conditions.
The device features non-repetitive peak reverse power dissipation up to 40 W (tp = 100 μs), total power dissipation of 365 mW (Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB), and thermal resistance from junction to ambient of 340 K/W - confirming suitability for compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts without forced cooling.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Zener Voltage VZ | 8.85 V to 9.23 V at IZ = 5 mA - defines precise clamping threshold for 9.1 V nominal regulation |
| Tolerance | ±2 % (B-series) - enables high-accuracy voltage references without post-production trimming |
| Differential Resistance rdif | ≤60 Ω - ensures low dynamic impedance for stable regulation under small-signal load variations |
| Reverse Current IR | ≤0.5 μA at VR = 7.3 V - guarantees minimal leakage in standby or low-power monitoring circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient SZ | +5.5 mV/K at IZ = 5 mA - quantifies predictable positive voltage drift with temperature, aiding thermal compensation design |
| Non-repetitive Peak Current IZSM | 3.5 A (tp = 100 μs) - supports transient surge suppression in ESD-coupled signal lines |
| Total Power Dissipation Ptot | 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on standard FR4 PCB - sets continuous operating limit for passive thermal management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84-C9V1 | Same 9.1 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOT23 package, 300 mW Ptot | Higher tolerance and smaller package reduce thermal margin but improve board density | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision; avoid in automotive or wide-temperature industrial use |
| MMSZ5240B | 9.1 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance, SOD123 package, 500 mW Ptot, 100 Ω rdif | Higher power rating but looser tolerance and higher impedance compromise regulation accuracy | Prefer for higher-power clamping where ±5 % VZ is acceptable; not suitable for precision references |
Compared with BZX84-C9V1 and MMSZ5240B, PDZ9.1BGWX delivers tighter ±2 % tolerance and lower 60 Ω impedance in the same SOD123 footprint - making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications requiring stable voltage references across temperature and lifetime.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse current the PDZ9.1BGWX can sustain at 25 °C?
The PDZ9.1BGWX is rated for a total power dissipation of 365 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C on a standard FR4 PCB. At its nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V, this corresponds to a maximum continuous reverse current of approximately 40 mA (365 mW ÷ 9.1 V), assuming steady-state DC operation and no additional thermal derating.
How does the +5.5 mV/K temperature coefficient affect regulation accuracy over temperature?
With a +5.5 mV/K temperature coefficient at IZ = 5 mA, the Zener voltage increases by 5.5 mV per Kelvin rise in junction temperature. Over a −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range (ΔT = 165 K), this results in a theoretical shift of +0.908 V - but actual drift is mitigated by the device's low thermal resistance and system-level thermal design, keeping total error within ±1.5 % in validated automotive implementations.
Can PDZ9.1BGWX be used in parallel for higher power handling?
No - Zener diodes exhibit manufacturing variance in VZ and rdif, causing current imbalance when paralleled. Even with matched units, thermal runaway risk remains due to positive temperature coefficient. For higher power, select a single higher-rated Zener (e.g., PZM series) or implement active regulation instead.
Is the SOD123 package compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?
Yes - the PDZ9.1BGWX SOD123 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per IPC-J-STD-020. Recommended profile includes peak temperature of 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, ramp rate ≤3 °C/s, and time above 217 °C of 60–150 seconds. Footprint dimensions (3.27 mm × 1.11 mm Cu pad) and solder paste stencil design must follow Nexperia's Figure 9 specifications.
